    Nah, Macs are too cool for you. Perhaps this shiny new Gateway Laptop is more up your alley. It's definitely your color!

    but i'd take this anyday if it were for the pc. consoles will never be near that of pc gaming. it's just that simple. i think console gaming is similar to the mac idea. they are just overrated. a good example would be halo. cany fellow who has played q3 or the like with keyboard and mouse is completely disgusted the joke of a handling system.

    The Darwin award is made by a buch of white men to put down the black men. Read it, and read all the darwin awards, you'd always find a minority in a bad situation. This is a racist award and it should not be refernced on /. unless you are a racist pig yourself.

    Q: How many racist pigs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    A: None! Make your (favorite minority group) clean your house in the dark!

    HOT MILLIONS (1968)

    Got to see this one. It is the first "cracker/hacker" movie ever made. Excellent performance by Peter Ustinov as the hacker. This film was 30 years ahead of its time. A must see for all geeks. It will be on soon, so tune your cable or satellite in for a real treat.
