Having bothered to hack this up myself (before someone made a download available), I can say that the texture is named 'textures\characters\imperial\female\upperbodyfema le.dss'. There's no chance it was just a male texture placed on a female body.
On top of that, it's also a model with this texture attached to it, though this does also claim it's male, erroneously. 'meshes\characters\_male\femaleupperbody.nif'.
This was not done by accident, and is not a hack to apply a male texture to a female body.
I believe it probably WAS included by accident, though. It is never used in the game, not even as something to place under armor that covers everything.
Hmm, you don't think this has anything to do with that fact that nobody has hacked it yet, do you?
You can't compare consoles that have been out for years and have hacks that allow people to write homebrew and steal games to a console that's only been out for months and has no hacks yet. There's going to be an obvious difference in the numbers, even disregarding the console sales due to hacks.
Consoles that have been out for years have sole multiple units to the same person, especially abusive teenagers. (Which was the primary demographic for a while, you can bet.)
Come back in 10 years and if you can still say the x360 has the best ratio of any console (even disregarding ones that came after it) then you deserve a cookie. I think you'll be cookieless, though.
No, the complain stems from the fact that Google and Firefox found a way to get greedy and have the majority of the IT community behind them on it. (Or at least they thought so.)
Wrong is wrong, no matter who's doing it. If it's wrong for MS to default a search engine, it's wrong for Firefox as well.
Firefox and Google are two companies that are (to my knowledge) completely independent.
Completely independent... Except that the 2 companies have businesses deals and pay each other money. So maybe they're not so independent.
Microsoft pushes the MSN brand search. Firefox pushes the Google brand search.
Sure, you can argue that one has majority of the market and wishes to keep it... Right up until you visit all the 'getfirefoxordie' sites that wish to make Firefox the majority and keep it that way. Then you realize they are basically trying for the same thing.
Now, I hate Microsoft's monopolistic practices as much as the next guy, but you shouldn't start screaming when someone else uses the very same tactic you are using.
I also think that IE sucks (I haven't tried 7, but I'm sure it's no different) and that Firefox is King Browser right now, but I wish they'd calm down on the underhanded tactics. (And the bloat... Jeez, it's getting bad.)
A lot of people don't get this concept. But it really DOES happen. I constantly have NO free time. I've even considered moving closer to work and spending hundreds of dollars a month extra to save a 1.5 hour daily drive. 7.5 hours a week doesn't sound like much, until you find yourself avoiding going to the grocery store for as long as possible because you simply don't have time.
I'm playing off my student loans at about 6x the minimum payments. Money is definitely not the issue. Just time.
Likewise, where I used to play every game that came out, now I only hand-pick the very best ones and I get seriously ticked if any are crap and waste my time. It's quite a marked change from the boy who always said 'I'm bored.' to the person I am today.
The 3 hour (playable) intro was WAY too boring. Everything you do in the 'intro' is pointless. None of the mini-game scores are kept and you don't actually have to even play them.
My friend's girlfriend (he's not a geek, sadly) bought KH2 without playing KH1 at all. She was bored stiff and I offered to buy the game from her. She accepted, but then I had an idea. I'd buy KH1 again and trade for a while, instead of buying KH2. She LOVES KH1. And after the first 3 hours, I loved KH2.
Okay, so I've got a passport account (please don't mod me down for this, I was young and stupid.) And yet, you can't sign in because passport is freaking out.
I have been DYING for a worthwhile shell in windows. I've been using rxvt and aterm and they just don't match up to a console-only or yakuake session in true linux. I would LOVE to try your stuff. But you have to MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD.
In highschool, I volunteered at a local computer repair shop for a couple years. I learned quite a bit about computer repair there, and eventually when I need a job, I used this knowledge to get a sales position at a brick & mortar.
I was astounded by the lack of knowledge my associates had. They knew quite a bit about selling computers, but not much at all about what a computer can do. There was plenty of talk about selling the 'right' machineto the customer, but this always ended up being the highest thing in their budget range.
It was amazing how often this WAS a close match because of simple economics, but more information hardly even enterred the equation. (The exception to this was printers.)
