You will not be disapointed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you.

I think you are stupid AND insane.

Na

Lucius DeBeers wanted a cameo, but Bob Page wouldn't allow it.

Don't change the subject! YOU are v. naughty!

I can't wait for the nanotech version ...

Fast cars need equipment (spoilers, etc) to keep them from taking off.

There would also be the little matter of one less person breathing air, too ...

* thinks: I guess I could just look in a mirror ))shudders(( *

A job in the industry, where they get paid?

That is hedonistic economics: one bad person can be used to improve the lives of many others ...

I thought it was brilliant when I saw it at the cinema ... then I watched it again a few years ago and it had not aged well. There are some good parts, definitely, like the new robot and some of the dialogue was pretty nifty, too ... but I did cringe at a fair bit of it.

Gull-wing doors are essential for any vehicle that wishes to audition for my nocturnal attentions ...

*tries to imagine a shifty old signature*

Pruned. Topic is about ART, and how much art is within computer games, with reference to spirituality (as another intangible).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Last time I changed my signature (before I was a teenager) I had trouble with a bank not liking that I had used a different one to their records. I had to go through a complex process to change their records to my new signature (the old one was just my name written out, like yours, btw). Banks keep a record of it, so that they can control access to your account (in Britain the banks keep a scanned image on file to compare if you are not at your home branch). The legal requirement for company documents, FWIIW, is just that there is some actual ink from a pen on the paper ANYWHERE: e.g. the large multinational pharma company I worked for had to get all the directors to sign-off on various government stipulations: the IT infrastructure could send the documents anywhere in the world instantaneously, but the US government still required some ink as proof, regardless of what the actual signature looked like (in comparison to what they expected). That was before the electronic signature was accepted, though. Now, it is possible to use a registered asynchronous digital cipher to confirm that an individual authoured a block of text, as well as to confirm that the text hasn't been altered, AND that only a person with the decipher key can read it.

Using a camera whilst driving? Yes, very.

That is brilliant! Now we just need a Lego game of the Mupet Matrix ... :D

How many kinds are there?

If it freezes and then you reboot and it is fine, then it is not overheating. If it freezes and then you reboot and it is still problemtic, then it is a heat problem.

I assume you mean take a picture of real coins, from Her Majesty's Mint. It was quite difficult, actually: this picture was taken without the flash (which completely flooded the image) and not at maximum zoom, which only succeeded in blurring the objects. I don't suppose Sony is the best camera, merely a good (if overpriced) one. Still, not bad for my first camera: next stop a 16Mp+ digital SLR. :D

That is sublime.

Ah, now I understand. I never considered that this wouldn't be being done, but you are dead-on, unless the programmers actually instigate this regime then it won't be being done ...

Yes, but like Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lector, the familiar can be much more frightening than the grotesquely alien. I think I know what you mean. Remember the initial announcement in 2004? With the cool Insect-human-abomination artwork and the abandoned Nazi-Lab setting? I thought that was way more interesting. Yeah sure, evil Nazis who made crazy experiments sounds a little overused, but it wasn't a WW2 shooter, but set sometime in the near future where you would discover an old Nazi-Lab and encounter creatures more inspired of "The Fly". I'm not unhappy with the new underwater-setting either, but the BigDaddies or Splicers aren't closely as scary as humans turning into Insects. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I remember that! (Maybe that is an end-boss, or some later-on-in-the-game-type foes ...)
