Actually, Oklahoma has plenty of funding which could be used on the roads because most expressways have long since been paid off but are still taking tolls. They would rather use the money on other things besides the actual roads, though. By now, I think everybody just memorizes where all the potholes are and slaloms around them.
Japanese roads are hit-or-miss. The expressways are pristine, but the streets near my apartment are shit. It took two years before work began on resurfacing one road near me that was probably 50% potholes.
Just to be nitpicky, goon-run site Alluvion.org still hosts torrents for people who wish to provide them to fellow users. Thanks to it, we are able to share such things as that 500 MB video of Bill Hicks flipping out on stage. "Ah'm a drunk cunt!"
It's worth the $10 alone to avoid the Linux fanboyism and idiotic catchphrases that became tired in 1995.
Oh, and see the search button at the bottom? Like, whoa!
Have you ever tried using it? More than one search keyword and the system shits its pants.
And the servers can't handle the "sheer number of users" because radium can't code for shit and cobbled the software together from an old warezed version of vB and various examples from MySQL For Dummies.
Last time I checked, the Awful Forums rarely have performance issues. Previewing and Posting is almost instant. Compare that to Slashdot, where doing either results in a delay that is typically 10-20 seconds long. If you're going to compare code quality, try comparing to something else besides Slashcode (Nothing to see here, HURRRR).
What are your accusations of vBulletin being "warezed"? If Team Barry lacked any regard for the vB system on which the forums are based, the first thing they would do is get rid of the "Powered by vBulletin [really old version]" footer at the bottom of the page. It was actually one of the agreements between them and the vBulletin developers when they modified it.
That's about 512 kb/sec, right? Sounds about proportional for the usual broadband speeds. I'll gladly trade you that for my 384k down/768k up (really, WTF?) DSL connection.
Yes, consumers will take a certain amount of working over.
But this is TV. When the TV starts screwing up, the other folk in the household get pissed off. They start to ask "why did you buy this piece of crap"? And then it gets returned.
If this were entirely true, digital cable/satellite TV would not be the heaping piece of crap that it is today and you might actually get picture quality comparable to analog and not wait 2 seconds just to change the channel.
As for HD, I have yet to see a stream, by means of over-the-air or terrestrial cable, that didn't have the bitrate squeezed so hard that artifacts were everywhere and anything beyong 480p was pointless.
When was the last time the project was actually updated? August 24, 2004. That's a port of version 0.84.3b and many of the roms that worked in the PC version of MAME during that time don't work at all on XBox.
Like every other emulator ported to console/portable, it doesn't actually do anything useful...

I'm referring to going eastbound on I-44 and approaching where the toll road ends and west Tulsa starts (you can tell by the refinery smell). I don't think the speed limit signs were the same each time I went, usually due to construction or something.
Also, wasn't the road paid off by its own tolls a long time ago? Now they're pretty much using it as an excuse to fund other things.
It's easy enough to let happen. You ever driven on highways in Oklahoma? Speed limit: 75 MPH, no wait, 45 MPH, now it's 65...not! God, the I-44 into Tulsa is obnoxious; there's three or four signs within 1 mile of each other just like that.
Metroid is probably a good example of this. I don't know how long I spent falling down the blue vertical areas trying to get them to draw brown by mistake or doing the roll-up-in-the-door trick to find unfinished areas.
Pretty much. I live in Japan and have an American-style toilet and the flush handle goes both ways. Pull towards you for a small, momemtary flush or back for a full one.
Now, if there was only a way to raise the water level in the bowl so I didn't have to scrub shit off of it all the time. Fucking gross.
In addition, doom3.exe refuses to run under Windows 98/ME unless you hex edit some code function that remains as plaintext among all the garbase called GlobalMemoryStatusEx and replace the hex values of the last two characters, 45 and 78, with 00 and 00.
I don't recall if I had any issues enabling surround under Windows 98; I was moving entirely to XP just days after, anyway/
From article: By April 1984, Apple had managed to sell only 65,000 units, loosing money on the model. Geez, Slashdot's power to make people misspell words is so powerful that it's leaking into linked articles!

Well, thank you for equating torrents to illegal distribution since I was unclear about that part.

Your a fucking idiot.
Wow, this time, it was the first word of the post. We have a new record.
Hey, did I pay $10 to post this? No.

My compact car sputters in first gear at 10 kph. 40-60 kph sounds more logical for city traffic.
Where in Japan are you? For $40 per month, I can only get 8Mbit ADSL with real world speeds that don't even exceed 512kbit/second.

Conducted any classical music lately?

Yup. Not news.

Didn't the enemies stop moving once they stopped seeing you or does that only happen at lower skill levels?
hell, i am playing UT2K4 on my notebook without any blurring. some people must be more sensitive than others.
Of course it's not a problem. You're playing UT2004 on a laptop while probably getting 10 fps.

Yeah, but you gotta wait for 1.1 to get released to take care of the memory leak for that to happen.
RSS attacks itself!

dont you loose steering on new cars when the power is off?
No, I'd say my steering is pretty tight after shutting the car off.
I think a lot of people due care about gaming news.
Ok, now the Slashdotters are trying to misspell.
Q: If you're skiing down a dirt hill and you hit a tree, how many pancakes does it take to cover a doghouse?
A: Purple, because ice cream has no bones.
