What's their position on stolen police vehicles i wonder? In the game they seemed to have a real aversion towards them, sprinting away at first sight.
Why, oh why did they remove the Krishnas from subsequent games; they were an excellent feature. Whenever i hear them and their little cymbals on Oxford St it still makes me smile.
If anyone has a beef with the GTA games it's the Hare Krishna; these guys got an really hard time in the 1st game.
As soon as you went after them they'd really get those skinny limbs moving in no time, vaulting cars and running away for miles. It wasn't easy but if you killed a whole line of them you earned a huge cash bonus- $2000 if i remember right.
I don't remember the Krishna complaining too much (in real life)- maybe they're so busy chanting that they miss out on seminal video games like GTA.
Aunty beeb must be having a laugh! What the hell is she playing at. What use is there in to turn the rest of Britain against her? Sooner rather than later she'll lose the license fee and, lets face it that'll be a dammed good thing for all concerned. This kind of crap will only hasten things.
In terms of news broadcasting, the absence of commercial constraints has meant precious little in relation to what these clowns broadcast. I'm a bigger fan of Blackadder than most, but really these parasites have turned resting on their laurels into a national sport.
Advertising is at best a huge waste of time and at worst a vile influence on the world.
But adware really is the absolute nadir of this filthy business.
As a whole the amount of time that is wasted dealing with disinfecting computers must be collosal.
The notion of naming and shaming is a bit mild...a better response would be to add up the number of hours that these culprits waste and then to 'reclaim' this time by eradicating the staff of these firms, from the top down. Nothing fancy, just fly them over a large and cold body of water, e.g. the north sea and then push them out of the plane.
Those that put together the malware deserve to be broken on the wheel, and nothing less, to make them an example. It may seem harsh but rough justice is whats needed here.
Anyone who thinks that landing a few spods on the surface of the moon was a worthwhile enterprise would probably be at the same intellectual level as those who reckon that the whole thing was faked; not quite the full shilling in either case. As was mentioned earlier, those in doubt should have a look at the data that the Soviets gathered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunokhod_1 & 2.)
It does seem that the Russian efforts, especially in this regard, were without much of the risk that characterized the fruitless and idiotic attempts at glory that most manned space exploration has involved- before it was largely dropped.
loss of applied iq? well i was under the impression that iq was some kind of inherant thing: surely something that is genetically determined cannot change from one generation to the next? that would negate the whole notion of iq would it not?
never mind the fact that iq lacks any kind of validitly in terms of what it's meant to be testing -thats not the point when you're looking for a crude way to justify your race hatred, or belief that social darwinism is the way to go.
excuse me if i dont read the fine article but I'm getting a bit sick of the way that iq bs shows up quite so regularly on slashdot; its no more science than astrology and deserves to be sidelined.
first and foremost is Enemy Territory. staying power like no other
gravitar is supremely difficult and addictive, as is marble madness. both essential mame offerings.
worms 2 is multiplayer gaming beyond compare. wonderfully social and never boring, this is one of the best games ever. the ability to design your own levels and create your own sound schemes (movie wavs) is the icing on the cake. never fades
Swat 3 is excellent. best of all is the level in which you and your team of elite cops have to pay a visit to a survivalist, and politely ask him if the weapon he has been firing at people on the highway is licensed or not. forget the hk on this mission, its got to be assault rifles across the board
Herzog Zwei was a real megadrive stunner. it invented the genre of RTS game and yet it was almost completely ignored by the gaming community. The music in this game was very strange, as were the titles of the tunes- "The Super-Fighter Invigorated Us" is one that stands out. still great fun to play
Goldeneye, Road Rash 2, Micro Machines 2 & Ecco the Dolphin all deserve an honourable mention, as does the great Pilotwings and Speedball 2. i still love you all
apart from GTA, what the hell has happened to game design!
i think the grandparent may have been refering to flash content, which can be viewed on over 95% of computers. Flash is just about the most ubiquitous piece of software that there is- if sparkle can only run on vista(?) then imo it won't have a hope up against flash.
Even if the subject was frozen before death, the real problem is that when you defrost certain types of organic matter, it doesn't retain its original state too well; anyone who's tried to freeze strawberries will know that the resultant mush is not very appetising.
No matter how great the future advances in technology, anyone frozen now will lose all the structure of their brain cells in the process.
As far as science is concerned, cryogenics is actually a recent example of an ancient and respected art- that of separating silly people from their money.

i think what you meant was proprioception http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception
in applications where i need to zoom in/out the position of the mouse on the screen determines which part of the screen is magnified
Looks like it could be great fun after a bong hit or two, but in terms of interaction its nothing new, and probably of little use.
