I was looking for this post on Penny Arcade about people saying "M$" are idiots, but I only found the opposite.
Google caters to people's greed and ignorance (and the extreme type of such stemming from being "cool" - what's usually only gotten by the government or the news).
I checked my old comp, has office 97 - 50mb, but that is with only word and excel. I don't know about memory usage, but they load in <5 secs on it (p2 233mhz, 64mb ram, a really thrashing loud harddrive).
They worked for everything I wanted, usually just using excel for saving/finding quotes - which is a bit of problem as I can't find any option so it doesn't fuck up quotationmarks (either removing them or doubling them). Openoffice being the good clone works just the same.
(Oh and it works directly [except macros, boo hoo] just copying the folder to a new comp - only need to click away an errormessage when starting)
It instills fear, just like prisons. women need to be put in place. As one of my Aryan buddies always used to say, survival of the fittest is about raping as many as possible before your dick rots off and your brains fall out. Why waste your time! Invest in the love of Christ, The Lord will praise you. Inject Life and Love and Understanding and a future for our Stock Market.
HL2 tries to fix this by having the character "wobble" a bit
Unreal had the best animation of its time (and as happens often lately, in any time). The Nali cow really breathed, although the movement part was pretty primitive. Something beating that was the rabbit you met in the 2nd level, it squeeked and ran around randomly and hopped away if you got near.
Also of note are the Skaarj in the later games, sure, they had higher res textures/polys, but were turned into a stereotypical "fighter with armour", in Unreal they had a history.
What about sound? Music is used so much in movies to ellicit emotion, to make us "feel" what the characters are feeling - more realism. I hate this though, and it's only Miami Vice which has done it right, or rather - it just has good music, that fits with the atmosphere, isn't trying to force something out of you.
I'm reminded of a Cinderella documentary, where it was said something like "The more realistic they tried to make the characters, the more static/dead/unrealistic they looked".
No-one seems to like Nietzche here, and then philosphy applies to everything. So they're really missing out on things. What I do notice is the only targets of quoting is those constitution guys. Fuck you guys. This is after reading ~10k posts, so, fuck you guys.

Heh. I happened to skim, so I could of read this a million times without figuring out if you're sarcastic or not. I only have "please consider teaching us about BitTorrent because then donating isn't needed as the service is provided by the people" to add.
I tried to make winXP something else than the grey I use, some strong colours (ugh). Even if it happened to look good (not), it fucked up so many websites and apps, which rely on you having a grey/white (and with XP, slight yellow) theme. And it (the colour crap) took attention away from what I was trying to do, so crappy themes are just for people which don't use their computer for anything. (Sir that's logical, shut up. And then I look up, and see the "shitty slight yellow with grey" slashdot theme)

I've been so conditioned by all the detail-whining that I now think when people are talking (especially "your") if they misspelled it or not.
Uh, I'm confused on the numbers, but I'd do:
horiz * vert * channels * bits per channel * framerate / to bytes / to kb / to mb / to gb
7680*4320*3*8*60/8/1024/1024/1024 = 5,56gb/s
Notes:
* The sound shouldn't be forgotten though. Cd audio is 1411kbps, but it's with 12x more channels, so 16.5mb/s... which is forgettable in gb/s.
* Megapixels are a scam. Yes, it's correct if the image is B/W.

rather a condition of it

If Al-Queda wanted to cause a complete breakdown in the United States' economy
They would convert the oil-dollar to euro instead, good thing US stopped Iraq doing that.
all they have to do is send a few dozen Al-Queda guys with AK-47s, grenades and torches
Why am I reminded of Command & Conquer?
Me though have found enjoyable games lately by clicking random at underdogs.
This is like saying "is there any hope for indie websites?". Yes there is, you make good content, and people will visit it. Same with shareware.

That's not the right attitude.
You'll get that attitude after reading the reply to the FAQ question Why is my Profile page suddenly messed up? It has music, sound or strange graphics on it?

Trying .J2K out in Thumbs+ (I know, really professional) I've found it to be really slow.
Here, an incredible ten 1600x1200 24bit pics average loading time test:
png = 0.26s
j2k = 1.64s
Maybe if there was a "compressionless" option.
After being a frugivore for a month, my research told me milk tastes like rotten water diluted with some fat.
Well, I happen to sound boring / braindead here. I could link that, but it probably sounds pretentious, so I lose.
