I actually saw the donnas when they came to my university. I expected a media conglomerate created type band, but honestly, they are a really really solid band. They also don't get sloshed drunk and mess up the second part of the set terribly like some other big name bands I have seen. Also I'm not sure how many of their songs you've heard, but that one girl can really shred the shit.
22,000 students just have the option of recieving a state granted machine running linux. Anyone who brings their own machine won't be requesting them... At most there might be a few hundred students getting this computers.
Well, graphics doesn't really matter that much as long as the physics are right, right? Anyway there is a strong mod community that is still going strong has has routinely updated the game to take advantage of newer graphic cards.
Perhaps maybe she should have checked out other schools and transferred if it was really important to her? I've been on many campuses that are very pro-conservative. I mean, Pat Robertson has his own university.
Did you see the part of the show where they tested a piece of plywood's effectiveness as a parachute and basically found that it made the fall worse? I'm sure if you did the calculations anyway you would find that the force upward from the air resistance at some 30 mph would rip it out of the most determined hand. Its sort of like the belief that you can hold onto a baby in the front seat of a car and restrain it during a car accident, where even in a 15 g crash a 30 pound baby becomes 450 pounds trying to go forward.
Well, that's too bad because many fiction books incorporate real world ideas and make a commentary about them. Take 1984 for example. It is a fiction book but puts real fears into its binding. It also could be turned around the other way and said that 1984 has affected your real world life even if you haven't read it yet. Of course few books have this gravity, but nonetheless some fiction books seem to have more base in reality than a lot of non-ficition books.
In the event they are giving away old text books, please let me know. I'll happily stand in line, with my folding chair.
I've shelled some really big zorkmids for astronomy books and even one a couple years out of date is welcome on my shelf.
Sorry, but they sell those to the secondary schools for $160.
Looks like all our old astronomy textbooks will have to be thrown away...
Which happens every year at the university level anyway, where a new 'edition' comes out every year with one or two pages slightly modified, but you have to buy the new one for $150 since the questions and homework study in the appendix are completely different. No, I'm not bitter that the fall semester is coming or anything.
Maybe so, but this isn't exactly a mind bending way to dupe something, and it seems that there is a good chance you could discover it by accident. And the more people that discover makes the chance that one of them tells everyone they know goes up. It's like the discovery of non-Elucid geometry; somebody is going to tell everyone sooner or later.
I've never used photoshop, but I use The Gimp a lot. I also use Windows. The only thing I wish was that all the windows The Gimp produes would be contained in a meta window, since I do not have virtual desktops, and the ones I have tried for windows have, to put lightly, sucked. It is annoying to try to bring up what you want, and accidentally click somewhere outside a window onto the browser in the background, and you have to bring up 7 or 8 windows individually. I want it to still be like The Gimp, because that is what I am used to, but this request can't be THAT difficult, can it?
What is the defense against the use of a nuclear weapon by a terrorist? The answer is not a missile shield. Even if the shield is 80% effective, one successful nuclear bomb would be devastating.
I think you missed some of the points somewhere along the way. Terrorists nukes aren't going to be coming into the U.S. in the form of ICBMs. A missle shield would be 0% effective against terrorist nukes. Their nukes would probably be inside of a cube truck or something similar, or they could assemble one in a studio apartment in downtown NYC. I think the article says that once a terrorist has a nuke, and would just want wanton destruction instead of ransom money, it would be easy to do.
As for your lame 'western culture is the best' comment, have you even experienced every other culture? Maybe the pygmys have it down spot! How would you ever know?
I beta'd this for a few weeks and got up to level 13 or 14, can't remember which. But combat became very boring for me.
Isn't combat suppose to be really exciting? Fear, adrenaline, all of that? Not just holding down a mouse button over an enemy?
It would be awesome to have a control type where you controlled your sword arm with your mouse, ala Die by the Sword. If you want, you can have full control over your arm, where you mouse moves, your arm moves. People who find that too hard, it can be dumbed down a bit where simple mouse movements translate into fients, slashes, etc.
That is a MMORPG I would subscribe to.
One time the manager misplaced a decimal point and the store ended up with a 3 year supply of chef hats. Three years is a huge amount of time for some stock to be sitting taking up room, but they threw them all up in the rafters.

The prototype can hardly leave the ground.
You realize that there is just a camera behind the guy and a projector in front, right?

Perhaps you have never played Grand Prix Legends then? Released in '98 I still have not played a better sim.

I think generally that the snipers we are fighting today don't have access to those things. They usually just shoot with ak47s and scopes.
That top 5 list is a little weird considering the climates for those cities. But people do buy a LOT of slurpees here in detroit.

So would it be correct to say that the British Isles is a Barrel of Fish?

What uses are there for gignatic prime numbers like this other than showing off computing power?
Encrypting?

I was really worried for a while but then I realized they meant 2 degrees Celsius, which is like 50F, so I think we're ok for a while.
I posted this once in the comments section for some slashdot story. I guess I should've just submitted it, eh? ;)
Oh well...

Is there nothing more attractive than a girl in a rusty helmet holding a submachine gun? If there is, I haven't found it yet.
But Detroit's city water beats the pants off anywhere else I've been. I'm sure there is better, but I haven't found it yet.
