The Ebon-Hawk!

Well, the entire Star Wars approach to the Fore seems to be inconsistent at times. It is what "binds the Galaxy together", it is the "midichlorians", it is produced by "all living things", there are creatures that produce "bubbles in the force" and so on.

Whoever wins in the U.S. is going to have a huge amount of goodwill from abroad. People outside the U.S. mostly want to move beyond President Bush, who is very unpopular there, and many countries may well use the election to improve their relations with the U.S. regardless of who wins.

Thank you! I will be writing to them about DDRM issues for sure!

No problem - it becomes clear when reading the post.

Yes, I think this is definitely the case. Consumer organizations could help a great deal with those kinds of issues. As far as I know, gamers don't have such an organization, or if so, it must be really low profile.

If a franchise comes without a sequel for too long, it certainly becomes progressively more difficult to revive it.

This is unfortunately true.

It would feel extremely forced.

Yep, these can be pretty scary at times, but it all depends on the circumstances.

Sure - UFO as in unidentified flying object. I can guess, however, that it was a satellite or the a Space Station, perhaps Mir, which was still in orbit at the time.

Ah, this is for a desktop. I have just bought a laptop recently, but I don't really know enough about the desktop stuff to give advice - sorry!

What is an SPU?

Giant Asian Hornets are the worst of them all, particularly the Japanese variety, or so I recall reading somewhere. Given my reaction to bee stings, I think I might be mildly alergic to them.

I can't stand bees, wasps or hornets and I would also add bumblebees to the mix. Can't stand as in "Don't like" or actually fear them? I don't like them. I also fear them, but I don't think it's irrational - they sting! Wasps are actually not so bad, because their sting, in my experience, is comparatively mild and does not last too long. Bees are outright terrible though. When I got stung in my finger, for example, the first day was not so horrible yet, but by the third day my finger, and my palm were so swollen that the hand was rendered pretty much unusable and that state lasted for about a week. It took more than another week after that for the swelling to disappear completely. OK, I don't know whether that was really a bee, as I got stung while retrieving an object that fell into some shrubs and didn't see what actually stung me, but I think it left behind a sting (it was 7 years ago, so I no longer remember precisely), so it was probably a bee unless bumblebees leave stings too. I have never been stung by a hornet and I do not want to either! When I see a wasp or a bee in the house I usually endeavor to kill it with a shoe or a newspaper/magazine. I like honey, but it's not worth the existence of bees for me!

I am tempted to read this in more detail, but so far I have resisted the spoilers!

Women! Or 'romantic' situations to be more precise.

As expected, Nehalem doesn't offer too much for gaming or general purpose apps (and as Kaftan said gaming's completely GPU-limited anyway). What it does do is smooth out several of the kinks in the Core 2 architecture, which is why you see such huge performance boosts in certain applications. It works now!

Yay, a new thread for a new expansion!

Revan would simply be too powerful to use as a starting character in a game. Anything can be done, of course, but it would not lead to good gameplay.

Well, you will probably keep hoping in vain. It's better to let go and move onto other franchises, as painful as it may be.

Some of the Expanded Universe is great, though, particularly the two KOTOR games!

Does anybody know when is EA's next major release? I would like to monitor the game for DRM developments.
