OK... So you can make a map out of something else.
Doesn't mean you should.

Not because of the "oh my god, they're shooting in a school/church/hospital/mall/brothel" (fuck people who go off like that),
It's because there's too much out there that's just crap. Probably about 90% of it.

If you're going to do it, go over it and make sure there aren't places where you can get stuck, be sure zombies don't spawn in the safe room, and at least make an effort with the textures.

When 4.0 came out, my first thought was "This is a P&P version of a computer RPG"... Specifically, it reminded me of the Baldurs Gate games for PS2.
Then when they pulled all their PDFs, I just said "fuck 'em"... Actually, I'd said "fuck 'em" a while earlier, this time was "fuck 'em and forget 'em".
(Although the writing was on the wall with that one, given how they wanted to do so much with their online system).
I'd like to try out Pathfinder (supposedly an indie 3.5), but can't FIND it in deadtree.

As for the GW shops...
I always get this weird, smiling cultist feeling whenever I've gone into one.
Also wondered how they stay running, and whether the employees apparent enthusiasm might be exploited a bit.
"Hey bob, wanna take a box of orcs home and paint 'em for the shop"?
Maybe every mini purchased helps subsidize the stores.

I've thought about getting back in to 40K, stuff like this story cools me back down again.
I'll keep my Warhammers with 2 PPCs and a SRM6.

Sure it's safe with water, but what about beer?

The picture reminds me of how I once had a whole can of beer spilled on my mac keyboard...
Bottom side of it looked like a water globe with bubbles instead of fish.

WOW.
What kinda jet was it and where did it happen/come from?

All you need is Fortran.

It was a 2 hour ambulance bypass.
That's nothing. Seriously.
They weren't turning away people at the door, just sending ambulances elsewhere.

Look at when it happened, 1am.
They would have what, one, maybe two if they're lucky, people working at the admit desk at that time.
Yeah, it might back up a bit., but it shouldn't.

This was a failure of hospital policy more than an IT system failure.

disclaimer: I work at a HIMSS level 6 rated hospital.
(I've even had the experience of being an inpatient recently. Knowing the system, I still said "Wow! This is how things need to be run".)
Almost everything is computerized.
Everything is backed-up and redundant, and if the whole thing went down, you wouldn't be coming to us because there'd be a huge hole in the ground.

gods, what is it?

You didn't know what you were looking for, we did.
we found it for you, you WILL find that what we gave you is what you were looking for.
If you have a problem with this, we will kill you.
(or failing that, come close enough for a copyright suit... how about a copyright vest? trousers?... what about a copyright shirt and tie?)

139 euro is about 190 USD...
For that price, I'd head towards the zotac m-ITX core-2 board with PCI-E/16.
Halve the price, and I'd grab it in a snap.

This is what should have happened in the first place.
I have an Intel m-ITX board with the 330, it's nice... I wish it had a PCI-E/16 instead of regular PCI,,,
Could only find an ATI 2400/PCI for it, now that they're out, I might rebuild with a Nvidia 95(6?)00 because ubuntu won't install (complains about memory corruption errors. The. memory. is. OK.).

Intel's graphics are so bad they're criminal.
And please... stop making 230's and just make 330's.

I just hope it's not too expensive,
With a separate power brick made-to-go with this board,,,
A few stand-offs and you can have a nice low-power-draw render cluster.
It'd be even nicer if blender, yafaray, or lux had a branch that took advantage of CUDA as well.

All free speech, is hate speech.
