"I applaud their effort to distill the FPS down to its most basic elements as well, but the result is an uninteresting mess that I have to work to enjoy."
He applauds their goal but criticizes their success at achieving that goal? That doesn't make sense. Like he said, this game is aimed at people who just like to shoot the crap out of everything in sight. It's great for that.
Plots are for books and movies.
I also question his assessment that the weapons are boring and all the same. I'm guessing he's never fired a real gun. As you'd expect, the AK-47 is powerful but not very accurate; the HK G36 is both; the submachine gun is neither. The sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and and grenade launcher are fun for their special purpose. Maybe he played it on "easy" and never got the first level, and is pissed?
State the preferred URL to your RSS feed at the beginning of your mp3...er, podcast. People are listening to you speak, you can alert them to the problem. Do this for two or three podcasts *before* you tell the 'jacker to stop 'jacking you off, so listeners will still be able to find you.
More proof that a vegan diet interferes with logical thought processes.
Yep. I used to work with Solveig. I think the reviewer may not have realized this book is humor, and damn good humor at that.
For a more serious look at dating for geeks, look at Dating Power Tools, which is a more serious look at helping the helpless male in the dating world.
This is at the root an IE problem, not a Yahoo or Hotmail problem. The press (news.com reported this yesterday) and this GreyMagic, whoever they are, being too kind to IE and Microsoft.
I know that some of you think I'm helping viacom, but I cancelled my Dish service last night. Here's my take - two big corporations can't work it out, and I suffered for it. And paid for the priviledge. Of course they tried to talk me down when I called, but never offered me anything - not a free month, not a package upgrade, nothing. You would think that dish would at least grease the squeaky wheel.
And let's define suffering - I can't watch TV anymore. Big whoop. Dormant brain cells are awakening as I type this. The one show that I'll miss is the Daily Show - which is viacom. And, I refuse to give Viacom my business anymore, so there's no point in having dish or cable if I'm going to boycott Viacom.
because it looks like MIT chose a) the vendor and technology and b) the contractor to do with work with little investigation.
a) Speaks to their inability to even attempt to investigate various options WRT technology. Not encouraging from a place of learning.
b) Speaks to their inability to even attempt to use a neccessary IT project as something that could benefit their students and serve as a learning experience for the school and it's customers (the students).
I expect brainless, off-the-cuff, short-sighted decisions like this from PHB's, not from a center of learning.
I went through tech support hell and didn't have my Inspiron for a month this summer while I first tried to convince some idiot in Bangalore that my ether port was defective, and then tried for 4 weeks to find status. The call people were not only *completely* clueless - and this is also the fault of Dell IT, for not providing good tools for them - but actually pretty rude as a rule.

And that's just during lunch.

This notebook was my first and last Dell product.
