Technology you hate
I would extend that dislike to cover ALL phones. Short of somebody kicking in your door, it's the thing with the most potential to be intrusive on your privacy. Show Caller ID will only help you to a certain extent to filter out the noise. Perhaps if phones came with filter settings a'la killfiles for email...

Actually, RAID 5 is the only unusable one, the one businesses stay *away* from :)" You get the worst of both worlds, crappiest performance and some loss of disk space (although the wasted space becomes less proportionally with more disks). If you want redundancy, you use RAID 1, if you want speed you use RAID 0, if you want speed and redundancy you use RAID 1+0 (which is an awful lot of disks). RAID 5 is the red headed step child which you can use for archive storage systems (where performance isn't critical), but thats about it.

Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords
Sounds great so far. Bummer about the lack of tactical combat though It would have been nice if they had done it like Space Empires IV Edit: No tactical combat, whats the point of carefully designing your ships then ?

New studio: Bioware Austin
So, they finally found a proper use for NWN1 :D

Kone did the "hi" thread in Project New Jersey forum. That could explain it :D

Yeah, modern does not automatically imply better in any way...- Who wants to run the Canadian Liberal Party?
So, it was the Canadians who funded those reprints of the infamous cartoons all over the world... I knew it! Time to start our own propaganda moves :-" Lets see, discrimination of french speaking minorities (those poor persecuted people in Quebec), weird political parties, sucks at icehockey, killers of baby seals, they probably abused the indigenous people too. Now I just have to make it fit together in a campaign somehow and gain the worlds sympathies for our cause- goin away...
Rpg #1b, don't let the Paladin do the talking when the task is accomplished...- Warp travel.
So, what exactly is it entangled photons do ? :)"- TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline
*Taps fingers impatiently on table* *Looks left, then right, then straight ahead again* *Starts clicking with a pen* *Clicks some more with a pen* *Changes position on chair slightly* *Taps fingers on chair some more* *Goes looking for a puppy to kick* Damn I hate waiting... Love the new beta testers choice screenshots btw.- Warp travel.
- Whatever happened to F.E.A.R ?
Your player shoots bad guys, who hide and stuff. Shoot to kill baby shoot to kill! So, it's like Unreal Tournament 19 pages for that... people must be bored while waiting for something.- Whatever happened to F.E.A.R ?
I'm too lazy to crawl through all 16-17 pages... :"> Anybody care to review F.E.A.R. in like 3-5 lines (like, what's the game about) ?- Whatever happened to F.E.A.R ?
You didn't play the haunted mansion without sound, did you ?!? Then you better fix the sound and go back and do it again (preferably in THX quality etc.) :-"- Movies you like that everyone else hates.
Yes, that's right. Everyone else in the entire world-wide cinema audience are wrong, and you are right. Finally. Somebody who understands... :D- Movies you like that everyone else hates.
Hey, lay off Waterworld. It was a good movie. I even bought the DVD- Movies you like that everyone else hates.
It's hard to believe that a movie with both Uma Thurman and Sean Connery could suck that badly. A crime against the tv series :ph34r:- Movies you like that everyone else hates.
Scarlet Johanssen is always a bonus. Her name seems familiar, can't put a face on the name though. Her cares about her face... or acting... :)"- Fallout 3 : Ideas and suggestions
Come to think of it, has there ever been a game with that feature (a game of "some" size), that was actually funny doing it ? If so, what did they do right, if not, why is there still a risk of it being added to a game ?- Fallout 3 : Ideas and suggestions
Not if done like the first games... map travelling with the potential of discovery of special locations and encounters. Travelling was never really boring because travel time was "accellerated" (Sp?).- Black Isle Compilation
Real time combat :D It was very fast. But you could get used to it after a bit of practice. I must have chosen a wrong smiley It was intended to be not particularly serious. I only ever played the demo and didn't like the demo. Not really sure what I expected from a fantasy game who allegedly used the special system, but what I saw in the demo of Lionheart wasn't it. I can't quite identify exactly what it was :ph34r:- Black Isle Compilation
