Thanks for the great responses. I have been planning on hacking a game together like this and with some of your responses, this will help me see where to start!
Again, thanks for the time spent on these responses..... So un-Blizzard like!!
IF I was trolling, I wouldn't be using this account, like you obviously. The comments I made in previous posts were not off topic, and they generally answered the parent poster, or made a New observation/comment. And if you did not feel it was interesting to you, it doesn't make it trolling.
Be careful what you post on Slashdot. 1 bad post and there goes your karma.
Don't I know it, I did 1, just 1 post of a "First Post, and eventhough I have written a bunch more comments that actually had merit, I am DOOMED to have a -1 Terrible Karma!!!!!
I mean what's the point to post if noone will ever see it..... Just like this reply I am typing won't be seen by anyone.
Obviously, if Microsft is making a claim like this they are wanting it to be hacked. This now brings up the question, are they placing some hardware/software to try and track this implementation, or some other dastardly deed?!?
Legion of Superheroes was actually the justice league of the future, like in year 2499 or something. There was a problem that happened in the future and they sent back the current Krytonian Superman back in time to get superman to help them. I think a few more JLA'ers went to this future time also. Then the LoS started their own series that lasted a few years. I am not sure if they started in the late 70's or early 80's but I collected them for a few years.
Oh My gosh, This is my Mother! She has been like this since she was a child in the early 1930's! She hears some off hand comment on the radio, and she is immediately thinking she has this disease. Heck when I was a kid we were not to be out on the weekends past 5 Pm because the "Evil Spores" would come out and infect us. haha!!
Heck the doctor appologized to my dad that it was costing us so much for her visits.(Doctor is a long time friend of my dad, they grew up best friends).
I brought the movie Joe Somebody, over to her house to watch a year or two ago, and She thought she had some of the symptoms that the drug that they were manufacturing caused! Heck, she even believes ALL email Urban Legends! And that is even after showing her the reality of them in sites like http://www.snopes.com/
Both what you and MynockGuano wrote clears up a lot for me. I tried Linux about 8 years ago, both RedHat and Suse but because of lack of time and family needing computer was forced to not get to learn it well enough. So now that everyone has their own computer in the house, I am thinking about trying it out once again.
I will probably try out Ubuntu, thanks for the recommendation! And I will check out the distro site you referenced. Do oyu know if I can get this as a live cd? Ahh but I guess I hopefully will be able to find that out on the distro site. Where I am I do not have access to get to a lot of sites, so I cannot RTA here, but have to wait till later tonight to finally do that.
I am wanting to learn more prior to entering the Linux world, but without doing a Google search, can you please explain/tell me what is the difference between apt-get and RPMs??
Also what is a "ricers"?
I am actually getting roughly 12 to 18 movies a month from Netflix. I live out in the country, right now and do not have much social activity, so my 17.99 3 rentals at a time come and go pretty fast. I have a 1 day lead time. I send today, they get it tomorrow, and the next day, I get my selections. So I go only 1 day a week without a movie, two if I send it on Saturday.
Now this is all well and good, but if there was a quicker, even easier way to download the movie for easier on demand movie viewing, I would do this.
The other thing I would like to see in this vein is an online Game rental that is more like NetFlix and less like GameFly. Gamefly (21.99 for two games at a time) in my area is a 4 day send, 4 day return time, so If I send a game back to GameFly today (Thursday), I would not get a replacement game until Saturday the following week at the earliest.
The question I asked them was How is Netflix able to do this, but you are not. They would not give any rational answer other than, "hey we are paying for the postage!"
Sorry, I do not see that as something different.
Back to the subject at hand. I think this is a great opportunity to nip the **IA in the bud by allowing thisa beforehand and have an Actor at the forefront also helps and will allow other actors to at least give a consenting support.
I say let the Legal Downloading of Movies Begin!!
Besides, by the time movies are set for rental release, I am tired of waiting and want it out now. Plus I do not want to spend time in jail or have to pay some huge settlement fee to just watch it on my computer, and early for that matter!
My wife loves the game City of Heroes, and we plan on getting City of Villans! We like playing this superhero game, because we always know when we will be on and having a permanent team member can max out your possibilities. We have played two Kheldians and when we attack, noone else can really get a shot in. The attacks are devastating!
