Agreed, plus it would help to be very specific in your searches. Don't use 'credit' how bout, 'help understanding credit' etc.
As for the other post saying that you get too many shopping links when searching, last time I searched for quantum physics I didn't see much for sale just lots of info. But when I searched for iPods, amazingly more shops showed up.
The AI is great. I don't know if you're up to the part where you fight soliders but it is definitely a challange. I'm playing on difficulty level one up from the medium setting.
Amazing that it's running on a quake2 engine and has such good AI, etc. That and I can play it with 6X AA and 16X AF:)
everyone gets paid what they're actually worth as opposed to what they think they're worth.
Yeah those CEO's man, they're worth so much. Especially when they kill the business. They get even more money.
Are you a CEO? You get to decide what someone is worth? Cause I'd like to see you argue that you're worth X while another person is worth Y and that's how it should be.

I keep forgetting that artists don't create art because they are truely moved to do so. See I thought they did it because something in them made them want to enrich the world. Now it seems that they do it to to make themselves rich.
I'm not saying they should all be poor. But they can cry me a river as they live the life.
And if you're too stupid or lazy to say "weblog" and have to save two characters, then I guess it makes sense that you're too stupid and lazy to learn something as simple as HTML
Let's see how lazy you are for fun: I'm == I am = 1 character saved AOL == America Online = 11 characters saved It's == It is = 1 character saved you're == you are = 1 character saved you're == you are = 1 characters saved HTML == HyperText Markup Language = 22 characters
Total characters saved = 39 characters. Man you are off the scale.
*Please note this post was made in good humor, it's a Sunday.::)
I agree, just because you protest doesn't mean society should bend to your will.
What I want to see is footage of when the media says that the protestors got violent. I've been there when cops start getting way out of hand and the protestors push back. Then on the news it's reported as the protestors being violent and the reason why they were protesting gets lost. The footage shot by the phonecam probably won't change anything but at least I could see it from the street than hear it from the mouth of the media.
What I want to see is video from the people involved in protests. That's what this is going to be good for. I don't give a crap what the guy holoding the phone/cam thinks, but it will give me a view of an event the mainstream media might have glossed over. Things are so whitewashed it's ridiculous. Try watching the BBC vs any of the US channels. The US won't show anything that might upset us. That's not really telling the truth, it's just partial truths.
If you watch the extra stuff on the DVD you'll find that a lot of the computer aided stuff you probably didn't even realize had anything todo with computer graphics.
And, umm, did you read LoTR? Cause maybe you forgot, but there are battle after battle after battle in the books. Maybe you'd like a G rated version where Gollum is a carebear.
What's worse is what if random radiation reactivates the RFID but as something else. Say it shows up as a CPU rather than your sneakers. "Sorry sir we're going to have to perform a full body-cavity search"
The implications, however, in the post-Sept. 11 world, were enough to knock the wind out of John M. Derrick Jr., chairman of the board of Pepco Holdings Inc., which provides power to 1.8 million customers. When a reporter showed him sample pages of Gorman's findings, he exhaled sharply.
"This is why CEOs of major power companies don't sleep well these days," Derrick said, flattening the pages with his fist. "Why in the world have we been so stupid as a country to have all this information in the public domain? Does that openness still make sense? It sure as hell doesn't to me."
Why did these companies put it out on the web in the first place? Is it required by law to do so?
Sorry bout the typos, I didn't preview, obviously::).
I was taking the DMCA a step beyond. I was trying to invision a bill that companies might want to get passed. Could RFID tags be considered as technology to "Control Access"?. Now I don't know a ton about the technology, but what if you were feeling mischievous and wanted to change the signal that the RFID was sending out? Make my new sneakers show up as a new laptop, or whatever. It's my product, I'm walking around in a public place, could they charge me then?
My feelings on the DMCA, are that companies are a bunch of whiney bitches. I understand they want to protect themselves from lawsuit should someone misuse a product, and to protect their IP. But if you tamper with a product you generally void the warranty and it's out of the companies' hands anyway.
The worst case I can think of thus far is Sony cease and dissisting a website that told people how to modify their Abibios(those robotic dogs) to dance to Jazz. Yes they went around the code in the dogs to do this, but exactly how is that illegal? They weren't selling the info it was just part of a community that enjoyed Sony's products. Talk about stepping on your own customers.
Disabling an RFID will be tantamount to tampering with a product in a way it was not meant to be. Whether using the DCMA or some future bill it will become illegal to disable the RFID. You think I'm kidding, but I would not be surprised at all to hear this in the future.
Maybe though, the courts will recognize how utterly detremental the DCMA (and the like) are to this free society. Yes we give up a certain amount of privacy living in a free society(apologies for the American-Centric) but this does not mean that corporations have the right to track us or our products.
Bite me to any business that thinks I'll buy RFID products, I'll make my clothes out of hemp and be the nut in uncomfortable clothes if I have to be.
I recently saw in Popular Science I believe scientists who were going to use computer simulations to show people what the ocean looked like off of San Fran 100 years ago versus today (100 is what I remember). Just one tiny picture was all I needed to see.
Overfishing is a serious problem. I don't think people really understand how few of the popular fish are left out there.
Are we going to end up harvesting plankton a la SOylent Green?
It's not a question of wether Nature can bounce back, she can, and rather quickly, but the fishing has to stop for a bit. Unfortunately shortsighted people will continue to push for more fishing lanes.
The flip side of this is that fishermen have to eat and survive too. It's not as simple as telling them they can just up and get a job in an office.
So my question is, before I goto google for a bit, does anyone have any links to helpful sources for the preservation of our Oceans? It has to be done, and there has to be some way of keeping the fishermen paid. Does it require government subsidies? Perhaps, they'll step in way before a company offers to pay fishermen to stop fishing.
They are quite possibly the biggest providers of this so-called "information". Just wait till Congress outlaws this. Hope you guys have some good lawyers. I know who I'm suing first.
BTW I think I do qualify for this diagnosis. As well as an addiction to cookies. Mmmmm
That was back in the day. Check these numbers out.

