TIE Fighter - first of the top fifty games of all time for PC Gamer 1997. Computer Gaming World's Hall of Fame. Gamespot's greatest games of all time list.
Knights of the Old Republic - Game Developers Choice Awards' game of the year, BAFTA Games Awards' best Xbox game of the year, and Interactive Achievement Awards for best console RPG and best computer RPG. And... game of the year from many sources including IGN, GameSpot, Computer Gaming World, PC Gamer, GMR Magazine, The Game Developers Choice Awards, Xbox Magazine, and G4. Interactive Achievement Awards awarded it for Best Story and Best Character Development. IGN gave KotOR additional awards in Best Sound (Xbox category), Best Story (PC category), Xbox RPG Game of the Year 2003, PC RPG Game of the Year 2003, Xbox Game of the Year 2003, PC Game of the Year 2003, and Overall Game of the Year 2003 across all platforms. In 2007, IGN listed it at #27 on its list of the Top 100 Games of All-Time.
Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords has garnered over thirty-five "Game of the Year" awards. The game received high marks from several reviewers: 8.5/10 from Gamespot, 4.5/5 from Gamespy and 9.3/10 from IGN. Based on 30 professional reviews, Metacritic gave the game an average rating of 85 out of 100.
Republic Commando - has 4/5 stars from GameSpy and 87/100 from Gamespot.
Lego Star Wars, Complete - The feedback from the game was generally positive, though it was not considered a major improvement on the previous two games. Okay, so not so good, but decent scores and the series as a whole is supposed to be good.
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - Not going to detail this one, but it has scores in the low to mid 80's on a scale of 100.
Now I've enjoyed each game I've played from them so I have no gripes and I'm really looking forward to playing the MMO that is on the horizon. If you're complaining that they're not getting the same super inflated scores as other titles then... well, you know how artificial those scores all.
In other words, after experiencing some of the games, books, and movies I think the games are the best part.
When I had my account compromised I talked to their support staff and the matter was resolved in two days, with a preliminary restoration in like 10 hours.
They knew what was going on, and they were very helpful.
Something similar happened to me, eTrust Antivirus (the corporate version my company installs... not that I'm playing WoW on a company laptop you understand) didn't even blink at the trojan.
Now, I'd like a keyfob and I use Antivir and occasional scans from ClamAV.
Actually, if you look at some of the episodes of The Sopranos, they talk about the music industry pre-RIAA and a lot of the strong arming and other tactics that went on.
The difference is that at some point these organizations came together and found that they got less flak if they didn't kill people and just took them to court and ruined their lives. It also turned out to be better for business.
Its just business, if it was less trouble for the Mafia to take people to court, they would. They (as an organization) don't like or want to kill. Dead people don't pay debts very well (see paragraph above).
So, in closing (and to be clear): The only reason the RIAA does not kill people is because it would not make them more money, not because it is morally wrong.
I also live about 20 miles from where the Berkley County plant will be. It is my hope that this improves the quality of jobs (through competition) for the entire Lowcountry.
While it may not be offtopic, if you read how BitTyrant works, it would seem that private sites would want to demand its usage, as it rewards those who are uploading by creating a clique among them, and penalizes those non-uploaders (leechers) trying to "game the system".
Selfish and Tyrant are probably really bad descriptions. It isn't selfish so much as non-promiscuous.
I was born in '83 too. From what I can remember most of my injuries were minor and in all cases but one or two a constant source of amusement for my Father and a source of consternation from my Mother.
Once a folding table, one of the old all wood ones, fell on my wrist and that wasn't so funny.
Another time my dad was teaching me to hit a baseball and I managed to 'foul' it off the bat and into my face. Yup right in the face. Dad thought it was real funny until Mom came barreling out of the house like all of hell's fury. Still pretty funny though...
But these sorts of things build character, both with children and with parents. Eventually that child has to leave the nest... or at least they should. How can they do that when all of their life you've never let them walk out of range of your leash?
They're only a logical fallacy when you do not have no "independent justification of the connection between their terms". Personally, while I have no verification I certainly wouldn't trust EA (Its in the game... that you already own) that far. As a matter of fact, I trust them to push it as far as the consumers put up with. This is just testing the waters.
See here for this:
"Note that these arguments may indeed have validity, but they require some independent justification of the connection between their terms: otherwise the argument (as a logical tool) remains fallacious."
EA wants money, and doesn't like you. Therefore, they will not be content to stop at just your browsing habits. Also, other companies will be less likely to stop as well.
Do you remember when you actually had to go to the office to handle things these systems are used for? Talk to a human? Do you remember a time when they just punched you in the bean bag for trying to quit?
The developers who work overtime to bring such advances should damn near be nominated for saint-hood. Or maybe you could learn to enunciate.
Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts as an organization in 1908, a few months after the first scout encampment at Brownsea Island Scout Camp in 1907.[1] Baden-Powell got the idea from his experiences with the British Army in South Africa.
Wouldn't an emo terrorist want to suicide bomb some people, but then decide that nobody cares and life has no meaning anyway, so then go mope in his parents basement... again?

Basically, airplanes can land just fine by themselves. It is vital that they are able to do so in no visibility situations.
Which ones aren't any good? Those are the only ones I've played or heard about.

o ye of too much faith [in humanity].
But the japanese actually have an infrastructure.

+1 Godwin's Law.

I'm sure that they'll have to come up with some sort of code for "tag".
"Bag you're ib!"
They'll never crack that code.
So its just a bad hack then?

So the Jews hold the power to the world's oil reserves. Shocker.

You shut your damn mouth right now.
Make sure to get the vaccine first.
Let me also add, to my own post:
Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scouts as an organization in 1908, a few months after the first scout encampment at Brownsea Island Scout Camp in 1907.[1] Baden-Powell got the idea from his experiences with the British Army in South Africa.
Emphasis mine.

I think it is safe to say they're not free from military influence.
No, they don't organize it because of insurance. The BSA has no problems with the military or guns.
Are you new here?
That didn't work very well for Con Air, now did it?

Least useful followers ever.
duh. they swear before they notice the symptoms. then they're trapped in a trap of their own making.
Foiled again!
