Are you afraid you might burn 1 calorie while straining your arm and wrist to get your wallet out of your tight pants pockets? If so I recommend you stop buying tight pants, nobody wants to see your butt muscles flex.
I think one of the most reasonable concerns against the rising usage of silverlight, and therefore the need for moonlight for linux, is that if new version of moonlight can't keep up with the updated version of silverlight then its not the multiplatform wonder that it should be to be competitive with flash.
If you have the PC version, FOOK is a terrific mod that adds tons of weapons to the game (though a couple are a bit unbalanced, such as a shotgun that does 300 damage)
They mentioned in the article (or another linked one) that batters that in the proof of concept stage can do a 10 minute quick charge to 80%. Though obviously its not the batteries used yet by Tesla.
There seems to be a missing factor here: What if the simulations are the only thing keeping this crazy would-be psycho killer from actually killing people for real?
While I'm completely with you on the SNES controller, I do have a one beef with the Gamecube controller.
I remember always having a problem with realizing the Z button was there just above the right trigger. Sure I'm now used to the X360 with the buttons above the left and right bumpers, but for some reason only having one on the right side felt weird at the time coming from the N64 controller where the Z was on the bottom like a trigger.
on their website, it reminded me of the theme song intros to all those cartoons I grew up with, TMNT, GI Joes, etc. Can't wait to try out the gameplay, though its a shame it doesn't work in Linux so I'll have to boot up my windows gaming rig to play. Don't know yet if it works in OSX, but I doubt it.
The fact is that a very marginally small portion of people actually use more than one video card. And why should anyone really, when modern day consoles cost about the same amount as one would spend on a moderately high end processor + video card, why the hell would most people want to spend an extra 300 bucks or so to have an extra video card at only 25% or less extra benefit in framerate? Only the hardcore ones with the extra wallet is who. As for me, I'm more than happy with my $1000 system with ONE video card, and I know its going to last me at least and extra year or two anyway.
Anyway all I'm saying is AMD has the ability to tie in their own processor + GPU combo, plus let the consumer buy a separate GPU, thus getting their own "SLI". If they play their card right, they can just give the finger to NVIDIA and provide some real competition that this market really needs to prevent us all from paying $200-300 for a decent GPU these days.
Well assuming you have an Australian accent you can probably still melt panties in any American bar and/or club simply by saying a few key words made famous by the Crocodile Hunter
Well technically it is another MMO. Its also another Star Wars themed MMO. I think the elaboration you missed is that we hope this isn't just another cookie-cutter-boring-grinding-game made for people who have nothing better to do than spend countless hours of their dull lives trying to get armor and weapons that were 1.2% better than what they had before.
and then see how many people buy a used game when its a measly few bucks cheaper instead of $10-15 off. New games should follow these pricing guidelines in my opinion to reach a critical mass of sales success:
$10 - bargain bin chumps
$20 - standard rate new game
$30 - AAA rated new game (think like the extra 10 bucks you pay for BluRay discs over DVD)
$40 - AAA rated special edition bundle mumbo jumbo (i won't buy em, but some people like the extras I guess)
but how else is Microsoft supposed get Office 2009 - ATM edition to market? And just think, Clippy could be a money clip instead of a paper clip! The bottom line is it's win-win in this rough riding tsunami wave of data mining nugget pack of wolves devouring economy for today's business-ready customer driven shim-sham!
The ISP at my university when I attended and was in the dorms would actually detect if your computer were compromised and was sending out spam or whatever, and they would turn off your ethernet connection at your room wall port until you proved that your computer had either been cleansed or until they sent one of their own IT guys to try to clean it for you. Taking this to a broader scale to consumer ISPs is really the only best way to treat this by centralizing the responsibility. Of course if not handled properly it will likely piss tons of people off, and may even get false positives so it must also obviously lean towards leniency.
well it is a big deal for folks like a friend of mine who have already bought quite a lot of the protected AACs, and now being told they have to pay more money to "unlock" them. What a load of crap, they should offer redownload for free once a DRM free version is available for those same songs (unless they already do that, in which case i'm haplessly unable to be up with the times)
Legally? If you bought a DVD, its your right to be able to back it up and watch it on any piece of hardware as far as I'm concerned. Go now, install those restricted packages and set up that Medibuntu repository. It sure beats paying another $100 or more to have yet another DVD player in the house when you already own the hardware many times over.
Americans can't imagine how other people could want something different from what they have, and how could they think different from what they, Americans, think. I don't know if it's true, but it's a very interesting POV.
sounds more like a Christian view rather than just an American view, but I guess since a large portion of our population is Christian it may still hold up. Either that or its just easier not to try to think about other's POV. Take your pick, I'm too lazy to pick for you:P
Its really just java, though a custom one. Java apps run in a virtual machine, but I don't think it technically can be considered an emulator. Java already isn't the speediest around, but its not too terrible either. I don't think a 1.x Ghz Atom will have a hard time running the same thing an android phone is made to run.
since Thetans are completely made up, about the only thing that device could possibly measure is your body's resistivity to electricity, your body fat percentage, and/or your heart rate.

Maybe this is more evidence of the "Here let me do that for you" society we have become.
We know who to blame: CLIPPYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

I think you are confusing the Smuggler class with the Scruffy-looking-nerf-herder class.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
yes, they had a wii-mote in their pants. no they're not happy to see you.
