Apparently, neither of these guys had the time to actually google for instructions on how to disassemble a powerbook...
btw, http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/?p=Pismo*00 is a nice place with good pics and step by step instructions for taking Apple Laptops apart... it has already helped me twice this year...
Thats right, it is in the ARTICLE... not from the official site...
now-a-days anything that is online only is talked about in conjunction with the term MMORPG reguardless of the reality of what it is. Read the above post for the exact wording driectly from the Guildwars.com FAQ
They don't actaully bill it as a MMORPG... they are very specific in not calling it that. What they do call it is a Mission Based Online Role Playing Game... the focus is away from the whole "thousands of people all online and communicating with each other" (the last massive online communication I has was mostly done in 13375[]D3ak and was unnecessarily vulger/slanderous)
I'm not sure about whether parent is a troll or a legit question...
Anyway, I don't really know how it stacks up to Wow (I haven't played it) but gameplay is pretty much Diablo in real 3d and it is very pretty if you have the machine to run it at full spec. There is PVP that is fairly addictive as well as a pretty good mode for teaming up and advancing throughout the areas. I'm not sure about the long term addiction, but I'm pretty happy right now with it (played in all but one of the previews)
can I mention how hopefull I am that this business model takes off?
indeed, which is why I preorderd and can't wait until this weekend...
I missed the first preview weekend... ISP was working on something and I didn't have a connection, but I was there for both of the previouse open ones. I hope that this model of pay per update catches on... but I'm skeptical...
they give you a choice durring install? If they do give me a choice, I'm all for it as long as it puts out better games... if not, isn't it illegal (or possible that it will become illegal, I'm unsure of the wording in the bill before congress)
I guess they could always claim that you purchased the product and therefor give consent to load you computer up with adware... Just think, now instead of being bad becasue they pirate software, the pirates will be heroes for weeding out the adware integrated into the games...
I do wonder about if they are just buying it for ingame adverts tho, which is a whole other ball of wax...
A local Brewey here has something called espresso stout... good stuff,just like regular stout, with the pleasant taste of coffee (from a local coffee house btw) at the end of every drink. The best part is, if you get drunk on it, you can keep drinking, but... that is also the worst part... beucoup hangovers...
I used to work with my Father (a mason) and when the brick or block (neither bricks nor blocks is a word) were wet, he often had no printable fingerprints at the end of the day. He found out that this 'could' be mis-construed as a "circumvention device" when he was talking with the local cheif of police. As a test of it's effectivness, they tried to fingerprint him, with only black smudges to show for it.
OT a bit, but the reason that your had was sore, was more likely because you absorbed some of the cement or lye (if you were actauly mixing mortar instead) into your skin which can cause a chemical burn that is fairly irritating and can be lethal if too much gets into your bloodstream.
Cabin Boy... I got a copy of it taped off of HBO, all fuzzy and such, now the tape has wear spots in it... very few people like it, even less love it... David letterman at his best and Chris Elliot even better... I still laugh my ass off over it evey time I watch it...

One of the tag lines used in the adverts is that they award skill of play, not time spent playing (kinda like an online FPS in that respect)

if you don't like them, just turn them off in your profile... that is why the option is there... dumbass...
DUH? shouldn't this be self-evident?
