Tomato, tomatoe, it's not that important man, calm down.
ontopic: I wonder if they will find anything interesting, such as a new powersource or new ways of using materials. Maybe I've been reading too much books ^-^
OH NO A MAC ZEALOT WHATEVER SHALL I DO
I'm glad you are enjoying OSX, it looks like a good OS.
I think that whatever happens, SCO will lose the case and will go down in flames:D
Exactly, the end speech Colonel Blair (Hamill) gives at the end of part IV (that's the one you mean) gave me goosebumps.
And McDowell hanging himself in that ending just showed the real cowardice of the character he was playing.
I think that game came as close as you could come to an interactive movie, even letting you choose what to say during talks and happenings outside (shooting aliens/enemies, choosing which wingman with whom to fly) influencing the story and the way your comrades look at you.
I loved Mark Hamill in the Wing Commander series, he did some brilliant acting in there, better than in Star Wars in my opinion (I know, it's not really a fair comparison since Mark had a lot more acting experience during the Wing Commander Series)
The game is supposed to be slow, it gives you the time to think out a strategy to the situation at hand.
Personally (I'm not an elitist or trying to flamebait) I think that strategy/stealth games are for the more intelligent gamers. To each his own I guess.
With a bit of luck, this will come back to bite them in the gonads.
price increases steadily, security holes found repeatedly, consumer's irritation growing until they say "Well you know what Billy boy, up yours, we're switching to linux (or OS X)" I just hope there's a viable simple alternative by then to which the customers can switch.
From what I read from the MGS preview (which was excellent btw), this game is going to be huge, especially with all the new/different ways of fighting the enemies (weapons/martial arts)
I'm REALLY looking forward to it:)
I can understand the need for a good military, but to spend this much money for it.
Personally I think it would be better spent if invested in medical research and to better the relationships with other countries (admit it, a whole big part of the world isn't a big fan of the US, putting it mildly).
I've learned quite some things from playing games, mostly different methods of solving problems, strategic insight and patience.
I think the mistake most developers of edu-tainment make is that they concentrate too much on the educational aspect of the game and don't make it fun enough. Some edu-games I've tried were about as much fun as reading a dictionary and blowing a whistle.
In my games, I want a good story and good gameplay (for me a good example is Knights of the old Republic, the story was great, the gameplay was great and the way of playing was open enough to encourage you to try different solutions to problems and the game doesn't really punish you if you fail, you just get on with it)

Putting the hamster in the microwave, pure genius.

I can't hear a microwave go ping without thinking about that part of Maniac Mansion

I hope there will be something interesting to find down there
"the Eolas patent circus"
:)
They have already sent in the clowns though
I'm not giving up my gills for anyone ;)
I wish we had a moderation called "Funsightful", it would be so appropriate for the parent :)
But to replace women completely you need this machine, a vacuumcleaner (for the blowjobs ofcourse) and a fleshlight.
Do you need nano-tweazers to replace your battery then ??
if this will be succesfull The idea sounds cool though. Maybe even more cool for the porn fans out there :) (You know who you are)

No, to me this more sounds like a preventative measure, to make sure something like the whole SCO debacle doesn't happen again.
It could also provide a more improved structure for linux, but I'm not a programmer, so I don't know what the heck I'm talking about.
heh, company policy etc, standardization. It took a LONG time and some HARD debating to allow me to use Firefox.
I'm just glad that they will develop the Mozilla package next to the firefox/etc packages.
I use the Mozilla package at home and Firefox at work (since I have to use Outlook here).
They haven't let me down yet.
I prefer the name "Star Warts" ;)

Actually I didn' vote in the warmongers, I'm dutch and last time I checked I wasn't allowed to vote in the US election system.

Somehow I don't really trust what Napster is doing now, is it normal for companies to make this kind of information public or not?
The story makes it sound like Napster has something to hide that when known could cause all kinds of trouble for them.
