I bought that game more than 1 and a 1/2 years back. A few months later, I started playing it. I saved the first game on 16th april,03 and continued playing for 4-5 days.. getting the hang of it. I've played 2-3 FPS games till now and the only one that has appealed to me has been max payne 1.
I've always played fps games in cheat mode but as a consolation chose the toughest level available.
2 reasons for this-
I don't have much time to play(3-4 days max. Playing w/o cheats would take

Why weren't they taken alive? Why wasn't tear gas and the SWAT Team used? If they were concerned about bombs, why didn't they send in robots to check who was there or not? ---

eglamkowski, you do have a point there that millions would be spent and maybe those europeans would squeak at their death sentence.

This comment will brighten up your day. Read the article from the beginning to understand the significance of that comment.

Read this story(http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A4598-2003May17&notFound=true). There is a shortage of people who have security clearances.

Articles with the word jobs draw so many bitch rants that I have lost my job to overseas competition, automation..etc.
The only way is to adapt to the job market because it is not going to adapt to you in the near future atleast.

Can it get any stupider than this? Why does shit like that have to be even recognised by the courts? Just because you like the matrix and admire it, doesn't give you the right to go killing people left and right. I like the Godfather, does that mean it gives me the right to kill anybody I hold a grudge against?

I was reading a AskSlashdot and saw the sig at the end of the first comment "Karma: Who gives a fuck ".

I was watching a movie on TV5(www.tv5.org). I do not know if France had a big movie industry like Bollywood but my opinion after 2 movies is that it is definitely better than all that shit that bollywood dishes out.

The movies have so much finesse, sophistication that even though these french films might not match the budget of bollywood films, they manage to do entertain a more educated audience.

I read the various comments about cursive writing. Most slashdotters say that they hate cursive writing. Pretty pathetic. When I was in school, we had to take a lot of notes. And I mean a lot. I was regularly among the top in my class who took a lot of notes. During 3 hour exams we had to write 8-12 sides of A4.
I could probably write >120 words per min. Even though I've not written much for the past 3 years(damn engg college), if I practise for a few months, I can still go to 80-90 wor

This is as funny as it gets.
I was reading (http://www.nytimes.com/drivetimes )
and at the end of that article was a quote-

"The wackiest news from J. D. Power's surveys came from Hummer buyers, who complained about poor fuel consumption more than anything else, helping make Hummer the worst performing brand on the survey.

The Hummer? A gas guzzler? Who'd have thought? They didn't tell me that when I bought it!

REad this story today.(Post)

Its so fucking funny and ridiculous, I laughed all the way through the article. This guy is such a character. He spent 900 million on his father's tomb when most of his fucking country is dying.

Just a brief note-
During the iraq war, a few stories appeared on slashdot. There were a lot of comments there. Most were opposing the war.
Thats so sad.
Dumb headed ding dong bells.
I consider them pariahs.
Pieces of shit.
Morons.

I hate this socialism, communist, marxism, leftie(at least some of it) shit.
Capitalism rules. Nothing you can really do about it. Once every few centuries, society will cleanse itself with a revolution.

Had to reinstall xp. Hate it. I have a Motorola SM56 PCI fax modem. When I clean installed xp(see journal entry below), the modem worked fine with win2k drivers. Then I reinstalled xp(xp->xp(upgrade)). It stopped working. Reinstalled xp, didn't help. So today I clean installed it and it works fine.
