  1. The website has all the original Russian language musics (sic), which are better than the faux-Austrian impersonator (as good as that is). :D
  2. Isn't Jean = Ph
  3. Sounds like Lawful Evil to me. What he said. Anyway, this thread better imrpove or I'm going kill it. And I'm not evil. Much.
  4. I dunno, I understood read it and understood ... and I couldn't be bothered to read the comments.
  5. ... Because he's spelt the same. :D
  6. Actually, the Rock lappies are best of breed. "
  7. Everything is downhill since Pong.
  8. I hadn't considered the entire sting and rebuff as part of the work, but, Yes: there is an artistic (and tragic) theme redolent in the piece. "
  9. ... Because those are the heaviest, and include 19" screens and last less than an hour on full battery ...!
  10. Your implication is totaly fallacious (as well as being bigoted), i.e. "Because God loves >Christians< more"; insert >Jews< and >Hindus< and any other theological demarcation you care to create.
  11. The main criticism of
  12. The only thing wrong is that the guy's a yokel. Really, lots of disabled drivers manage to control a motor vehicle. This guy didn't bother to get a licence: that's what's wrong. Consequently, anyone he accidentally ran over / into / hurt / damaged their property / etc has no legal recourse (because I bet he isn't independently wealthy and able to re-inburse any such person for their loss). (An aquaintence of mine from an old workplace was a paraplegic, and he drove himself to work everyday.) This guy is a stupid ****, giving differently-abled people a bad name.
  13. The Bell Curve made quite a controversial impact (the 1994 book by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray). The book became famous for its discussion of race and intelligence in Chapters 13 and 14. reference wikipedia
  14. Some fingerprints might be (partially) preserved in the glue, too, if there is any on the external surfaces ... definitely whomever had motive, opportunity and method (ability, knowledge, etc) will do it again ... I would bet they live / know someone who lives in the building. Report it to the police, too; they need people to report all evidence such as this to build cases for later.
  15. I think it is modern art.
  16. Well, Professor and Magneto might have been category five, as well (there is no reason why they can't be); there is no mention of category six (first I've heard of it): I thought they were using the storm rating system. Also, I guess the reason Pyro was Magneto's lieutenant was because all the other mutos were dead.
  17. Dell have notoriously poor battery technology (which is why I bought a Thinkpad after I bought a Dell: IBM have the best battery technology); so be sure to factor in a new battery after 12 months. Mine lasted 12 months almost to the day, then became capable of about eight minutes' total capacity. They also have a nasty cheap look, with all that plastic: and any laptop with enough gear stuffed in it won't be fun to port around. (Again, I bought a Thinkpad "T" model, which is the thin executive model, meaning not the largest screen and total weight < 4kg; my Dell is three years' older ande weighs > 6kg because it has more stuff, e.g. a floppy drive.) Still, the Dell is still going, poor battery notwithstanding, and I use it for a Linux router / firewall / server / stuff.
  18. Ah. I understand. I suppose that many existing customers do not share these sentiments about the controller. Actually I would say that, after reading your response to Haitoku, Microsoft and Sony are going much further to alienate the gaming market; with games for their platforms being of a tertiary priority. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's a valid criticism, but I would say that gamers aren't the primary market for consoles anymore ... it's just that Ninty haven't got any other market segment to aim at. I understand how misguided gamers in general (and their fanbase in particular) might see this as some sort of loyalty to games, but I don't see any real compassion for gamers, just a cold business decision (perhaps including goodwill in the equation). Personally, I imagine that when the time comes for me to make a decision, in six or twelve months' time, gaming will not be the primary concern. :/ Volourn has severe autism. It's pointless to discuss subjects with him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't poke the animals.
  19. That sounds like either a driver conflict or (leading to) a memory leak. Anyway, enough of TOMBS, I'm off for another bout of The music is fab!
  20. I will have to read it soon, because he will not let me not read it for much longer (even though he lives on the antipodes fo the planet). Crichton normally researches his novels well (Andromeda Strain, ER, etc), which is my friend's argument; I am still very skeptical, myself.
  21. I AM DEFINITION!
  22. I really enjoyed Highway 17 and the beach incursion with the ants ...
  23. I tended to lose Dog's ball trying to shoot the hoop (and it sails out of sight, instead). I shall try the ol' Dog's ball trick, next time ... :D
