This is...just...horrible...
The fact people would waste real money to go to a "virtual club" to waste time in a game that could be spent doing stuff like hunting animals for real money (another enjoyable experience of the game) is just...sad...
Well the point is there might be files out there for dumbasses to download other than.exe. So many piss poor and obvious viruses are done on.exe...anyways, despite the claim, there are a suprizingly high number of people on macs who have no fuckin' idea how to use a computer. I'm the only one in my class of like 100, in one of the top architecture colleges in the country, who even knows the basics of HTML, FTP, etc...
And there are tons of people running around with "cute powerbooks" or "cool powerbooks" whose (referring to the computer) sole purpose in life is bittorenting anime.
So what, they've been doing that at Knott's house of mystery for the past like what, 20 years?
I know how to make water travel uphill:
Step 1: Stand up.
Step 2: Find an incline.
Step 3: Walk up said incline.
Warning: Step 1 and Step 3 should not be performed by anyone who even knows how to properly type in the URL to this website without first consulting a physician. Doing so may cause undesired effects such as loss of breath and/or time spent away from the internet.
Actually, I was thinking of Go when I read your post...then I saw the word and was like "wow".
You are probably thinking of it since Go is pseudo-famous (among engineers who have attempting thusly and in Japan) as a game that cannot be easily made into a computer simulation properly. While chess has 16 opening moves, Go has...well 12 decent ones, but statistically 361. Finding the variations in a game of Go would just...be impossible currently. It is commonly said that no game has ever been played twice. This may be true: On a 19×19 board, there are about 3361×0.012 = 2.1×10^170 possible positions, most of which are the end result of about (120!)^2 = 4.5×10^397 different (no-capture) games, for a total of about 9.3×10^567 games. Allowing captures gives as many as 10^7.49x10^48
There's more go games then theorized protons in the visable universe!
Aaah once again I didn't read between the lines correctly. I was thinking they had to use their cache or history (or save all their sites, which would just be ridiculous as they could just copy and paste their URLs) and manually open the html files in the new firefox then save them as favorites. x_x"
I'm suprized about two things:
1.) Firefox alpha didn't have a converter for favorites to places/places to favorites so IE favorites could be transfered.
2.) The alpha testers aren't getting one after this incident.
Well, the part about university students being a breeding ground for virus' and disease is nothing new. Oh wait, you said universities! Nevermind then.
In response to why they'd do it before E3: Obviously this is to get it out of the way. They know its silly but (for some reason, perhaps a law suit we don't know about or threatening letter, or just "because") announcing Wii now makes it less of a focus at the show. This will not only make Nintendo look more professional for not revealing such a (truthfully) pointless topic and putting stress on it at such an important event, but get all the stupid jokes out of the way.
Stupid Joke: I wonder if the Wii will be able to connect wirelessly for all those new wireless gameboy games. Perhaps it will be called...*dramatic pause* Wii-fi...
Is that a chess game in that list? Why would a chess game need a phsyics engine. Perhaps the programmers would like to use an engine for animations (the king falling down perhaps?) instead of frame by frame and filler animation.
Nintendo...and great names aren't exactly a match. What would you say if the next gen gamecube was just called "super gamecube" or "gamecube 3.4" (if it had 3.4 gigs of ram or something...just an example, I know its impossible).
Who cares if it is a marketting gimmick. Calling the 360 the 360 is a gimmick, calling it the "revolution" is a gimmik. The new controllers are a gimmik and even sequels can be considered a gimmik.
If you people haven't noticed, this whole "game industry" is...*shifts eyes*...a profit deal, *gasp* and has been for some time.
The next post will either be "how to install a cooling unit to your SNES" or "how to install a fire-extinguisher to your SNES".
Just kidding, unless your playing some sort of 3rd party...cartridge...I doubt there'd be anyway to fry your SNES...or would there?
I've personally wanted to play around with a "high gravity" machine for a long time. Training in one would be the ultimate experience for any athlete I'm sure. I just wonder if the intense G's would actually strengthen your organs and bones by stress-testing them, so to speak, or just weaken them. Probably the latter.
Well, if he was smart you'd think he'd move to a more spam friendly country. Maybe something in deep, deep Africa...or perhaps boat out to some god-forsaken island that somehow has a post-office.
I wonder if Cuba's embargo includes data...then again spam should probably be recatagorized as "undata".
Personally I think the companies paying spammers to spam should be just as liable as the spammers.
Hey, a way to help the national debt: ebay his fate.
Is this the same person who was given a sentence of "never being allowed to use a computer for 5 years"?

Even my father had a trumpet (and I think a bugle too) he could play, and he was a pianist (no offense to buglers out there).
But honestly, traditions (like playing instruments) are being lost and more and more music lovers would rather download MP3s, remix or synthesize everything. I have a music major friend who can hardly play a thing to save his life and have been working towards his love of music for years...
