So does this mean that I can declare myself a sovereign entity and leverage fines on Microsoft too? I mean, just because they've been around for years before me doesn't mean that I can't make some new laws for my new governing body and then fine the hell out of them!
Seriously though, the EU has no credibility at all, and I don't see why America and companies put up with so much crap from them.
Most of the music files on the net are crap, either low bitrate or from bad sounding rippers. If you had the cd already, you could rip it with little to no effort in 2-3 minutes. Why settle for unknown and potentially bad quality when you can do it right yourself?
Only way I could buy that defense is if the original disc was damaged.
Frankly, they're only really good for making phone calls, and in a lot of areas around here, they're not even good for that. Just crappy battery powered paperweights. I really can't understand the popularity of the things. Who wants to be chained to a phone anyway?
There was an isometric one in the win9x days that Sierra published (I think) that was quite good, though different. I don't know if there's any sort of actual 3D one though.
I did about five and a half on only water, and it was crazy. On the fourth I started getting really cold and seemed to lose my body's temperature control. I finally passed out and collapsed when I stopped paying attention for a moment, leaned against a wall, and relaxed.
I had one of those when I was a kid, they're actually sort of entertaining. Pop guns are boring when built standard, but if you mess around with the idea a bit, you can get the things to fire marbles, or bolts. Then they become fairly entertaining, at least until you're old enough to handle a handgun. Hell, I built a pop gun from spare mechanical engineering project junk during my last year of college just to fire bolts down the hallway.
I've always had a sneaking suspicion that the 'ten finger system' is one of the causes of carpal tunnel in typists, since it requires a lot of horizontal finger movements without sufficient movement of the wrist/forearm. Seems to me that it requires a lot of tendon pulls that would be otherwise unnecessary if the forearm was moved.
The only reason I don't mis-hit N for B is that I use a natural keyboard. Not for the ergonomics, just because the keys are bigger and I like the giant control, alt, and spacebar. Now if only it had a suitably giant delete key...
You should go see it... its quite good; long, but paced fairly well. Unfortunately my favorite character died about halfway through. Its a far cry better than Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies, though he still has a tendency for facial closeups that last way too long.
If they did that, I might just bother to play it a bit, just to see it. I've been pretty disappointed with their new "lets make MMORPGs instead of games" agenda so far though.
Er, when you say the xbox is not hard to emulate, are you implying there are PC based xbox emulators? I'm interested if there are. I'd really like MS to release an official one in a year or so once the 360 is well established. That would kick ass, even if it meant I had to get an Nvidia card for video or something.
My contention is that you're a pompous ass. If you're truly not then I apologize, but you certainly come across as one. I do the same.
I keep Firefox around for Javascript debugging, and testing for compatibility. I just don't find it a pleasant web browser, and it gets pretty nasty if I leave it open along with other applications. Its by no means the worst offender on the multiple window thing, though. Photoshop is a good example of a terrible application, for that. Gimp, on the other hand, has a nice interface for very similar functionality. I just don't see why anyone would want an application where mutliple document windows can't be easily arrayed with each other or other applications, and aren't easily switched through alt-tab.
Makes me wonder how to order something like that securely (while assuming the site does keep records)... its easy enough to set up an email blind somewhere and negotiate with the site to pay/mail cash, but getting delivery is tricky if you assume they will keep the shipping address.
Ok, so how does someone outside discover my inside MACs in order to spoof one and gain access when my machines are gone/off?
Wouldn't they need to either physically breach the place (there are bigger problems than some wifi shenanigans) or have a trojan already inside that reports it to them/connects to the outside (my security is already breached through some other means)?
Personally, I'll be pissed if they switch to tabbed browsing. I like having separate window instances for separate documents, it makes them easier to manage.
Well, he's been in every DOA game, so he predates DOA4 and the xbox, but he is originally from the old arcade/NES Ninja Gaiden games, so DOA gets him from those. His current form (that does more than jump and stab) is from DOA though.
Hmmm... I'm probably wrong here since this isn't really something I know about, but isn't the MAC on packets available outside of the network the MAC of the router itself, and not of the originating machines?

The Alladin game on the Genesis was incredible too, though that probably had more to do with Shiny (back when they were competent) than Disney.
Funny that, every time I see or hear it I want to put a sharp pain into the offender's face...

"Knowmader" is officially my word of the day, thanks!
Wow, when I look at it that way, I'm suddenly a very interesting person! Can I re-write my resume this way too?
Common sense?

My job has degenerated into a pure coding job, and I'm considering it.
Wow, that second bit is the worst thing I've heard in weeks. That's truly awful.

There was a fad of razors as toys? You mean blades or shavers? Every kid (and adult) needs a knife, but they're tools not toys.

Hey, I'm with ya, man!

"Mostly harmless" would be good enough for me.
