I really hope it's just patent protection. Its probably cheaper to patent something like this than to have someone else do it, and then pay your army of lawyers to fight off the lawsuit and get the patent overturned.
Serious Sam HD The Second Encounter also offers co-op and is mostly a run and gun game. It's a minimum of story, and a lot of blowing shit up. Not sure if the first encounter has co-op as well, I only have the second because it was on sale after a free weekend.
Just curious, when you log into the Verizon wireless website, under your data usage, does it list your monthly allowance as unlimited or as 5GB? After reading this story, I logged in to see what was listed, and for my Droid it has an unlimited cap.
Fun fact. A Ford F150's trailer hitch is at the right level to go over the bumper, but under the hood, of a Ford Focus. This has the effect of hooking the radiator and putting it on top of the engine, instead of in front of the engine where it belongs. This makes a low speed crash (under 15 MPH) cost well over a thousand dollars to fix.
That's why you don't add them directly to the game. The flesh beast plays the role of the glorious Overlord, who is playing as one of the lesser races. It'll keep the batteries occupied for a while while they generate the delicious electricity to power the world.
ISS will exit Earthly orbit and head off into space
HAH! They're learning how to spend their money wisely. Not only do we no longer have to support the ISS, we also get to take credit for the first ruskies on Mars AND we get a good laugh at Russia's expense.

I know Winamp was (is?) like that. When you adjust the volume, it adjusts the Wave output in Windows. This is fine if you're using Winamp all the time, but if you switch to another media player (I used to be a big fan of The Core Media Player until it died), you're left with turning your volume to max and still not being able to hear anything.
I just got into reading Zelazny after someone posted a link in another/. discussion to "For a Breath I Tarry". There is some author background in the first book his collected works. In it, it is detailed that a lot of the fight sequences are detailed and realistic because he was physically awkward growing up, so he spent time fencing and doing various martial arts (details are fuzzy, and I don't have the book on me at work). This lead to him giving a bit too much attention to detail on some fight sequences.
Is this the next level of the Cash For Gold commercials that seem to be everywhere? Buy gold off of people at a ridiculously low price,s melt it down, resell it at a stupidly high price, and the keep repeating the cycle.
Maybe they'll do a money grab like the start of "I Am Legend" where they hotrod around in a Mustang for the first five minutes and then you never see the car again for the rest of the film.
That's true. With the new strips that have circuit breakers it might be a lot less likely for any of them to short out and cause a fire.
Fire code, however, still frowns on the practice. Stringing together powerstrips, or powerstrips with extension cords are a good way to fail a fire inspection. I suppose they keep the law that way either due to lack of initiative to change it, or because there's no guarantee that the breakers will always function correctly (either due to a defect or poorly aging), leaving you in the same situation as having the old timey strips.
It could easily kill you if you start chaining power strips together trying to set up a beowolf cluster of these. Chained power strips is a fire hazard.
I've got to ask about your clipboard comment. I can agree with your other comments about Linux/Unix (or at least agree on them enough not to argue, since things like ease of use vary from person to person), but the comment about the clipboard got stuck in my head.
Just a brief rundown on Windows versus Linux, since I never considered the clipboard as anything more than a convenience that usually doesn't get in my way.
They can check my credentials all they want. They just have to fight their way past my legions of lesser robots, my eight larger robots (they command other robots, so I'll call them Robot Masters). At that point, they'll be inside the shop, and they'll have to fight a giant robot, copies of the first eight robot masters, and then me in my robot suit.
Probably because the easiest way to get your dose of Japanese culture was via computer (ten or fifteen years ago). Around that time, computers were not still widely available.
I'm not sure which came first. The love of Japan turned people into nerds so they could get their fix, or if nerds turned into Japanophiles when exposed to Japanese gamma radiation (manga, etc).
Online is still the easiest way, but you can also find anime or manga in stores or (in the case of anime) on TV. So in the younger kids, you'll see less of computer nerd/Japanophile combinations.

You could take a picture and you'd immediately know where the book you're looking for is.

Weren't there studies done that show most bathrooms (maybe not public ones...) had less bacteria than most desks in people's offices?

Only then, can justice be served!
If this is true, I can finally play my Night Elf Mohawk on my Sorny computer system?
