Unlike traditional nuclear reactors the new micro reactor uses no control rods to initiate the reaction.
Anyone who knows anything about nuclear reactors knows that control rods certainly do not initiate reactions. They regulate or halt it by absorbing the neutrons that cause it. Maybe the author at "Next energy news" should become a bit more familiar with his/her subject before writing about it.
In the US civil court, it's a "preponderance of the evidence". In other words, whichever case proves more convincing. As you say, the BSA is not a government agency so their law suit would be in the civial court.
Actually, you'd be wrong. There are a number of terps available on the web. But seeing as how this is a competition which involves playing quite a few games thoroughly and judging them, maybe they don't want every brain-dead cretin like yourself voting on them.
The full name was Alternate Reality: The Dungeon. While the graphics may have suffered over the years, the gameplay didn't. I still play through to the end every couple of years on my Atari 800 emulator.
The second amendment has been, for quite some time, evaluated by the Supreme Court to guarantee the right of states to form a regulated militia for self protection of its people. Ie- your National Guard.
If this was true, you'd easily be able to supply a link to the Court's decision, since all these decisions are available online.
Except, if you try, you'll find yourself unable to locate such a link. Because no such SCOTUS decision exists.
You're very likely thinking of US v Miller (1939), which is what is always referenced in situations like these. Even more likely is that you've never actually read the ruling either.
Nope, you weren't the only one. While The City had its charm, The Dungeon was one of the greatest CRPGs of the 1980's and I'm still sad that the series died a premature death.
Complete and utter bullshit. Jack Thompson is an unethical ambulance chaser who has it in for the game industry. This is the lawyer, you might remember, who repeatedly called the DC police, insisting that the DC sniper was obviously a videogame player. Then he went on news programs, repeating these claims. (Strange, I never heard his retraction when it turned out the guy was just an ex-military kook.) Thompson has repeatedly lied about the contents of videogames and their relationship to marksmanship. He's a hack, a fraud, and I have to wonder how he stays in business considering he's never won one of these high-profile videogame lawsuits.
It's possible he rates GTA:SA higher because even though he prefers playing GS2 *now*, he knows that with GTA:SA's larger "scope" and greater "variety", it has a much better staying power in terms of keeping him entertained. So GS2 might burn out quickly, while GTA:SA could be considered the better value overall.
The CPL themselves, when they deigned to talk to us mere mortals, came across as arrogant, dictatorial, fickle and often highly irrational. They're intensely sensitive of criticism and think nothing of throwing their weight around. Fortunately, my direct dealings with them have been very limited, but I've heard frequent horror stories from players, sponsors and even those who won their competitions.
You couldn't be more right about that part. For a recap of what happened between our group and the CPL, check out part 1 and part 2 of the story.
Uh, if you were able to see that some companies had value, then obviously the bubble did have something solid at the center: those companies with real values and those under-valued companies. And you're denying that some smart people got caught up in the hype and lost money? I'm not sure which of his points you are asserting is "really wrong". Smart people do make stupid decisions from time to time.
When was the last time you saw a conservative question his party or candidate?
Almost every other week, when I read the latest issue of National Review. A conservative magazine that's not afraid to point out problems with Bush's policies.
How about some fact checking from the editors? Despite what the submitter wrote, this bill was not "passed", it was introduced. When a bill is passed... well, technically bills don't get passed, laws get passed. Bills get voted on and approved and become laws. If this bill had actually become a law, you can bet there would have been a HUGE outcry across the entire state, not to mention plenty of newspaper links on the local, state, and national level. So, yeah, this is a horrible idea, but let's not overreact, everyone.
You're proposing a browser that's not even out of beta for corporate use? I wouldn't consider that a particularly good idea. If they were going to change the name, doing so before 1.0 is the best time to do it.
The real shame of this "interview" is how all of his answers are so bland and cautious when it comes to Interplay. I mean, these guys have shot themselves in the foot many a time and it'll be a wonder if they're still around in 5 years, but Urquhart couches everything in such diplomatic terms in order to not ruffle any feathers. I can understand *why* he does it, but I don't have to like it.
That's the illusion. If you change it, 50% of your players will leave. Of the remaining 50%, half will complain you changed it to much, the other half will complain you didn't change it enough.
I seem to recall that this is the way that Homeworld worked. I haven't played Homeworld 2 yet, but I understand it works the same way.
Now Ground Control had all that, except that you didn't collect resources. Your units would gain experience, however, and carry over from mission to mission. As the game went on, you'd gain more.

I saw the same thing. This makes no sense if true.
They'll have to speak up in order to be heard over Mister Mossberg.

Yes, because we should all believe quotes when they come from third-hand sources.
Also, there's a bridge I want to sell you.

That's what we like to call a "slashfact". You get 1 guess as to what it's named after!

Just a possibility, I haven't played either game.

The rest of your post... it's just crap. Sorry.
In my opinion, C&C: Generals is the best C&C game since the original Command & Conquer.
I have to agree. Unless I *need* to see tables for a particular page, I'll stick to Lynx when I have to use a text-only browser.
