From the website: To win the competition, you need to most closely match the shots taken by Lee Harvey Oswald, as concluded in the Warren Commission Report on the assassination of JFK.
Accuracy of your shots (in terms of trajectory and timing) will be judged purely by the JFK Reloaded server, which is programmed to audit each shot for timing and injuries, and thereby arrive at a total score. The higher the total, the closer you are to Lee Harvey Oswald's actions - and thereby the more clearly you prove that Lee Harvey Oswald had the means and the opportunity to commit the crime.
While I personally do not think this game is moral or even entertaining, it appears as though it is a mass experiment to try to debunk conspiracy theorists who think there is no way Lee Havey Oswald, a former Marine at that, could have killed JFK. By having enough people play through the scenario, somebody will eventually match the shots quite closely and they will have all the proof they need. If they try to use this in any kind of scientific study, they've gotta be kidding. Games are programs therefore they are programmed. That was an obvious statement, but what I mean is, after a few days of unwanted results, a client will magically report near perfect results, even if the user wasn't even close.
HL2 will not start until Steam starts. Steam takes several minutes to start. I don't want to play Steam -- I want to play HL2. But I have to wait for Steam to start, because if I try to start HL2 before it's done, HL2 silently fails. I don't care what Steam is doing, be it authentication, checking for updates or something else -- I still have to wait for it to finish before I can play HL2.
And you also have to wait for Windows to start before you play HL2. If I want to read/., I have to wait for Firefox to start. I don't want to read firefox, I want to read/..
Apparantly the fact that I want to play a single player game that still needs to talk to an Internet anti-piracy/advertising service.
Listed on the HL2 box, and I assume VALVe's website, among the system requrements was an Internet connection, so don't say you didn't know. It is VALVe's right to protect their game, and if they want, to advertise. It's not illegal.
Bottom line: If you don't want to wait "8 minutes" to play HL2, don't. It's that simple. Just say "NO".
Plan ahead next time, it's been available for pre-load for a couple months now. I pre-loaded the night it was available, so I wouldn't have to worry about it. All I had to do this morning was activate it, which couldn't have taken more than five minutes.
So Kerry is outsourcing? What else is new? Heinz ketchup has a lot of factories in Canada, Mexico and who knows where else. If he is elected, do you think he will make his wife move those factories back to the US?
Also, how does he expect to create jobs if he also plans on raising the minimum wage? That will give companies more incentive to move operations overseas. This incentive will probably be even more than the lost incentive of the tax loophole being closed.
AKMs just like the M16 are assault rifles.
They are designed to be effective up to 300 metres and mostly for spraying.
First of all, I don't understand why anybody who says anything positive about the M16 is being modded down, it's a great weapon. Marines fire M16s at 500 meters during recruit training. They are required to be able to hit a target 500 meters, and few have any trouble. You say assault rifles are used mostly for spraying, but they simply aren't. Spraying greatly reduces the accuracy, so semi-automatic is used at medium to long range, and controlled three round bursts are used in close quarters. Also, assuming M16s are maintained at least moderatly well, they are very reliable and rarely jam.

This is exactly why FTP uses UDP for its data transfer.
Actually FTP uses TCP port 21. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) uses UDP, usually port 69.
I tried taking a screenshot of the pdf and pasting it in Photoshop. It wouldn't let me paste it into Photoshop until the screenshot was taken while viewing the pdf at 30% zoom, or less. Seems pretty weird to me. I wonder how many programs are affected, Photoshop 7?, 6?, the GIMP?, surely not all image editing programs implement this.

mod me down as flame-bait if you want
Around here lately, that's like making an anti-microsoft statement and saying "mod me down as flame-bait if you want".
What Republicans need to do is get some people on the NFL schedule making committee to control the outcome of the election.

AFAIK, the server is [surprisingly] still up.
