This doesn't necessarily make sense. Why shouldn't we? I think the previous posters comments about studying independant life at early ( or later! ) developmental stages are much better thought out than "cos you shouldn't".
Why do I need a 'right'? I'm arguably a citizen of the Solar System too, and Mars is in my backyard.
I am not even a Christian, but I've also been told that finding life elsewhere in the galaxy would be no indictment of such religious views. Christians have long since given up on viewing the earth as the center of the universe.
I seem to recall an Anglican bishop saying that it would in fact be a comforting confirmation that God loves life and wants to fill the universe with an abundance of it ( and that He didn't leave us all alone ).
Not my views, but those of someone who has given a great deal more thought to it than I have, that's for sure.
Friends do not let other friends play Gauntlet Legends.
Somehow we forgot how bad it was, and caught it in the arcade, on the Dreamcast and later on the Gamecube. Each time we were convinced it couldn't possibly as bad as we remembered.
I seem to recall someone telling me that the OSX E.U.L.A. forbids execution on non-Apple produced hardware anyway. In that case, I think you'd be better off saving your money.
One other thing, if you have the time to read, I would recommend Manga on paper to Anime without hesitation ( although there is some very enjoyable Anime available, such as Cowboy Bebop and the works of Studio Ghibli ). I would suggest Nausicaa, Akira or Lone Wolf And Cub as good places to start.
LWaC is a particularly interesting piece, set in samurai period Japan. It is perhaps the oldest Manga series still in print, and has a richness of artistic style ( no googly eyes ) and period detail which has yet to be surpassed in my eyes. Darkhorse are currently issuing it in pocketbook format, and while it can be expensive, I recommend it.
I've played The Crescent Hawks Inception and the first Mechwarrior to completion,
Please, in the name of all that is holy, tell me which planets I was supposed to kick over in the Star League Cache! I had the map, but I think I was to young to understand what I was doing.
Baboochi(TM) will help teach your children to brush their teeth, clean their room, share with others, and many more important lessons that parents want their kids to learn.
I can't wait for the second edition.
Baboochi(TM) will also help purge you of pernicious body thetans, and raise you on the tone scale!
Seriously though, I'm surprised it's been so long for a Scientology toy to emerge. I mean what about e-meters? You can bang those things together for the price of two soup cans and a galvanometer.

I seem to recall the Armed Forces sourcebook containing a variant marching cadence that ended with:
Treason is the life for me,
computer's now my enemy!
People would blanch as the Sargeant lead them up to this line. Singing it was obviously treason and grounds for termination. Breaking cadence was obviously treason and grounds for termination. Good times.
One thing I really wish I could find was my copy of the R&D Catalogue. The description of the "IT" superweapon remains possibly the funniest piece of game writing I have ever read.
What? You think that everytime someone wants to render HTML in a pane they should have to write a parser + rendering engine + graphics handlers etc from the ground up?
I seem to recall the mechanics to exploit this hole discussed in the virus analysis put around in the wake of MyDoom.A. So unless I'm imagining this, I'm not sure I agree.
Regardless, watching a captured sample of MyDoom.B with Ethereal or similar will show it trying to propagate itself over the top of MyDoom.A, hence giving away any particular magic required.
I'm amazed that someone else hasn't already jumped on this hole. From the analysis I read, you just plonk two bytes down, and then pipe in the executable, and the victim machine runs it. I mean, nmap tied together with netcat would be enough to build an exploiter.
I am more amazed that neither SCO nor Microsoft didn't start tailing their http logs, and firing a disinfector back at hits that match the fingerprint of the ddos thread spool. I know, I know... hackback is bad, but in this case...
If an outsourcer had been given a sample data set, it probably would not have indicated this odd fact.
This is why the spec is important. If the spec says that X's might be used, the outsourcer should deal with that case. If it doesn't, and the CS department still uses them, then they are out of spec.
I dunno. I can't speak for your situation, but I don't have the time or budget to chase things that aren't in the formal document. My job is to implement what's in there, not to read the minds of the end users. If one side or another later remembers something that should be in there but isn't, have a meeting, revise the document. But just adding ad hoc special case after ad hoc special case is just going to drag you down.
Ignore the data. Follow the specification. The data can always be brought to heel later.:-P
The social network is pretty obvious in the way it grows out from there - stanford, google, bay area, computer science, geek schools, other schools, general population.
Sigh, I don't know how to put this in a way that won't look like flamebait, but I thought NGE was really, really bad. Waited and waited and waited for the payoff, and the ending was just... just. I dunno. Dumb. I dunno how they're going to salvage it into something that one, doesn't suck, and two, is palatable to the kind of audiences you need to finance a project like this. I mean, it looked great, but...
If they're going to do a giant robot movie ( admittedly without the monsters ), I think Robotech would have been a shoe-in. And if they wanted a giant robot movie with religious symbolism, I'm told Raxephon (sp?) would have been a better substitute.
Anyway, I hope it's cool. But I've kind of lost faith in the NGE franchise.
Agreed. At university, they always wanted CVS logs to prove that development on certain milestone goals had ceased at the earmarked times. Why bother? Anyone who controls the machines can bend 'reality' as it's recorded on disk anyway they choose. CVS logs are surely not even worth mentioning in a possible copyright dispute, unless they were held by some uninterested third party ( good luck ).
The only thing I'm pissed about regarding the Xbox is Microsoft's decision to discontinue the large-format original US Xbox controller.
Goddamn, I agree. I am also 6'7" and I have a pair of Dukes and a pair of knock-off Controller-S', and I really wish I could have found another two Dukes instead. I find the controller really comfortable, but my flatmates girlfriend ( who is more used to the Gamecube controller ) finds it a bit unwieldy for button-mashing.

No need to play Sam and Max in a dos emulator ( or on a 486 ) - it plays fine in ScummVM.

This is code reuse and it is a good thing.
