I'm switching my DSL provider now, and meanwhile had to go back to dial up. I think that 56k dialup is more than enough for average people(less spam they can send). What really sucks for me is that if I leave my dial up connection on 24/7, my monthly bill would be really *huge*. I remember the last month before I got DSL, I had about 60 hours online and paid almost 100$. DSL around here is quite expansive IMO but much better, for example 512/128 costs ~45$.
radarguided laser mosquito trap? Oh thats nothing. My mosquito/fly trap: use the radar to detect the sector in which movement occurs, turn IR cameras in that direction and use them to get the exact position of the fly/mosquito. Now the biggest difference: I'd use low caliber, high RPM, pneumatic-powered Gatling gun. Sure it's not as cool as using lasers, but still provides a good challenge for precise calculations and movement prediction. Bullets could be easily molten and recycled.
Maybe not in the US, but when I visited Ukraine there were such cafes every hundred meters or so and they were completely packed, I had to wait about 10 minutes to check my mail. This was almost 2 years ago.
Same here, 2.6Ghz, 512 ram and radeon 9600pro. I get about 20 fps in the first room, and then it crawls down to 12-13 in the room with many columns, just after you pick up the grenade launcher or something.
I had my 15" LCD for about five years now, but a window knocked it on something on my table, and that was fatal. The colors were not as good as on new LCDs, otherwise I had no problems with it.
I can't RTFA, but from the article summary it is a regular Prescott, not ExtremeEdition. IIRC, "E" stands for Prescott, "C" would be for Northwood core.
Well I was born in Kiev and my 18th birthday is this Thursday. Yes, it had impact on my life, but of course I'm not old enough to remember anything. We (my family) moved to our relatives in another country and stayed there for a few years. Anyway, I don't see anything bad or wrong with the game, I'll buy it (or d/l if I get my DSL back;) and play without any hesitation or bad feelings. The press trip is also IMHO ok, maybe somewhat strange because it could be dangerous. Just keep in mind that this is my personal opinion and some might disagree.
No, not sharing. recording media for the private use of the person who makes the copy this means you can burn your CD as many times as you want, but you can't sell it or burn it for somebody else.
As the other poster mentioned, car charges should solve the problem when *driving*, but the other useful possibility would be to hide the pda within the range of the network and leave it there sniffing for interesting packets, then just collect it a few days later.
You can! There is a Sony external combo drive: burns cds, reads dvds, and plays mp3! Yes it is quite expansive and bulky compared to a regular walkman, but is the only one I know that reads dvds+mp3. here is a review
Well there is at least UT, where the flack cannon shots would bounce off walls and other stuff. I know it's not realistic, but the idea is there: shooting walls to kill players behind crates or camping somewhere.

I played vietcong, and this is what happens there. Of course the hearing is not lost permanently, but its there.

Ahrr, you were faster. I was going to karma whore and say something that would get me moded up. Nevermind.
Your calculations are obsolete.
Recount with 8.5Gb for dobule layer dvds.
Yeah and what about pi? 3.141 is not accurate enough! See this post.

It doesn't happen to smart win users either ;)

Really, check your GPU fan, because mine is much noisier than my CPU, at least when idle. ;)
PS. I don't have one of those monster GF-FX
Buy this shirt, take that job and you'll be ok!

Oh come on! They obviously didn't play this game!

I guess such large drives aren't yet available. Creative however makes a 60gb Zen.

You could buy a PCI USB 2.0/firewire card for about $15
I'm sorry Micheal, I'm afraid I can't do that.
The author probably meant THAT, not this object. THAT - the one which is on our way to destruction :)

That's the point, it wasn't on earth!
Here? Up to 2 160GB 7200rpm drives, optionally in a RAID setup! Other laptops also can have 2 drives, but I couldn't find one with RAID.
