It's a cool game and pretty one of the most realistic FPS games I've seen
So, I would have to assume you have real-life experience walking through mazes and shooting stuff before it kills you? After all, how could you determine the level of 'reality' in a game, if you do not have real experience to compare it to? If this is not the case, you are still comparing it to a fantasy of what you beleive real combat to be like.
If it does not happen in the REAL WORLD, it is still a simulation -- a fantasy. Even the best REAL WORLD training is just that -- just another simulation. Be it in the dojo, or basic training, you will not really know what you will do, or what it is really like until the rubber meets the road.
That being said, I'm sure these games are good training tools, but its nothing a few hours in reality can't cure .

Wait, before you comment about the duct tape, this was a temporary setup to see if it would work. The camera will be mounted using velcro when its finished. Next I will have it log tracks from my Garmin GPS V, as well as power my iPod. Eventually I'd like to find a way for it to interconnect with the ECU to do PowerCommander like work ------
I remember this date, because NASA set up a 900 number celebrating the event where you would call and listen to a little talk about how far Pioneer 10 had travled and then you could hear the "beep beep noises" coming from beyond the orbit of Neptune.
My grandmother dialed the number for me (on a rotary dial phone!) and got mad since I listened to it twice, fearing it would charge her twice as much.
This comment is so far down, I'd be surprised if noticed by anyone.
The use of the name "Zen" is intentional. The short battery life, will lead to a blank screen partway through your latest pirated movie, leaving you to only contemplate the emptiness of it all.
I actually used one of those Nikons with the Kodak digital back. Darn thing had a hard drive in it.
Just glad that the Intel Verification Lab payed for it, and I didn't have to.
We also had a color printer that was considered quite the thing in 1993. Would go through 34 inches of color film (8.5 inches of four colors) for every page printed.
My dad had this crappy Kodak webcam that took really decent stills in low light. When it came time to buy a 'real' digital camera, I came -> - this close to buying a Kodak. That being said, it was a great camera, and it was great to have images in our database.
Actually I am pretty ignorant when it comes to all things longhorn, other than its the next "Windows". Boy I remember when the next version of Windows I was playing with at Intel was called "Windows 4" Then "Chicago" then finally "Windows 95" but I digress...
As to why a computer shouldn't utilize a 128 mb card for file navigation? I'll use an old line from Lynx advocacy, "The third world needs to navigate files to!" Give me good old tcsh anyday! Hell give me command.com over explorer!
Back in the day when Netscrape was making noise about Internet Exploder being bundled with windows, Microsoft just integrated Exploder into the interface so that at one point it became "neccesary". So now windows users basicly use a web browser to navigate their files on their own hard drives.
I predict that a future version of windows will integrate sound and video into the interface. Making Media Player the new file-navigator, with animated talking program icons or some such.
So, what will HP call thier branded I-Pod? I supposed they could go with H-POD, but then people might get confused. "H? But H comes before I, is it the older model?" Then I guess there is HP-POD, which could be pronounced "Hip-Pod", but then Steve Jobs would be all, "Waitaminute, Apple is WAY MORE Hip, than HP! OK so we both started in Garages, but I sold my my VAN, to start the company, a VAN, man. And Woz had to sell his Calculator! His Calculator, man, one of those nice Programable HP ones... oh, wait. OK"
Who knew those legal types could produce poetry?
The Legal brief is actually a very fun read.
Plus, you got to give some kudos for a guy that uses the term bogosity.
There was a study in Wired News a while back that basicly said that the real money in spamming is maintaining and selling lists of e-mail addresses to other spammers.
I can understand Intel's desire for this technology. I was working at the Folsom campus when one of my co-workers in the IVL (part of EUCD at the time) decided to see what would happen if he overclocked some spare processors we had around. (They would pass out chips like candy to some of us "Here, see what you can do with these") At the time however remember that the "fast" chips were the 66 Mhz 486 DX2 and 66 Mhz Pentium. The verdict, (which found its way into a memo, then a report...) "Speed Kills". Basicly at that time Overclocking was officially considered "A Bad Thing".
I bet this technology has its origins, somewhere to that memo circa '94 or so.
If there was going to be any clock multipling going on, they wanted it to happen ON CHIP. It was around this time that we got our first prototype for the 100MHZ (25x4) DX4.
I never could get a decent download from kazzaalite.com and those pop-ups really suck too. Ironicly, I found the best way to download Kazaa Lite was to use Kazaa. This also is the best way to get the Kazaa Lite updates. Forget KazaaLite.com, use Kazaa's P2P network to get KazaaLite.

Sure remote-controlled fasteners for cars and such is really nifty...
But wake me up when they get remote-controlled brassiers. You will know its true love when she trusts you with the remote...

Fantastic pun. Endor being the native name of Middle Earth.
You DID know it was a pun, right?

Yeah sure, if spammers made money selling product -- most don't. The money made by spammers is selling e-mail addresses to other spammers.
