You're really begging the question: you assume that the age of a particular planet has any bearing on its evolution/culture/language. Whilst a billion year old planet has more time to develop what we could call intelligent life, that doesn't make it any less or more likely.
I didn't like either of them, though the one with the chanadalier and rotating tube (IV?) was still playable. SotN is my favourite, and Aria of Sorrow is a *very* close second. We'll see how Lament plays this weekend, I suppose.
..is that games have gotten far too complex. I remember when Castlevania was a basic adventure game, with crystals and Dracula's claws and holy water and the like. I have thoroughly enjoyed every one I have played, with two exceptions: Castlevania X (IV, the SNES one) and Circle of The Moon. No, I haven't played the 3D N64 games, and I never intended to. They weren't made by the Castlevania core team.
But I'm worried. I'm worried that Lament won't live up to Symphony or Aria. What is a fan to do?
Except, as Orson Scott Card and Doc Smith were apt to point out, alien species would be so alien we wouldn't be able to communicate with them without considerable intelligence and effort.
Actually he/she did. That first entry is problematic because iTunes allows for matching 'all' or 'any' of the rules. The first requirement matched with the second is enough to 'break' the smart playlists right off, either generating 0 songs (all) or generating all songs in the system not aphex twin or autechre. Then again, I can't see the point in such a list. I love both Autechre and Aphex Twin.
Well, it takes dictation now, so you're already half the way there. I doubt the other half though, but I'm just a bit of a skeptic on the whole voice command angle.
(For example, why does Mozilla and iTunes put the Prefs menu under Edit? What the hell does changing options have to do with copy/paste and text editing operations? In Windows, that goes under the Tools menu. They are little things, but they make a big difference.)
Under Mac OS, the preferences go under The application name. And if you don't get the concept in Mozilla of 'Edit preferences' as a mnemonic devices, then you don't think the same way as the developers. To me it's the wrong place for a preferences menu, but I can at least follow their 'logic'
Hence the word if. I think that once Apple gets to OS v10.9, they will see that they have branded so strongly that they can go to 10.10, (the same as 10.1 numerically) or go on to OS 11. I don't know if Mac OS X is a temporary name to celebrate 10 versions of the OS or if it's really the name of the OS. uname -sr returns 'Darwin 6.8', so it's anyone's guess what they are thinking over there at Apple R+D
Actually, I'm having problems with sabolotron and alternate namespaces inside of a file, so i'd rather go xml->rdf xml or xml->xhtml based on user agent.
By alternate namespaces, I mean any root tag with an xmlns declaration in it. sabolotron cannot grab one of these as a root node, and instead takes whatever the default action is in the xsl file. Took me quite a while to find this problem, and it was frustrating to try to work around it.
I use CGI.pm and render on the fly all the time. I do, however dump everything into a series of large strings and only report them at the end, so you may be using cgi.pm differently.
On very nice feature of CGI.pm is that it generates xHTML 1.x Transitional code. Very nice to have.
Is some of the stuff proposed in xHTML 2. I really want to write and serve RDF as my default content type on my site, while transforming it to xHTML for user agents not NetNewsWire / Amphetadesk, but a lot of the fields that RDF uses have some interesting near-equivalents in the next xHTML. Also, I'm really looking forward to object fallback where an video falls back to an image, which falls back to text if need be. Nice stuff, and good for semantics and screen readers.
Yes, considering the fact that the '&' in urls should be a ';', they are a bit behind the times. Perhaps it's time to toss the circa-1996 'CGI Programming Unleashed!' bible and move to something a little more recent.

Also, I never played Harmony of Dissonance. Thanks for the warning (though I did play it on a gba emulator, and it seemed boring)
I didn't like the controls. I didn't like the card system. I didn't like the fact I couldn't see my fucking character on the screen.

Sorry about that; I must have put my contacts in wrong.
You don't put contacts on your fingers, so that can't be the problem
You, sir, have just been bookmarked for future reading thanks to your comment ;) (especially for the game theory page)
Err, no.
-1, "Bzzzzt wrong" post.

Besides, $40 is less than the cost of a new-release video game,
I only buy used video games, you insensitive clod!

Who the FUCK is that guy flipping out in the AP photo? Frightening!
A stroke from the brush does not guarantee art from the bristles.

Except that codec to codec conversions are generally awful. Better to start with AAC/MP3.

I know, DNFTT
If you pronounce OS X as OS 'ecks', then you see where the version number REALLY is. As Apple users, we are actually paying for makjor releases:
Also, people have been paying for new version of Solaris this whole time, so I fail to see new OS X as 'minor' and 'free' releases.
That's Credence, you insensitive clod!

XML + XSLT, some teplate engine..
That's exactly what I do, from content to presentation:
For software, it's Apache / PHP / sabolotron / and movable type to generate the xml
The following helps, too:
Not a bad idea, except it will have an effect felt all over the tech market and may hurt other investors.
