Is the singleplayer experience worth it? Also, of course there is no broadband in Iraq! Haven't you been watching Battlestar Gallactica?!?!1!11one!!?//? Networks allow the eeeevil ones to compromise your network!one!!1!!eleven!!11

I'm using version 1.5.0.1 still. I always take forever to upgrade things. But it's still working more than fine, sooo...some folks on slower computers seem to get the slowsies using Firefox - particuarly on load up - but it's fine for me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm using 1.5.0.7 (it continually crashes which I'm in the rich-text Yahoo webmail site, so I assume all my automatically generated reports are helping them, thus I automatically upgrade versions. continued here

The second one seemed to be invoking the obelisk from 2001: A Space Odessey. Maybe the message is that the PS3 is soooo amazing that it brings inanimate dolls to life?

Also, certainly the first iPods (not sure about later incarnations) you could load Linux onto, which would allow for direct manipulation of the contents as a mounted drive for your PC, and no need to use iTunes to copy songs / videos back and forth. You could even use the iPod as just another external harddrive. :D

Opera

No. Nice swingeing generalisation, but I KNOW of AT LEAST ONE person (namely, ME) who doesn't. Therefore, your statement is false.

So, all the residents of Sherryl, beware! The USA is about to annex your fair land ...

Maybe if the domains had mutually exclusive properies (including other domains), such that a cleric might lose the ability to wear a particular type of armour, or use only one type of weapon, or suffer a penalty against a sphere of creatures (like extra-planars), etc.

You mean like Half-Life.

Yeah, I'll enjoy watching it again, it's one of those feel-good films. I like the way Kitano has all the cast dancing at the end. :D

Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy. Very disturbing but meticulously watertight plot. Highly involved (and recommended). Takeshi Kitano's Zat

Do you believe that? I always figured it was Microsoft's lame excuse to get people to move quicker from XP to Vista. I guess we'll see a few months after DX10 is released; some hacker will probably try to port the entire API to XP.. and succeed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Having thought about it overnight, I can see that it isn't impossible ... but it certainly wouldn't be trivial, either. Who knows how many and deep the DirectX graphics subsystem's roots are embedded ..? Also, nVidia has (allegedly: it's all rumour at this point) chosen a conservative implementation for its G80 (DX10) chip: 32 pixel shaders and 16 unit array for vertex and geometric work (as opposed to ATi's R600 which apparently has four unified 16 unit arrays (64) up from the current R580's 48 pixel and 8 vertex shaders). The reason this is interesting is that the nVidia chip isn't strictly a unified design, so it sounds like it might be possible to break down the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) instructions into something that a DirectX9 GPU might understand. On the negative side, however, is the main benefit for DirectX10 is to reduce the admin overhead for drawing more objects on screen, as well as making a madatory code path for drivers (so no more engines optimised for one GPU over another). So, on balance, I don't think it would be worth the time, money and effort to port DirectX 10 to XP, as it sounds like it would be too slow to be useful. But there are a lot of ifs and buts in there.

Did the guy with the red toga (not an easy colour to make back in AD dot, btw) have a lot of garlic for dinner?

Why couldn't they just have had an AoE hold person spell that effects everybody but the caster? Same difference. If Time Stop only works within 50', anybody outside of that 50' effectively gains all the benefits of the spell. TS is supposed to affect the caster only, that's what made it powerful. Hence, the spell is useless if it only affects a certain area. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But but but ... surely if a caster STOPS TIME, then time stops for everyone EXCEPT the caster ... I don't see the implementation of this on a PW instance as a bug, but a critical feature. PS Deekin > Volo. "

Well, if it was a game of Duke Nukem: Forever, that would be expected as part of the gameplay. )

Far be it for me, an amateur, to re-engineer

If you split the single 6-pin then the power supply for two (critical) items is reliant on one rail. It is best practice to use a single rail for each GPU card, but not mandatory (the new Tagan 1.1kW, for example, shares the rails across two connectors; the 1kW Enermax got a better review in issue 193 of PC Format because of this and it's modular cable design).
