no they didn't. Fallout had zombie bears, dogs, humans,and molerats, but no zombie werewolves. They could probably add them in an expansion though, or someone could make a mod with them.

The traffic may have been coming from the UK and US, but it was Kim-Jong Il who posted the links to the sites on slashdot, thereby bringing the sites to their knees!
Ive had #4 happen to me. A power supply in my computer failed (a name brand one, not a cheap no name brand) and damaged everything attached to one of the 12v rails. This included both drives of a raid1 set. (ironically all my drives that wernt part of a raid set were completely undamaged) I was later able to recover the data from both drives (both had damaged sections but different areas were damaged on the 2 drives allowing for a complete recovery between the 2 of them)however it goes to show that just having a raid array wont completely protect you from hardware failures.
I used Norton Antivirus for a while (made by Symantec).
number of times it stopped me from getting a virus: 1
Number of false positives: 7 (security tools and a Y2K joke program)
Number of times it screwed up my computer: 2 (Once randomly and once when I went to uninstall that piece of crap)
honestly Id be better off with no protection than with their product.
Nice story, except Edmonton isnt anywhere near the ocean. You would have to be hunting moose, not sea lions, and using moose fat for candles, and dont forget the hand spun moose fur wicks.
Do you think he or she would dare step aboard?
The only time i watched the shopping channel was when they were selling star trek merchandise with John de Lancie on the show. He was making fun of all the products. Unfortunately i don't think they ever had him back again. With Ala Carte would we be paid for having the shopping channel? Can we have a plan with only shopping channels and get a check in the mail each month?
The atom processor dosn't have the performance of a 1.5Ghz Pentium M. It has the equivalent performance in benchmarks of a 1.2Ghz P3 processor (circa early 2001) or a core2 with only one core running at about 750Mhz, or a 500Mhz Core 2 Duo. comparing Mhz between different processors is often like comparing apples to oranges.
I had somthing similar happen with sprint, they told me I had downloaded $300 worth of phone applications while I was in denver. I have never in my life been anywhere west of the mississippi river. Took about 12 hours on the phone with them to get it resolved. Im much happier with verizon.
I had longer uptimes that that with windows ME! I once had a 63 day uptime with windows ME (stupid updates making me restart. grrrr
Just get a new case for it.
My grandmother gave her old computer to my uncle and bought a new one because it was "full". By "Full" - her email inbox was full. My uncle got a 2 year old computer for free.
They are also faking their caller ID. Ive gotten calls from them that appear to from people other than who they say they are.
Ive actually rickrolled those guys calling about the warrenty thing (as well as making several complaints to the FCC about them). I would hit 1 to speak to someone when they called, and placed the phone next to a speaker with "never going to give you up" playing. (and those of you who say i should just tell them to remove me, i did, many times and they would just hang up on me and not remove me) Anyway i hope the government throws the book at them, or places them in stocks and let the public throw books at them.
Maybe he was stuck on a raft in the ocean with nothing to drink but his urine and a cup of mcdonalds coffee? personally id go for the urine first.
yea, anyone could use the past presidential administration as prior art.
