Diablo2, a newer Blizzard game than Starcraft, doesn't support IPX, but uses TCP/IP for non-Battlenet games, and it doesn't matt if it's LAN or WAN.
What about things that P2P doesn't make sense for

I don't think a P2P protocol would make more sense for me reading/. or ESPN websites. I agree that P2P could be more useful than HTTP for applications, but I don't see why they wouldn't keep HTTP around for simple browsing.
But... maybe I just answered my own question. Is this a thinly-disguised way to hide a revive of the much-touted-a-few-years-back "push" technology for the web?
...if companies are allowed to seize the stock of something that was being sold and may be borderline. If this extends too far, stores may not even want to keep any inventory on hand for fear of it being seized and them not compensated, when they most likely doing nothing wrong by selling them.
"The oil companies might be big and nasty but they do at least compete."
This may be true in theory ("In theory Marge, Communism works. In theory."), but it would be tough to convince me that it's just coincidence that ALL of the gas stations in town decided to do a price hike of the same amount a couple days before their normal weekly change, and also that it was just coincidence that they all did a SECOND jump during the week. It be hard to think of something that reeks of more collusion than this.
At my high school, there was quite a range of people on the chess team (which was very successful - a few state championships, national runner up). On the top team, there was a co-captain of the football team, a co-captain of the soccer team, and a part time drug user, though it seemed ours was the exception rather than the rule, but that's why we had more fun:) For instance, we really pissed people off in tournaments by showing up a couple minutes late to games because we were somewhere nearby playing basketball.
... but the other terminators (who were around at the time Skynet created the Arnold one) must have looked different. Otherwise they wouldn't need the dogs to detect them. The one who attacked the humans in the one "flash-forward" looked different.
One interesting thing to be about the "separation of Church and State" clause is that this clause is NOT from the Constituion -- which is why I get so irked when I see editorials and such in major newspapers talking about such and such being against the "Constitutional Separation of Church and State". It actually comes from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote, and, like you said, in context refers to his thoughts on why the State shouldn't be involved in the Church, rather than the popularly believed Church-not-involved-in-State.
1) Why was Thade remembered as good? (The "Ape Lincoln" statue? Everyone hated him in the end, and he presumables dies where he's left.
2) Where are the horses from?
(More of a questioning commentary) I thought it was a different planet, as the station listed it at "uncharted." I figured the "thousands of years old" were them not knowing any better.. ie carbon dating, etc. Thus, the whole ape version of the US didn't sit well with me. I wondered how that worked. Thinking it was a different planet, I thought the ending (after he passed up the SURE THING!!!! and left the planet) ruined the plot for earlier. While not the biggest twist in history, I liked the new take on it with the space station "supplying" the apes, and other than the ending, thought it was a pretty decent flick overall. Heck, just chop off the movie where he flies away, leave everything else in doubt, and it's a better ending (with more flexibility for sequels...)
JP was a much better book, than movie, but if you want one of his novels with a big difference between movie and book, Congo was INCREDIBLY better as a novel.
Having grown up in Indiana and now being in Ohio.. I'd have to say the only real problems with Indiana drivers are speeding (where isn't that one) and cutting across a couple lanes (only in Indianapolis).
Ohio and Michigan on the other hands.. wow. Ohio drivers like driving slow in the left lane on the Interstate. In Toledo (where I live) red light running has been quite rampant -- even school busses! -- I'm quite sure I could have made it through some intersections before the red light runners. People also like turning from the wrong lanes. One spot is so bad I considered driving my old car in a loop where I kept going through this intersection to see how long until someone side-swiped me by turning into the wrong lane. I feel confident in saying there's no chance I'd have had to stop and get gas to keep it up.
Michigan overtook Tennessee long ago as the worst I'd see in the US. Michigan drivers will claim it's Detroit giving them the bad rap. While SE Michigan is pretty bad (speed limit = 70, I've gotten passed while going 95), it's all over the state. Like OH drivers, they (to use a term my friend coined for this) butt-pick in the left lane. They usually signal a lane change after making it. My absolute favorite happened in Traverse City. At a 3-way intersection, I could not go straight at a green light because not one, not two, but SIX cars across the yellow line. I had to sit through a couple green light cycles before finally turning in to a parking lot on the side so I could head out some other way. That would have been more interested had I not been borrowing a friend's car.. I was leary of pulling up to the first car in the wrong lane and starting to honk in someone else's car.
