Yep, this experiment has a sample size of 1 case, so you can't even make an average let alone perform useful analyses of it. Unfortunately, to joe public, a sample size of 1 (AKA an anecdote) is enough evidence to base their bias on. The media know this so they'll milk it for all it is worth.
There should be some Command and Conquer in your list of games. The C&C games have shaped the RTS genre for a long time- but then again you might not like that type of game. For the XP generation it should include some of the Total War series, more highly ranked than Rome was, and maybe the first warhammer game.
I just moved out of a place in Edinburgh where I had 2mbit down/256k up from blueyonder broadband. We transferred over a TB in torrents, and god knows how much in websites last year and they didn't even blink. Not only that but if you have a phone line from them, customer service is free to call iirc, and they're really good. The 3 for £30 package is ace too. Cable TV, broadband and a phone line with free weekend calls. I just wish we weren't about 200m too far from their area in this new place...
Now we have Tiscali, and I've never had the download on a 2mbit line maxed out. It sucks.
I think a more obvious question to ask about sending all the gas to Mars is: will Mars be able to retain the gas for a significant enough time to make this idea worthwhile?
Subjects such as this make me wish I had chosen a rudimentary biology class in my first year of University so I could have a small idea of what exactly they are talking about in biological subjects.
I only ever completed "Psychic World" by using the cheats... what was the technique for defeating that big red brain/spaghetti thing that had the sister trapped and under its control?
Getting the cheats was hard too... accomplished by reading friends' gaming magazines cos i was too young to afford my own. And we had no internet.
From what I've read about Rag Doll Kung Fu it isn't actually based on the Source engine, but is in fact a standalone game. The only thing it has to do with Source is it being available through Steam.
Guess what, there's already a fix for this. They put out their product, and it turns out the one you got was faulty. Can I hear anyone say 'warranty'? Yes that's right, this xbox360 isn't even out of its warranty peiod yet, so he can fling it in the post to microsoft, or his local retailer, say that it is faulty (the power supply problem is more than well known enough now) and receive a brand new one.
I hear most warranties on electronics in America are really short, like 30-90 days, but that hasn't even passed yet so this guy has no right to complain.
Heh, in a hospital local to me (UK) the only benefit privately insured patients get over NHS patients is the chance to have an appointment outside of the usual 9-5 range so they don't miss their job. There's no real additional benefit unless they are actually off for a non-essential procedure which would probably ahve to be done somewhere completely different so it didn't cut into time spent making sure Mr. and Mrs. X are ok. These appointments aren't anything to do with the private insurers, it just depends on whether the staff want to serve the private patients, who tend to be pushy, impulsive, arrogant and generally obnoxious compared to the normal patients.
I think private patients get the raw end of the deal sometimes.
aaaah, now i see.
I remember having a game of life thing on my parent's first computer (a Packard Bell) and playing around with the patterns to see what worked, but never on the scale the website you linked to did.
I played Darwinia recently which would occasionally show a game of life type intro with randomly generated start populations. Brought back good memories, and would often reach higher numbers of different generations of 'darwinians' (instead of dots) than I could in my youth, with the Packard Bell program...
Well, I certainly don't. What game are you referring to? (I'm going on a wild assumption that it is a game, but on/. it could be anything... (also I'm quite drunk.))
Do you happen to know any programs that work on windowsXP that will allow this? I've tried media player, but it transcodes to.wma, and iTunes doesnt even recognise the device as being connected. Don't get me started on sony's transfer software, it just sucks- doesn't support syncing of playlists which would have made the entire process easier than what i do just now...
You could have the electrodes a particular colour and edit them out just like how they use green- or blue- screens in television for subjects such as the weather.

I wrote to them saying I only use the TV for console gaming- been waiting over 6 months for their inspection now. I doubt they will ever come...
And just realising that I need to consider the return time too, making it 1600 minutes. I'm silly sometimes.
IIRC the earth is about 8 minutes from the sun, so 100AU would be around 800 minutes, right?
We only had one outage in the entire year. The day they quadrupled our download speed, for no extra cost. That was a great day.

Wow, that is a damn cool piece of software.
You, sir, are such a troll.
Brain in chest? Nice idea but last I heard the brain doesn't like getting squashed. Where would we move the lungs to to stop this?

You must have the hard disk to play games marked as backwards compatible, the core system will not play original Xbox games.
Well, under 100% oxygen it would be really hard to combust anything... because there's nothing to combust!

Not only that, but how many of the games mentioned have anything at all to do with EA?

Really? You misspelled 'loses' in your post. ;-)
That's the thing- 4-5 long writes a day, when compared to the hundreds of thousands of writes possible to any sector of the flash disk is miniscule.
