How did she get to Earth from Earth-2 ?

... Only in Vololand.

Typically use two different spybot exterminators, and one firewall, harware or software. An AV is a good idea if you routinely download attachments to emails from unknown people ... ... what is suspicious is that he told you to remove spybot software ... that's what one sweep of the exterminators will do ...

It got a sequel, therefore it was succesful. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. It could quite easily have warranted a sequel if the sunk cost (investment so far) might turn a profit more cheaply (i.e. with less new investment) than creating new IP.

You don't need to keep 10GB free. It is a good idea to keep at least a few GB, and the more the better (for performance, disk-read-write-speed), and Windows uses some space for virtual memory. E.g. can't you store the anime on secondary storage, like another hardrive or DVDs. A lot of IT people don't like Norton. There is no reason not to, it was on the IBM desktop when I worked there. It does hog system resources, though, and can clobber some games sometimes. The AV doesn't stop spyware. He sounds like he had a point, but was also taking the pee. Ad-Aware and Spybot are not dangerous. NwN does connect to the internet if you are playing a Premium module. Firefox can connect automatically to update themes and plug-ins, but this is just the same as Windows. Windows Defender is unproven and still in beta, and (judging by the way Microsoft permitted certain paid-up advertisers' adverts unfettered access to people's PCs) I wouldn't be rushing to install it. I currently run Norton Internet Security (software firewall) instead of the default one included with Windows.

Just watched French Connection for the first time. Man, what a great film. I heard Mr Friedkin used to start every day on set by peeing off Gene Hackman in some novel way, to help with his method. :D Also just watched Predator for the first time in a long time ... comfort viewing.

I'm waiting for the time when they merge it with the hi-res on-iris displays ...

I can walk to any PC in the freaking world, jack in my CD and tada... I can play ALOT sooner than I could if I had to DL it first. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Technically you would have to uninstall it on the previous PC, first. Not sure why you are quoting weird figures for Steam and downloading. I had to re-install Steam after I formated my harddrive. Once I had contacted the Steam website, it was installed in about 10 minutes. (I don't know how it worked that fast, but I tested it and played all the games I installed.) The subterfuge employed in the initial delivery of Half-Life 2 was a little bit rude, but only if a customer bought the game without an internet connection (as this wasn't stated as a prerequisite). I'm not sure why you are all up in arms about Steam: what spyware? Actually, forget it, I'm not really interested. Anyway, you have neatly diverted attention from the original point (and it didn't work): I mentioned Steam because you were posing a copy-protection issue: What stops you from allowing friends to DL it with your "copy" then if you can also DL it multiple times? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> which cannot be done with Steam. So, you see, DL is quite a safe way to deliver product. Even if you have such compelling arguments as: Steam sucks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that suggests rolling back to older drivers may help. (Not sure why, maybe some of the improvments assume new methods for pixel shading/mapping, and these aren't compatible with the older methods.)

So it is an inter-dimensional connector between to non-adjacent three-dimensional spaces? A "worm-hole" that attaches in the same universe at very similar spacial loci, as opposed to a "transporter" that dematerializes matter, transfers the transmuted energy to another location, and rematerializes it? Did they leave maps? Or clues to how to operate them (do they need controls, like a switch to adjust destinations)?

Sounds like a driver issue, if it's not just a GPU RAM overload ...

The Kingdom of Heaven will arrive here on planet Earth!

Oh yeah, the far right racist, former pron actress, lesbian MP... why, they still have her in the party... I simply don't get why they haven't booted her long ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Every political party needs some mechanism for grabbing headlines ...!

Let's keep this discussion friendly, and remember it is why one doesn't like their OWN country. Racial slurs will only get this topic locked.

Aw, man, 3DO were great ... apart from the limited all-the-same-clones games they released ...

Um ... is what a fixable problem?

A Greek proverb (that I can't find), appropriated by the Romans: CIBI CONDIMENTVM ESSE FAMEM or, Fifteenth Century French: n'est sauce qui vaille fain

No, they are "taking responsibility" for their own children.

It's not being made by 3DO, I believe Arkane Studios are making it - They made Arx Fatalis. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 3DO? As in the console company that had all the arcade stuff?

That review is about a year old, the one from this month isn't posted yet. From this month's review:

Who's Powergirl? What's her story?

Is that the ancient Japanese technique for storing eja- ... errr ... what is that? "
