Have you ever noticed that (white) westerners never seem to go and call their kids jesus, but every third moslem you meet is named mohammed? In some moslem cultures it's pretty much the rules that your first born son be named mohammed.
Jesus is not a rare name among Hispanics.
Also, the name Joshua is common in the US. Both "Jesus" and "Joshua" are variants of the name "Yeshua", though many people don't know that.
Come on now! The Force lets you feel all sorts of things. If Luke has enough Force power to see a few dead guys, surely he can sense "Hey, that's my dad!":D The past has nothing to do with it.
I think you're on to it. When Luke sees or hears Ben, Yoda or Anakin, I don't think he actually sees or hears them. He senses them in some psychic way. The images and sounds are in the films to let the audience understand what is happening.
So we shouldn't wonder whether Luke saw Anakin as old or young. There's no actual appearance. The only question is which actor should represent the spirit of Anakin.
You can make no more than 50 bux (not minusing the cost of your goods), plus you have to pay the clerk for 5 hours. Might as well just close the shop and save the trouble!
Every so often, you take the excess money in the register and drop it into the safe through a slot. Often the guy working at night doesn't have the safe combination, or the safe will only open during certain times.
I suspect what he means is the results of certain key combos are 'weird' to non-Mac users. For example, 'Home' and 'End' in most PC environments takes the cursor to the beginning and end of the current line, whereas under MacOS they take the cursor to the beginning and end of the entire document.
On the Mac the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys scroll up and down, but they don't move the insertion point (the cursor). In most text-editing applications, combining the Command key with the arrow keys will move the insertion point to the beginning or end of the line or document.
iTunes allows you to burn iTunes Music Store songs to CDs as often as you like, so decrypting the AirPort Express stream doesn't give you anything you can't already get. The only thing Apple's DRM does is prevent you from playing the AAC compressed file on an unlimited number of machines. You could, of course, make a compressed audio file (with AAC or another codec) from the burned CD or AirPort Express stream, but recompressing a lossily compressed file usual hurts the quality.
There's no need to use C++ to write a video game. I'd look at a higher-level programming language like Python, or an environment like Flash. Most games use a combination of C++ and a high-level scripting language. You could write a mod for a FPS (e.g. Quake III or Unreal Tournament) or a RPG (Neverwinter Nights, maybe). Does anyone else have suggestions?
I had to deal with the same shit when I worked at a supermarket. However, it wasn't Y2000. Twice, the computer that ran the cash registers had a hardware failure. So the management used the brilliant tactic of handing out markers to the customers so they could write the price on the barcoded items. Then people would naturally forget, so we'd have to run endless price checks.
There have been other deaths in the US during foreign wars. In 1916, a raid by Pancho Villa on Columbus, New Mexico, killed 18 Americans. In the Mexican-American War, there were American deaths in Texas.
Remember that the ship featured in Star Trek I, II and III is the same ship as the one in the original series, extensively renovated. The 1701-A is the ship that was introduced at the end of IV, and featured in V and VI.
According to the FBI's Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted report, in the 10-year span 1993-2002, 13 Maryland officers were feloniously killed and 16 were killed accidently. I haven't looked to see how many of these were in Baltimore, but for the year 2002, three of the six deaths were in Baltimore.
In the article, one guy said he owned 16 versions of Pac-Man. I'm nowhere close to that, but I do own five versions, plus two pirated versions. I have the Jakks TV Game, adaptations for the Atari 5200 and Atari 800, and Namco Museum for PlayStation and PlayStation 2. On my computer, I have a copy of the arcade ROM (for use in MAME), and a copy of the Atari 2600 version (ugh). I also have Namco Museum for the Game Boy Advance, but that has Ms. Pac-Man instead.
I actually don't have an Atari 5200. I found some carts at a thrift shop, so I bought them, figuring that I'll someday buy a system.
This is different from C++ where new evaluates to NULL to indicate failure.
This is true in old C++, but is wrong in standard C++. In standard C++, if the memory can't be allocated, then the expression throws std::bad_alloc. If you want it to return NULL if it can't allocate the memory, then use nothrow.
I have the Namco model. Be aware that the games are ports, not emulations. The machine might be a NES clone, since there are all-in-one units that contain a collection of NES games, and the games look like NES games.
Also, the Bosconian port is deeply flawed; the joystick only goes in 4 directions instead of eight, and the fire button has to be pressed for each shot, instead of firing continuously when held down. I was hoping that the game would actually contain hardware similar to the original machines, but that would probably cost much more than twenty bucks.
Also, these games are available in places like Toys 'R Us and Circuit City, so you don't have to go to Wal-Mart or mail order. The manufacture is Jakks Pacific.
I don't know about a logarithmic scale, but high dynamic range images, like those stored in the OpenEXR format, often use 16- or 32-bit floating point.

I found this copy on Google:

He doesn't even include all of the suicide bombings in Israel. Those are all obviously inspired by Rockstar North's earlier game, Lemmings. ("Oh no!")
Actually, TIE Fighter was ported to the Mac. The last two games in the series were not ported.
I drew my own world map for Ultima IV. It filled twenty pages of graph paper.

That reminds me of a Futurama episode. In the lunar amusement park, there's a ride that shows a 20th century auto factory with "primitive robots".
Why couldn't you say, "I'm looking for a book called 'Sex in the Snow.'"
They don't want to use the letters I, O, and Z because they are too easy to confuse with the numerals 1, 0 and 2.

That was Universe 420.

Perhaps you're thinking about Ridge Racer, whose loading sequence contains a miniature Galaxian game.

The PlayStation was introduced in 1995 and the PS2 came out in 2000. That's five years, not ten.
