That would certainly be cool. It certainly make things different. Imagine a skulk that pushes a barrel in front of him to block gun fire or an Onos that smashes threw a unfortified wall.
Unfortunatly with all the work being done to Natural Selection on the old Half-Life engine it may be some time before a port is even considered.
I live in Halifax, our local EB ID's kids all the time. Now most games they just don't bother, however if a title comes along with a particularly high rating they ID.
Its not to trample your rights, or to parent the kids. Its simply a courtasy to the parents. I'm a very involved parent. I enjoy a close relationship with all my kids. I view these rating systems as a way of actually talking with them. (Imagine that) If they want to go to a R rated movie, or get a game like Soldier of Fortune we usually get it. I tell him WHY the bloody thing is rated like that and WHY the folks at the store check for ID's.
Kids will get these games regardless of any rating system or parental involvement. The rating system is just another opportunity for parents to be involved with their kids.
I'd have to agree. Canadian roads are often in ill repair due to the harsh winters and temperature extremes. If there is a crack for ice to form in, these things would be toast in a couple of years.
I'v had success at ridding most things from my XP install using XPlite. I have no help files, no IE, and most of the memory resident programs have been nuked.
Well, i'll be honest. I'm not a huge Linux fan. I'm not a computer geek. I'm just an average joe that likes to pudder around with his PC. That said, I am forever in debt to slashdot for showing me Knoppix. That CD has saved my bacon so many times. These LIVE CD's are gift to all us computer amatures. When we need to correct/save something we just screwed up, it offers a stable way to make the changes.
What type of media a game is recorded on is a product of the publisher. Black Isle had a history of making DVD versions of bioware games, however they had a fallout.
I for one would love it if Atari made a DVD version of NWN.
(The filters RCOM use are Spamhause and the filters of the company called Critical Path.)
Spamhause is pretty snazzy and a number of articles can be found about them here at Slashdot.
I used to work for Register.com. They sell domains to people that have less computer knowledge then your average AOL user. Once people have a clue about domains they tend to shift to other Registrars.
Register.com domains are costly because of the support given. Guys that don't even realize what a domain is or how it is used tend to be the client base for RCOM.
As for the issue with the coming soon page I think the fella was doing a money grab.

No problems so far.

I rather enjoyed Mortal Kombat.
Fighting movies don't usually have strong scripts to begin with.
