I've always felt that the solution to SWG is to make it Jedi vs. Sith. That way everyone has a lightsaber and no need for guns. Your lightsaber can be endowed with special powers and such. Your class and skills will vary by the way you can interact with the Force.
"The Force" is very broad and not fully detailed which leaves room for a lot of creativity and latitude in game design.
Okay... backwards compared to an OS that insists that you put your disks in the trash (the place you put things when you want them deleted) in order to eject them... I think it's safer to say that both OS's have shortcomings, not that one is "backwards."
When you click and drag the disk, the trash icon changes to an eject icon. Oh, and ejecting a disk in windows is easier? Find the little taskbar icon, right click, select the disk, then hit a few more buttons and wait for it to confirm that it's ok to remove the disk.
I find the Windows way of doing things much more fool-proof.
Umm... yeah... what's so hard about changing those settings back? Just cuz it doesn't have an OK button doesn't mean you'll screw your system.
Everything I've ever installed on Mac OSX has involved an installer except for a tiny few homebrew applications
Conversely, most everything I've ever installed on Mac OSX has involved dragging the file from the image to my applications folder. Yes, drivers and programs that require kernel extensions require installers, but don't blame OS X because those vendors didn't include an uninstaller.
Is there a way in OSX to make it so that every, say, GIF image opens in a particular program?
Of course there is! Highlight your GIF, press Apple-I and in the info dialog there's an area to set what program to use. You can also Ctrl-click (right-click) and select open with, which has a nice dialog to choose which app and whether or not to always use it to open files of that type.
I really don't care what OS people use as long as it fits your needs. I have a problem with snooty people who think their choice of OS is superior based on insignificant arguments like ejecting a disk, an OK button and file associations. What about real issues like stability, performance, and productivity? I happen to get all three on both OSX and WinXP because I only use a particular system's strengths, for example, not using Windows for video work and not using OSX for games.
ASP.NET does not use, rely or require the client to have the.net framework installed, but the client side scripting code (DHTML, Javascript, CSS) used for form validation is very IE specific. Use any of the validators and they will fail in non-IE browsers.
Fortunately, there are DOM-compliant validators available which work very well. The code changes can be minimal, some even have apps that do a mass update on any MS-specific validator. Plus, they extend functionality and provide features not found in the MS validators.
In Gludio last night there were 3 or 4 large monsters that were spawning in town. About 20-30 players were attacking them at once. I forget the name of the monsters but they looked like larger versions of the Bugbears, I recall their name had some possessive in it... like so-and-so's something or other.
The rumor I heard about the undead army was that they were going to destroy areas to make room for C2.

Yeah, ask O.J. how that turned out.
Just received my bill and I have a $93.42 charge for using 6,228 KB of ROAM GPRS for being in Toronto for a night.
