Halo 2 was better? Please. Halo 2 was boring, repetitive, and frankly, contained lackluster gameplay. Halo 3 has new things in it, and was a far better play. As for the length of play, it depends on your skill level (I did it in 5 hours, myself, and I know people who have taken a number of days to complete it). Halo 2 was by far the worst in the series, rushed, incomplete, and lacking in most areas. Halo 3 is the best of the bunch, and it finally removes the 'walking through grey corridors endlessly' aspect of the game (which was OK in Halo 1, but got extremely boring in Halo 2) - not to mention how much of an improvement the Flood have received in Halo 3, they finally live up to their name again.
Well, really, it's more like someone who tells someone where you can find the guy that will sell you stuff that 'fell off' the back of his lorry, calling the cops, because someone repeatedly mugged him.
No, maybe because we're feed up of fanboys jumping out of the bush naked offering us pleasure and a free Ubuntu CD when on our constitutional at nights. You might like Ubuntu but don't feel the need to advertise to us let alone advocate your OS lifestyle choice.
I know what you mean, I'm in Africa fed up of fanboys jumping out of the bush naked offering us pleasure and free water when on our constitutional at nights. You might like Water but don't feel the need to advertise to us let alone advocate your drinking lifestyle choice.
These people trying to help others, despicable.
I find it highly ironic this post was just below yours:
Sorry/., but this is the sort of crap reporting that is persistent on the web and (because they're desperate to retain viewers/readers) is becoming the de facto standard in print and media journalism.
Appending "Of course, correlation doesn't prove causality." to the end of an article strongly implying causality in every sense, doesn't absolve the reporter from the false conclusions he/she implies throughout the rest of the article.
That the correlation was run at ALL implies that someone was 'looking for something' - suspect 1. The layer upon layer of dependent statistics leading to a very authoritative-sounding "the likelihood that this is a concidence is 7%" makes it sound very scientific and accurate - suspect 2
Sorry, this is FUD passed off as news supported by phony statistics.
Don't you realize Intel and AMD are actually rival stables? Pfft. I don't know, what kind of fool would think computers upon hearing those two names...
Like it or not, we are a part of Europe - and yeah, I hate our politicians too, unfortunately, it turns out most people are extremely stupid and vote for them, and we end up being this half-EU, half-not. I presume you are in France from the way you talked, so I would like to make note that you were happy enough we were friendly during WW1 & 2. And yes, I know that's dragging up old stuff, but oh well. I should call someone a Nazi to top it off...
And that list does show other countries, and it shows one ISP in France blocking BT. So obviously they haven't been forced out of business for it.
The fact remains, we are a part of Europe, and if it was illegal, they would have been tackled by the EU in the UK, and anywhere else in Europe.
I don't like it anymore than the next guy, trust me.
Oh, and by the way, I'm interested as to the hostility towards the UK? Don't know quite why we are such a target.
You do realize that most ISPs do this. British Telecom (Somewhat ironically, BT) does this - I should know, I am a BT user (unfortunately). Frankly, I think all ISPs seem to suck in the UK - I have not found one that doesn't block BitTorrent traffic, and gives me a stable connection. Seriously, if someone knows of a really good UK internet provider, please inform me. So, they do get away with it in Europe.
The name is stupid, but the tool is great, well, in some parts. I don't use any of their widgets, just lots of feeds for all the sites I visit. Now when I start up my browser, I get whether there is an update on any site I go to in seconds. Very useful. Frankly, It's great.
So the obvious solution is this:
Computer: 'What is this a picture of?'
User: 'Boats in a bay.'
Computer does Google image search for boats in a bay and uses that as it's catalog.
With higher speed internet connections, a couple of thousand images to download could work great.
Ever heard the phrase 'Never Reason With A Fool'?
Because your arguments frankly deserve a response like 'Penis, Penis, Penis'.
If the people don't understand reason, then reason will get you nowhere.
No. The first 5 were urls where there was the beginning of passing a variable in the GET style. As used by PHP. None of them are a vulnerability, they are just pages that sound likely to have a vulnerability.

The only reason I have ever bought nVidia exclusively is the drivers. If ATI perked up with something better than TwinView (give me multicard support so I can have 3 monitors without xinerama!) and I'll switch. Besides, I want to get in on that AMD/ATI action if AMD ever get back on top.
(Not my current machine is a C2D E6600 with a GeForce 8600GTS and 7600GS - So no bias here.
Besides, any extra competition is always good. If it forces nVidia to push more improvement, bring it on.

Or you can just run the development version. Don't expect too much stability mind.
The cake is a lie!The cake is a lie! The cake is a lie! The cake is a lie! I think a new meme has been spawned...
Actually, if you want the savior debt, we are just middlemen, you want to go to France for that one.

Unreal 3 (Both Linux & Win) and Crysis.
You point is now null.
On a side note, I agree with you.
I believe that was his point.
Or was that sarcasm? It's hard to tell.
Which pretty much makes Eclipse > VS in itself. Not that I like anything that heavyweight. Java is such a slow platform, why I hate azureus too.
Can you put that on a post-it for me, and entitle it 'SHIT. I. ALREADY. KNOW!'.

Yeah, Crazy, a PS3 for video games, everyone knows it can't do that well!
They bought a PS3 without realizing it had blu-ray?
Dear god... They must be mad.
