A more correct example should be: 1. Blue car goes around the road, then parked in a parking spot 2. Red car goes around the road, then parked in a parking spot 3. Yellow car goes around the road, then parked in a parking spot 4. Green car goes around the road, then parked in a parking spot
No matter what order you change them, it doesn't change much of the overall story, as their order is not significant.
I probably shoulnd't argue about Final Fantasy with someone nicknamed "rinoaheartily".
Anyway, it's just the matter of taste. I tried it. Played 44 hours into the game, but not so interested in the storyline. I find the political contents in the story not so interesting to my taste. I might pick up the game again one day when I have nothing to do.
As for the short attention span comment... I finished Dragon Quest 8 in 121 hours at level 43. I'm not hardcore enough to finish the Dragovian Challenge, but I won't call it short attention span either.
Call me old fashion, but I still prefer the Dragon Quest (Dragon Knight) series better.
I played FF12 until level 30-32, and now I feel bored. I find the story is over complex and progresses slowly. Maybe I'm just not so interested in all the politics in the story, and more into old fashion fantasy story. The only thing I love in FF12 is the graphics.
As for the fighting system, as soon as you can master the gambits, fighting is so easy. I can grind while eating, reading books, or playing Nintendo DS. Only the boss fights are challenging (well, some of them were).
A post in whedonesque.com from the link above says:
All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said I had 'closure', what I meant was "I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips." But EW's always got to put some weird negative spin on it. But so we're clear once and for all: If you read a quote saying "I'd love to do more in this 'verse with these actors in any medium" all I'm saying is that Nathan has a turnipy odor. It's not his fault, he doesn't eat a lot of them but everyone else in the cast noticed it and tht's not really something I'm prepared to deal with any more. And Jewel said outright she wouldn't do scenes with him except stuff like the SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER funeral scene which was outside in a high SPOILER wind. So if I do manage to find another incarnation for my beloved creation, it will have been totally against my will.
I hope that clears everything up. Oh, and when I say I want to do a Spike movie, it means I have a bunion on my toe.

Since the website colors his name, I can assume he's the real Joss?
And soon our scientists will say stuffs like...
Wernstrom: "Face it, Farnsworth, you're over the hill. It's time to leave science to the hundred-twenty-year-olds."
Farnsworth: "You young turks think you know everything! I was inventing things when you were barely turning senile."
Wernstrom: "Haha! Go home before you embarrass yourself, old man! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a nap before the ceremonies."
What's weird is Radeon X1800 beats GF7800 in Quake 4 according to this benchmark though X1800 still loses to GF 7800 in other games. So, surprisingly ATI is doing better (than nVidia) in OpenGL in the X1000 series?
There are currently more than 300 HL2 mods listed on moddb.com. Probably half of them won't make it to Beta release, but 150 mods still sound good enough;).
Looking at the package offer details, Valve is also going to release DOD:S, which is now a more popular multiplayer game than TFT.
1. Valve asked Steam users for their hardware specs and more than half a million responded.
Steampowered site says: Unique Samples: 351563

2. Perhaps the most interesting tidbit is that OpenGL beats Direct3D by a healthy margin.
This part is not relevant, since you can play with either Direct3D or OpenGL for the same (or nearly the same) quality for HalfLife 1 and Counterstrike 1.x.
And if I'm not mistaken, OpenGL is the first and default option, so it's not surprising if most people never changed that option.

Matt Damon would make an excellent MacGyver.
But he looked so stupid in that movie "Team America". Hardly can deliver any dialog...You're right, my bad. Dragon Knight was "interesting" too, in it's own way :P.

Regarding the Avivo, according to this article: ATI's Avivo vs. NVIDIA's PureVideo: De-Interlacing Quality Compared, Avivo is still behind nVidia's PureVideo in terms of de-interlacing quality.

ATI and Driverheaven was planning an unofficial support for Linux Radeon drivers. They're now opening a new section in their forum for that.
I agree with the parent. Linux is not something an average (novice) user would use, unless if all of the author's friends are tech savvy people.
I think it will be better to give a Firefox cd instead. It will be more acceptable, and probably more useful too.
Because most of us don't like the [H].
Yea, I wish there's some kind of video/dvd player that has small harddrive where we can install the latest codecs/plugins to.

Most younger people also don't have that much money to spend on software, etc.
If you actually read the article, you'll find out that the person arrested was a British.

Actually improvements have been made to the XPI system in Firefox 0.9+ nightly builds.
Some of them that I can remember on top of my head are:
- Whitelisting, by default update.mozilla.org is added
- Disabled XPI install on page load
