online, indexed doc is a nice addition but I still prefer the dead tree in my hands for the train ride. The down-side to printed doc is the speed at which it is outdated. Smart paper with an upload system is the best option, as the e-book licensing SUX:(
"Get a clue Monkey-Boy. Pretty much nobody who owns a console likes FPS-type games on the PC when we were buying games for the PC. In fact most of us depise them. Halo is a pile of shit just like all FPS's. Pretty much the only people who praise it or even have anything nice to say about are PC gamers like you."
Oooo boy what a snappy comeback.....Perhaps if your mom wasn't smoking crack while shitting you out her colon you'd have the motor skills to play a fps, but don't worry the world needs more moron consumers and you fit the bill well.
As for FPS on console, NOLF sold a hell of a lot of copies, there must be some slightly more intelligent co-ordinated console players out there than you...
when has a corp EVER given money back ? It won't happen that way, some folks bill will get jacked and everyone elses will stay the same. Then next year they'll jack everyone again to pay for infrastructure expansion so they can gear up for video on demand....which of course is the highest bandwidth user I can think of. While there may be some valid point to this, the cable company should have thought of this before advertising unlimited service and always on connections...
from 1998..any follow up of results from a judgement? All I see is one company saying another is hurting our business..But either way more info is good so thanks:)
PC games still look better, play better and have better control sets. I will admit that a console is a maintainence free gaming platform but the games are FAR from better. Locked isometric views, slow response time on controls... Name ONE console FPS that ANYONE can compete against a PC version in head to head ?? Maybe someday but my G-Force 3 with user setable resolutions looks better than any ZZzzzzzBox game, and the PS2 can't begin to touch it...
Note : Halo does look delicious:) but I'll bet the PC version will play better...
"There is no possible reason to ever kill another human being."...
sorry I disagree, as a former service man, and retired police officer I can think of many VALID reasons to kill another human being. Luckily I've never had to do it, but I feel fully prepared to shoot to protect someone else. I also feel capable of regreting such a decision but still making it...
I agree wholeheartedly. This web site is full of people spouting about how to change things, but when it comes to speaknig with $$'s most folks can't bear a wee bit of inconvenience, so any sort of moral stand goes right out the window. I refuse to buy from Amazon, simple. Borders, Barnes&Nobels, Half priced books all get my business weekly but Amazon gets nothing from me.
Nothing really, it is a conglomeration of some good things from many sources, but there is NOTHING NEW in the game. Not that that makes it a bad game, I really liked the variety of sniper rifles in the single player. I've not played the multi player yet so I could not comment.
And for the bank AC, mouse look, online play, and half way decent AI, though there is still MUCH room for improvement in RtCW. The holes in the AI show up at extreme range. They will just stand there and watch their buddy take a sniper round to the skull, without reacting in any way. Beyond that the game was a bit steep on the $$'s side but 10 hours of fun.
Compaq's desktops are FAR better than HP's. Even Compaq sff business line the EVO is superior to anything HP has offered in 2 years. Even HP printers have gone down hill. I recommended Lexmarks here at work because of price, support and print quality. HP's mid range line was nice but it has been a while since I worked on one.
I agree with you on the sales issue though.
If said company released all their catalogue on giant wax cylinders and then claimed they would play in some CD players I think you might still have a point. This issue is not the companies right to screw up their own product, that is acknowledged, it is the companies' ability to try and hide the incompatabilities from the consumer.
BINGO, look back in US history...Who OWNED the Tea that went into Boston Harbor...Not the King, it was a chartered company (read corporation) that was abusing its' protected position.
not always true. Several cases have stated that the air waves are free. That might shift the burden to the party making the content available on the 'new' medium. Personally I think it is all horseshit but there is a legal issue, for the leeches...err Lawyers
When God spoke to him last night he said it was ok to use any part of the collective works to be known as "the Bible" in any manner that was consistent with the spirit of the work. Final arbitration should be referred to J. Christ & Assoc.
Does anyone make after market controller's ? I had the same problem with the N64. My mother really liked Zelda but the controllers were wrong for her hands. I couldn't find any aftermarket controllers at all:(
I've seen Halo and Gotham racing...both looked sweet but that isn't nearly enough to make me want to buy one. The only thing I get from that is the feeling that M$ missed the boat when limiting Halo to Xbox. I am a dedicated gamer on a PC platform. I've got all the goodies, racing wheel, flight yoke and pedals, 64 mb GF3 card, and a really nice 24" monitor. I just can't see limiting myself to any console...
the movie of by sacrificing JAR-JAR to some heinously evil force...Man that would have been good:) Philip K Dick could have done justice to the plot as well...
the pseudo-anagram method is the best. Think up a sentence or phrase and use the letters in an order than makes sense to you.
I really like 2 eat pizza on Fridays. Irl2epoF.
The addition of nyumerics and punctuation GREATLY increases the complexity and time required to brute force a password.
Is your job as a sysadmin to ENFORCE password standards. What it comes down to is, WHO is gonna be held responsible if the system security is compromised ?? Joe (L)user or the sysadmin. I use a dictionary check and run John the ripper on the shadow file regularly. ANY passowrds I crack get locked out and the user gets a note. When I receive a note from their manager I reset the password to a random lower/upper alpha-numeric and unlock it for their use. Friends in the user group it does not net me, but a secure system and excellent audit results it DOES get me
Umm on what grounds ? Since when did the possession of cash become a crime ? I have close to half of that in cash in a fire proof safe in my residence. Feel free to go and try to get a warrant for that...
Unless this chip is implanted deep in he body at birth they will be removed, shorted, hacked in a matter of days...The thing to watch is when they start offering to parents to ensure the safety of the kids.... Those in jail are gonna get it, no question.
I seem to recall reading about a stabbing in a public net-cafe in Korea over a PK in bloodrite.
I could be wrong as I couldn't find anything on it to back it up.

the dark side Mods are awesome, possibly BETTER than the original.

be huge farms owned by Corporations that payed little or no taxes, while deriving huge benefits from government handouts.

Just disconnect AOL from the rest of the internet. We won't miss them, and I doubt 1 in 100, stellar AOL customers would even notice the difference.
