the question for me is WHY do homosexuals want to marry?
I don't know where you live and what your laws are, but in both France and Ireland, being a married couple gives you an additional legal status. The couple is no longer two individuals with the same address, but are an entity in regards to certain laws. I couldn't be exhaustive, but among the rights that you have, there would be:
tax breaks: in France at least, you pay less taxes by being a married couple than by being two separate individuals.
inheritance: in case of death in a married couple, the second person still owns everything that the 'couple' entity owned. In the other case, you have to go through inheritance (insert family troubles in here) and that's *if* there is a will. In the case of a sudden accident - with an unmarried couple - the living partner can get ripped of everything his/her partner legally owned.
being considered a relative: when your partner is in a hospital for something serious, not being married can be enough to prevent you from visiting or tending to him/her.
You're right when you say that marriage was a religious thing for long. But nowadays, at least in the countries i know, it's much more than that, it's a different legal status in regards to society and its laws. And i can perfectly understand homosexual couples wanting to be on an equal par in this regard.
The Intellivision controller comes neutral towards the player being left or right handed, as the control disc (which recognizes 16 directions, unlike the later 'crosses' of nintendo) is in the middle of the controller, and the two side buttons are present on both sides. It also comes with a numeric pad on top of the disc, which is designed so that you can insert a game-provided plastic card over it. Hence, games can use up to 12 additional buttons, and provide graphical icons to the player so that he doesn't have to remember which button controls which functionality.
That was back in 1980, and modern console controllers are still far from that...
I'm also getting bored by CAD. It was fun when it dealt with gaming, but it seems to linger now in the boring so-called 'storyline'.
The story involving the xbox robot becoming mad seemed to last for months, and now we have this lame killer-girlfriend thing. Seems Tim's badly in need of inspiration...
it's really hard to start playing again after some really stupid death
Like having your knight die falling from his horse when trying to ride it as his first move in level 1 of the dungeon? Yeah, i hate that too...
photoshop is popular in part because it is one of the most usable products on the planet.
And in a much bigger part because it is one of the most pirated products on the planet. How many of those 'average persons' would accept the price tag if getting it for free was not an option? Hey, i love my Citroen, but if i could get a Ferrari for free, i wouldn't have too many remorses...
This was a story by BILD, the world's largest tabloid newspaper.
I would have given that honorific title to the Sun, but well, that might be just me.
Let's look at some random titles from the front page: "Is Zeta Jones an air head?", "Ian Brown's saucy babes", "Sexpert reveals how to look
great in the buff", "Wayne sent off after crazy taunt at ref".
Yeah, they *definitely* get my vote.:)
And those pirated installs are the main reason why a whole generation will grow up being familiar with Microsoft's OS. And what kind of system do you think this generation will prefer to deal with when they enter the workforce? And what kind of systems will they recommend to their family/neighbours when grown-up?
I'd say that the familiarity games cause to a young generation is *highly* profitable on the long term.
Please accept all my thanks and congratulations for whatever work you might have done on this jewel of a game:)
I've been very disappointed with the console-oriented last one, but the first two are just brilliant. The Dark Project still remains one of my favourite games ever...
Here's hoping to an open sourcing of it in some years, so that clever lads make it on a linux box and preserve it forever...;)
Slashdot Mirror
"If you don't like Blizzard or their rules, don't play their fucking game"
:)
Well, if *you* feel that Slashdot languishes so much, you can also 'not post on this fucking board'.
That's exactly his point.
If only i had mod points...

No innovative controller???

'Grue' is the french for 'crane'.
By the way, do we want to setup a clan to contest at least in the Most Unique Deaths? :)

how much acceleration do you need to maintain body mass?
42?

Blizzard's forums are a wreck, because they refuse to clean them up. If they deleted off-topic posts, flames, and the like[...]
:)
Well, they already started to delete every thread mentioning this "interview". Does that count as a start?
Well, considering how Doom III captures as well the essence of Doom in regards to enemy quantity, i'd say he's just following a trend...
Thanks for the numbers. Now i have to fathom the thought that there might be even worse 'journalism' than the Sun. What a terrible thought...

A Mario DDR game? I'd like to smack the person who thought of that around a few times...
Now, if it was Lara Croft...

Well, you sure aren't terribly familiar with Debian if you believe they only provide x86 packages...
Then play Privateer again with a modern remake.
;)
Same old game, but with modern 3d graphics, and available for linux, mac and windows
As soon as you hit your target RPM you start firing the motor in the opposite direction.
Yeah, that's why i prefer DEB.
And in other news, an unnamed individual in Redmond just registered the domain ihatesteve.jobs
On the other hand, .xxx allows cool slashdot-style names. Just try to pronounce www.dotdotxxxdotdot.xxx :)
I worked on Thief
