Geforce beats Radeon in every game except Unreal Tournament, a game that opens with an Nvidia splash screen that says "the way it's meant to be played".
yea but it does have that annoying fine-powdered regolith, which gets into everything and tends to make things stop working sooner than their expected useable lifetime.
I played GTA:VC at my brother's on his PS2. When the PC version came out, I bought that...
All went well until I got access to an helicopter -- I found it impossible to fly with a keyboard. So I bought a USB adapter for my PS2 controller. Problem is, GTA:VC didnt allow the helicopter controls to be mapped to it.
So I had to borrow my brother's ps2 to finish the game.:(
I don't think that lawyers themselves understand legalese properly.
Why? In the past, I've been asked to translate various contracts and agreements from English to French, and more often than not, when I talked to the alleged writer, s/he was not able to answer the question(s) I had about weird syntax/grammar that made the text basically nonsensical.
And a lot of them asked me to "keep the nonsensical part" in the resulting translation.
Incompetence or deliberate and dishonest obfuscation?
Umm yes. Spammers should have their balls cut off...
yea but the result would be spammers without testicles.
they would still have the ability to spam, and once they're amputated of their scrotum and its contents, they'll no longer be subjectable to having their balls cut off as punishment for spamming.
therefore, your anti-spam solution is not likely to work. try again.
Being part of a sports team can also be a fantasy for some people.
I remember when I was a kid, when we had to divide a big group into two teams, the player choosers would often debate on who should get the last not-so-good kids on their team.
the online game I mostly play is Unreal 2004, and on the discussion boards, people are constantly complaining about lack of teamwork in Onslaught and Assault modes.
And in those game modes teamwork is best but not critical, compared to a team sport like football or hockey.
he was Canadian, actually, and the trial was basically a draw, because Monsanto could not prove the farmer profitted from roundup-ready canola by actually using Roundup on the crops.
I forget the other arguments, but neither Monsanto nor the farmer were fined, although both had to pay their respective lawyers.
Ever since I figured out that you can't make a chicken taste like BBQ by feeding it spices and hot peppers, I thought genetically engineering spicy chicken was a good idea.
Combine that with genes for better feathers, and we'll also get fluffier pillows!
I was reminded of the alien in the Independance Day movie, which is "wearing" what looks like a living outer body shell.
If we could manage to make that concept into reality, it would be great for sending humans in hostile environments, inside living suits genetically engineered to thrive there.
Slashdot Mirror
though I suspect hair metal could have some effect along the same line
We definitely need a ban on Motley Crue and Poison, then.
some news are reporting today that a switch installed backwards could be the reason why the drogue chute didnt deploy.
Really, what other reason does one have for seeking a position in government?
Personal ambition?
Access to young interns willing to do anything to go up the organizational ladder?
Profi^H^HPolitical donations?
would be to embrace the dark side.

I'll only have two days to play it, if I can find a copy on the release date, cuz I'll be travelling on vacation for a whole month...
Damn conflicts of interests.
A true Halo fan wouldn't want to play the damn thing in French for the first time
CTF is sure going to be interesting with two white flags.
I don't know anything about Unix, but it just reinforces my belief that lawyers create the need for lawyers.
Also, I think it would be greatly amusing and useful if lawyers were required to put their name as author for any legal document they write.
I think they wouldn't like it at first, but it would force them to clean up their act.
Gold standard or not, it's not difficult to demonstrate the need for logical writing.

You could write it in Faux-French, like the French in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Douglas Coupland used some Faux-French sparingly in his book Microserfs, for the French female bodybuilder, I think.

You can imagine how those kids felt like.
Demolition Man predicts that Taco Bell will win the Franchise Wars.
I think the poster meant "don't touch that mouse scroll wheel". ;)

i heard they had to cut a marionette blowjob scene to lower the movie rating one notch.
I hope they licence the technology for Hummers, for the ultimate intimidation experience of a giant SUV doing a wheelie on the freeway!

Is is because dog hair makes bad coats, or because they like dogs and would feel revulsion to the idea as a result?
I doubt it's because dog hair makes bad coats, since you can buy wolf fur coats. You do have to have it stored in a freezer during summer though.
(In my hometown, there was a fur store that offered that service.)
Unfortunately, Hemp and Marijuana are not the same thing
They are the same plant, cannabis sativa. You should've said "not the same variety".
caffeinated paper? what for... unless you mean... caffeinated rolling paper?
