There could be a zillion possible reasons, including:
- lightsabers might block stun blasts just as well
- range, accuracy and effectiveness) of stun mode could be unusable in real combat
- the jedi could be immune to the stun blasts (the force) (although I think it would take quite a jedi to withstand a lot of hits. they aren't all-powerful after all) etc.
You play NFS and think that running into something at 100mph sorta dents your car
Actually, I'd say the one thing NFS teaches well is that when you race at 100mph or more through narrow streets with traffic all around, you *will* hit something sooner or later.
If you're sitting behind a NAT the other peers can't connect to you and yes, it's fairly common to get low download rates. Forward a few ports to that Mac (and set the BT client to use them) and it should get a huge boost. (nb. some clients, like bittornado, have this statuslight that's yellow if no clients ever connected to you (=bad) and green if everything's okay. Don't know about other clients though.
This is not about having public variables, this is about simplifying the syntax a little bit, so you can do c.var = x that works like c.var() = x or c.setvar(x). I don't see it as something so *wrong*.
Ah yes, and why bother with that fancy "operator overloading" concept, after all you're just calling a function, and add(a,b) isn't much more typing than a + b... right?
If you have a lot of code that uses c.var = sth and such, and suddenly you realize you need to do some checking on the value passed, then you can't just add the code to the class, you need to change the interface so it's actually a function. The property stuff I'd really like to see.
Well, you can always sniff if there's *any* info being sent back at all - and if there's none, you're fairly safe. And to be honest, it would be really silly if Nessus tried to phone home with anything (silly as in the company shooting its own foot).
I can't see how carrying a gallon of ethanol while being on vacation is a bad thing. Though I'd prefer it to be somewhere around 40%, and I probably wouldn't use it to power my laptop:)
On a side note, it's methanol, not ethanol. Oh well.
On the other hand, if you are looking for help at some forum and you describe the problem *without* giving your full specs (down to ram speed and power supply fan color), then guess what the first (and probably only) reply will most likely be?
What are your specs?
Slashdot Mirror
I'd assume that the source you're refering to was a sort of BS^W speculation.
Your links're broken, somehow. It should be just http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ and http://freshmeat.net/projects/sdl_sopwith/

IMO, the theme *screams* for a X-COM clone^W^W squad-based tactical combat type of game. With lots of RPG elements, nonlinear, open gameplay...
Not that I wouldn't enjoy a Stargate FPS, especially one geared more towards system shock (in terms of problem solving for example)
Information wants to be free, but it also wants its original author(s) properly credited (as in at least mentioned *somewhere*).

0. Our CPUs can count to 10, honest!
Too bad they don't write a thing about DEcompression speeds. I'd say it would in many cases be more important tha the compression speed.
'Smaller countries', like, say, China?
And will also match random non-ad content, will it not? No thank you, I'll stay with my block-it-when-I-see-it (so I never see it again) routine.
Yeah, it's like the Slashdot crowd mods TFA '+5 (Insightful)', but H.C. just says '-1 (Offtopic)' since it doesn't fit her point of view.

I'm afraid it's 5 seals remaining. Don't forget that Slashdot fixed it's HTML.

It's "Chewbacca". Better don't piss him off by misspelling his name ;)
"Inexpensive" computers, you say?
It's simple - you fork. OSB-Lager, OSB-Ale etc...

The Brits don't have a constitution. Yes you can live without one.
