Perhaps eventually quoting the law that makes quoting things illegal will be illegal. Why not, wells fargo is suing wells fargo and AT&T charging a discount fee for discounts it would make perfect sense.
So do I but HL2 and the Episodes' biggest problems are definitely not trying to have gordon be the silent messiah, it's absolutely a gameplay issue.
HL2 was just "okay" and Ep1 was a little worse but Ep2 takes the cake, the whole episode feels like it's literally nothing but "HERE LOOKIT THIS!" physics bits (oh joy, ANOTHER bar across X I need to move) or nearly on-rails driving bits used to string together infinite respawning enemy wait periods or the occasional cheesy escort mission.
If you think this is one of their worst marketing abuses you should see what they do with banned accounts, they prop them up like puppets and pretend that person's still active.

I bought a $7 pack of a couple 100watt-equivalent GE CFLs several years ago and i've used them everywhere except my kitchen and they do just fine here in florida even with the humidity and heat of... florida... let alone the shower. They go on, they go off, it takes a couple seconds for them to get to full brightness but they're easily ~60watt incandescent brightness right when they turn on and I haven't replaced any of them in several years despite serious hard use. All of this is anecdotal though and thus unreliable.
Which leaves just the power factor argument, and I'll leave that to someone that knows more about electricity than I do. What I will say is that I STILL call bullshit on these mythical super-efficient incandescent bulbs that no grocery or home improvement store in the central florida area seems to carry.
So the imac is taking a laptop and giving it the portability of a desktop, and this is taking a laptop and... what, removing the integrated screen and desktop?
Yeah, see, that doesn't work when you're asking for something that's right on Apple's Website and fits into the readily-proven common knowledge category as the far side of the moon always facing away from the surface of the earth.
All you're really doing is saying "I don't have a shred of proof for my argument so I'm not even going to tell you what it is, or even which part of yours I disagree with, I'm just going to say 'i demand proof' generically and pretend that it makes me intelligent and trendy".
i meant 2009, that was a typo, and 34% two years after launch vs 60% almost 9 years after release seems to only reinforce my point. I dont doubt there will be a surge of win7 use at the beginning of it's major releases as people try out the new toy but unless it actually outperforms XP or developers start doing something genuinely worth directx10/11 instead of the odd geometry shader or just locking specific features for no real reason I dont see it disloding XP any time soon.

Creative cards working yet? I'd heard vista lacked any decent hardware sound support, effectivelly rendering headphone gaming with X-fi cards impossible.
Also I don't buy their statistics. According to the latest steam hardware survey data released (June 2007) 60% of all surveyed systems were using winXP still, even a year after win7's launch unless it manages to actually outperform XP I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Wait, so if I'm understanding this correctly these patents are specifically on the concept of a drug's levels in a patient's bloodstream relating to... something?
That's absurd, you may as well try to patent the observation that the liquid level in a glass of water is useful in determining when it is about to overflow and then charging people to turn their faucets off.
1. autistic spectrum disorders are no more sex discriminative than furniture, they are incapable of prejudice. Colorblindness is also far more common in males than females, sometimes genetics and biology just work like that.
2. Other disabilities are protected against UNFAIR discrimination. Not hiring an autistic person because they are barely capable of functioning in the position is no more prejudiced than not hiring someone with any other physical disability that prevents them from being able to adequately perform that job.
As soon as you start the Us vs Them mentality of "Neurotypicals" being sheeple who dont recognize the wonderful gifts you have to offer them if they'd only TRY HARDER to accept your beautiful diversity you wind up full of as much bullshit as "D"eaf people who ostracize anyone that gets a cochlear implant.
Being on the fence about neurodiversity is kinda like being on the fence about joining PETA or the Hamas. It's by far as much an extremist group as the others.
I think that's more to do with "touch typing" than anything else. With WASD your left hand is pretty much already in position for typing once you bring your right hand over from the mouse.
Control shape is arbitrary, just like the number of possible bindings. Many people use WASD with space for jumping, I use Q and E instead of A and D because it's more comfortable.
What position my hand rests in is entirely up to me, the controls are never too large or too small. And when you consider that the signals are what counts you've got keyboards in all sorts of shapes and sizes, even balls up wierd "gamepads" and the like.
I wouldn't be surprised if pretty soon keyboards start shipping with the CTRL ALT and Shift keys moved to the space between the numbers and the F# keys.
No, it doesn't work like that. You don't get to sit there being a smug little shit demanding that someone prove themselves without actually doing shit to prove YOUR point.
If your so goddamn certain of your factual correctness why dont YOU bring something to the table contradicting him?
You realise that either of those two alone pretty much instantly concerns me. Especially since I'm someone who actually has those "diversities" FOR REAL, as in diagnosed in a clinical setting with a neurological (rather than psychological) set of disorders that make my life difficult. I'm not neurodiverse anymore than I'm disabled, I just dont function properly.
Actually I would say that creativity and insanity really ARE the same thing, just the people we call crazy got a little... TOO creative and with things like their interpretation of gravity and who (or what) they think would be a good conversationalist.
It was supposed to be so over the top that it'd be like Laurel and Hardy Go To Congress but the insightful mod just destroyed my faith in humanity. again.

Only one so far that I know of, but they may decide it's a good program and expand it.
The point was more that such absurd situations DO occur rather than the actual technicalities of the situations.

No.
I wonder if anyone at MS has considered altering XP just enough to make it DX10/11 compatible and 64bit and then calling it a new operating system.

That's a reasonable argument, what's your solution then?
I think your signature applies.
