Not to mention everyone who bought Halo 2 would be extremely pissed when they're expected to lay down another $50 for Halo 3 just to finish the plot, only 3 months after buying Halo 2. I'd be pissed too.
I like the idea of new missions. They might be "Premium Content", but releasing a whole new game only 3 months later is insane... which game would you play on XBox Live? Would there be a difference between the two? They'd both use the same engine etc, so if Halo 3 had more vehicles and stuff for multiplayer, it would just be a back-stab to all the people who bought Halo 2 before then.
My current MP3 player has only 32 meg on it... it goes for about 2 hours until it has to repeat on 32 bps. 256 meg would be a miracle for me... if it didn't look so freaking dorky.
Music has a sort of "soothing" effect I guess. I work best when I'm listening to my favorite genres. It may be mindless noise, but it helps me, and it releives boredom.
I don't swim, but I can't see swimming for 4 hours straight, lap by lap, to be extremely exciting.
And what do you mean you "can't even go swimming without having your mp3 collection zapped into your inner ear"? I still do. I go to classes without music. Listening to music for me at least is a choice.
I am only a teen, but I got myself an ID card before I got my drivers liscence for my job... since I have an ID card and no other person my age has any form of ID yet, I would have an advantage: I could buy any game I want, so long as the clerk thinks I'm old enough for it, while all my friends would need either me or their parents to buy it.
If you required someone over 18, say, to be present is one thing. But to simply require some form of ID is stupid. If the US required IDs to get games, I would of gotten one when I was much younger.
20 minutes? I know friends with WinXP that have never turned on any security, and may have even downloaded spyware, that haven't yet been comprimised. As a matter of fact, I know of one instance that a WinXP was comprimised, over 100 box-years.
What is more fanlike than wanting to see the game as early as possible?
Yes, you are a fan. But you are not a true fan. What he was saying is that a true fan would buy the product to help the manufacturer.
If I were them, I'd delay the game for about a month, then sue the ******* out of every person who downloaded it. Eventually a few morons will have to try to play the crack on Xbox live...
Just think, $100,000 per person... just sue like 10 people and you got a million right there, if they can pay.
They didn't LIE. They just took some doubtful intelligence and decided to give it the benefit of a doubt. The aluminum tubes could have possibly been used as a centrifuge (the news article doesn't say that it is impossible for them to be used like that).
Besides, the article says that it was caused by...a persistent failure in the Bush administration and among both Republicans and Democrats in Congress to ask hard questions. Sounds like everyone messed up, not just Bush.
The article says that international rules prohibited Iraq from importing certain sizes of 7075-T6 aluminum tubes. Doesn't sound like he was supposed to have the tubes, whatever he was going to do with them.
Also, it may just be coincidence, but the tubes' dimensions matched those used in an early uranium centrifuge developed in the 1950's by a German scientist, Gernot Zippe. Most centrifuge designs are highly classified; this one, though, was readily available in science reports.
That page assumes a 0 dose equals 0 risk philosphy, which is incorrect. Take, for example, heat. 1,000 Kelvin will kill you. Therefore, 0 Kelvin is perfectly safe.
Things taken in extreme may be dangerous. Boiling hot water can kill you, but soaking in a hot tub may be relaxing.
Professor T.D. Luckey, from the University Of Missouri, demonstrated that increased radiation above the background level increased the vitality of subjects from bacteria, to plants, to even vertebrates. They lived longer, got sick less often, grew bigger faster, and they produced more offspring. See "Hormesis With Ionizing Radiation" from CRC Publishing Co, by T.D. Luckey.
What if I'm really not sure about those dolphins in aquariums? They could be terrorist splinter cells... Should I just go and shoot them all because I'm not sure, just to be safe?
I've never used FireFox, but I beleive then the Default Download Directory would be wherever the Save As... dialog box shows first (be it My Computer, C:/, My Documents, etc).
Just because the cancer rate rose doesn't mean it's from the ozone hole. The United States also has a similar cancer problem, and we're not close to either pole.
And no, the background radiation does not cause cancer, or at least it doesn't at the current dose you're getting. It's not a 0 dose, 0 problem correlation. Too much radiation can kill you, but people in higher background radiation areas (e.g. mountains) live healther lives than elsewhere, with fewer instances of cancer.
If only Microsoft followed the W3C in web page parsing and also got rid of all those other technologies (like ActiveX). What advantages would FireFox/Netscape have that Maxthon doesn't then?
It still is that way. My grandmother got a Dell recently, and was stuck with AOL for 12 months, Dell Music Match, and a slew of other programs she would never use. Now she's stuck trying to figure out how to get rid of all of them.
I build my own computers (rather than buy them from Dell), and without built-in WMP or IE, I would have to "fire up the ftp from command line", and download them both.

Flamebait... sounds good. I'll have to use that word sometime.
I've never used FireFox, but I beleive then the Default Download Directory would be wherever the Save As... dialog box shows first (be it My Computer, C:/, My Documents, etc).
Hmm... I guess FireFox isn't the bug-free non-Microsoft browser to have, now is it?
Time to find another one... they might have to release another patch someday y'know!
