the dumbing down of RPG's like has happened in the strategy world. Real Time Strategy games have overall dumbed down the level of games so as to increase the market share of them. Even calling Everquest a RPG is a stretch but at least it isn't a twitch game where very little thought is needed in order to do well. RPG's are about long term choices you make and involve many, many hours of advancement and choices. Even the 24 hours or so to beat Knights of the Old Republic is a quick RPG.
I'd like to see a nice up to date list distributions that are built around the 2.6 kernel. Trying to update a Mandrake system to 2.6 didn't work for me and these days I don't have the time to track down errors.
Intel has to be very careful right now, for years they have been seen as the innovator in processors. Now AMD got the jump on them and they don't dare not respond, but they have to respond in a way that seems like it was thier choic.
I'm really not too surprised by this cancelation. Unmanned drones can care a weapons payload and do the scouting with out risking any people.
Then throw in the mix at how poor the Apache's did in Iraq this time with several being shot down by small arms fire and you have a platform that has outlived it's use.
Someone has written a series of books on what space would be like with likely technologies. Look for just about anything by Robert L Forward. Not always that greatest story teller because the technology is the focus, but very well grounded in reality overall.
Or to remove your biased spin. These weapons will flot up there without a known enemy, but once a foreign nation or terror organization attacks the US or fails to comply with UN resolutions the threat of these weapons will be stated. If the mere threat doesn't work, then they will be used.
Naturally the world will be a safer place for everyone.
Wow let's make an attack on the President by calling him a name.
While no one can call George W Bush a great president, no one can call him a poor one either. It has been quite some time since we have had a balanced President. Clinton did well on the domestic side of things, but let the foriegn brew into an explosive mess that included 9/11. On the other hand Bush has shown he really doesn't have a clue on domestic issues, but put him in the foriegn field and he stands up for what is right.
Wow reading some of the comments from the Union of Concerned Scientists, I get the impression that they haven't left the lab in 40 years.
While historicaly every empire has falled we can not afford to hasten the fall of the United States of America by failing to maintain a clear technological and military advantage over the rest of the world.
If we don't develop effective space based weapons then someone else will and then we will be at a disadvantage. Nothing like dropping a big rock from orbit onto Washington DC to get your point across.
After taking some High School Russian and having a brand new immigrant teacher for one year, if the game isn't depressing, then they won't like it. The teacher had stood in a line just because it had been so long since she had stood in a long line!
Then look up some of the folk songs, back breaking work is what they sing about.
I thought the Brits already did this with a chunk of metal called Beagle?
LS1Edit is a great program for this!

LS1Edit is awesome for tuning LS1 based motors. Now I know there will be The Faithful who laugh at it because it isn't Open Source. I'm still learning it but I full expect to hit 420RWHP and 400+ RWTQ on 00 Z28 with it. Granted I've got lots of other parts, but for the nerd who loves power you just can't go wrong with tuning your own car via your laptop.
Though I really don't consider it hacking, I'm just changing values in data maps. The real hacking is done by the guy who writes LS1Edit.
Please introduce yourself to 2004! LCD ghosting is a thing of the past with newer displays. I haven't noticed any blurring on my new Dell 20" LCD. I played the FarCry demo at 1024x768 and it was smoot and clear only reason I couldn't play higher was because my ATI Radeon 9500 Pro just couldn't handle it!
Now onto optical mice, they have improved a lot since the early type you are talking about. I have a Logitech MX500 and it is just as quick and accurate as ball mouse I've ever used.
Are you kidding me, no season passes? Season Passes is one of the best if not the best feature Tivo offers. The ability to record a series is vital to a Tivo. With this feature I can record Andromeda, Angel, Modern Marvels without having to daily setup to record if they are on. I would consider any PVR seriously flawed without this feature!
Assmuing you don't read the Honor books as space opera he does have some valid points. But that is like reading a Robert L Forward book and complaing that it is a bad science textbook
I have had verizon wireless for years and I've been waiting for the "Can you hear me now? Good." guy to come around my area so they could improve the coverage. Well with number porting allowed I switched to T-Mobile and now have much better coverage where I need it! I did borrow my sisters T-Mobile phone before so I knew I would get signal.
The process was painless. I called verizon and made sure I wasn't under a contract anymore and then walked into a T-Mobile store. Took a bit of time for them to do the paperwork since it was the first number port that the manager who was helping me had done. A little less then 24 hours later my new Sony Ericsson T-610 phone was working.

"The infidels packets are slaughtering themselves at the ports to our OS"
"There are no exploits against windows, they are all lies from the so called Open Source community"
"We removed the Windows Update site to better serve our loyal followers."

This rates a 5 funny? This should have gotten a -1 pathetic!
