Bought Deadspace for ten bucks from Steam. Where's the manual?
Cronos
to play it but I need to see all the default keyboard commands so I can
program my Fang gamepad for it.
BTW, if anyone buys this game make sure to turn off vsync or else you
will get bad mouse lag.
Cronos
OK, here's the manual with keyboard list on page 1. WTF can't they
bundle it with the game download instead of me having to go find it on a
web page?

Because if they did, you'd be complaining that the 10 meg PDF for each
game was eating all your hard drive space.
Please go buy a Wii.

Do you ever get the feeling you're just not cut out for PC gaming? I
see a console in your future.. lol

Screw you. I have a $350.00 eBook reader to move all my .pdf manuals to.
How about you?

Oh, it's you again, the twerp who thinks he is God's gift to gamers. The
fact is you can't run any game as admin from within the Steam client
itself which is what my complaint was. Your solution was a work-around
and not the solution to the real problem, which I already knew about.
Your talking to someone who goes back to Dos 6.0 and not some noob so
fuck off.

With 3TB of HDD space I doubt that.

I read a shitload of books, but I only actually *bought* a few, and
those I spent a lot for. I tell you, I've found online free e-books
from gutenburg and other sources, that have saved me hundreds of $$$
and which have opened new worlds which wouldn't (practically speaking)
have been available to me otherwise.
But in no substantial way does anything compare to the hardcover copy,
which costs $$$..
To date, I think standalone e-book readers are too expensive for what
you get..

Nope, never taken it outside of the house yet. But lets see you store
350 books in the footprint of one novel and not pay one cent for any of
them. Sounds to me like you are the Luddite so don't know why you are
telling me to go buy a Wii just because I complained that a Steam game
didn't include a manual with the download. Who shit in your Wheaties? Fag.

You must be one of those Walmart employees that thinks they know more

department to the iPod department.

Hey look, your name changed. Calling me a Wal Mart employee while
bragging about an e-book reader like its a Ferrari doesn't quite add
up.
I'm doing fine thanks, and don't need to change my name every week to
keep from getting drummed out of the newsgroup.

I used to use it on the IPAQ (Mobi) but now have it on the NC10.
Working around Europe the NC10 has become my library of books, music,
films and TV series. Really good for (older) games too.

It was sarcasm, moron, and not bragging.

Was on a different computer using a different Usenet account so never
changed any name, look at the headers for proof, dip-shit. I have 4
computers and 3 Usenet accounts and they all use different user names.
Got a problem with that? TFB.

Well, I have a GPS that can also play MP3 and display photos, so there.

Anno Domini:
I got the Treo as a hand-me-down (less than a week old) start of the year,
so can't complain. It was the first best Telstra NextG (850MHz) device
almost 2 years ago which I rolled out a dozen or so as a trial in my
company. Oddly enough, the POS Blackberry Bolds (sales rep/consumer trash,
just like the i-phone if you ask me) have overrun it now - non-techs just
want something simple, like them :). Win Mobile OS is a pita though.
Anyway, the Palm Pre is my next device of choice when they finally release
it down under *sigh*. I just want a good e-book reader & a mp3 player for
audio books while I drive. Screens are too small/crap on most PDAs for
movies (I have a laptop for that after all if I'm going away).

I'm not planning on moving to the Pre because you need to pay monthy
to use it, as I understand.

Does Palm Pre have ePaper type screen or is it just larger LCD screen?
For reading you want proper eBook because the screens do not tire your
eyes like LCD does. That's why eBooks are so expensive, it's the screen
tech that makes them unique. eBooks have been around in the market since
2000 so it's not like it is brand new tech and is why they cost so much.
Sony has been making eBooks since 2004.

Forgot to say, Sony PRS-600 eBook plays MP3 and has headphone jack so
you can plug headphone jack into your car and can listen to audio books
off it, you can even draw on the screen and store notes on it too using
a virtual keyboard.

The backlight on my TX is a feature, not a problem. It means I can
read in the dark without having to disturb other people in the room by
turning on a light.

True, but not for hours on end like one can with an eBook. Seriously, I
find my eBook easier on the eyes than traditional paper and ink even.
Backlight uses fluorescent lighting which is known to make people feel
tired, some even get headaches from it.

OK, but I consider having a mobile phone a detriment and not a benefit. :)

There is that. Just reminded me I haven't had a single day off (without
being on call & usually called) for almost 7 years. I actually diverted all
my calls over the 10 day break I took & got 2 days in a row without being
hassled - woo hoo! Got about 500 emails to come back to from what I saw
briefly when I had to vpn into work to check some personal emails I thought
I might have. But I've stuck to my resolve & refused to reactivate my email
on the Treo - only 1 day to go! :)

Poor guy. That would drive me insane. I even put a call blocker device
on my land line phone to stop spammers, if they get through that I don't
answer unless they leave a message on the answering machine, number is
unlisted too. No one gets through to me that I don't want to talk to, no
one. I had some idiot computerized spammer calling me 7 days a week
almost every 2 hours and they never got through to me once. They even
tried 8:00am on a Sunday, morons. I apply the same level of security to
my phone as I do the internet. :)
