No other FPS has given me nausea or headaches before HL2. For me when I pan around quickly on certain levels, it would make me sick to my stomach. I was kinda bummed that I had to stop playing after an hour of play the day I got it.
For me it had to do with a combination of things:
21 inch trinitron
1280X1024 resolution
sitting about 2 feet from the monitor
mouse sensitivity too high
FOV too low
I've been playing FPS games for more than 10 years, and don't suffer from motion sickness, fear or heights, anything afaik.
I'll try the +default_fov 90 trick and see how I react.
" Buy yourself a plane ticket and see how the rest of the world lives."
That's exactly what I'm doing, I'm leaving the country and moving to japan, and i will enjoy my 100 mbit internet connection and the far more advanced technology and intelligent people than the rich and rednecks of america who elected bush.
Ok Mr Wizard (i used to love that show)
What if john carmack decided to launch his h202 rocket from underneath the blimp. Would that have the velocity to take it down?
This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever seen posted on slashdot. Can't believe it is receiving front page attention.
I would agree that the company policy is stupid... but - what a little whining baby! I would never want to have an employee like this guy. Yeah - go quit your job cause you can't use a stupid cell phone....quitter. Sounds to me you've used your cell phone a little too much and your suffering from dementia.
If you setup your personal phone to recieve alerts its your own fault. You should have approached your boss from the beginning and asked for a company cell phone to do it. It shouldn't be a pain in the butt to change your alerts. Don't make a stink out of it. If you have job issues like this take it to your boss not the slashdot community.

how about marketing, customer service, billing, tech support, graphic artists, coders, colocation expense, management, DM/GMs
and don't forget the biggest leeches of them all : executives, VPs and CEOs. Thats probably where 95% of the money goes. Sad isn't it?

probably not, considering only the wealthy benefit from the oil

I used to work for a laptop oem and spilled a cup of coffee on one of our prototype units.
Quickly unplugged power and turned it upside down and let it sit there for 24 hours. Next day, disassembled it, dried everything.
Damn thing ran faster than ever! And smelled like a coffee maker.
riddle me this batman, if I wait a few months are you saying I can backup my 100 gigs of porn on a single disk? i think not.
