He's not kidding. It ruined the story of the game completely. Also, while you're dodging missiles, wave after endless wave of enemies coming pouring down from the roof of the building to assail you. But luckily they're so horrible that killing them is only a distraction, they're definitive mooks. The only way I've beat it is co-op, with both players carrying heavy machine guns (yes, I realize how awful that is).
But other than that, it's not a terrible game. Multiplayer is great.
The storage provided by the manufacturer is SSD (three of them, in RAID) and is submerged, but they have bays for removable drives you might want to add on your own. Also, in response to your comment about resetting the CMOS, they have a button that does that on the case (behind a little plastic door so you don't accidentally hit it).

If you have the Greasemonkey Firefox extension installed, or use Opera userscripts, you can install this script to remove Idle stories from the/. front page.
What's funny to me is that, in the U.S., this is also considered a right by law. In fact, the most basic assumption of our law is that you have all rights unless they're explicitly forbidden to you. So I do have the right to buy a computer not bundled with Windows XP. And I have the right to buy a computer drizzled in chocolate syrup (should anyone decide to sell one). And I have the right to buy any number of plants (except those expressly forbidden by law). If I buy something, and determine that what I purchased wasn't what I really paid for, I have the right to demand a refund. And the company has a right to refuse. Then I have the right to take them to court. If our court system works for me, then I get the same result found here.
A lot of U.S. citizens don't seem to understand the basic concept of how our law is supposed to work.
At the speed of sound? That's relatively slow, don't you think? Wouldn't that mean that there should be an observable compression effect in the stick if you recorded the action on a high speed camera? I guess I could see that happening in s pliant material such as wood. But what if we record the movement of a much more rigid object, such as a steel or carbon rod? Could the force of me thrusting a steel rod really cause a wave of material compression to ripple along its length?
I'm fascinated. I'm sure this has been studied, but I can't even think what to call it in order to look for more information.
I have a present for you, I've written a greasemonkey script that removes Roland Piquepaille articles from Slashdot. It could probably be used as an Opera userscript, as well, if you don't use Firefox. The first block of code removes section styles, so you don't have to deal with those awful color schemes. But you can just clip that part out if it's not your style.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but my impression is that this is a keylogger which works in the following fashion:
You have, for one reason or another, a constant stream of data outbound from your pc. When you press the "q" key, that introduces a 2ms delay before your next packet goes out. "W" might introduce a 2.5ms delay, and so forth. So they discern what you were typing by reading they delays in your outbound data stream.
What I find interesting is the "off the record" feature(http://mail.google.com/mail/help/chat.html #offrecord), where if you don't want the chat logged, gmail won't log it for the person you're speaking to or you. This doesn't preclude them from logging chats with a 3rd party client, but it does iprevent a record from existing on gmail.
I think it would be devilishly tricky for a person to perceive time as anything other than a straight, linear progression, because human thought requires the passage of time. You can't disassociate yourself from the flow of time and still be able to observe, because observation requires passage of time.
I don't particularly think that theories regarding the geometry of time refer specifically to "forward" and "backward", because those are relative terms. Might be more like the concept of time moving south to north(think of south as referring to the region "below" the plane of our solar system, and north being "above") and at a 36 degree angle to the plane of our orbit.
Now, the preceeding paragraph is a bunch of nonsense, and completely useless, insofar as I can't conceiver of anyway one could a) observe anything leading them to make the conclusions I've made b) make any logical conjectures based on said observations or c) devise a method to test the validity of those conjectures. I'm not bright enough to figure out if the concept of the gemoetry of time is equally worthless, but I like to imagine it is.
A more apt analogy would be, "would a 'Christian-friendly' guild be tolerated that actively recruited Christians?"
Homosexuality is not a religion. A better analogy is, "would anyone care if there was a heterosexual friendly guild(note that it still allows homosexuals, just so long as they're supportive of and friendly to heterosexuals, and don't use derogatory terms that a reasonable hetero would find offensive)?"
And the answer is "yes." Some people would be offended by that, because some people are asses. Just like anyone who takes offense at the GLBT friendly guilds is an ass.
Wandering OT, I do wonder if Blizzard would permit guilds that are open about their non-Christian beliefs, and actively recruit members of their respective religions? Or would they want to ban them, so as to prevent people from harassing them?

One of my favorite points regarding evolution has always been that advanced civilisation is an unfavorable adaptation. The third world seems to be the evolutionary cusp of humanity, as birth rates only go lower as you approach the first world. This is also observable in the microcosm of a particular society; poor people are more likely to have kids than rich people. Economic propserity is an unfavorable trait.

Now you can disable tags again. Install the firefox greasemonkey extension ( http://www.greasespot.net/ ), or install Opera. Then install this script: http://parksideninjas.com/greasemonkey/notagspleaseslashdot.user.js
Then spread the word.
The storage provided by the manufacturer is SSD (three of them, in RAID) and is submerged, but they have bays for removable drives you might want to add on your own. Also, in response to your comment about resetting the CMOS, they have a button that does that on the case (behind a little plastic door so you don't accidentally hit it).
Sure. Check out http://parksideninjas.com/greasemonkey/slashdotlinkopener.user.js
Note that this forces every single link on slashdot to open in a new window/tab. Even internal navigation. Not sure if that's what you meant, but it is what you asked for!
If you use the Greasmonkey Firefox extension, or Opera userscripts, you can. See my comment below.

"And" implies a decimal point. 110 is "one hundred ten", 110.3 is "one hundred ten and three tenths".

I have a solution. If you use the Greasemonkey Firefox extension or Opera userscripts, load up this little guy: http://parksideninjas.com/greasemonkey/antidvorakscript.user.js
Will remove any story with a summary containing the word "Dvorak".
It's cubic meters per femtosecond. Which is roughly 2.1*10^18 CFM.
But if we're talking about this Window Snyder she is kinda cute. You know, for a former MS security expert.
