I have a PC i use exlusively for games, its a games machine, so that wont run Linux ? Windows runs perfectly in it .... strange.

I have Dreamcast that runs Linux ... can i still use it for games ? or did it turn into an office workstation ?

Nintendo Inovations

[feed_me_cereal]

I'm excited to see more on this "cartoon-like" zelda stuff I've been hearing for the game cube. I'm going to get a playstation 2, if for nothing else just to use as a DVD player, but I think I'll probably get a gamecube too if the new zelda is as cool as it sounds. Nintendo seems to always come up with the neatest ideas. It doesn't matter which game companies support the game cube, cause the best console games seem to always be made by Nintendo

Costs

Anyone know (or can estimate) the us retail price?

First, Let me make it clear: I abhor violence of all types. I feel state-backed violence is an afront to humanity - ALL violence from the smallest to the most 'justified' in all forms only re-enforces a future of violence...

Screw you for calling me a "Fucking wanker" ... do you seriously know what it is even like to go through this now as a US citizen?

The rest of the world has experiencd a great deal of war. WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Panama, Cuba, Guatemala, Columbia, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Ethiopia, Yugoslavia, Haiti, East Timor, Laos and many many more states have had domestic armed-conflict with the support/direct involvment of the USofA. There is no modern state without blood on its hands, these acts are terrible under ANY circumstances and should not be tolerated - not in retaliation to this event and not again, ever in future. If you Yanks run off wildly you'll be no better than the morons who justify these actions in any regard. Please see: http://www.humboldt1.com/~016910/ChronologyofTerro r3.html

We're talking about going to war with something that can not been seen ot touched. Exactly - violence begets violence. You cannot fight your way out of this, simply dealing with the reality of the world, its problems, our goals in the shadow of this tradgedy MIGHT be an opportunity for all of us (the whole of humanity) to set the course of this planet right again.

Attacking ANYBODY will only prove that these acts, at some level - from the perspective of the people committing them - are justified... you DO know that to the people who did this, as ill as it was, felt that THEY were also justified.... both the USofAmerica and whoever they might wish to attack would be terribly wrong.

But make no mistake, it may be hard to swallow as an America - AND THIS DOES NOT JUSTIFY OR CONDONE THIS ACT - but American Foreign policy is not blamless or banign... you do reap what you sow... to think otherwise is flately ignorant and nieve.

Re:TROLL??!

Hey thanks, I was a bit pissed by that too.

Not that it really matters (the moderation), but it's the thought that counts.

I also posted something about nostradamus (or however you spell his name) shortly after one of the stories was posted. It went all the way up to +5, Interesting and then once prooved to be false, modded all the way down to -1, Flamebait.

It's not like I invented the rumour. I could understand "Offtopic" or "Overrated", but "Troll" and "Flamebait"? Seriously...

Due to the insane number of posts (more than 8000 on the crisis alone) I would assume that the amount of moderator points distributed is proportional to the number of posts (even I had mod prividges yesterday) and thus a lot of 37337 h4x0r5 l4m3r5 got mod points and went crazy.