When CoV comes out, we will have an advantage of having a permanent team of bad guys. You have one be the tanker and the other be the damage dealing blaster/whatever. This will be a big advantage, since how it is set with the mindset,"I am a bad guy, so I will rob you single other badguy!". We won't be picked off as easy and will make it easier for us to get the advantage!
This is shown/spoken in the Lucas approved Clone Wars produced on Cartoon Network. It was mentioned in either Episode 2 or 3. It is brought up in the game Lego Star Wars. It is also the required steps to become a Jedi Knight in both KoToR and KoToR2. It is part of the training to be able to be a padawan (sp?) and then a Jedi. All Jedi's have to do this as the 2nd to last step in becoming a Jedi.
In Clone Wars from Cartoon Network, They had specific Jedi watching caves where the gems were grown, and each color had a different rank/class. I do not remember which, except Purple was for the top Master Jedi, hence Mace Windo's Purple Lightsabre.
This is Great! I have been doing this for 2 years and it has helped me decide If I want to go and buy the game long before I actually paid for it!!
It is also helpful to see if the reviews for a game are actually truthful or just meaningless propoganda!! Check out your closest Library for the Gems waiting for you!
What you need to be able to do is;
1) setup Skype/Vonage/any other VoIP account on it,
2) Have it detect intruders,
3) Call cops 911(if it is setup), all the while taking footage of the intruder for future use in court.
Also another use could be to increase motor strength and have it lug the garbage out on trash day, or even a sinister thing have him perform spying and espionage. I guess if you are really bad.. have him steal, since he is too small and too cute for people to believe it is stealing.
Sorry, I need to place a comment here. SAG merged with SEG about 22-24 years ago. I know this because I have been a member of SAG since 1978. The members of SEG or some people called them RAG were the actors that performed on Radio, primarily for their voice talents. If there was a distinction today that would divide SAG into who is capable of what, that would make it easier. I know of a few Big Ticket SAG members that would NOT and DO NOT do well in the voice acting medium. But since we want Big Ticket people to perform these, for the Big$$ payoff (they are hoping), they will hire their "name".
I hope this clears up a few things and gives you an idea what they have to work with.
To continuously keep the boat floating that is exactly what you do! If someone has a product better than you, and there is free reign to compete, and you have the engineers/developers/coders to do it. Go and grab the existing non-proprietary(open) code, and see with this expansive expertise and invest in finding out what would make the existing product better. Then like MS does, patent the new part of the code and make it available to everyone!! (for a small cost$$).
Is unfounded! Most Americans who travel to other countries have business to do there! Not just vacation/drunken parties like going to daytona beach! They are there being curteous to the native people and would like to blend in. But because of generalities.. we are treated as the scum of the earth, when doing anything except buying ($$). I have been there many times before being in the military, in the military and since being out of the military. There are good people and there are rotten apples. If you think that only rotten apples go overseas, then you might as well agree with the GP that all yanks (most americans) are crap.
just my 2 cents.
Actually, this is the way Commodore decided to advertise the Amiga. It was an outstanding computer system,, starting to take on Hollywood with the "toaster" (the basis of most CG today) and could function as both a Mac and a PC. But there was a parody on the comercial, basically stating it was ONLY a game computer. With in 3 years, Commodore of America, closed down and then left to go to europe where at the time, it was the #1 selling computer there. (If I remember correctly).
Well, if I recall right, the President can only be re-elected once in any consecutive manner. So that the President can be elected for four years, re-elected another four years for Eight total, and then take four years off and then run again for another two terms, if elected. Totalling sixteen out of twenty years the elected official can be President. Didn't this happen to Grover Cleveland?

My girlfriend bought me..... ....playing Warcraft, he buys me more video games because I like them. Plus she'd prefer
So, is your girlfriend a HE or a SHE or an IT??
Sorry, couldn't pass it up!! =-]

No, They are gonna be happy playing their TurboGraphix16. Because there is no game better than Bonk!

Yep When I went to school inPhoenix, Carl Hayden was known for at least 1 if not 2 Kifings, or shootings a week!
