I believe they took the good (semi) working parts of Simsville and put it into the Hot Date and Vacation Addons (btw I have all of them and never play it, it is one of the few things that will get my wife on the computer for an extended range of time).
Although I do think that Vacation may be a bit more buggy than any of the pre HotDate addons but it definitely is a hell of a lot slower!
I heard per capita we have the most seats per person. But I suspect people are getting fed up with 13.50 a person for crap movies. There has been a long dry spell of decent movies (LOTR excluded) for the last year and a half. Course this is my opinion.
Hell if I had known this was going to happen I probably would have watched. I am one of the people who stopped watching about 3 years ago when they should have ended it (remember this is only my opinion, there may be people who actually like the show anymore).
Although I will probably watch the finale just to see how it wraps up.
it's the price. Spending $600 CDN is just way too much for something a vcr can mostly do. Most people wouldn't use it any more than the features that a VCR can do.
I dunno about the not so good cash 2 years ago comment, if anything your gonna find that now is more of a slump then 2 years ago at this particular point in time with everyone bitching about rates in this little recession and all
What I meant was that the money is good but probably not as good as it could have been 2 years ago when there was jobs to go around. Personally this money is quite good especially since the work is pretty simple.
(insert sarcastic wit) But wasn't there an interview with the former Project Manager for Excel who said why some of their competitors failed was because they restarted from scratch (i.e netscape). Now if that opinion is prevalent through MS do you really think they will start from scratch??
Plus it doesn't skip while running. I have a mp3 cd player with 120 seconds of anti skip and after about 120 seconds if it is being continuously jostled it will start skipping.
they modify the Latin word sonus (sound) and come up with Sony
I saw an interview in the 80's with one of the guys who did come up with the name and he said that it was the whole California craze was just starting and they wanted to associate with those "sunny boys " out there.
I don't know which is right but I think it puts a whole different spin on the name.
What about my bases?
Sorry this is a really bad joke.

Exact same thing happens here in Ontario Canada. We had a 2M ADSL connection with a local ISP but the lines and modem were owned by Bell Canada. The modem started flaking out and we were supposed to complain to the ISP who would then pass it on to Bell. Course it was intermittent and would take about 2 days to get the ISP to believe us to forward it on to Bell who then took two days to believe us. And then another 2 days to get a tech in to replace the modem.
Plus Gene Simmons played baddie. The "lead" singer in Kiss was Paul Stanley (although Gene does do a bit of vocals he is mainly known as the bassist for Kiss and having a long tongue)
It's like they say "A consultant is someone you pay to read your watch on your arm and tell you what time it is" More like wipe your ass (and of course he leaves some so he has to come back (sorry for the potty humor couldn't resist))
When I worked at a now division of Alcatel (Newbridge) they were trying to see if we could donate some older Macs to the local school board/charities. No one would take them since they were "too old" and wouldn't run any "modern software" IOW Windows 95 and MS Office. So I believe they just turfed them.
I agree this is a good idea but do you really think that the people responsible for trying to get someone to buy the assets of the company is going to want to lessen the (potential) value of the assets where the buying company may want to do something with the product?
It could be like the way the movie studios deal with scripts. He may have used different wording for different mails. This would limit the amount of people who could be the leak. Chances are the leak copied and pasted the article and then the register did the exact same thing. It could even be spacing (i.e. "out side"). Course this is assuming that it is real in the first place.
I am wondering how long references will still be relevant as people come and go. I actually know of some companies who do not and will not give references at all.
A lot of times a company you are applying to may want someone who actually worked with you what if your whole team has actually left the company? Sure they have your HR record but it is damn hard to ask the record something specific if it isn't mentioned on it. Also my previous manager was a reference for me. He ended up moving to Nortel and is no longer there (whether he left (which I suspect) or got laid off I have no idea and no one knows where he went) so I have lost a reference.
Fuel cells will be great if they don't get banned by the local fire marshal. I figure with H2's bad rap (think Hindenburg), all it will take is one accident and this will be baned in some major city. Then others will follow.
I can understand the concern about hydrogen but then someone needs to point out that gas can be just as flammable as Hydrogen so they may as well ban cars in general then we can all run aroung on Segways (hmm maybe the inventor knows something that we don't....)
I noticed down in the comments after reading the link that he was saying that it was only running at around 3 FPS and that was on an emulator. He presently can't run it on the Pocket PC as the shareware file is about 48M

Ask and ye shall receive. I am sure there are bigger ones but a buddy at work just started playing BRE here: telnet://ventedspleen.dyndns.org
Best thing would to be to rip it to VCD that way he can make copies for all his friends which won't degrade!

Especially since the score is out of 12 (it looks like)

but you can't tell me that they wouldn't just doctor the picture so you wouldn't get the interlock issues?

Well this is what the sales guy said to me. Course this was over a year ago.
