I was filled with hope with that movie. I mean, aliens from outer space who have mastered space travel and force fields rely on x86 or powerPC or something we already came up with! w00t!
(of course, it could be their alien über-wine wich runs binaries from anywhere in the galaxy...)
My family and I walked through customs with 6 boxes, *declared*
Aaah, good to know (from 1st hand experience). Last time we sent cubans to my uncle in Chicago (in my nephew's luggage, undeclared) the box got confiscated.
no, into the sealed bag and out to the burnpile.:(
You can't bring Cuban cigars, even if you didn't buy them in Cuba, if you don't have the special permit. You can, however, try to pass them in in your luggage. That is, if you can stomach the image of the customs guys smoking your cigars...
So better count to ten and walk away when you see those beautiful cuban cigars in the duty free shops at the airport in (whatever country that isn't Cuba).
Doom III was a better technology, wich doesn't mean a better game. Doom III was advertisement for id software's real product, wich is 3d game engines.
My original point would be stated plainly as "there are dark movies that suck, there are 'bright' movies that are excellent. 'Darker of the prequels' does NOT guarantee a better movie'".
I will see the movie, of course. And probably enjoy it more than the previous too, if not because it's better just because this time I have no expectations whatsoever:)
Grenades - always available at a button press (not a weapon you switch to) and add lots of strategy, such as bouncing htem around corners, laying them in front of doors enemies are following you through, etc
Vehicles - the way you can just get in and get out at will
I recall seeing stuff like this on Battlefield 1942 before I even heard of Halo.
Wich of those came out first?
That's probably true more because of the increased likelihood of some illicit activity associated with that money rather than simply because it's lost.
Of course(*), but keeping found cash over ${whatever the amount was} still is a crime, as some granny or the other finds out the hard way every now and then (at least when it's in the news it's always about a granny on welfare;)
(*) Those who like to think that the police is guilty of cancer, the ozone layer depletion and the famines in africa also think it is because any quantity under ${whatever the amount was} doesn't split all that well...
In Chile a similar law is in effect, but it affects quantities over I can't remember how much right now.
Meaning the police isn't interested in the US$20 bill you found, but sure as hell is interested in the duffle bag stuffed with US$100's that you found.
"Mr. Fisher" is the main character of the reviewed game, and he must use stealth. So, instead of giving parent poster its deserved +1 funny, you scream your ignorance with -1 offtopic. Oh well...
From my CS engineering degree, of all the graduates, all of the girls were exceptional students and incredibly smart. While, among the men, there were more than one of those types you don't know how they got that diploma, and worry that in the future they will tarnish the school's rep.
Being an 'hostile environment', the ones that come through are usually more motivated than the men.
it feels a bit like the BMW CEO driving a Mercedes.
Yeah, absolutely. Linus not using linux... oh wait, he IS running linux on PPC and you are a fecal fuckstick!
The fact that Linus is running linux on an Apple box does not mean that linux will stop working in x86. Stuff the figurehead thing where you can fit it. And your BMW driving mercedes analogy falls flat on its face, he is running linux. Oh, and what does it matter if he runs OsX, windows, amiga, whatever, if linux still grows as always? He can develop linux with punch cards for all I care...
And why yes, I _do_ live and work in the software industry in a developing nation where few have access to top-notch hardware, thank you!
Why doesn't Apple just ship all iPods with this cable and make everyone happy?
Because the USB2-only cable is way, WAY cheaper than the US$20 firewire-and-usb2 cable you describe. And you don't NEED firewire since every PC and Mac these days has USB ports.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo oooooooooooooooooo................

Oh really? You expect us to believe that you are alive *just* because you posted on slashdot? Ha!
I'm afraid we'll need further proof...

Darker doesn't mean better. As proof, I submit to the jury exhibit A, a copy of id software's "Doom III".
The meaning of "ESCORIA" in spanish is "scum". Probably the same in italian :D
good for you... the lazy fuckers in this country work 0900 to 1400.

and rising a few cents every month.

How much market share does linux have?
Now how much of that tiny share uses XGI or VIA video hardware?
Yep, that hurt.
Their dream is that you can't play or create content without a properly blessed (read: licensed) encoder/decoder...
who buy PowerMac G5's with NO MONITOR and then proceed to hook up whatever satisfies their chromatic fascism.
Maybe holding the release because a sold copy of CherryOS would give PearPC's lawyers ammo for bigger damages?
where's the "+1, hope it's true" mod option when you need it?
Infinity + 1 isn't "Informative", it's "Funny".

Better yet, implement a patch that randomly skews the clock a bit more. Buh bye, telltale clock skew.
