If you want a fantastic FPS experience (not just killing 2 ninjas/terrorists/thugs/... in a hallway end on end) get No One Lives Forever 1 and 2. They're spy games, but funny ones at that. The enemy thugs are usually having funny conversations that not only rewards those that sneak up and listen, but gives a whole new meaning to baddies in a game. Not just henchmen without a soul The single player experience is rich. There is still a server or two online for both games, in which my preference goes to the NOLF 2 multiplayer for throwing bananas around to 'tag' the opponent. Think Austin Powers in game. Found on eBay for great price, recently bought both of 'em together for $10

Many seem to like it. Myself I got to play it a bit about 4 months ago at a turbine event. Wasn't too impressed, but was a very limited demo. Running around and trying to find the right console button to send the minions waving in got a bit repetitive and not immersing

I have used picasaweb in the past for placing some albums (vacation etc) online. Definitely my recommendation for hosting albums. It's fast and it's my favorite fast album viewing system, I wish others would use it more.As for the auto-sort mechanism - neat, but I already have pics categorized on HD.

Why should this not be possible, IP bound?Have you tried running it in IE and Firefox at same time?If you want both accounts at same time in Firefox it will be too problematic with the sessions.

Hmm? With weekly chapter releases an anime episode can easily cover 3 manga chapters and the anime catches up, thus fillers. This only applies to unfinished manga series though like Bleach, naruto and one piece. Sure I liked those when I started to watch anime at age of 15. Now when I look back on it, it's trash. But it gets you started. Yeps. Though many prefer animation for various reasons. I find it great to combine both. Watch the anime, and cover story stuff the animation skipped in the manga. If it's slow connection, you'd usually have to wait a while before it properly streams anyways. Having copies on a HD has numerous advantages, while watching better quality. If you're on 56k I can understand that. However it isn't just for having a copy on the HD with better quality, it's broadening your field. Streaming sites have limited amount of anime that's usually restricted to shounen power-up series like Naruto. You get to know so much more when freed from that bond, pick the group of your liking etc. I see it as growing up anime wise (becoming a bit more patient is a great skill to train that is very rewarding too). But yeah, perhaps they are only interested in watching 1 such series a week. Sure thing, whatever they please.

Streaming media? You have much to learn. People who watch it on youtube, streaming media, or pay for a DDL service are simple minded fools. The quality is atrocious, the range limited, the service unreliable, the speed slow and in case of the latter: costly. Want to watch a series? Check out reviews of finished, or currently released series. Found your pick? Excellent. http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl Check out the rating/comments on which fansub group to follow. Visit their IRC channel, and download via XDCC. Free, high quality, great subs and fast. Profit! Many fansubgroup sites link to other sites with DDL up for their releases. Other solution: torrent. animesuki, tokyotosho.com and other sites link to torrents of great releases. And yes, there is far more out there than Naruto, Bleach and One Piece or whatever your favorite pick of everlasting shounen power-up anime is. As for legal, it only really is if isn't licensed in the US - albeit that is somewhat of an unwritten rule.

To be honest, I haven't played the old real RPGs (Baldur's Gate etc). That said I'll settle with Knights of the Old Republic I for my best RPG experience. Currently waiting for Dragon Age (Bioware) to be released. It seems to me you only play browser games. Hardly accounts to the genre.

Based on your own usage, or of your friends or community you post. You can't estimate good statistics like that with such an extremely limited test crowd. Anyways ... As much as it may be a surprise, I use google. Used Live Search for a while back when google returned more spam results than useful ones. I used to use Copernic a year or two ago (program that combines the results of various search engines). I may when I have to find important stuff for say, essays and the like.

Well, although it's only a bit more DPS than the caster dagger that drops it's the haste rating that gives it an insane boost. Of course, that means taking two of these. A better screenshot (of someone getting the drop and not just modelviewer); Click for bigger. Can't find the other screenie with 2 peeps next to each other with the main hand.

And even then could have been something like "Doing this and this, you can add the same person twice in your addressbook!".Don't pay too much of a price for curiosity, for there are many 'secrets',mysteries and things that just are but untold to others in the world :PWell another reason for them not selling is their vague description. It doesn't seem of much use to anyone.

Strange. Here in Belgium attended my first bachelor year of Information Technology (for master in CS). Focus is theoretical of course, but with its share of programming (objected oriented methodology) and and algorithms. It is that aspect that got me in and keeps me going. Software development is of much more interest to me than hardware or merely design.

