[quote who="LightStar" reply="15" id="3465318"] I remember reading a book I think, but I cannot remember the title as it was back in the 1970's. [/quote] Yes, the fire department has saved us. It has gotten rid of all those antiquated artifacts from a darker time. Protocol F451 has been a bright and shining success. :) :)

[quote who="cardinaldirection" reply="1" id="3465174"] I like Evochron Mercenary quite a bit. Although ironically for a space-sim, you might find it too realistic.[/quote] Do these require the joy stick interface, or is mouse and keyboard ok?

[quote who="starkers" reply="16" id="3464667"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 15Goldman sachs is about to go under because they are gambling with client assets in the sub prime mortgage markets? Fire the CEOS and try them for fraud. Yup, fire 'em and string 'em up fron the nearest yardarm. And obviously they've not learned a thing since the last GFC, which was largely caused by financial institutions gambling in sub-prime mortgage markets with other folks
[quote who="starkers" reply="30" id="3464607"] Here in Oz we recently had a truck driver who was using his mobile phone while doing 120km and no hands on the steering wheel for at least 500m at one point... for much of the time he wasn't even looking ahead at the road, nor was he wearing a seatbelt. Had he caused an accident he would have been in all sorts of trouble.. like up to his neck in it. This was shown on one of our news programmes... and when they tried to

[quote who="smeagolheart" reply="5" id="3463913"] Quoting smeagolheart, reply 2 it does take away the value of a DLC that you paid for when it's great if you use it, but when you don't use it and expect to be entertained by the AI using it you will be sorely dissapointed. I'd like a refund for my purchase of this DLC to be honest. I would be okay if it worked but since it doesn't I paid for somet

I puked a little in my mouth thinking about it. And after the british Sherlock tv series was such a huge success, they didn't learn from that though. [/quote] I watch elementary via the web.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="1" id="3464477"] Agreed! They do remakes because there is no creativity or original thinking left in the movie industry, and all they care about is making money. I mean come on now, how many times has Godzilla been remade! Enough already! [/quote] True! (sadly). Most of the really good stories are now in smaller niche markets - cable TV, etc - smaller, more focused audience. However, also consider t
[quote who="Leo the Lion" reply="12" id="1642119"] Whatever software you go for it's always worth running one of the FREE on-line scanners through your system about once a month.......both ESET NOD and Kaspersky have these facilities on their websites and they are a great 'double banker' to make sure you are clean.

Hey Doc, finally, you get a tricorder to go with your badge! :) I suspect one of the first widespread uses of your new tricoder will be by drug enforcement police/military personnel. All these new techs, rolling out so rapidly - we really are creating a brave new world (negative connotation not intended). I recently watched a very old move, one of the very first to be made: Things to Come. We are creating so many new tools and wonders.

I have found that 'generally,' good shows don't last on the big broadcast networks. However, some of the smaller 'cable/net shows are really good. Niche marketing is here to stay. Helix, on sci fi, and hulu is interesting, with many plot twists. Many others like helix, that would not survive on a big broadcast network.
I hope this trend continues. Prior to this, it seemed the CEO's could royally screw their customer base, abuse the employees, etc., and get rewarded with multi million dollar golden parachutes. As many posts above this one noted: the buck stops with the CEO, that does not mean the money stops there, but real responsibility does. Lets see more of this! Goldman sachs is about to go under because they are gambling with client assets in the sub prime mortgage mar

Usually, the tower is built first. Why? Getting the new hero outweighs the slim benefits of a bell tower or a cleric. Maybe a logging camp first, but they are so rarely available.
I seems that it is a parody site. However, the sad truth is that most of what it suggests about Skyrim and its proper place in life is actually a very accurate reflection of views most evangelical Christians share. My first career involved me deeply in this part of American society. Sadly, the 'parody' is extremely close to the truth. Now I will move on to things that don't make me cry.
