Haven't read the review because it is "mostly spoiler free," which seems to me like manufacturing something that is "mostly carcinogenic free." If someone has a problem with spoilers, it's unlikely they're going to read the review on the off chance you've only spoiled the stuff they didn't care about and not the stuff they did.
The issue isn't "how much RAM do I use" but rather "how much RAM am I going to hog if another program needs it." My browser could use all ~2 gigs of RAM on my computer for all I care as long as it releases it whenever something else requests in. In this respect I find Opera is far and away the best choice, although to be fair I haven't tried Firefox 3 yet.
They added a way to transfer HL2 and Episode 1 if you've already bought them. See this link. Also worth noting is the free copy of Peggle Extreme you get when you preorder.
Unfortunately, Opera does not figure out that you meant to click on "Preview" instead of "Submit." Sorry about the formatting. Here it is corrected:
In Firefox you automatically get a new tab with the search, which is what I want. Opera overwrites the page you were reading with the search. Other features work similarly. You can hold down alt or something and get what you want.
Hold down "Shift" in Opera to get it to open in a new tab. Similarly with bookmarks.
Firefox I middle click a bookmark in my bookmark bar and I get a new tab. Opera, nothing happens, if I left click it over-writes my current page.
Someone else replied to tell you how to turn this off. Alternatively, holding down shift opens it in a new tab.
Search in page. Firefox much better implementation with obvious highlighting.
I don't know what you consider a "much better implementation," but if you hit "," Opera will do an inline search on any links on the page, and if you hit "." or "/" (dunno what the difference is) it does an inline search on text. Both do quite obvious highlighting, unless you can't see bright green.

I sent in a $5 rebate for a joystick once. My name's "Danny." I got a check a few months later addressed to "David." (Same last name and all though.) Go figure.
What a messed up story submission. The headline and the last sentence suggest the article's about the demo, but everything else is referring to the retail game itself. To make it quite clear: the full game's available on Steam and will be unlocked on the release date. The demo's out in the wild and is available at the mirrors listed. I'd suggest waiting for the full version. All indications point to one of the best games every made.
You can tell the journalistic standards at the Telegraph are through the roof. From the article:
The force is due to neither electrical charge or gravity, for example, but the fluctuations in all-pervasive energy fields in the intervening empty space between the objects and is one reason atoms stick together, also explaining a dry glue effect that enables a gecko to walk across a ceiling.
This wasn't enough for me, so I wandered over to Wikipedia:
In physics, the Casimir effect or Casimir-Polder force is a physical force exerted between separate objects, which is due to neither charge, gravity, nor the exchange of particles, but instead is due to resonance of all-pervasive energy fields in the intervening space between the objects.
The only changes to the Wikipedia article lately have been a link to this article, which is sort of meta. Wikipedia linking to an article plagiarizing from, of all places, Wikipedia. Cute, but also a little sad.
Pirates of the Burning Sea looks like it's the most innovative MMO coming out soon, unless Garriot puts his money where his mouth is and Tabula Rasa turns out amazing. PotBS mostly does away with the grind, has a completely player operated economy and a player-driven world, and it certainly gets away from the tired fantasy setting and all that stuff. Finally, the gameplay's totally different from almost every other MMO. Stuff like EVE and a Tale in the Desert or whatever also break the rules; he's really complaining more about the trend, rather than about everything.
Also announced was Cisco's plan to gently ease consumers into the new brand with a line of "Linksisco" equipment during the transitional period. "We'll gradually reduce the name to Lisco and finally to Cisco," said one brand manager when asked to comment. "Hopefully people will just think their dyslexia's getting worse and they won't notice until it's too late."
Opera does this too. You can make your own; right click on any search field and click on "Create Search." I have "ma xxx" set to search Memory Alpha, "gv xxx" to search Google Video, "yt xxx" to search YouTube, "g xxx" Google, "gi xxx" Google Images, "wp xxx" Wikipedia, "d xxx" an online dictionary, "gr xxx" searches Gamerankings, "mc xxx" searches Metacritic, "imdb xxx" searches Internet Movie Database, "bt xxx" searches BitJunkie, and I can add any more when I feel like it. Pretty handy.

Clearly if you did not shoot anyone, nobody will ever shoot anyone, because all children are the same.
You're thinking of Asimov, unless Clarke wrote his very own Foundation series.
Now you just have to hope the Russian mafia doesn't break your legs!
Lucas released the original Star Wars movies on DVD when people started complaining that the Special Edition was the only one available.
Darwinia definitely has the kind of graphics you're talking about. CGI used for style, not just for kicks.

I like Opera, modo, foobar2000, VLC Media Player, 7zip, Pidgin, Process Explorer, uTorrent, TCPView, Foxit Reader, and WinDirStat.

Doesn't it worry you to have all your passwords and stuff being synced for you by a third party? Couldn't they look at them if they really wanted to?
Easily. You need Vista for Bioshock like you need a third leg for fishing. Like, you don't need it.

Jesus Christ, who modded this informative? It must be some sort of side effect of the mind control TV rays!

Valve/iD already updated the games with the required files. Old, incorrect news.

I think the ones sending the email scams actually already own computers. That's kind of how they do it.
I think I saw that movie. War Games, right?
You can turn off the dog really easily.

It's "Ray Muzyka," not "Ray Muzkya."
