You are killing other players/cars. Doof doof music to the thought of pilled up sweaty people does not set the vibe for a violent game. Dirty Metal heads with tattoos and DEATH SKULL \o/ shirts sort of fits the mood for this type of game alot more.
It's sad, but you are so right.
Seems everyone is a expert these days about things as advanced as rocket science and stem cell research. I'm going to guess that is why the majority of them are all working as sys admins or are students. *cough cough*
I think/. should start issuing PhD's in Bullsh!t to the best of the best.
I'm all for this. Yes it is costly, but most dev kits are.
I have decided to start studying again and the average number of pages each of my books has is 850. These books are massive and heavy."..no thats not a bomb in my bag, just a book officer". I can only fit two in my general purpose backpack at any given time. I travel by train 2-3h per day. I can't wait to see more of these devices out there so that I can read without having to lug around tons of books or require high power consumption like laptops do. Not all the trains here have power points.
I wonder what the cost of the devkit and the devices produced are going to be like in a years time.
Anyperson with common sense and that reads warnings will see that it says. TURN OFF POWER BEFORE OPENING DEVICE. No matter how smart your garage disposal unit is, if you flick that switch at the wall it CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. As for smart fridges etc. A smart fridge would just report on what is needed for it, like new milk, cheese, juice. In Japan they have smart fridges that order needed goods. Things such as defrost/turn-on.off remain manual operations. The only thing I see smart in a stove we be sensors to report that it is working correctly and usage statistics, so that the manufactures can create better devices, you'd never get a remote turn on for a stove, those type functions will still be good old solid buttons and knobs to push.
The joke is that storage space these days is CHEAP, and googles knows it. They give us something that rocks, and everyone else is too fscking stupid to catch on.
April fools most people are everyday.
Piracy does not really stop bands from making it. GOOD bands make their money from gigs and tours. Prince/Metallica/Madonna/Linkin Park/ etc etc etc, make MOST their money from tours.
Starting bands have their members in DAY jobs and gigging at night and weekends.
I think you're just really confused about life. To make it you NEED make things work, you can't blame outside factors like the weather and piracy.
I'm just under 25, and feel the same way as you do, if thats getting old, then I'm doomed.
I think these people don't actually use their machines for anything constructive, and thus talk about tempretures and speeds and overclocking. Things that mean something, but are best kept under the hood. The same goes for the windows/linux war, it's pointless, each has it's place in the world.
With that said, us 'old' guys can crack open another beer and watch the flames start flying.:)
Offers a 4Meg line on the London Net system. They run a line direct to BCC, by passing BT(British Telecom). BCC has Bulldog and some other ISP's on 'safe' lists of IP ranges, but it's easy to route through other peoples systems, the problem is that the up on the stream on home lines is 400k. Enough for one stream.
Do you need more proof. Open your eyes, and READ the whole site, and do research, get back up facts. Go the library.
It has much to do with OIL. The pipe has started to be build in Afganistan, and the oil in Iraq is now going to be SOLD in $'s and not Euros, thus making it cheaper for the USA.
And you americans still wonder why most the world does not like you. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
Are YOU the current republican power?
I truly doubt so.
Are YOU currently spreading FALSE propogranda, perhaps, but YOU are not the curreny Republican system.
Your grammer skills must be truly lacking, go back to school.
I'm using TWO examples.
ONE. A game, that most people can relate to.
TWO. Real life.
Hence the 'and', and the ','.
Alright, this is were fact shows you're an idiot. Try read ARTICALS before posting links to them.
"But the US military said the agent was so deteriorated it posed no threat." "Tests indicated some warheads contain cyclosarin, more powerful than sarin, Polish officials say.
But the US military said that while two of the rockets tested positive for sarin, traces of the agent were so small and deteriorated as to be virtually harmless."
You can get more dangerous substance at the local drug store.
I'm not even going to bother with the rest.
I'll just leave it as this. Flame Wars are not my thing.
How can you debate with people that LIE and CHEAT. There are NO weapons, IRAQI's HAD nothing to do with 9/11. Afgans have NOTHING to do with 9/11. All facts not lies.
The republicains are people that can NOT be debated with. The best left-wing 'attack' with sit in's rather than bombs and sticks and stones is not wrong. Feed people the truth by blocking the lies.
Most americans ignorance is the primary cause for the USA to start it's fall from glory. Play a game of Age of Mythology or any such game, and study real world history, power comes and power goes, the USA must realise that its power days are gone and that it can NOT hold on forever. LIES and MURDER will not help sustain anything.
I'm a linux user mostly. I'm on holiday now so I'm booted into Windows for some games. I do as you do, removing all those stupid windows animations and fading things, that alone speeds up things.
1 Gig of ram on this laptop also tends to speed things up.
Try magic mushrooms, that will get you in a creative mood again. See the world from a differnt point of view but keeping focus. You'll find that the worlds best minds see things from a 'mushroom' type point of view.
At the first company I worked, my power supply caught on fire, and blew out flames all over my office. It left a nasty black mark on the wall. I managed to get the fire out. I replaced the blown cap in the power supply, took an air gun and blew all the dust out the supply. All in all from catching on fire to being operational again was about 15 mins. It turns out the power supply had been sitting in a very dusty place before living in my pc.
How can someone be 'smart' to get that far, and then use their name. It defies all logic known to man. Perhaps idiots are needed in the world afterall for our entertainment.
I see people keep saying 'our' country. I'm not from the USA and I've never been there and neither have many other/.'ers , but this I can say, whatever happens there with regards to mass political moves there does affect us in smaller countrys.
Many of the problems we could face tomorrow would be a direct result of Bush and friends. They tend to have 'something' agaist other races/cultures.
Politics does cross over to 'geekland' when it starts passing laws on patents/privacy and other arb laws that effect us on the other side of the pond.
I would tend to agree with what you are saying. So perhaps they are shooting themselve in the foot with this preposal of theirs.
'Open Source' weather collection would give a more accurate picture of statistics. If there are a few closed weather centers with high accuracy equipment to say a few hundred thousand people contributing to and open system. The system with more people even though running with 'poorer' equipment, would give a better overview, as the results of weather statistics is that of averages so the errors get smoothed out in the end.
I know there was/is a simular type event happening for earth quake detection. A home system that many people plugged into and then each persons meter would report to some central station. So perhaps now is the time for weather to do the same.
I have had my previous computer on for 400 days just as a test of reliability. If memory errors are the cause of so many 'problems' why did my machine not fall over in over 400 days? Am I just lucky to have gotten 'good' ram.

I'm confused. You say nerver cells grow at 1mm per year. What about when a kid grows up but a few inches in that year. How does that work then, magic?
I've only got their demo disc with one race track on. Great to play. Can't wait till I get the 'real' version. Visually stunning :)

When powerlines go down, it means the power feeds are not passing through. The lines are still connected though.

So basically Longhorn is MS taking something such as geoshell and making it part of the standard install?

They assume that linux users such as you and I will hack their own. ;-)
Just as a note.
