It may be flamebait, but it's true. About a year ago I was helping set up a friend's computer with a clean install of XP, and a couple of minutes after first booting it was already infected, despite never opening a browser.
..if someone tried to steer a spaceship into a black hole, from their perspective? Would the rest of the universe seem to freeze to them until they died of old age? Or would they actually be destroyed by some force inside the hole itself?
I think it's somewhat less in WoW, if you know what you're doing. Maybe a week minimum, though I'm honestly not sure as I haven't played it since the closed beta.
Meanwhile, in a different game I used to play, it took over a month of 24/7 training (which you can generally only accomplish by macros and scripts, which are illegal if AFK) to get to level 100 (while not the max as there is no cap, it's pretty much the peak right now).
Uh.. notice the little "e" next to PCI in the article and summary? That means it's PCI Express, which is better than AGP and where all high-end graphics cards are going now.
Kids don't "discover their own faith", they're indoctrinated into whatever supertition their parents force-feed them.
Actually, I pretty much did find my own faith (or lack thereof). My parents never took me to church, and never forced anything on me. I read a few different stories from the Bible (though they were simplified for children at the time) and thought about it for a few years.. now I'm agnostic.
As of this posting, the only positive comments about the PSP I've seen in this article are solely based on emulating older Nintendo consoles. I guess it's not a Sony product that people really want, is it?
I've managed to play a good bit of three games that take completely different approaches to using instances: Asheron's Call (no instances, last I checked), World of Warcraft (only large dungeons are instanced), and Guild Wars (everything outside of towns/outposts is instanced). Asheron's Call, at its height, had many crowded dungeons and people waiting in line for spawns, though this always gave you a chance to meet others. Guild Wars, on the other hand, feels empty, though you will always find that creature waiting for you. I think that Blizzard's done it best, where you can still randomly run into another player in the middle of nowhere (which can be fun for explorers like myself), but you don't have to wait for a boss to respawn at the end of that long dungeon.
Not to feed the troll or anything, but I haven't. And I do read digg regularly. Maybe I've missed something in the half-dozen different search terms I've tried (and feel free to correct me if I have), but it seems that this comment is nothing but troll. And honestly, even if it was on digg a week ago or whatever.. Why? Do you really hate/. so much that you take time from your day to make such caustic (and useless) posts?
Print out the image on paper, tape it together, and hang it on the wall of your dorm room.
That's what I intend on doing with one of those, at least. Either one of the Link to the Past overworld maps or something from Chrono Trigger that I'll likely have to map myself (the Millennial Fair, maybe).
Does there generally appear to be any sort of bias, either for employers or in general, between holders of a Bachelor of Sciences and a Bachelor of Arts degree? I'm curious, as I'm currently at a small liberal arts school where the only type of Computer Science degree I'll be getting is a BA (along with a minor in music, as I'm also a band geek like that).
I got something like that from one of my friends. I immediately suspected it was a virus (since this person never typed in that style and didn't talk to me that often to begin with), but feeling fairly secure with my own system, I did go ahead and click on it.
A Firefox window opened, asking me what I wanted to do with this.com file. Before I could decide on saving or running it (in a matter of seconds), my antivirus popped up with a warning saying that it found and deleted a virus that it found in the temp folder (since Firefox likes to predownload things).
That's all people really need; the software itself usually prevents people from doing too many stupid things like that.
Don't you ever encounter sites where the login you want has already been taken?
Actually.. no. I never have. That's one of the benefits of having a unique moniker.. That's also the downside though; anyone can track where you've been online fairly easily.
Bombing Run in UT2003 was easily my favorite gametype.. No-instagib, no-translocator games required an insane amount of teamwork (with some exceptions, such as when you could start a round with the speed combo in Anubis, then it's a matter of dodging everyone on the way to the goal).
Unfortunately they effectively killed it in UT2004, so I went to Onslaught from there. Yes, there's multiple points to watch, but that's part of the strategy of the game. I think it still translates decently as a spectating type.
One thing I'm curious about is why Deathmatch gets all the attention. Yes, it's the most popular by far, but it requires much less skill than, say, Capture the Flag in most games (and Onslaught in UT2004, Conquest in BF1942, etc.). There, they usually have teams that may not be composed of the best DM-type players, but have incredible synergy together.
Maybe the solo superstar ideal is starting to drift into the gaming arena from sports as well.

Actually, I believe the aurinase and haemaurin names come from the word aurum, which is the Latin term for gold.

If you can have a larger sample, why not use it? It's more accurate that way.

They weren't able to get Maniac Mansion working, but it looks like it may have been a problem with the cartridge.

Not necessarily. Here's one review that has almost nothing good to say: http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archive

How are they supposed to access Windows Update now?

So don't buy a 360 until it has the games that you want to play. That way you won't have to sell your original console until then either.

WebNotepad?
I believe that's called IRC.
I'm kind of surprised SOE hasn't gone this route.
They actually have.
Combine all three: have it try to teach someone English. If they fail, it shoots them and then cleans up the remains.
I'd imagine a laptop made from multicolored fine feathers would be very cool to play with, indeed!

I thought the jet was able to pilot itself. Why would it let a stupid human control it?
