Tried a bunch of stuff, but that was some time ago, I do remember some white stick that the laser moved around on. I did get it to work for another week through tampering at one time, but it rapidly worsened again.
If you have any information that could be helpfull or links I would appreciate it.
I seriously dont hope they really believe this. I think it is just a way to show that they are on top of things, by banning random things that are vaguely connected to things people fear, the government can achieve two goals at once.
1: gain more power through law and 2: Get the support of the ignorant masses as they think it sounds like a good idea, which in turn also grants more power.
Mayby but I would much rather have more lacking cheat protection the totally shutdown hardware, I want to be able to use my hardware for whatever I want. Ofcaurse VAC cant get them all but it does get a good deal, the rest is really up to server admins to weed out, you can never get them all.
I dont know the speed of an Ion Drive but if you read his post, that is what he is talking about, not a chemical rocket, but a drive that spits out ions.
Integrity like scratching discs to unpreadability?
It's your own damned fault if you don't understand the physics of a spinning disk and try to reorient your Xbox 360 while a disk is playing. Maybe Microsoft shouldn't have made the Ring of Light adjust with the orientation of the console, as that would keep the sheeple from screwing up their games because they want to see the pretty lights. Not a design flaw (go try it with a PS2 -- you'll have the same problem. Nobody was ever stupid enough to do it with a PS2 because there is no Ring of Light on the front).
Call me stupid if you want but I have moved my PS 2 around alot while playing changing orientations a total of 360 degrees with a spinning disc and I would be willing to do it again always. The PS 2 dosnt have this problem, I dont have one scratch in any of the discs I have done this to. It is a design flaw not a normal thing.
You can cheat protect without making people unable to use their own hardware, how do you think Valve protect against cheats in CS? Not by locking down the game or your system, but by looking for known cheats. It is just a bad excuse to keep the consoles locked down.
Got exactly the same problem on mine, but once in a while a DVD will boot up and run fine untill I restart the console... It started doing this a few months after the warranty ran out.
The ones who see the Horde as evil is mostly 1 of 2 kind of people.
1: Those who played the earlier games before the Horde turned good. They were pure evil back then, with Necromancers, genocide, no mercy and the like, even the ret-con with demonic energies isnt enough to remove the evil stigma. Ofcaurse not all people who played from the beginning think this way but some do.
2: People who only played alliance in WoW.
If you look at Blizzards current portrayal of the Horde (as the article do) there is no reason to make these connections, but if you factor Warcraft 1 and 2 in, the horde is most definnetly more evil then the alliance.
Blu-ray/HDTV has nothing at all to do with PAL and NTSC. Blu-ray is a HD media and HDTV is just HD quality on your tv, these to dont compete, blu-ray actually depend on HDTV in some ways (to make it a more viable product). PAL and NTSC is 2 ways to do the same thing, 2 competing products or methods, so its like comparing apples to oranges.
Yeah I know, but I (as in the me right here) wouldnt experience those other branches so, there may be a me somewhere else going that way, but I wouldnt know about it and I could have gone that way in which case there would just be a me going in the other direction, so I still decide were to go in this reality even though another me is making another choice in another reality.
Even though all choices are made, wouldnt we choose which branch of the universe we want to be in by making a choice? Thereby free will still exists as to whether we want to go in one direction or another, but we cant choose that the other direction not to exist, as somewhere we will always choose that.
Couldnt agree more, thats why the only TV series I own is Stargate as they sell for around £22 on amazon.co.uk, I find that to be a fair price. I would never pay above £30 for a season, no matter how good it is.
Both Metal gear 2 and 3 uses them, for example in MGS 3 by varing pressure on the left analog stick and the O button you can do a bunch of stuff in close combat (like interogating enemies, killing them (with knife or snapping their neck depending on button combo), throwing them and more. When aiming a gun a light touch will aim it and a hard press will fire (same in 2). When getting up from prone position a light press will make you go into a sitting stance were a hard will make you stand up fully.
I have several games that use it, but usually it only gets used if the devs run out of buttons (it seems), which is ok as it is a bit harder to learn to use good.
An important part of nintendo's meaning with this name, is that anyone should be able to pronounce it, and that people should understand what the console is about just from the name. I dont know about the pronounciation, but I think they have failed in the understanding department, as almost everybody I have heard of say WTF?! when they hear the name, the only ones that dosnt, are people who were told almost in the same sentence what exactly Nintendo mean with it, and some even then.
In my opinion the name fails very much at what Nintendo expressed they wanted to do with it, the only thing positive I have seen them get out of it is ALOT of media coverage, and even that have been the bad kind.
Well the general attitude in Europe is that we shouldnt step in and prevent such things but let them run their natural course (I believe this myself, mostly). Ofcaurse Nuclear Weapons are dangerous, but IMO that is the only case where a country has the right do do anything. If another country's leaders are killing their people, it is the people that needs to rise up and do something, not some external power.
All in all the only time I (and many other europeans) agree to do anything about these things is if we are 100% sure that we ourselves are in danger from it. We were not in danger from Saddam any longer, the UN were looking out for him, Milosevic was an internal country dispute (which IMO another country should not go into), dont remember details about Khaddafi.
We shouldnt police other nations, they will never get it right if we do and most of the world will end up hating us for doing it (like the USA now). Most of the world isnt ready for democrazy and it isnt right to force them to use it as it just destabilize the country. The Iraqies isnt ready for Democrazy fx, it is easy to see by the way they react to choices, they still need to be told what to do (not because they are less intelligent but because of cultural stuff).
Sure the Germans started 2 World wars but even then we (most of europe) handled that the exact same way we handle stuff now, only do something if it is actually worth doing. For example my country (Denmark) did not try to defend against the German armies when they invaded (they took over the entire danish nation in less then a day) because we couldnt win and it would harm us more to try then not (from this we were able to negotitate some deals with the germans thereby allowing our Goverment to retain somewhat control for most of the war, the jews were safeguarded by our government a good deal of the war aswell plus some other stuff). We did on the other hand have a resistance movement which were much better at fighting the germans the our meager army would have been.

I gave up at the brown dragon in ToB, cant remember where exactly, but I never found out how to kill it, it seemed immune to everything but my highest rank cleric and mage spells and I didnt have enough of those to kill it. Never was good at killing Dragons though, all my other dragon kills consisted of throwing Cloudkill and hiding ^^.
Here the people who post the content actually lose something, the right to their content, where piracy as I suspect you are thinking about dosnt take the original owners right to his content away.
I am not saying I am pro piracy, but it is 2 different things.
You really think that a guy selling bootlegged software at a market in Moscow is the good guy?!
If he had just downloaded something and got caught for that I might have agreed, but not when he is actually selling the stuff to people on the street.

I wouldnt call my self an old timer (I am 18), but hen I see DOS I think Disk Operating System, when I see DoS or DDoS I think (Distributed) Denial of service. I still use DOS on some old machines though so might be why I still think about it.
Even though people may not use DOS so much anymore, the correct abbreviations should still be used for it, as it does help people understand what the hell you are talking about.
Indeed, I usually just call them and play stupid, tell them it dosnt work and they fix it for me... Intalled alot of systems from the same key/license that way.
There would only be an end if everything ended, at which point the dream would technically be fullfilled as it would be the end of forever aswell. Even if you don't agree with that it would be fullfilled due to having seen everything end. So its a moot point anyways.

I am really sad to see it gone, it is very usefull in driving games, yes alot of games it is useless in, but some I cant imagine without.
