Was I the only one to ever hit that bug where on some missions you randomly found so much Elerium-115 so that you no longer had to worry about depleting it as a resource? That made the game suddenly lot easier to finish.

Also, disagree that the "Terror from the Deep" was poor. It was more of the good stuff and much much harder.

am I naive to think we all would get spied on a lot less if we cleared our browser cookies every couple of hours or at least daily?

building whole cities and landscapes by putting together small bricks piece by piece? would be surprised if they were not all over it in DK, the land of lego.

Same here, stopped watching around 1998. I though it's mostly about the car (which is largely random per-season, yes) and instead of celebrating the design/engineering behind the only things celebrated around f1 are the personalities of drivers, their excesses and their egos.

I think Facebook is not after FB Purity. They are after anyone who could come up with a plugin that scrapes the content and stores it to a db. People using the plugin would get access to the db in exchange: companies could look up prospective employees, ex-girlfriends spy on their defriended ex-boyfriends, etc.

Hell, the idea is so tempting that someone is definitely doing this already. And you'd only need a percentile of the users to get the information for every other facebook user.

can someone explain to me how you can make money on a game like Rochard (one of the games in the bundle)? There is such an incredible amount of detail in the background in each scene, it looks like few thousand hours of work just that.

Wouldn't it be enough to just move sites like this to for instance Russia?

  yum update xkeyboard-config
with the Fedora repos enabled fixes the issue now (the fixed in version is xkeyboard-config-2.3-3.fc16.noarch).

But I said 'better enough'. There are of course investors that can legally get above the index.

One day, mathematicians will prove that any fund doing better enough than the index must be insider trading. All those people from the 90s and 2000s, long retired by then, will be convicted. It's like in cycling when they measure too much hemoglobin in the blood they conclude the guy's doping. The funds' financial records will be their frozen piss samples.

This thing must be fake. I thought they were doing it for the lulz.

> Such rapid inflation will not go on forever.

Isn't it deflation if you can buy more with the same amount of the currency?