Great news, heard a handful of stories from lads with the infamous Ring of Death, yet refused repairs from Microsoft. Some even wouldn't get a refund because they claimed the problem was overheating rather than Ring of Death. Oh we do hear a lot of bad stories, and it seems the failure rate is insanely high (estimate of 30%). If you haven't had repairs yet, cherish those boxes.Grats to those that got their deserved repairs this way.

Yeah. I mean, talking extensively about the game is the same as playing it NONSTOP and dying out of heart failure or dehydration, right? This is an extreme example. They hit the news because it's bizarre, but also extremely rare. As others have mentioned it's not even certain there is a correlation because of his cause of death. And it doesn't matter crap if it were WoW, Everquest, or just nonstop music listening or marathoning some TV series. If his death was indeed from an overload of his hobby, then that is sad.

Well, as much of a nuisance they may be, if you don't use other explorer programs like Total Commander you'll slow Windows Explorer by disabling it. Currently I only have troubles with it when I'm swapping some files, come back, and notice it stopped at the start because it wasn't sure if thumbs.db had to be moved as well. Sigh. Briealeida, try to keep up or face the slowness . Haha, made me laugh.

Although the disk won't be as pretty!I gather it's because of bandwidth limit reasons. It's only ~700mb, so don't think it would be too much of a hassle for your bandwidth.

Not sure if this reply counts, but started using Linux now and then for disk maintenance if Windows would have a bad day. It's great to have a live disk ready to solve troubles quick.

Even if it is real and done by humans, I see even less facts on table or raw data on how much can be realistically done to save it - if even possible. I, and I believe many others, are sick and tired of this propaganda everywhere. Goddamn annoying rather than informative. As it is now, I have little reason to believe much can be done to prevent said Global Warming. For example, we could all live as cavemen, and only have global warming postponed for 20 years as a result of that. Taking precautions can halt the development of African countries, and just little precautions like "don't use the car if it's only 3 miles away" aren't significantly effective. I'd rather see more articles on what can be done and which effect it would most likely have. Droning "waah global warming" annoyingly several times sadly makes me take an opposing viewpoint.

Aye it does look neat. But it's essentially a little cinema and will be costly, I doubt we'll see this in homes, but sounds lovely for restaurants and the like. One of does implementations that bring us a little bit closer to all the scenes described in science-fiction movies .

Interesting, didn't bother to look up yet how this did work. It does sound a bit like extortion or rather black-mail. Sure, QA of said program should be able to figure it out and protect it. If some people want to turn it into a full time job, they have to be prepared, not every job is in the right place or has demand for. What use will the address book have? Might be something mundane or meaningless, or not relevant at all. I wouldn't waste money on things like that at all - Don't think it's even for use of those with evil intentions. I think your curiosity will get very disappointed.

As the others pointed out, it's quite a hassle and not that feasible. It shouldn't be more troublesome to rewrite whatever you're working with to work with the auto_increment and missing ID's. I assume you query the values with ID+1 - either do nullcheck or take the next value in list like all database programs do.

Neat pictures. Although a word of advice, try not to shoop your first pictures too much (or not at all) and focus on scenery, or how the photography turns out.Of course Adobe© Photoshop© software makes many pics look better, a stronger foundation will make them turn out even better as well as training your general photography skills.Well done.

Well if you want a short and sweet answer, check out existent documentation like the extensive help file. You seem to have rather general questions, which are explained in documentation. I advise you only to ask on fora for more specific questions (like, 'A combination of X and Y seems to give Z error, although in this case that is impossible because of B - whats going wrong?'). Those on fora will not reconstruct the manuals for you.

Surprises me with all these alternatives that many still use rapidsearch and megaupload to share files. Quite a pain in the *bottom* with the "you must wait 2 hours". Although ... please list speed as well as sharing features of mentioned site. Sure, storage is neat - but not when the service is unreliable or slow, or if it's only for self storage.

Rarhost seems a handy site if download speed is fast. For my upload files I use orbitfiles.com at the moment. 6gb limit, any file and denote which specific items can be shared and with whom. Bad thing is max 40mb per file.

Well, my favorite free programs that I use on a daily basis must be;Firefox - for obvious reasons. A fast and very customizable browser with tons of addons allows for very powerful surfing indeed. Especially the lack of adblock on other browsers gives it a big plus for me.Media Player Classic - My favorite media player. Small and compact, and plays everything for me. Fullscreen and how it reacts on window focus change or click makes it ideal for me to watch on another screen.Messengers: Xfire (clan track system comes in handy when you're in need of that extra hand) and Pidgin (combine gtalk/msn, more appealing chat layout)
