Maybe you're not getting it.
Maybe you're an idiot.
Either way, I'll try and explaining this again.
The saying is intended to express that it's easier to catch up than stay in front. So when you're int eh lead you need to bust ass to stay there. The inverse, is that when you're behind to keep on trucking because you ultimately have the advantage.
But like I said, you're likely a simple man, so you probably won't get this either.
They are so far ahead f the pack right ow, I bet they could jsut write more story and put it out and still sell like hot cakes. maybe even while writing more story they could do more engine tweaks or whatever to stay ahead of the market.
The ending to HL2 left me thinking that if there isn't some more to this game soon, like a HL3, I'm going to have to back hand some bitches over there at Valve.
You must very obviously have never been in front of a race of any sort.
It's a very old, very true, very well known saying used by anyone who races anything. The person in persuit has the advantage. The person in back has a highler level of motivation. it's a lot easier to catch someone, than stay in front of someone.
What about corporate situations where user's data files are getting bigger and grander, and file servers can't keep up? You could have users store their data seamlessly on other users machines, in the unused space.
Problem being that people tend to shut down or reboot at inopportune times. Also, relying on consumer hardware for important data would be a bad idea.
Not very well thought out, but i still think there is an idea in there somewhere.
Same reason that resteraunt owners eat at other people's resteraunts from time to time. Knowing what is on the menu, and eating the food are entirely different things.
Browsers come and go, but firefox is making a serious impact here.
I was flipping channels, and saw some news show (damn if I can remember which one) was talking about it briefly. Something like a open source browser being TV worthy is something.
Heck, even a lot of the non-geeks at my work have heard through the grape vine that Firefox is the way to go. They are installing it, and loving it, and spreading the word.

I do a reasonable amount of gaming on my IBM T30 all the time. When i wnt it secure, I can lock it away easily too.
I never let her touch the FreeBSD box, so we'll never know. :)
yeah, who needs graphics anyways? :)
Problem solved, don't use anything but Windowmaker, and don't use a file manager. :)
I'd be impressed if my girlfriend managed to figure out a unix machine enough to browse directories. :)
You keep things on yoru desktop? EEEWWWW!!!! :P
I viewed the first page, then by the second page it was broken. So I guess I broke it.
**Hangs his head in shame**
That's nearly exactly what i said in another post.
:)
great minds, er something eh?
Now I won't have those annoying stutters on the rest of my second pass through HL2.

Hehehehe.
:P
The stuttering builds character!
I fully agree.
I feel i was cheated some how, as the game was so short. I remember the first game taking me weeks to finish.
This is almost the same feeling I had when i beat Opposing Forces in a couple days.

Who says it has to be a guy anyways?
In any race, the advantage is to the persuer.
They see some competition, so they are getting a move on.
So, I wouldn't say nervous, I'd say 'called to action'.
I know a number of people who have switched to FireFox because of word-of-mouth. Normal, every day, mac users.
Doubtfull.
Thanks.
I don't know if I just missed it or what, but I never caught that little tidbit.
The rocket gets it up to speed, and the scramjet just maintains? Or is the vessel doing any of it's own acceleration?
There is a good idea there.

IRC, my friend, IRC is what you want.
If you need to talk to your friends who use IM programs, use Bitlbee.
See the light, walk towards the light, feel the warmth of the geekness.

Of course, you were only trolling.
