IE Fanboys: Insert comment about how this is an inaccurate rating, with inaccurate demographics.
Firefox fanboys: Insert comment(s) about how Firefox will take over IE someday, Firefox is faster, and more secure than IE(better in any concievable way), and Linux will dominate Longhorn.
Sorry to be cynical, but come on, thats we ever see in all the "Firefox gains x % of the internet" articles.
Aside from that, nothing to see here, move along.
Just for YOUR information, they dont use 100% BSP geometry to make their levels. Unreal and Doom use BSP brushes to block out their levels, and static meshes for pretty much anything else, which are MUCH more efficient and look *A LOT* prettier.
What is all this talk about source "technology"? it pisses me off to no end. What people dont get is that its still a botched hl1 engine, which in turn is a botched up quake engine. Building your levels completely out of BSP geometry is completely unnacceptable these days. I nearly puked when i got to the city portions of the game and buildings are comprised of one single cube, no detail whatsoever. As for higher polygon counts, only MODELS in the game were increased. The geometry of the levels(most important) is still very simple, uses the same old csg, bsp, vis and rad tools. The engine is NOTHING NEW. NADDA. The story was half assed too.... They expect to have these memorable characters made from the end of HL1 and you're supposed to remember all their hero characteristics, when all they did was play a wav file that said "Catch me later ill buy you a beer" or "Oh do be careful gordon" to inaccurate lipsyncs. The whole ONOALIENSLOLZWTFKDIE is getting old, and cs-s is a joke. Biggest waste of 99$CAD for the "gold" version. PS: Steam sucks ass too.
Why is it whenever someone says "Here goes my karma" and expects their karma to go down, everyone and anyone mods them up? But sure as hell, i say this and ill get -1 offtopic:P.
Starcraft is PERFECT for your situation. Only requires a mouse, it will take a lot of getting used to, especially only using your head, but man, starcraft is THE RTS of ALL TIME! Any other rts would do you as well, but i have found, although this is just my undisabled findings, i can still play starcraft nearly 10 years after its been first released and still get the same rush from it. Its fun. Your disabled. You have a reason to play this game 24/7. Dont miss out on the opportunity of a LIFETIME.
Yes they have for PC games, although not this centralized and in depth. As well, they havent had them easily accessible and exportable to other tools. The other amazing thing about this is that they get all your info from a CONSOLE game.
Like the previous poster said, they took an already existing idea, and made it 10X better. Hats off to bungie.
This doesnt seem like such a bad idea. This is a great idea mainly because it entices those who currently do not buy from amazon to do so, and as well, will encourage people to buy MORE from amazon. There will always be abusers of the system, but they are in very small numbers. Hell, I think even might start buying from them instead of ebayer's.
What really buggers me the most is that people can sit and adore the "Beauty" of the games running on the "source" engine. THEIR LEVELS ARE CONSTRUCTED ALMOST PURELY OUT OF BSP GEOMETRY! I cant count how many times ive seen cube buildings, cube train cars, and just general hard edges on everything. They apply cubemaps and bumpmaps on things, which doesnt look too bad, but there are still these incredibly hard edges, that look awful. This was feasible back in 1998 when HL1 came out, but when you see doom3 and unreal tech's - this is just a joke, performance wise as well. Unreal/D3 engines can run about equal or just about lesser performance, and make much more beautiful scenes.
On a side note, I dont really see how they took soo long to release this. I have worked on many mods, and such are capable of creating HL2 style or equivilant graphics, on the HL1 engine, by implementing their own shader systems, and texture managers, and produce nice shots, like this one.. Jumping around again, the hl2 engine is just a very very very very botched up hl1 engine, for those that actually got to look at the source when it was 'released' last september. Keep in mind that is just a botched up quake1 engine:P.
not to mention, all of the theories and methods of evolution,which date back to the darwinian times, like patheology or comparative anatomy have physical evidence. Where i sit on the fence is, the common ancestor is... god himself. He created man in his image, which supports both sides of the theories here, just in different cases. This could go on for pages and pages, but just something to think about.
I really fail to see how this will be useful, and help productivity. Personally, i dont think an operating system needs to be that fancy. Just like those who use the console now, "back in my day, we had to use 2d interfaces"
Wow, what a great addition to my collection of my nes mods. Faster cpu, green led, black paint, no lockout, TAKE THAT XBOX(2?)!
ninja gaiden runs faster:)
Really though, NES is a kickass system, which I can still turn to for fun times, gj nintendo
Just for the hell of it, i tried it with firefox and fedora core 3(updates and all). Resulted in total X lockup:\. I usually dont side with MS, and X lockups arent as bad security wise, but still:\.

I guess this explains why you are posting on slashdot and not working in %99.99999019 of the IT departments in existance?
Hrm....Elton John eh? I think i found your problem.

They have the worst site I have ever been to. Its just awful. Renders slow and chunky even on a new p4.
