This swift key software is pretty neat!
I'm actually sweeping this message right now, and for the most part it works pretty well! :-)
Indeed swift key's flow is an interesting gimmick.
And in landscape mode you can also split the keyboard so you can type with both thumbs. (but also have the regular mode as well)
Yup. Illegal t bring into the USA. They're often confiscated at the Canadian/US border. Fear of kids eating the toy in the egg. I loved those things as a kid. Politicians are crazy sometimes.
Here's the whole story. The only reason I got to eat some is that by babysitter was from Germany and she snuck them in.
I looked them up in Wikipeda just before I posted my message, so I'm well informed.
That only six children are confirmed to have choked on them in the 35 year history of these eggs is surprising to me. Still, it IS probably some sort of Darwinian art to kill yourself with these... it's damn difficult.
I guess my hopes for a truly great modern Alien game will be forever dashed. After the very mediocre releases of AvP and Colonial Marines, it appears the message is "you don't even have to try anymore, people will buy it". I believe it's currently the best selling game of the year(pretty much saw that coming as the pre-order it's self was top of the Steam charts for a while). Although we'll see what this Crysis game has to say about that(not much likely, Dead Space 3 and DMC didn't). So while there will definitely be more Alien games(Creative Assembly is working on one now), I'm not expecting much at all.
I do enjoy the game, just don't play the console versions... or alone with the AI... or... you know what? Just put it on Recruit or Soldier and go around Jimmy C. Rambo style because that's about all it's worth.
Gotta love Randy Pitchford's stance that anyone who doesn't agree with the fact he used money for the game on Borderlands 2...Sega's money...should be ignored and is a hater.
No offense to those kids who choked on these eggs, but you have to be one fuckin gluton to actually be able to choke on a toy inside the egg, considering the container is only barely two times as small as the egg itself.
No, I refuse to believe that's the reason. I'd more believe the "no incentive for eating candy" thing I've heard.
I grew up with them in Taiwan. I thought they were a Taiwanese thing until I visited Europe and Canada and realized they were a "everywhere but America" thing because of contraband. I was so mad.
That leads to an interesting dilemma. What would happen in the US, if children started choking on gun ammunition?
They'd blame violent video games.
And yes, we had a ton of those when I was a kid. People were collecting the plastic container inside for whatever reason and of course the toys that were inside are still collectors items. Especially when you had one that wasn't as intended.
Nope. THAT is Germany. Supreme Court had a lot of good things to say about video game censorship (Schwarzenegger vs. EMA), while the Bundesverfassungsgericht doesn't really bother.
If children started to choke on ammunition in the US, the FDA would issue a declaration of no objection as rebuttal ("rich in iron and zinc, it is a healthy supplement to a person's diet").
That's the beauty of the determinative compound, Chyron!
While we're in German news... Otfried Preußler died on Monday. I grew up with his stories. He was born on the same day as my grandmother, who is luckily still alive...
Now he can't get the Astrid Lindgren Memorial any more. DAMMIT.

I think there was one or two times when someone in one of my elementary school classes brought in Kinder eggs for everybody. The only toy I remember for sure was the ranger from Yogi Bear, and I thought it was the most awesome thing. And now I realize I have no idea what happened to it.

They used to be easy to sneak in the country and many euro markets sold them illegally but recently they've really cracked down and even bringing them into the country from Canada can lead to fines upwards to 6000 dollars.
Just watched Sony's announcement of the PS4.... ehhh?
The console looks great, but the presentation itself was laughably bad. That one guy was talking about the graphics of "Race Club" almost in an orgasmic way. "Breathe in that car!"
Personally, I found the hardware "unveiling" flashed more warning signs than signs it should be praised. I specifically loved the part that made it sound like Playstation was so far above the PC.
I never jump on board with a console right away anyway, but so far I'm not too excited here. The streaming seems interesting though.

You completely missed the point of that part of the unveiling. This part of the event was aimed at developers. They were showing that they acknowledged the Cell was a mistake, and have now gone for "PC-like" architecture backed up by a lot of unified memory. If you followed any game devs on twitter(like, actual people, not companies), you'd see that this was a major point because it makes developing for and porting to the PS3 a lot easier. It's a "Supercharged PC" not because it's "that much better than a PC", but because developing for it should be as easy as developing for a PC and the hardware is for now ahead of your usual Wal-Mart off-the-shelf computer.

Dude, I watched it at midnight after working 12 hours. Yes, you're right. I still would have liked a more definitive answer on the graphics capabilities as they did with processing.
I've got relatives who live there, but as for myself, I haven't even visited. And would probably freeze to death if I did.
The summers are perfect though. It's just the winter... and the fall... and the spring(unless you live in vancouver, but that's not really typical canada as it's right on the boarder and shares topography with seattle, like toronto and detroit).. lol Yeah, it's kind of crappy the rest of the year and I think about moving every February, but then the summer comes and it's just beautiful out.

Left handed?! Or was it the other hand?
Nope. I told him how to make a Kinder Egg. They're illegal to sell in the USA because of the small parts inside.

Kinder Eggs are glorious. You're not in the USA. Go buy some.

You know, the real crimes we should fight.
Did California secede?
Actually, if they were banned at the state level, California would be the most likely state to ban them.
If I'm not in the US... where am I? In a cuttlefish?

OMG GDDR5!!! (too obviously sarcastic?).
(They just didn't really say enough to me to get any kind of appetite going. -_-)
Didn't exactly set the bar very high either, maybe even Microsoft could hop over it.
I couldn't tell you. I always hated Geography.
(Something evil about it...)
Major warning sign: Social platform nonsense all over. A "share" button on the controller?!? Seriously? :mad:

Africa.
Nah, but alas, as for regulars, it's just myself, MI, and one other I believe who pops by now and then.
...and yeah, Kinder Surprise Eggs are EVERYWHERE here. We just had like 500 show up at my work yesterday as an Easter push.
