Individually they are games worth defending (even in small combinations)....
But if you put them all together and make a massive Jew killing, children molesting, woman raping, tax evading, cop killing, Jesus crucifying, car-jacking, non-handicap person parking in a handicap spot, all this being done while drinking booze, getting high, and pimping out one's own sister....
I fly constantly for business...typically out 30 weeks out of the year on business.
One trip coming back from Europe to Minneapolis/St. Paul (NWA of course on an A320, if I remember correctly), my wife and I were sitting in the front seats with the attendant in front of us (facing us). We had been talking and still were as we were landing. Another Flight Attendant went on the PA, and was starting to announce the landing. We had just touched down and you could hear the brakes and the plane start to slow down...Next thing you know I was fully back in my seat, the attendant in front of us, I swear to you, her hands we almost fully out-reached as if trying to touch me, and he eyes seemed an inch or more out of her head. The pilot had all of a sudden released the brakes, changed the flaps, and FULL throttled the engines. We were back in the air and climbing at what seemed a 90 degree angle. As we went around in a holding pattern again the pilot came on, semi out of breathe, and explained to us that some other pilot was about to lose his job. He had started to cut across our landing path some ways ahead of us, and the pilot had to pull up immediately or we would have collided.

"I'm fucking tired of people putting down one of our most ethical presidents since Andrew Jackson."
Better than Gore would have been. Better than Clinton. But not the most ethical since A. Jackson.
"George W. Bush is not a lazy president. He has done a lot. He has given the Iraqis something they didn't know before: freedom from an evil man."
Agreed.
"He has worked to spread Christianity around the world."
Yeah, and Osama bin Laden used similar Military Tactics to Spread the Muslim beliefs. George W. just used semi-non-Terrorist type Military
"He has lowered taxed..."
Depends on which Tax bracket you are in.
"...and improved education with No Child Left Behind."
I would not consider this to be improving Education. The No Child Left Behind measure was pure stupidity.
"George W. Bush has fought evil terrorists and the War on Drugs with success."
Terrorists...many but not all...N. Korea, Iran, etc.. War on Drugs...NO! And success is a little bit strong of a term for what it currently is...
"He has helped make the Judicial branch more ethical by putting in judges that will support life (no playing God with stem cells)..."
Let other countries surpass the US in Medical Research...let sick people die...Yeah, he did that.
"...keep media free from obscenity,..."
Free of Speech. With so many Cable, standard TV, website, newspapers, and other media outlets out there, there is no need to restrict media. Let it do what it wants, with ratings, and let people choose to watch, read, and listen to what they want. Else if you want government control of Media...move to China.
"...and oppose evil gay marriage."
HAHAHAHAHA. Evil Gay Marriage. Evil Right-wing Christian Nuts.
"George W. Bush should have another term so we can win the War on Terrorism like we won the war in Iraq."
Everyone in the world needs to go and buy an 802.111/b/g/n (whatever) Wireless Access Point/Router. Give it an SSID of "FREEACCESS", broadcast SSID, no encryption or security. Then restrict it to only have access to the internet, and not your home network (however you would like to do it), and throttle the bandwidth to an acceptable limit. Now place the Access Point/Router in your front yard.
Magically you have given anyone in the world the ability to utilize "your" Internet IP Address.
The only thing you can get charged for now, is if they actually find the files on your PC. Even then, if you use Auto-Logon, or no password at all, anyone with access to your house physically could have done that on your PC...
1) High Price
2) Forcing Blu-Ray down people's throats (Beta-Max, plus HD-DVD has the porn industry behind it)
3) Lack of solid supporting games
4) Hack Job of a "Motion-sensitive" Controller (Wii-mote rip-off)
5) Cell Processor Issues (some Cells do not have all 8 cores functional, and will not be noticed until further games utilize/require all parts of the Cell)
6) Development Difficulty
7) Loss of most "exclusives" Third-Party games
8) False Sony claims (PS3 = PC replacement; PS3 will last for multiple decades; PS3 will bring massive damage to the enemy's weakspots
9) Focusing on graphics means worse game play (usually)
10) Slow sales for the start is spelling disaster already. Developers canceling Games, and moving to Wii and the 360.
There are plenty more reasons too.
ESRB vs. MPAA
EC - Early Childhood (3yrs+)
E - EVERYONE (6yrs+)
E10+ - EVERYONE 10+ (10yrs+)
T - TEEN (13yrs+)
M - MATURE (17yrs+)
AO - ADULTS ONLY (18yrs+)
G - General Audiences (All Ages Admitted)
PG - Parental Guidance Suggested (Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children)
PG-13 - Parents Strongly Cautioned (Some Material May Be Inappropriate For Children Under 13)
R - Restricted (Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent Or Adult Guardian)
NC-17 - No Children 17 and under (No One 17 And Under Admitted)
X - Adults Only (18 or 21 and over only, depending on local laws, typically pornographic in nature) [No longer a "true" MPAA Rating]
So basically:
EC & E correlate to G
E10+ correlates to PG
T correlates to PG-13
M correlates to R
AO correlates to NC-17
X has no Game partner...though technically AO fits it better than AO fits NC-17.
Urm, think he meant Dell, (which already offers Linux on its machines), not an imagined megacorp buying and impementing a million PCs in one go.
Not sure that's ever happened.
You've obviously never worked for Siemens!
Siemens has an office specifically at the M$ HQ, as well as one close to Dell in TX for those specific reasons of MASS quantity purchases. Rolling out new PCs every 2yrs company wide...buying quantities so large with PC so specific Siemens Dell PCs get their own unique Dell Model Number that is Siemens Specific Only.
Siemens easily purchases 1M PCs a year from Dell...for internal use and customer use (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, PDA, Servers, Clusters...etc.)

That was one of the flights we will never forget.

Well you get where I am going with this...
You think that is impressive...
Ever play a little PC Game called Elderscrolls: Daggerfall?
Talk about a game world bigger than big, and fit o a single CD and under 1GB uncompressed on your HDD, and ran on a Pentium I.
And the graphics were not that bad either.
Nice. I really hope I didn't accidentally read this and ruin the book.
