Stupidity? Halo 3 was a release with the ability to sell consoles and televisions. Bungie marketed it as HD... it's 640p. That's the resolution your computer screen ran at when Windows 95 was released.

Actually, that's incorrect. Your computer screen refreshed twice as fast.

My parents really didn't teach me anything, per se, but they encouraged exploration on my part. My grammar school taught me essentials like arithmetic, but I was always more of a visual/abstract learner... never really one for algorithmic solutions. I don't think there are enough opportunities for p...

So how do you use a computer, Tiger?

DCrazy

Halo was a Mac game, not a PC product before MS bought Bungie. Originally it was an RTS, but by the time it was publicly unveilled at MacWorld '99, it had become a third-person shooter.

OS X 10.5.

That's pretty much it, actually. Sleep would be on the list, too, if that made sense.

[edit]Oh. And Taco Bell. I can't believe they don't have Taco Bell in the UK...

In physics time is one of the properties of matter whose attributes are determined in the microseconds after all matter is plasma in the moment of creation/destruction that is the Big Bang. Time in this universe is perceived as linear because that is the way the parts settled. It might just as easi...

Do you honestly believe the DAG GUM LIBRUL SCIENTISTS IS AFTER US FREEDUM? Are you really that deluded?

I can think of at least one person who's quite obviously far more determined to take that away.

Continents and countries? Even Drew Carey doesn't know the difference.

OpenOffice supports Excel, as do Gnumeric (which I prefer, if for no other reason than it doesn't require Java) and Numbers (obviously not an option if you're not running on a Mac).

I would expect the same of anyone else (e.g. I would expect any strong atheist to disapprove of his/her young kids going to a concert which is part of a Billy Graham crusade).

Wow, that looks like something that would plug in to Pro Tools III. Love the visual style, man.

The ratio is only configurable for Vista. Everything older can only be set to a 2:2 or 3:1 ratio. PAE is the least likely to cause problems, because pointers are still 32-bit.

House just next to Lindisfarne Castle. Went there about two months ago (when the sun still cared enough to show itself every once in a while). Nice place, but make sure you don't try to cross the causeway when the tide's coming in.

I hate the PS3 controller. It has accelerometers, sure, but no way to know its position in space, unlike the Wii controller, so you can't use it as a proxy for a real device. On the Wii, the controller becomes whatever it represents: a fishing pole, a tennis racket... on the PS3, it's just another m...

I think the mainstream position is that harming animals for pleasure is wrong. PETA seem to believe that harming animals for our advantage (in any situation) is wrong.

For every 32-bit process itself, yes. But the system will be able to use the whole 4gb. Not entirely true. Under 32-bit XP, processes are given 2GB of the address space, the other half is given to the kernel. This prevents thrashing in kernel mode, which is never a good idea. You can use the /3GB s...

Kilarin, there are plenty of people who subscribe to a far more utilitarian viewpoint than you. For them, the gruesome death of the few may be very much worth it for the benefit of the many. Your ethics are not universal.

Copperplate Gothic. Not sure about the weight; the game adds a relief effect anyway.

Note that this font is only used on resolutions 1024x768 and up; 800x600 and 640x480 use an apparently custom font instead.

It even has few accelerator travel tubes. I cannot remember what they were called in D3, sorry. I don't know if there was an official term for them (they were controlled by the "Wind" room property) but I always referred to them as "mag tunnels", because ostensibly they worked t...

Absolutely none.

OS X is based on Darwin, which is XNU (Mach kernel) + BSD userland.

What would that have to do with OS X?

DCrazy

They never made an OS X version of the driver, I'm afraid. The stick might appear as a HID device, though, at which point it should be visible to any app that uses GLUT to process input.

Hmmm... There were people like you who said that Hitler was not our problem. :wink: Oh, and I believe that the "enemy" is everyone's problem. There is a general rule on the Internet that once you invoke the name of Hitler, you have lost the debate. It's called "Godwinning". I ha...

I didn't know you lived in Israel so I take back what I said.

It happens on Safari, too. IE guesses MIME type and overrides the header. It's quite infuriating.

DCrazy

To be honest, that could be anything. I remember having similar issues at one point in the distant past, but I can't remember what fixed them. It could be:

a) D3 bug
b) Bad RAM
c) Overclocked processor
d) Flaky USB driver
e) Bad video drivers / card
f) Random memory corruption...

The list goes on.

Don't any of you remember how this all works? Even Interplay can't make a new Descent sequel without Parallax Software waving their rights to make it first, and the odds of that happening are precisely: zero. Well, that's true if Interplay wanted to develop it in-house, or have someone else develop...

The other important fact is that he's also stated that if he's elected president, he WILL appoint strict, constructionist (i.e. right wing conservative) judges to the supreme court.

He's been frantically building up their enrichment capabilities, adding tons of centrifuges. When a country takes such an interest in nuclear capabilities, and also has all of the energy it'll ever need already, one has to consider intent. Right now, Iran can sell the oil on the market at over $100...

I'm not trying to drag the thread off topic. I refuse to vote for any politician who supports action against Iran, because they are not a threat to us.

Iran is also looming, and right now, it looks like war or doing nothing would both be very bad scenarios. Iran is only looming because you have been told it is looming.
