This depends on the file format used for the pages. If it’s plain txt zipping them will greatly decrease the file size. If you just scanned the pages and have them as jpg, png or pdf zipping them will not greatly decrease the file size. The size might still decrease a little bit or increase a little bit.

This goes so far as to totally obscure the meaning of the original saying. It’s not just “The customer is always right.” It’s “The customer is always right in matters of taste.”

I’d say this mostly failed on the direction side. Less budget in VFX and more in action could have made a lot of difference.

None of these things need GPS to function. Even planes. A compass, a map and a clock go a long way.

I love to hate the video game depicted in the X-Files episode First Person Shooter. It is about some kind of VR game that is so realistic that people die in real life. The single enemy NPC Maitreya is just too good at killing.

When they entered the game it looked just like real life. Except the most enticing gameplay they could think of was standing in front of each other and shooting all guns they had.

It was released in early 2000 so there should have been tons of games with enticing gameplay to pull from. But no, standing somewhere for a long time and shooting big guns is exactly how trained FBI agents would act.

The Signal Protocol.

WhatsApp uses the same encryption protocol as Signal. Theoretically they should already be interoperable.

Combine it with a small fold out seat in the handle and you’ve got the ultimate stick.

Signal should be subject to the same law. So I hope all it takes is someone making a bridge that forces Signal to open up as well.

That’s why Ukraine could never join the EU. They actually do something against corruption!

I don’t want to be lured into a false sense of anonymity. It’s pretty easy to find a person if they post enough. Plus I’m using my own instance, which makes it trivial to find me.

On top of that it’s a remnant from my Usenet days. In Germany it was expected to use your real name. Actually strange, considering Germany’s hacker culture and strict sense of privacy.

Tja.

File date says May 2003. I converted it from wmv to mp4 for your convenience.

Is that not basically every MMORPG?

They’ve worked on anti cheat support before. It still depends on the devs actually activating that support. That will always be the case whatever they do.

Why 7 days? An answered question is valuable forever.

OP, you would love the Steam Deck, or in a few months the Steam Machine. Or any other PC with Steam for that matter. With Steam Input you can rebind the controls of even the most stubborn game.

They ported it over to X-Wing in later versions. Also, play XWVM, if you haven’t already.

It’s a sign of the times. When I was a kid the cutscenes were the reward for winning the game, or a portion of the game for those bigger games that could afford more than two cutscenes.

But for my kids cutscenes are the boring things that keep you from playing.
