  1. Free versions vastly outperform subscriptions when it comes to footprint, they might need manual updates and have certain features disabled, but it's usually worth the tradeoff. You are better off not paying for anti virus, unless you are of the particularly paranoid persuation. I like AVG, it only throws a popup in my face when it wants to reboot after an update.
  2. Legacy of Cain, the vampire RPG, that was pretty good, but honestly, there is no inkling whether or not they would have been able to do anything with the sequel beyond name recognition. Tomb Raider was never that fantastic to beging with.
  3. It's what bacteria does, the same reason it's used as a vessel for genetic manipulation, it's DNA is so eminently malleable.
  4. Thats the same thing that happens to all shows that aren't heavily serialised, such as the usual cop, lawyer, doctor, etc. shows when you think about it. At some point after the initial success the writers are faced with two decicions, elaborate on the main plot line and make it so complex no one understands anything (take lost or X files for instance) or divert into trivia to pass time. I can't think of any show to have gone on this long to escape it.
  5. It's not really in question, it's a well documented phenomenon that these resistances spread, why else would drug resistant TB and strep strains be such a problem. When you don't finish a course you teach the virus resistance, should it survive, which is why antibiotics for colds are a very bad idea.
  6. Thats kinda hairy though, if it decided to live in the windows system folder, many of the files there can't be deleted without turning off file protection and rebooting, and if you happen to delete the wrong thing there the OS might not start up at all.
  7. Typing class .... Do you have standing class, and seeing class as well ?
  8. No really, I was talking about this with a guy from work the other day, how years of overexposure had led to reflex memory, and blind writing as it were, now, this is not the secret of the pyramids, not profound in any manner, but I just discovered I could do the same. Without thinking I had just stopped looking at the keyboard. Creepy.
  9. ohh, ditto Hkey_local_User entries. Look for anything put by the installation in the programs folder.
  10. Run : Regedit, use the tree to navigate to Hkey_local_Machine ; software, look for folders and specific entries with the appropriate name. Don't edit anything without creating a backup first. Do that by using the 'export' option.
  11. Uhh, talk to whoevers in the ****pit, use the minimap there ?
  12. Ok so I measured the length of one of my BSG files, it was 37 mins, minus the intro and recap.
  13. It's not the size of the plot, it's the movement in the ocean.
  14. I am also 35 and driverlicenseless. If I didn't walk and bike I would get no excercise at all.
  15. Sonic the hedgehog, the platform game... Why do these things even exist ?
  16. It's very hard to make a self contained story when you have a little over 20 mins, and for my part, the cylons aren't scary anymore, they are more like intellectuals walking around in designer clothing musing about the will of the gods.
  17. I would much prefer to see battlestar gallactica movies, the series format is very restricted and all the longer specials have been a lot better.
  18. According to an online currency calculator new xbox games cost ca. 120$, older ones 100$, thats with our draconian sales taxes. Now i'll pay that, but only if I know it's something i'm going to be playing for a looooong time.
  19. I might get one, but the games are ludicrously expensive, at least 20% more than comparable PC games. Maybe it's our tax system or something.
  20. After the initial over exposure in the 60s it took a while for it to be rediscovered by a new generation, anyway get this ; I grew up in a hippie commune where everyone changed their last name to 'Rivendell'
  21. It's pretty strange when you think of all the other sci fi channel shows that are pretty unremarkable and seem to go on forever. Maybe battlestar costs more to make with the large cast, I dunno.
  22. Yes what the hell kinda kindergarden crap is that. Dead is dead, and the world doesen't end either because generic NPC was supposed to have a few lines later on - so he won't, cause he's dead, dead as in dead, not falling comatose for the remainder of combat.