Something else is stretches for the lower back. Being more flexible helps prevent lower back pain caused by being too tight.
I am not a doctor, but this was the medical advise given to me two weeks ago for my lower back pain caused by a groin sprain and potentially bruised tailbone.
All the talk of razor blades reminds me of a conversation my roommates had. They came to the conclusion that by _weight_, razor blades are the most valuable substance on earth.
I couldn't find a cow catcher for sale. (You know, the things on the front of trains.) A friend wants to put one on the front of his car, so I helped him look online.
I also didn't get a rebate for an Atlas modem, though I only lost out on $20. Turns out, not long after I'd bought the modem, Atlas went under from what I'd heard. My dad forwarded a link to Best Buy info on how to collect the rebate, but I never pursued it. However, it is the only rebate I've never received, though most take their time to arrive.
My personal favorite was one for a credit card offer. (As a side note, you know it's not going to be a good card when it says "NO SECURITY DEPOSIT" in giant red letters as its biggest selling point.) It just so happened either Pepsi or Coke was running a contest, and I just finished a bottle with a cap that said "Sorry, please try again." I simply enclosed that in the postage-paid envelope, a couple packets of salt from Wendy's, and wrote a nice little rant about how I would have to be on crack, not just any crack but good Columbian crack, to go for their offer.
If the separation of church and state has really occurred, why is it that the Republicans are still allowed to bring religion into every election?
This is one phrase that causes me to sigh and roll my eyes when I hear it because of the misuse and out-of-contextness in which it is typically used. Side note -- I'm not zeroing in on your usage, but my rant is moreso tied to the media and those who are way out there who think the world would be a kinder, gentler place if no one could display trees for Christmas. The phrase is NOT part of the Constitution, it is taken from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. The Constitution just says Congress can't stop the establishment of a religion.
I just love how the people figure out they voted for the wrong person afterwards as though some great epiphany comes with lights from heaven and angels singing.
It was "figured out" by the rep for the district who said something along the lines of "There's no way that many people here voted for Buchanan, something must be wrong". Even though a similar amoung of votes for the Reform party came from there last election...
I HAVE seen the pictures of the Florida ballots. Come on, if someone can't figure that out, they really shouldn't be voting. In fact, they'd probably struggle with the games here: http://weazel.iwarp.com/games.html
If anybody tries to give the Presidency to someone that didn't get a majority vote, I'm going to throw a fit.
Did you throw a fit in 1992, when Clinton got about 43% of the popular vote? People during his administration kept saying he had a mandate for change because the majority elected him, when in fact it was only a plurality.
I don't remember for sure in 1996 if he had a majority or plurality, it was close though. According to a count I found, he was right at 50% if you only counted the three largest candidates. If 118023 people in the country voted for a third party candidate other than Perot, then Clinton only had a plurality then as well.
Where are all of these bad PS2 reviews I keep hearing about? I only seem to find them here and I think in a Yahoo article. EGM gave positive reviews to many of the games (Madden 2001, Smuggler's Run, SSX, Timesplitters, NHL 2001 all come easily to mind as receiving excellent ones). I was among the many who were not able to obtain one, however I did rent a console for the weekend. My friends and I were all pleased overall with the game play (FYI I rented Smuggler's Run, SSX, and Unreal Tournament, as well as watched U-571 on DVD). If that's the level of games BEFORE developer's figure out to maximize the hardware potential, I, for one, am looking forward to the next generation of games.

"That could very well have been the start of this recession"
.. which would place the start at, what, June-ish?
Seems like that timeline's a little off to me. The beginning of it was starting before W took office, I believe.

... one running with a 1.21 GW power supply...(pronounced "jigga" here and here only)
And come on.. who didn't enjoy The Guyver?
.. well.. ok.. but at least it's better than Rabid Grannies and Redneck Zombies... barely...
There was at least a baby orangutan on the ship.

1) Why was Thade remembered as good? (The "Ape Lincoln" statue? Everyone hated him in the end, and he presumables dies where he's left.

.. or was the first Mummy basically Army of Darkness with a bigger budget?
I mean, in both of them, trouble was started with an Ancient Book of the Dead.
Another observation, for any Diablo 2 players.. Was it just me, or were those pygmies Flayers?
A bit off topic, but....
