I'll second that. A hideous screech from out of nowhere, then your shields take a pounding!

You know, I hear lots of folks here who don't play much or at all anymore complain about the lack of level variety. As of this writing there are 77 servers up with 49 distinct levels hosted on the tacker. If you want to see different levels played, feel free to jump in one. Once someone starts, you...

I think hydrogen is really the best new alternative to oil, Considering we practically have a never ending supply of it.

Not to tip the topic, but from where? The oceans? What fuels the electrolysis?

Sedwick

Yeah, I've heard of it. The comments on this TechCrunch article seemed overwhelmingly negative, along the lines of, \"why is Google wasting its time with this?\"

I play D3 in both, though I haven't multiplayed since November, when my last computer took a dump. Mostly because I got a new joystick, and I want to feel comfortable with it so I'm practicing in single, plus I mean to bolt it to a board (it's a two-piece throttle/stick) so they don't slip as much. ...

Ah...my favorite secular holiday. Ideally, the wife and I head down to the lakefront for fireworks on the 3rd, then the next day starts with some patriotic music and a pancake breakfast (today with homegrown raspberries!). Take in a parade, then head over to my parents' next door neighbors for their...

Well the latest lander has shown that we can grow asparagus on Mars so can colonization be far off? Well, aside from that no human has stepped foot on Mars... how did they manage to grow asparagus on it? I thought Mars didn't even have an atmosphere, yet alone one with Carbon Dioxide in it. As I un...

If you were really hardcore, you could write (or find?) a program to use steganographic watermarking. Alter the least significant bit of every pixel--a change no one will notice--in a way that recombines to form a new message (or even a new photo!). Illegally copied photos could be analyzed and if t...

yum yum you got some nice chili dogs there Um, thanks! Oww, I've gotten up to ~31 mph on my bike going down a hill. Thankfully the hill has nice grassy ditches on either side in case I need to bail... Yeah, I've done 36 from one hill if I time the traffic light right. Another favorite local hill gi...

...And paid the price for it this morning. I've been biking to work more lately, and my favorite hill was just too seductive. I was up to 28 MPH, coming up on my left turn, which included a grassy dip I had to cross--it's a divided suburban parkway. Today there were some cars behind me certain to in...

I HATE job interview questions! My son will have just finished freshman year at college, and my daughter will be anticipating junior year in high school. She'll have just gotten her driver's license, and will wonder why she'll have to pay for own insurance if she wants a car. They and my wife will b...

Heehee! I'm reminded of this old radio bit:

A joystick makes me feel like I'm actually piloting the craft. More immersive, more fun

Yes, a good stick (and throttle). Although I seem to have trouble configuring a hat switch to slide horizontally AND vertically at the same time.

The environmentalist in me (a very big part of me) is thrilled. But, where will the hydrogen come from? Critics also point out that hydrogen is costly to produce and the most common way to produce hydrogen is still from fossil fuels. Analysis of the environmental impact of different fuel technologie...

Update! My brother-in-law immediately upgraded the video card on his new system last summer and made the old card, an NVIDEA GeForce 7350 LE, his birthday gift to me.

I only wish I did--I'd have rocked the Mindstorms dev team! Actually, Legos are a childhood staple with me.

It just saddens me that, despite having the advantage of being able to start fresh with modern knowledge of environmentally friendly(er) ways of doing things, China looks like it'll just end up repeating our mistakes.
