True, but human hands arent either. I can see how this might be a comfortable design to use, but I am spoiled by FPS games and now I have to have a 5 button mouse.
I dont think I could use that new MS mouse either, would be like cutting off a big toe, I would have to learn to walk again anyway.
This loonie wants to go on record as saying" there was no "significant" theft. What was stolen was not finished, fact of the matter is the game wansnt finished, and they used this minor theft of an unfinished source to stave off the criticism about the missed release date.
It adds up to about the same thing for us gammers, Valve did lie even if it was a lie about the scope of the theft. The said they couldnt release the game at that point due to online cheats. All fine and good but then not too long ago Valve stated that the game wasnt finished at the time of the theft and wasnt even really in a beta state of compleation. Makes no difference to me, they lost my confidence. I'll buy the game.....eventually, if the multiplayer is good. If not then I will play my friends copy for the single player mode, until I finish it and then just be done with it.
The lie wasnt the theft, the lie was that the theft forced the missed release date. The effect on my end is about the same.
The plate is there so they can identify me if I do have commited a crime. Not so I can be added to a list of suspects of a possibilty of a crime.
It is not there so a computer can look up my record because I have the nerve to drive through a town that is WAY too upper class for me to have any business there.
This isnt 1984 folks this is a evilly rich town throwing out he riffraff. Its just fucking automated, Police enforced, Economic discrimination.
They want to catch burgalers hehehe. Wanna bet the system turns up (and ignores) more embezzelers and tax cheats on the average day?
Usually when I find confilcting stories like this I assume the worst is true. And I am seldom suprised later when the truth of it goes into real world effect.
He didnt say he wanted to make a consumer quality device, he just asked what he could use the LCD for. Regular TV is well below the 800x600 that the LCD probably is.
I have a DIY PJ built from a multimedia LCD and a overhead projector. Its just 640 x480 but at 5 foot wide it looks better than some rear projection screens I have seen. YMMV;)
I have seen divorce paperd delivered at work several times. In fact I have seen wives bring papers out to a jobsite for a guy to sign while she waited, and all his friends laughed at him the whole time. If you are a teacher and you are getting a divorce well, shit happens. Maybe laws have changed though, I suppose they may not be legaly allowed to do that anymore.
Where are these camers to be set up that they would allow the cops to be called BEFORE he made it to the door? Its the error risk that bothers me. And if the guy was a convicted abuser he should have been in jail in the first place.
Up until the point where he pulled out a gun, what had he done wrong?
Substitue "given a signed copy of her divorce papers" for "kidnapped from her classroom at gunpoint " and the cops show up and arrest a guy for no good reason. Care to venture a guess as to what the ratio of former to later is?
Yes, but often times it is who invented it first that gets the market. If you have the first of somthing that works, then you can be first to market and thus first shot at any profits.
Bottom line, thats why they ARE mad that they didnt make it work first.
So your solution is to sell EVERYONE a "defective" recording on the assumption that they will catch folks for stealing? And this is because folks are trading "perfect" recordings for free (which they arent).
What are we going to get discounted from the price, since the new watermarked music will all by definition be "imperfect" in the first place?
Who cares? Its not like the series (LOTR) can be fixed at this late date at all. Saruman is of no consequence, the story is a fucking train wreck, rapped in a clusterfuck, surrounded by a circlejerk. Nice job Mr. Jackson.
He has served his "movie purpose" I suppose. But his purpose in the books is much diffrent. This movie is about the humans winning against the supreme evil...how original.
The books are about the very least of all the peoples of middle earth playing a pivotal role in saving it, and in doing so realize (along with the rest of the races) the true value of their place in it. They learn that they also can no longer rely on wizards to keep the balance.
This isn't The Lord Of The Rings this is "A" Lord Of The Rings.
The problem is that Jackson is doing 3, 3 hour movies, when he should be doing 6, 2-1/2 hour movies. Tolkien broke it down for him and everything. P.J. dont get my cash in the theatres this year. Fuck him.
It's the point of the whole fucking story. You know these arent movie characters, hey are literary characters. You might as well do the movie of Christ and do away with the resurection.
How much longer will you hide behind your AC anonymity? I expect your kids will grow up to be republican dickheads that hide behind loopholes in the system. You know, the ones granted to you under the right to due process, the kind you pay a lawyer for.
Isnt that how the Nazi party got started too? Some great German patriots got together to work within their communities in order to improve their nation.
I figure this will back fire when the first kid has to take 20 grand worth of ass kicking because he wanted to do the RIGHT thing.
You might be able to justify telling about narcotics by saying "I did it because I care about you", but I dont imagine there will be any rehab clinics for MP3 heads to go to rather than taking the punishment.
Its going to be easier to cut class if attendace of the nametag is what you are checking for. No need to go to class, just make sure your friends swap it around so it makes it to all the classes you are supposed to be in.
This will be great when they start doing this in the adult world. Hookie is lots more fun when ya get payed for it.
I was under the impression that boosting the orbit to reach ISS, was out of the question due to fuel limitations. They didnt have enough gas to get there.

That mouse isn't even symmetric!

Just hit google up about "DIY Video Projection".

Yeah, nobody that is a "PDA User" owns a PC.

If you follow that logic to its conclusion, you will see that you end up full of shit.
