    Those aren't bandages, fool. They're kind of like the things the women have on their wrists.

    Yes. But don't tell them I told you, otherwise they said the sheep would get it.,,

    There is no reason they need to spoof with a real number.

    Great. It's bad enough to have poor/obvious patents, but we have duplicate and contradictory patents.

    I would be more alarmed about the wife turning on the oven without checking the inside. ESPECIALLY IF THE OVEN WAS PARTIALLY OPEN. What if an element was broken and shorted against the oven body? What if the dog was in the damn oven?

    I think the failure is less his fault and more his wife's.

    Frame limiting and frame skipping.

    A modification to an engine (this has already been done to quake 3 and 4) to use raytracing, would lend itself well to this hardware. Raytracing is very SMP-friendly.

    It's also oozing with potential patent abuse:

    U.S. Patent No. 7,403,392: A portable, self-contained liquid submersion cooling system that is suitable for cooling a number of electronic devices, including cooling heat-generating components in computer systems and other systems that use electronic, heat-generating components.

    How delightfully generic and self evident. Nobody has ever thought to immerse components in liquid to cool them.

    I've had bad luck with logitech sticks - stick centering going to crap, fussy buttons etc.

    My last stick (the one they have in stores now, not the cordless though) sat on a shelf for a month (nothing pressing on it etc) and when I plugged it in again, there was no resistance for 1cm around the X axis (as if the spring had relaxed) and the yaw axis was freaking out (erratic +/- 10 (of 127) around the center, as if it was reading noise).

    My all-time favorite was an old MS Sidewinder Precision Pro. Next to that, the Pro 2 (excepting the stupid grounding problem they had).

    I would really love a HOTAS, but the only one that I hear doesn't suck completely is the COUGAR, and I can't justify dropping that much cash on a controller set.

    And you (and the post in question) have outdone yourselves by assuming that the subject is a good place for comment text.

    Right now I can't, and when I could I'll probably end up forgetting ;)

    Thanks for the offer though!

    (as an aside, lack of joystick is good for me at the moment. I need to stop spending so much)

    I would play, but for the lack of available single-stick joysticks that don't suck (and don't cost $200).

    Give me a reliable, comfortable, GOOD stick with yaw and throttle, HAT, and a normal compliment of buttons and I will be happy.

    Yes, you can play with keyboard or keyboard/mouse, but I don't like to do so.

    I think the response to this shouold be someone, somewhere, repeatedly breaking in and posting financial info on politicians. Do it enough times, they will get the message.

    If you go do this, make sure you remember you didn't hear it from me, and that you do NOT brag about it. Don't be stupid.

    Lower the price and I might consider. At that price and the hassle it is to deal without forking cash over, I'll give OpenBSD a pass.

    I remembered that after my post. But my point still stands, the ban was put through and kept till it expired. Of course, 2004 is not today, but if these things were happening then, it's only fair to say they've gotten worse.

    Shame. Who would use OpenBSD beyond system admins and developers I can't really see. And as another post noted below, you still have to roll your own install media or fork over money.
