Comment Funcom (Score 1) 82

I beta tested Anarchy Online, it was a fairly shitty experience over all. Lot's of bug reports filed. I figured I would give the GA a try... I honestly do not think that they changed anything from the 'Beta' version. To this day I have not bought another Funcom game.

EA Sports Madden franchise seems to be in beta for another 4 months after GA as well.

Comment Re:Lawyers represent their clients (Score 1) 587

Hello NYCL. I have a little question for you. I was under the impression that the DoJ handled criminal, financial, civil matters. If this is the case why would the need copyright lawyers? To me it would seem appropriate to fill the positions with criminal, financial, civil lawyers.

Who knows I could be out in left field on this one though.

Cheers
Keep up the good work.

Vista performance with SSD has been absolutely abysmal that's directly related to the operating system and how it reads and writes data... They are going to try to stave off that technology as long as possible until they figure out how to use it

I posted the link to another board that I visit and someone made a good point.

Japanese Astronaut Tests Stink-Free Underwear 69

Throw away your soap, detergent, and personal hygiene, the Japanese have invented odor-free underwear. Koichi Wakata, a Japanese astronaut living in the International Space Station, is testing the underwear created by textile experts at Japan Women's University in Tokyo. The shorts are designed to kill bacteria, absorb water, insulate the body and dry quickly. They also are flame-resistant, and anti-static. "The other astronauts become very sweaty, but he doesn't have any sweat. He didn't need to hang his clothes to dry. He can wear his trunks (underwear) more than a week," said Koji Yanagawa, an official with the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.

This is similar to the standard driving test for Finland. Everyone must complete and pass their driving tests based on these standards. I suppose that is one of the reason the fins are great at rally and F1. There is a Topgear episode from last year I believe which details it a little more.
