  1. That's not a fault of DRM, it is a poor implementation by greedy producers.
  2. David was the TV series (the producers thought "Bruce" was too effeminate), even though his name was "Bruce David Banner" in the comics, IIRC.
  3. Well, I think we've read enough of the "Gromnir-Volourn slapfest" ... it's a pity there wasn't any real conversation about the patch.
  4. Yeah, I don't know how many times it has to be debated, but a low-powered PC must use the wits of the player to solve problems, rather than the combat power of the PC. Which is one type of fun, as opposed to the FPS type of fun, for example.
  5. It's going to be very Deus Exi-like, with bonuses to slealth, power, speed, regeneration etc.
  6. I remember when I discovered how important it was to Britain: think about all the uses for rubber, and then note that it is a very scarce resource. I think Malaysia is about the only place in the world where there are mass robber plants. It's not so important now, since petroleum products have taken over a lot of the roles, but for the eighteenth and nineteenth century it was a war-winner.
  7. How can you have an "illegal war"? Whose law are you using? Countries aren't subject to laws, without agreeing to them via a treaty. "International Commission of Jurists", gee I'll bet the US government is quaking in their boots at the pronouncement from these guys. Oh, wait, this is who they are: There is no international law. I'd be surprised if the US has ratified their authority; and (unlike individuals born into a country), individual countries have primacy. There are barely laws that govern individual countries. Anyway, to continue quoting from YOUR source: Every point there was broached by the "enemy combatants" in Iraq. No wonder the US was peeved that they were fighting a bunch of people who fight without concern for ANY of these. And you call yourself a humanitarian. tsk tsk As for your second link: The US and Britain acted on their own legal interpretation of resolution 1441. You can't have it both ways; you can't advocate the legal system (i.e. your ICJ, above) AND rule out due legal process for the countries. See the problem here yet? Even though you've made up your mind that events are a certain way, that doesn't mean your fantasy matches reality. I guess all the nay-sayers were wrong: the elections were held and there is now a sovereign Iraqi government. So much for your rabid rantings about "illegal war"; I see a legitimate democratic Iraqi government, voted for by the beleaguered people who were being starved and tortured by Saddam. That sounds like justice to me. And isn't that what law is about?
  8. new Ubisoft game
  9. Making ludicrous statements based on nothing but your own opinion may provide your ego with some (obviously needed) support, but it does not further your argument.
  10. Nah, they'd just destabilize the economy / government and let a new lot in.
  11. Back on topic. It's probably the Chinese. :ph34r:
  12. I'm expecting this thread to be back on topic FROM NOW.
  13. Not to mention rubber; I had no idea that rubber was so important to the British Empire.
  14. Not at present...sorry. We are slated to be shown at E3, so it will likely be announced before then. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is excellent news, thanks for posting! And please let the enthusiasm of the forumites, rather than the actual sordid particulars of their welcome, demonstrate their warmth and genuine pleasure.
  15. Nah, you really need a proofreader for your text.
  16. That would matter if Sony was just fighting in the Console War; I just saw a report on the recent Casino Royale Bond film, where Sony were flexing their vertical marketing strategy. Daniel Craig had a Sony Viao, a Sony-Erikson mobile, in fact every gadget in the film was a Sony! They are battling in a much larger war, against Microsoft for the living room computer (and the dominance of Windows for every gadget, everywhere; Blu-Ray versus HD-DVD notwithstanding) and even Apple for the dominant personal music standard. We live in interesting times.
  17. That'll be why they took Malaysia so quickly; apparently the troops were all on bicycles down the Malay peninsula. ^_^
  18. *pruned* It would be a shame to CLOSE THIS TOPIC because of immature spamming. Please keep you enthusiasm confined to the discussion of modding projects in general. Or else.
  19. OMG R341 1|f3!!111eleven!11
  20. I like the outfit the PC gets to wear. It looks a bit like the one I bought for the gym. Well done!
  21. Weren't you the guy that refuted the Hobbesian conception of selfish human nature? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am sure I do not know to what you are referring.
  22. I don't listen to music.
  23. I thought it was on simultaneously.
  24. Well, I think the biggest problem is that the market that buy laptops don't buy gaming rigs. (Although there is a niche market, with Rock, for example, marketing to the portable gamers.) Of course, all innovation is good news, as this will have unexpected consequences and unknown potential positive impact on technological commodities.
