No, you must not use keyboard shortcuts, you can. And in situations where you need to quickly access the menus of two different apps, which is what I understood the AC wanted, you should. It's always better than whining, anyway.
(1) Click on a button in the application.
(2) Motor the fuck all the way up to the top of the screen, click a menu option.
(3) Voyage the mouse all the way back down to the bottom of the screen where the application window is. Click something.
(4) Trundle the motherfucking mouse all the way back up to the top of the screen. This is getting old.
Have you tried using Command-Tab for switching between apps ?
FT/Orange gives you 18Mb/s ADSL for 40 euros a month (includes TV channels AND NO telephone) when other providers gives you 24Mb/s for 25 to 30 euros which includes TV AND free phone calls to Europe, USA, and other countries.
Don't forget that you'll never really reach those theoritical speeds, whether from FT or the competition, unless you live right next to the phone central. I tested the 18Mb/s offer for 2 months and I could barely reach 12Mb/s, it was more in the range of 10-11Mb/s than anything else (~1800 meters from the central). Now I'm using an 8Mb/s line, it's 10 euros a month cheaper, and I am connected at 8Mb/s (8160 Kb/s to be precise, which is just a tiny bit less).
But as you said, they do lack on the extra like VoIP and TV.
A film can be in or out of the official competition. The list of films in each category hasn't been announced yet for this year, but if Star Wars has to be shown, it won't be in competition.
But gameplay, and story...sorry...were FAR from Doom.
Doom had a very thin, almost inexistant story. It was actually more of a pretext than an actual story. The gameplay made the game shines though, no question about that. And let's not forget the ambient fear of those dark corridors... *shivers*
Marathon, on the other hand, was much more graphically flashy (remember that alien texture set? Bright yellow, pink, green and blue everywhere) and much less nail-biting, but the fact that going from point A to point B had an actual purpose, usually delivered through the readings of some terminal, continually developping the storyline, had you much more involved than in Doom, where getting the blue/red/yellow key card was just, well... to let you get the hell outta here.
Though while standing in line to feed my paper ballot marked with a pen into some thing I saw that the few people in front of me had all voted for Kerry/Edwards (...)
I'm not sure I'm getting this. Do you mean you were able to see a lot of already casted votes for Kerry/Edwards, or that you could clearly identify who voted for them by looking at their paper ballot while queueing? That would nullify the voting anonymity, which is a requirement of any democracy, IMO. Please explain.
Well, Frank Darabont at least has some experience when it comes to turning a novel into a movie.
Unlike the bunch who worked on "A Sound of Thunder".
This, at least, can cast a little bit of hope on the project (until some exec blasts into the editing room asking for a truckload of changes, that is).
You put a banner on your site, pointing to the iTMS. When someone clicks it and then buys something within the next 24 hours, you get a percentage of the transaction.
This has been working for a long time with the Apple Store, the fact that it now works with the iTMS too is the news bit.
OK, maybe this is not new and was available on the old site, but apparently you can edit some pages, like Products and Roadmap (check the "Edit this page" link all the way down).
Was this previously available, or have I been living under a massive kryptonite rock for the past 2 years or so?
Oh? Well my bad, then.
I thought you were asking a question when you wrote "Where are OSS games like (...)". In the end, we agree. Let's rejoice in harmony.
>Where are OSS games like Knights of The Old Republic, Ratchet and Clank,
>Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. I like such games, never seen anything
>open source remotely like it.
>That's the kind og games we're talking about.
Well, if you offer me a large amount of money and all the ressources I need, I'll be glad to start coding. Oh, and throw in some people to help me while you're at it. Around 50 should do it. Of course, I should charge for the product once it's done, to pay you back.
OTOH, if you only let me use my spare time and personnal ressources, I cannot guarantee the same quality, but it will probably be free in the end. I'm a generous guy, you know.
Those games are strongly inspired, or even remakes, from already existing titles, but I agree that the the fun and addiction they provide is well worth a little lack of creativity or professional look.
And as an added bonus, let me mention Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (main page down, unfortunately, but the files are there:)

Thought those had been posted already...

They're from SquareSoft actually. They were however released on Nintendo branded consoles up to FFVI, and then on Sony's stuff starting from FFVII.
You don't know Hollywood very well do you?

Not on the homepage, but it's not really hidden either.
