A speed camera does nothing to stop a car doing 200 in a 40 zone
A camera does nothing at all, by the time the second flash occurs the car is already out of the camera's area, so they can't verify speed. Of course, you do have to be travelling at 200 mph...
Off games, they technically are making a profit on games, its just the actual console that makes a loss. I always found that strange because I thought selling something cheaper AND at a loss against a competitor was grounds for antitrust or similar for trying to force competitors out of the market. Though its likely Im not a lawyer for a reason.
Really? Mostly to me the story looks like "Actually, we have cracked the skype encryption, but say we'll the opposite in hope that the bad guys believe us and start using it..."
Forced through tubes? So basically too many bee's cause the tubes to jam up? So bascally what we are trying to avoid is bees in swarms entirely? Because as far as I can tell I've avoided contact with swarms of bees due to a healthy regard for my own well being...
If you don't believe you have ultimate control over what ruins you and what doesn't, you've already lost the game
Life isn't a game, shit happens, you might not be able to control it, example, a WW2 Lancaster Bomber, as part of an air show, gets lost, flies around, then crashes into your house while your writing about "The Game".
Is it possible? Only very very remotely, but short of you controlling your life by installing some sort of aerial threat defense system on your roof (the very likely and legal of things in the world of ever possible to happen-ness), its fair to say theres still something out of control in your life.
Your mum should have taught you that, you can't control the bus that hits you, but you can control the fact you wore clean underwear that morning.
I don't know, seemed to me you could be near as evil as you wanted, but then choose not to kill your sister and get the good ending, if I recall you could do the same in KOTOR which came before, so being good or evil didn't change alot. Infact the only game I can think of were it mattered was abes odessy/exodus (I forget which one, though more likely exodus), were if you didn't save enough/killed too many murdokons (sp?) they would vapourize you in the final cutscene, so the only way to get the "good" ending was not to kill your fellow murdokons, no matter how funny it is.
Too bad that Apple has supported HD access without booting for years. Firewire target mode, and SCSI target mode before that.
Too bad Apple never supported it via USB then eh? What with USB being widely more available on say, your friends/parents/co-workers/public computer as opposed to firewire.
I remember way back reading Blues news and loonyboi had this new game from Bungie, how great it was going to be and it was comming out on PC next year.
Then you are mistaken, Halo was orginally meant for the Mac, though it may have been released for the PC at a later date like Marathon 2.
Ah, but it doesn't mention if USB 3.0 will work with USB 2.0/1.1/1.0, 2.0 work on 1.0, at a slower data rate mind. Suppose if 3.0 will be dependant on fibre, or just use it where available.
No no, your quite wrong, it appears we lost a year of our lives between the headline and the summary, something to do with quantum thingymajigs. I'd be outraged but its likely slashdot has already took few more years than that in anycase.
...we could figure out a way to convert the profanatory output of a 13 year old whilst playing over Xbox Live into energy, not only could such devices power the Xbox and TV used, it is quite possible we could meet the power needs of several rather large cities.
Maybe, but its only meh if you believe it to be the Godly of Gods of God's Godly Gaming Heaven. The halo games have been "pretty good", sure its no Unreal, but its easier to have a few fun games of it when your mates are around, and yes no keyboard and mouse, but using a pad (In my opinion) levels the playing field a bit, lord knows I was always the fragee and not the fragger when I first started playing the likes of Quake 2 online, and maybe the story line isn't the most compelling (Yes yes, read the books, I have, though most don't so I'll pretend I didn't), but it gives me enough reason kill aliens, and quite frankly The Maw (Hitch Hikers may be escaping convicts I think, the last part anyway) had nothing really to do with the storyline at all, why the hell would you escape a ship you've set to explode (And lets face it, if you've not read the books you're escaping to a pelican that'll keep you alive 5 minutes longer) in a 4 by 4? Running along the most illogical internal structure for a ship? It boggles the mind as to why you would, but its damn fun when theres 2 of you trying to escape in seperate warthogs and you only keep flipping over cos your mate keeps ramming you.
But maybe thats just me, for a game you can pick up and play, then but down till whenever its fantastic, its not really improved on golden eye we used to waste hours on, but its not worse either and it allows us to have more than 4 players if need be (Though it doesn't let us play with proximity mines, which you use to baricade the toilets (where they spawned as I recall) by tactically placing them as to kill anyone getting in, but not allowing them to shoot them easily.
And on a side note, I've always wondered has anyone tried running 2 UT (GOTY) clients on the same computer and trying to have multiplayer on the same computer, never have got round to trying it now I have 2 graphics cards in this thing.
No, no its not, when it starts getting shipped as the default OS on the majority of computer sales to home users, then is the time to run up the "Year of Linux" flag.
Sony did something stupid - include a landmark owned by a church in a videogame of theirs without getting prior permission.
As far as I am aware its a landmark, but it is a public landmark, for which you don't need permission to take pictures of etc, and likely the reason the COE hasn't done anything legally about it on the grounds it would get them no where. In anycase all you do is fight aliens in it, and is by far the most exciting thing ever likely to happen in a church.

Either that or you just didn't notice it on the grounds she was blind drunk.

Sure does.
I think this is closer to the truth.
Too bad that Apple has supported HD access without booting for years. Firewire target mode, and SCSI target mode before that. Too bad Apple never supported it via USB then eh? What with USB being widely more available on say, your friends/parents/co-workers/public computer as opposed to firewire.
No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

Please, my po.. er... some peoples porn collections are bigger than that!
Finally! A Slashdot story we can all relate to!

You know, if you interchange microphones with keyboards one might wonder why your on slashdot at all...

Are you meant to do that? If so it might explain this horrendous stomach pains I've been having.
"I'm sorry but theres only one possible answer to all this"
Ninjas descend from ceiling and take a stance.
"Round one! FIGHT!"
[Much later]
And then, just as it seemed the fighting would come to a conclusion, a ship flying a skull and cross bones moored at the local pier...
With what Sony has done in the past, I'd be inclined to believe they killed for it:p
By invention again, except you put T2 BPC's in and (hopefully) get T3 BPC's out. Atleast thats the last I read.
