is your keyboard English, if it's not the tilde key is not where you would think it is. Or 'accent' for that matter.

You don't use single cases to argue for or against the death penalty. It's about the bigger picture, and the bigger picture is that it's morally reprehensible. It's not so hard to find some Hanibal Lector that everyone thinks deserves to die, but they are not very representative of how and to whom the death penalty is actually applied.

This man should be donated to much needed medical reserch into the Ebola virus, How do you 'snap' and punch a baby in the face. It doesen't matter what level of spaptitude you are on, you don't do that. The implication that the video game had anythig to do with his actions is a disgusting exploitation of a tragedy.

It's a careful balance, the more you pay the less you get, and at the same time the whole setup needs to last 4 years or more to justify the expense. Unless you don't mind paying in which case you can do whatever you want.

I remember watching a BBC show a year or so ago where they did an experiment to prove a point about vulnerability. They installed fresh OS, windows XP, and connected to the internet using no antivirus or network protection software. Within 30 seconds the machine had been recognised as an easy mark and been infected by a worm.

It's about a young intrepid hero who rides dragons. I somehow doubt it had that much to offer to begin with.

I'm using Trend Mirco PC chillin' atm and it's pretty horrible. It will bring me back to the desktop to tell me it's updating, and every version upgrade requires a reboot, there seems to be one of those a day at least. Not to mention it quite often peaks to 20% CPU usage and starts the HD going furiously.

Recomend me one please. Preferably one that doesen't eay up resources and is generally a pain in the arse.

'Meal in Paris, what best hotel' Glad to be of help.

Interestingly, or perhaps not, the Japanese world for development is the same as the word for explotation.

Umm.. Elekra Assassin, Sin City, 300, Dark Night Returns. These are classics. So what if he dropped the ball on other projects. I don't need an artist to be perfect in everything he does to enjoy his work. I don't care if it's mysogenistic drivel in strictly literary terms either as long as it makes a good comic. Asking Miller to steer clear of clishes about the 'lower rungs' of society is like asking Bogart to get in touch with his inner child.

Heimart, or something. Meaning home town, ran on TV forever. Not bad.

And a walker robot battlesuit with miniguns for arms.

Der/Das Untergang. It was quite intense. (German in primary school was a long time ago )

The story doesen't really lend itself to realism.

There are plenty of German ww2 movies, and some of them are quite good.

If you want stealth buy the new Hitman. The splinter cell games are nice, but there is something missing I can't put my finger on that meant I could never get myself to complete them despite bying two of the games.

What is the political message in 300. I can't really see one. It's about 300 Spartans who get butchered to a man in a last stand against Xerxes. Xerxes however loses because he commits hybris. American agenda ? Maybe if it was the other way around

And they outnumber the good guys 100.000 to 300 ?

Frank Miller didn't direct the movie, so who cares. Yes he has done some less than fantastic projects, but he has also done some extremely good ones. Sin City turned out rather well I think, there is some hope that this might too. Incidentially, there is no 'American' perspective to the 300 story. American military historians have a soft spot for ancient Grece, but I have a hard time seeing the story as analogous to anything contemporary.

It looks bloody fantastic and in keeping with the style of the comic. It's like one big battle of Helm's Deep where there are no elves or trees to come to the rescue.

Continued support for games is more an exception than a rule, although some companies do so in order to preserve the good name of the game. A good example is the total war series where patches still emerge 6 months after the game has been released. Not everyone can justify the manhours to the beancounters though.

Information wants to be free :ph34r:

I don't remember.
