Daniel's plan was originally to make it look like a murder-suicide, by leaving the gun in his father's hand. After the shooting, Mark Petric said his son put the gun in his hand while saying, "Hey Dad, here's your gun. Take it."
Well there go the theories about him not thinking his parents would be permanently dead. I mean what would happen to the murder-suicide plan once the parents respawned?
And U.S. iPhones aren't made to work with providers outside of AT&T. I'm really talking about the owners hacking their own vehicles to gain manual control.
However the article states that the implants were inserted two weeks before the cancer cells. Would it have worked if the cancer cells had been injected first? Otherwise this is not a cure but a vaccine - pretty useless for someone who already has cancer.
Hmm, I wonder how that could be done..... I mean shooting nukes at the sun is like tossing matches into an erupting volcano, so we will require something new. Oh where is the Sun Crusher when you need one?
Because the U.S. government is, by design I believe, very slow to get things done. It takes claims of National Security to push through a bullshit bill. Anything else, no matter how much money the corporations throw at it, takes a while. But it gets there eventually, just wait.
But since that hasn't happen, you'll just have to live with Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, which has even more similarity to MoM than the first two games in the series.
I dunno, I just beat PoP: Sands of Time, and I thought that handling of death was fantastic. You control the rewinding of time, but only up to a point. Once you're out of sand, it's back to the checkpoint. Plus you can rewind if you take a particularly bad hit, even if it's not fatal. How is the new way better?
In The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat there was a woman (IIRC) who had brain damage and could not conciously perceive objects in one part of the visual field, but could easily interact with them. As in when asked "Is there a ball on the table" she would say "No.", but when asked to pick up the ball on the table, she'd reach directly for it and pick it up without feeling around. Or something like that, it's been a while since I read the book in high school.
Ah, so your mistake was using a 30" monitor for gaming. Do you sit like 4 feet away from it, or do you need to turn your head to see the other side of the screen?
I agree. I spent $1000 on a new PC a year ago, and have been having a great time playing the Orange Box games, Titan Quest, and the even the great Prince of Persia Sands of Time port. I have Bioshock, which I got for $9.99 on Black Friday, sitting in the sidelines until I decide to risk installing the Securom crapware (and that's more a strike against the publisher than PC gaming.) So I can't run Crysis in Ultra High Detail, big deal.
Seems like the placebo effect of acupuncture outweighed the placebo+drug effect of traditional painkillers. Seems the painkillers are the real scam here.
Last year I spent half a day trying to get ET to work, to even join a single server. After hours of attempts to download whatever versions of mods, extra files, etc that every server seemed to require, I gave up and installed Alien Arena instead.
I think Lost has had some pretty good depictions of torture. Sometimes it gets results, sometimes you torture the wrong guy, and even if you get the right guy they can still lie through their teeth no matter what you do.

Given all the myriad ways that children could be hurt and abused, I think the approach that makes most sense is to ban children.

I was under the impression that Nethack was one of the faster rogue-likes.... What were you doing for a whole year?
What about the power of love of power?

I prefer the sci-fi version (won't spoil the source since it's an awesome story.)
1. God creates Universe.
2. Universe evolves Man.
3. Man creates computer.
4. Universe dies.
5. Computer becomes God.
Goto 1.

I bet given enough time, we'll come up with a technical solution to this "death" problem.
Hmm, I wonder how that could be done..... I mean shooting nukes at the sun is like tossing matches into an erupting volcano, so we will require something new. Oh where is the Sun Crusher when you need one?
And these "Fully programmed" vehicles will be hackerproof so no one can set it to manual?
Just wait until you hear of his pick for the next available Supreme Court Justice spot (hint: it rhymes with Back Rompson).

Now there's a remake I'd pay money for. Too bad so few people have heard of it.

In these days of LCDs, it needs to support dynamic resolutions from 1024x768 to 2560x1600....

That looks like it may only disable autoplay for CD/DVD drives. Does it also work for USB drives?

Try playing it at 2560x1600.
Maybe that's your mistake right there.
Crysis does not require more than one gfx card. You can play it just fine with a single 8800GT as long as you keep to Medium-High Detail with 2xAA.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (great role-based strategic shooter, inexplicably free)