It was also amazing how very little my in-depth knowledge helped choose the 'right' machine for the customer. It helped a TON in selling it, but none in what I considered important. (And what most customers SHOULD consider important.)
I may be exagerating a bit, I suppose, because I was always able to tell a customer what a machine could and could not do, and what it would take to get each machine up to that level. But it just never seemed to really factor into the buy decision.
The one thing I absolutely hated was selling insurance. They can call that piece of paper whatever they want, but it's insurance. We were told not to force it on the customer, but to always recommend it.
No, if I did, I've have mentioned Giant Testing Corporation #2 and provided a link.
If I sound like an informertial it's only because I looked for a job for a year and half and barely got a few interviews. This is the only company to take me seriously and they ONLY did so because of the test they gave me.
People with tons of experience and NO personal skills should be very afraid of these tests. People like me, with plenty of knowledge and very little professional experience should welcome these tests.
And it GOT ME THE JOB. The other guy looked better on paper, and was was about the same for personality in person. I blew him away on not only the skills portion of the online test, but the personality portion, too.
Just before my interview, the company implemented a policy that they would test for personality before hiring ANYONE. Even the lowest worker. The reason is that there were so many people that disrupted the harmony of the workplace and made everyone's life miserable. They decided to fix the problem and it's worked. It's a totally awesome place to work.
If you don't have the personality to pass one of these tests, by all means, don't take it and just go find another company to apply to. If you think you are a likeable person, take the test.
Somehow, I think releasing this information in a court case to convict the guy is just as much 'showing your hand' as announcing it to the world and grabbing the PR as well.
You could argue that 'nobody goes through court cases', but then you'd have to explain the presence of 'Court TV' and this IS a major mob boss, not some joe nobody that hired a hitman. All the other mob bosses will know about the case.
Hey, mod the parent up. This is the first post I've seen here that has it right.
You want it: You buy it.
You think it costs too much: DON'T buy it.
I'm not buying the horse armor. It's not because I think it's too expensive, it's because I have absolutely no use for horses in the game, and therefore no use for horse armor.
The other 2 mods that are listed, I am DEFINITELY buying. The first one, the Orrery, fits the 'cut pieces out' scenario perfectly. This was obviously planned before release because the Orrery already exists in the basic game. The door is locked and there is no key to unlock it.
But I don't care! It's worth the $2 to me to do that quest. The other one as well.
And if TES5:Whatever was $30 and then $10 extra for the other 4 sets of guild quests, I'd gladly pay that,too. Yes, that's $20 more if you want everything, but I get to actually choose. I'd probably end up paying the same $50.
Eh, that's not exactly right either. Those users aren't going to stand still for 100 hours, or they all get fired. They will continue whatever less-efficient method they are currently using for the task.
Is it bad that I get about halfway through one of the pages on that site and get bored and switch pages? I'm serious. It happened a few times before I gave up. I'm just going to try it and see, instead. But for someone who 'understands' ADHD, he's managed to induce it in me. I'm hopeful for the game, though.
Bus transportation is privately owned in most cities that I know of. It's called 'public transportation' but it's not really 'public'. It's not like a city park where the citizens own it together.
There are alternate transportation methods rather than busses, so that excuse obviously didn't work back then. You can't advertise your service to the public unless you actually intend to let the public access it fairly.
If this had been a race issue it would have been much clearer. (And louder, I'm sure.)
Am I gay? No. Do I like gay people? Actually, I find them to be quite pleasant for the most part. Would I join a gay guild? Oh heck no.

Man, I wish you could mod more than +5. This is exactly the solution I use and it's wonderful.
I see a prior poster uses a PHP-based solution, but since I also use NZBGet and NAIM on screen, I get everything together with only 1 login.
Er, I said he's a geek, not me. His cute little girlfriend wouldn't give me the time of day if we didn't both know him ;)

This is exactly right. And if you don't believe it, think of this:
A driver's license/state ID is -NOT- mandatory. But try to do ANY paperwork without one and you'll see how non-mandatory it really is.
I'm in full support of this law, I just don't think it'll do any good when all is said and done. (Not by itself, anyhow.)
So don't buy from the large stores? You could ALWAYS purchase an OS-less computer at a local non-corporate computer store.
