"that wasn't the first game to use teleportation as a gameplay mechanic...the player enters point A with full velocity and exits point B with the same speed, but moving in a new direction"
I have been playing Half-Life2 on Vista since early January. First on Vista Business, and in the last couple of weeks, on Vista Home Premium.
I have not seen any issues - NONE
<strokin' it>
This may be due to my system being hand built to run Vista:-)
I get 5.9 scores on everything except the CPU, which gets a lowly 5.3.
The heart of the system is Dual geForce 8800's in SLI - sweet!
I believe that Richard Dean Anderson should be in the movie.
The Simpsons has made reference to his MacGyver character over the years, and his Jack O'Neal character (Stargate SG1) has reciprocated with references, for example, to "Mr. Burns as Goa'uld" and naming his boat "Homer"
Maybe MacGyver could show up in Springfield and marry both Patty and Selma.
The only way to make space exploration appeal to the general masses is the same way Atlantic crossings developed, whether it be by boat, Zepplin, or aircraft.
Initially, governments (kings/queens) paid for journeys across the oceans. Once these 'Public' ventures accomplished something like building a settlement and proving the voyage to be relatively safe, wealthy upper class commissioned their own private voyages.
The more voyages that occured, the larger the vessels; the larger the vessels, the cheaper the individuals cost; the cheaper the individual cost, the more the general masses can take part. As the number of tourists increase, the more the need for accomodation at the destination; the more accomodation, the more workers to support it...
This all leads to the eventual construction of Disneyworld. So why not kickstart the whole thing by packing up EuroDisney and put it on the moon.

Sounds like they re-invented (ms)Pacman(jr)
Sounds like a root kit for the Clapper (tm)
The article mentions Larry Probst as CEO. Jeff Probst is host of Survivor.

Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, Slashdot is going to be acquired by Microsoft?
/. overlords!
/. bias in favour of *nix.
That is before it get's Google'ized!
I, for one, welcome our new
I didn't care for the old
I think an honest forum with both pro and con is a benefit to all parties.
