    I wonder if Icculus (Ryan C. Gordon) of Loki fame had anything to do with this?? Oh yes he did.

    It shouldn't have been that hard to port the code for the linux client over to mac os, since both architectures are similar. Regardless, good job Icculus :)

    Oh my dear god in heaven. I've heard of feeding the trolls, but it is just plain illegal to pull out your penis and make the troll lick it. For christ's sake, you made up an argument the troll wasn't even trying to say.

    What a pathetic waste of effort!

    torpor's post was absolutely necessary. but i need to add my own opinion on this. this nations army will be the death of this planet. do any of you realize where these bombs we drop go, and what they do? here have a look: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article26 04.htm

    those are your everyday iraqi civilians, they did nothing wrong yet they are the ones who suffer and feel pain and loss. saddam is likely still alive, we have no control over iraq and this country once again underestimates how hard it is to maintain a democratic stronghold in a region which absolutely detests democracy. face it people, this war was to secure oil deposits and to make bush look good so he can get re-elected and spread his right wing conservatism even more across this nation.

    this country has grown to empirical status and its nothing to wave your flag about yet. "with great power comes great responsibility" and our "shoot first ask questions later" foreign policy isnt looking too good for that "responsibility" portion.

    i know my post has nothing to do with the original, im just hoping to reach out to some people out there, question everything in your life. dont fall over on command like a bunch of dogs. go out there and learn things for yourself. and our country's media is absoultey horrendous for foreign affairs. check out bbc.com.
    and remember: the more islamic fundamentalists we kill, the more of a reason they have to hate us and get more to join their cause. a war on terrorism is futile, the threat will never cease to exist and we have to deal with it, our nation must open its eyes for the first time in decades.

    even if the start up screen does say "YMRA EHT NOIJ"

    If you were going for the Simpsons reference, the correct phrase is "YVAN EHT NIOJ". Bart was unknowingly recruiting for the Navy, not the Army.

    Woman Changes Her Name To GoVeg.com

    NORFOLK, Va. (Wireless Flash) -- A Norfolk, Virginia, woman has taken her love of vegetarianism to the extreme by changing her name to GoVeg.com The-vegan-formerly-known-as Karin Robertson changed her name to the same as that of a vegetarian information website to encourage meat-eaters to become vegetarians.

    23-year-old GoVeg.com, a Youth Project Specialist for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, says her new name is a great conversation starter.

    But life isn't all a bed of lettuce. Since she changed her name, she's had some trouble at airports, but she says security guard believe her when she shows them her drivers license.

    GoVeg.com says her mother worried at first what she would do if she got married, but GoVeg.com says her parents know how much animal rights activism means to her.

    Now, GoVeg.com says she couldn't imagine changing her name back saying, "To be named after the number one website for vegetarian information -- what could be better?"
