The Gamespot review of Quake said there were big issues with the framerate, so either you are both suffering from heating issues, or there is something wrong with the software
If that chip in my computer is really a Celeron, I won't get any of those floating point division errors that have been keeping me awake recently.
Full disclosure: I am aware that this lame attempt at humour may have been more funny around 1994/1995
...Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay?
the movie sucked ass, but the game was absolutely fantastic (on my Xbox at least)
One way to avoid rubbish games is to avoid smart ass general conclusions like the ones touted in TFA
This is the last straw - I quite drinkng tea and coffee because caffeine is bad for health, quite smoking because nicotine is bad, quite drinking soft drinks because sugar and all that stuff that makes the drink fizzy is bad for you, and now freaking decaff has been sliently killing me.
From now on, all bets are off, I'm just going to smoke crack and to hell with the consequences.
I don't know what the exact situation in MA is, but you could mandate third party access to the bandwidth using regulated access prices. This happens all over the world. In the UK, British Telecom was a nationalised monopoly, and owned all the wires and capacity. When the market was deregulated, it was forced to allow other companies use its network in return for competitive fees for the access. How do you know that all the bandwidth has been allocated?
With all due respect to you, your point on the government getting involved in markets when a scarce resource is involved is not something I would subscribe too. To take a frivolous example, Nicholas Cage is a scarce resource. There is only one of them in the world, and he combines the uniqueness of being Nicholas Cage with great acting ability and good looks. That is why he is so well paid - he is a scarce and valuable resource (although I don't particularly care for films, you can see the point I am making). Should the government regulate his wages? Excellent C++ programmers who combine project managment skills with excellenet social skills are a very scarce resource - should the government set their wages or tell them how long their contracts should be?

Why should the government get involved with a market like this? Where is there evidence of market failure, such as excessive market power by the cell companies? Why does the state think people necessarily want to have only one year contracts, and why does it think it knows better than consumers?
If the market is competitive, then it should be able to provide most of what people want. If the market is not competitive, the state should encourage entry, but it should not get involved with dictating the terms of businesses to those better qualified to assess their reasonableness. TFA article makes no mention of customer groups complaining about these features - is it a case of politicians throwing their weight about unneccessarily? Anyone from MA know of consumer initiatives in this area.
Right, that sould be about enough questions! Ok?

That post really made me laugh. Ostracised adolescents posting on slashdot (using a ready made cut and paste rant) - who ever would have that it!

If this means there is a much greater supply of LCDs then the price should drop. Does anyone buy who isn't budget constrained buy CRTs anymore?
Man, I knew that burrito I put in the microwave last night when I came home from a party was speaking to me...
Hey Maud, look at all 'em purty lines of XML!

I have missed out for yet ANOTHER year on physics prize. I think I will just re-train and become an economist or peace campaigner or something.
