Because they're not putting fiber optic over entire state.

So, I just read on the BBC that Google is putting fiber all over the US city of Kansas...didn't know Kansas was just a city.

Kansas City =/= Kansas

Kansas City is a metropolitan area in Missouri and Kansas which must not be confused with the city Kansas City, Kansas, as well as Kansas City, Missouri or even Kansas City, Oregon.

That's as much Kansas as can.

Bought me a camcorder finally. (Have been using Digital Cameras my whole life)
First thing I did was put it in my fish tank, as they are water proof.

When I read it the first time, it just said "Kansas" which tickled me because I grew up in Missouri (unfriendly neighbor to the east of Kansas). Everyone knows that if you stand in Kansas City, MO you can see Colorado in the West.

Saw Motörhead live this evening... Christ I was, for some reason, hoping that they would have an interesting set list. But nope, it's still the same shit they've been doing for decades: 10 same-y sounding songs and the only exciting ones are the popular ones. Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking blowing 30 euros on it. Won't do again

Something I was going to ask. When you're on a forum that has a thread that's 2000 pages long, do you read every single page before posting? If the forum has a search function that only searches thread titles (simple search, compared to something advanced which searches by members, within threads, by date, etc), how would you know if what you're trying to ask, hasn't been said before?

I'm still kind of confused about this. Someone wouldn't be expected to read all 2000 pages posting something? Sitting there for 2000 pages could take hours to weed through all of that.

Not sure how other people do it.

You can try google. It has a "site:" option.

Through search. Almost no one reads every page if they weren't there at the beginning of the thread..

I highly recommend it if you like well paced story driven action game, the violence is beautiful.

I'm burning through it tonight.

I have Max Payne 1 (got it back when it launched in 2001), and Max Payne 2 I had bought in 2009 or so. Max Payne 3 seems like a pretty big game. Almost 30 GB. Or perhaps it uses high resolution textures? (eg. 2048x2048 or 4096x4096 for characters or world textures)

That's one of the things I missed about Mass Effect 3 was that the textures didn't really look very nice (highly compressed, very blocky and pixelated). My FSX textures are nice and crisp (4096x4096 for aircraft cockpit textures and exterior models and 4096x4096 for clouds and environment textures). Of course, those are mods from third party developers through the use of the SDK, rather than from the base game Microsoft released.

You're welcome, it's brilliant. I want to play Assassin's Creed 3 as well but I will wait until it's €5 next year.

Now back to shooting people in the mouth in Max Payne. Italians are such fun to kill in this game. I heard one shout "Fuckin Fuck!" as he got a bullet in the nuts!