I built a system for a friend with a nForce1 mobo, the sound is great, and before I gave it to him I ran a few tests with the sound enabled and disabled in Windows XP. Games ran practically the same. This is me just watching the FPS while playing instead of running an actual benchmark. So, my numbers might be a lil skewed, but my point is that the onboard audio didn't kill the performance.
Pretty soon you won't be able to go in with your retinas attached. Lest you see something and carry it out with you in your brain.
And GOD FORBID you go around telling people what you've seen. Yup, I for one am certainly glad that the Bush administration will be replacing all american eyeballs with gov't approved ones. Just so they can keep an eye on terrorists mind you. Not to invade your privacy, just the terrorists.
Of course it hasn't, last I checked we were still using a mouse and a keyboard as computer-human interfaces. The basic Point N Click GUI hasn't advanced much in what? 15 years?
We have back and forth and bookmarks etc and they stay around cause they are both recoginized and understood by web users annnd it just works.
If netscape had done something drastic at 4.5 and redid the navigation, even if it was better, IE would have slaughtered them even quicker by sticking with the back and forward buttons.
Let's not get carried away, KISS is still the rule (or it should be), we have the mouse and keyboard think how they best work with the user and wait patiently till there's something 1)Better 2) Adopted by the masses and 3) No it's not the PowerGlove. Until then I think navigation in browsers is fine.

download at least five songs, including Radiohead's ''Idioteque'' and Dave Matthews Band's ''Ants Marching.''
Bite me I own the CD's but don't understand how to make my MP3's. Someone did it for me though.
What would they say to that?
Agreed, plus it would help to be very specific in your searches. Don't use 'credit' how bout, 'help understanding credit' etc.

I would hope so, lest we be losing our collective powers!
What kind of graphics were these? They should have been already optimized to allow for quick loading.
Unless you're talking about high quality TIF's B&W vs. Color should not be making a difference in your load times.

Last note, tabs are cool I like them.
If you like Day of Defeat play BF1942. Same idea you respawn with reinforcements. Man I love that game. Try Desert Combat mod for some fun too.
