I haven't noticed any problems either. In fact it used to crash with the old version and it never does now. I am not downgrading. I'll wait for the next patch.
From what I read it didn't mention that it could bend the strings to certain notes. I think that would be very hard to do because you bend the notes at different strengths to reach certain pitches.
Also I would like to see that thing do some Van Halen string tapping. I'll be impressed to see it play "Eruption".
Paid back the R&D costs? Do you have any idea how much it costs to produce a game like Half Life 2? The CD manufacturing costs are nomimal but paying back the programming and overhead costs isn't going to be recouped in selling a couple of boxes. It wouldn't be wrong to assume Half Life 2 has to sell a million copies to break even.
He is a religious conservative and will attempt to replace O'Connor with an Ann-Coulter think-alike.
I have optimism that Bush can come up with somebody better than Ann Coulter. Ann doesn't understand any issues. On talking head shows, she doesn't answer the questions. She just responds with one of the same four jabs at liberals she always does. It was hilarious to see her on the cover of Time as the new face of the right.
Everyone of Ann Coulter's judicial documents would start: "Those elitist liberals..".
That's true. I liked the old Republicans much better than the new ones. I also know that a lot of those same old Republicans are highly irate at Bush's tendency to spend like a drunk Democrat.
According to Dick Cheney, goverment overspending doesn't affect the economy. I guess the message for Republicans changed since the 90's. Its like in George Orwelle's Animal Farm, the pigs come to power telling the sheep:
Really?? They guys running the show couldn't be any farther to the right. There is a reason George Bush senior isn't part of the adminstration. He would be run out as a liberal just like Colin Powell & Christie Todd Whitman.
I think its funny how all these Republicans are running away from George W. They remember the good time in 90's listening to Rush Limbaugh when there wasn't somebody in office trying to actually implement crazy ideas like privitizing social security. Many Republicans rather keep it as an idea and say "only if".
Second, why don't you look a bit more closely at some of the campaign contributions of the Democrats? Let's not throw stones*. The corporations are not stupid, they pay out on *both* sides of the aisle...
(*) Unless, of course, you are a libertarian, and voted as such, then, by all means, throw stones!
If we lived in a perfect libertarian society there would be no need for corporations to give to politicians. We would all be running around in total anarchy fighting each other for food waiting for the "free market" to fix everything.
I agree. Corporations should form a group to stand up against descrimetory anti-corporation behavior. They should stop the corporation hate speech such as "monopoly", "labor unions", and "taxes". They should create a group to look after the interests of corporations.
Oh wait I forgot. They already have an organization called the Republican Party.
As someone who has written integrations with MapInfo, a free alternative would be very popular for geocoding. Even a paid subscription service would sell. The management and updating of local servers costs a lot of money.
Yes, I am sure the researchers are finding faster ways to map the human genome while playing DOOM3 at the same time. It is very important because it is annoying to have your frames per second drop because of some "cure for cancer" crap.
This doesn't really matter to Java detractors. IT types, usually not programmers, will bring up the same old tired clichés.
Somewhere around the year 2000 Java became uncool especially with younger programmers. I guess because it became an institution taught in high schools everywhere. Maybe programmers feel Java is rammed down their throats so they champion less established languages even something by Microsoft.
Java really is the best thing out there for a lot of things. Sun can give away everything and detractors will be like: "OK but what about your first born child?"
There is a big difference between board and video games. New "mainstream" games come out every year. The last mainstream board game introduced was Trivial Pursuit in the 80's. As someone who likes dinner parties with board games finding a new game to play is impossible. I just have to wait for new editions of Trival Pursuit to come out.
Someone should tell board game makers that board games should not be played with a DVD.
Bots are cool in a single player mode. Bots mixed with "real" players kinda stinks. It doesn't give you that thrill to defeat a AI bot. I like the joy of fragging the annoying 13 year old screamer. Sometimes I imagine I am really shooting him in the head.
CounterStrike's bots show up as actual players in the browser. What's up with that?? It's kind of frustrating to join servers to discover you are the only "real" player.

Isn't nested SQL part of the ANSI standard? MySQL is a great database for certain purposes but every other modern database has nested SQL. I don't think an author should not use a technique native to most databases because one database's older versions don't have it.
The film industry used to go against this and release quality "timeless" movies that would hold up for decades and continue to sell, but they've fallen into this trap as well.
When was that? Perhaps it seems like Hollywood used to release quality "timeless" movies because all the bad ones have been forgotten. You can name any time period and I could list movies that really sucked. There has always been "B" movies and there always will be. Even the first full length movie The Birth of a Nation was exploitative and used racism to sell the product.
How do we know that the original flower isn't still extinct? A new flower could have evolved back to look like the extinct flower. There is nothing in the article about testing it with a 70 year old sample.

I know driving around in cool cars in videogames and then getting into my piece of shit car makes me so angry I want to shoot people too.
Only problem is the 2 minutes of talking before the music.

not this social/compassionate conservative crap

Isn't it a little hypocritical to have a trademark, a form of intellectual property, to open source?
I bet the entire article was changed to "frist post".

I have used VBA in Office and it works well. I don't see anything in .NET that would benefit the jobs I needed to do.
Office with a more powerful scripting language would only help out virus writers.
.NET is marketing. Microsoft has applied it to a wide array of technologies. It has come to the point that .NET doesn't really mean anything anymore.
Insects evolve new species every year. Plants would probably evolve just as fast.
A related species could be very similar and only small mutations would make it closely look like the species.
How do we know that the original flower isn't still extinct? A new flower could have evolved back to look like the extinct flower. There is nothing in the article about testing it with a 70 year old sample.
Even if it is a loophole in the laws, it will be quickly plugged with legislation soon. I'll take a million dollar bet on it.
