I rather wish the 3DO version of The 11th Hour had seen release, but the publisher canned the project quite late in development. There, we had about an hour of video - on CD, it should be noted, not a cartridge - at 288x320 (using an interl

If someone changes their name, does the timing matter with regard to an H-1B application? ie Does it matter much, beyond notifying them, and if so, is it better to perform that change before/during/after the processing?

As a prospective Reddit advertiser, I'm disappointed to learn of this new alteration, as it does seem to dilute my budget considerably. The ability to target specific subs has multiple benefits: - the advertiser knows precisely where t
