The biggest of this is, when I'm cuising down the fast lane (my driving habits didn't change all that much, actually these days I tend to cruise a bit slower), people tend to get out of my way much quicker.
When I'm in the fast lane, I know my car can go faster than an old Ford behind me, so I dont give way. I simply accelerate. When I see a BMW or some other fast vehicle behind me I know I cant out run it, so I give way. Simple.
Some of the music by Microsoft Games is superbly made, like the Age of Empires/Mythology series, Rise of Nations and even Halo. Its either a freak coincidence or, unlikely as it may sound, they must have someone good up there in charge of the music. Valve and Nintendo are also pretty good with their music. Rockstar mostly uses licensed tracks for their games, but their selection is superb.
The recent success of music games in the West has been based mostly on licensed music.
I disagree. That may be true for Guitar Hero and similar games, but I think the majority of games feature original music. Exceptions include games adapted from movies, which mostly feature the OST of the movie and karaoke type games.
Very true. Reminds me of Lord Dorwin in the Foundation by Asimov where symbolic logic is used to remove the clutter from language. This is said of the politicians:
"The analysis was the most difficult
of the three by all odds. When Holk, after two days of steady work, succeeded in
eliminating meaningless statements, vague gibberish, useless qualifications; in short, all
the goo and dribble, all he found he had nothing left. Everything canceled out."
"Lord Dorwin, gentlemen, in five days of discussion didnt say one damned thing,
and said it so you never noticed.
This is what we should be doing, instead of quibbling over small things like creationism and Paris Hilton. We should launch several satellites orbiting each planet and few satellites for some of the more interesting moons(Europa, io etc)
I think the Stockholm syndrome would be much more appropriate here. Apple imposes such strong restrictions on you and your software for so long, you end up liking them.
Internet connectivity to Mumbai is via undersea links from UAE (dubai I think). The other connection is from Singapore. So yeah you could say that there is a network cable running underneath the Indian ocean.
Interestingly, Google backups from 4500 BC contain several McCain references. Earlier records could not be found as the Earth had not yet been created.
Ditto with Valve. What happens when they drop Steam. Now I've heard they will provide some sort of unlock for all their games, but since they are out of business where will I get the said patch from? Will they be kind enough to mail me an unlocked copy?
Ok who modded this insightful? Steam IS the DRM. Why should I connect to the Internet to play a single player game like portal? I like valve and their products, but I hate steam. there is always the question that what would happen to the game if the company shut down

Thats "Lord British" to you commoners.
Who moderates the meta-moderators?
The difference is that we're hearty lumberjacks ...
So you sleep all night and work all day?
very true. If anyone disagrees, I suggest you watch the first five minutes of Idiocracy. In fact, you should watch the rest of the movie as well.

Would a paper bag over my head help?

even combat arms itself is not exactly new. I've been playing it for 2 months now.

That is the Jobs Reality Distortion Field(TM). In existence since 1997, and growing stronger every minute.

Woohoo, better download speeds on Bittorrent.
and yet they retain plot synopsis of every episode of every sitcom. Weird huh?
what is a finance guy doing here on slashdot? Hmmm.
AAAAAArgh
Not a sequel, anything but a sequel.
