Nowhere above did I glorify the life of a common thief nor did I say that computer crime was victimless. I simply said the people who do it as a job are less likely to get caught then the ones who do it for prestige.

At least you signed your post with an appropriate name.
According to Valve's own hardware survey, there are 46,770 (4.89%) of gamers who responded to the survey AND have a Radeon 9800. Since the coupon only came with the XT, we can 'guess' that the true # of coupons out there is under 100,000.
iD Software doesn't follow - it leads. For proof of this statement, consult this handy list:
first popular 3d-ish fps shooter: Wolfenstein first popular shareware fps: Doom first fully 3d popular game: Quake first programmer to fund a rocket launch: John Carmack.
Sure. They can roll the vehicle until its upside down if they want. In space, I think they have even more control - even being able to point the nose of the craft AWAY from the direction of travel or straight up (subjectively speaking, of course).
...but what happens when government policy/action/inaction stifles innovation? For an example, take a look at how the US government punished Microsoft for anticompetitive behavior. Also: I wonder how many cool new inventions are swept under the rug because of national security concerns?
This leads me to believe that innovation is at the whim of our government and thus cannot be counted upon to stop outsourcing.
Nope. I am a full time employee for a large hospital. I used to work for a consulting firm until the bottom dropped out. Before that I worked at a CompUSA (~30 days - retail sucks). Before that I was blowing things up in the Marines. Nobody I knew in the Corps was involved in any of those jobs I got.
I feel like I got a better education by travelling around the world, learning to depend on others (and learning to be dependable) than I would have by going to college and puking my guts out for 4 years or so.
What about military service? I'm sure I learned more about life and people during 8 years in the Marines than anybody learns in 4 years of college. Nobody I've ever tried to get a job with has ever indicated that I needed a college degree on top of my military experience. Just to keep things in perspective, I work as one of 12 systems engineers for a hospital US News and World Report ranked the #1 hospital in the nation for heart surgery.
Do you turn away someone who is otherwise good to go, has military experience, but no college?
I blame him for killing over 61K people, which is why I started this thread. I take issue with people who say that we should not have taken his regime out solely because we have not found any WMD's. WMD's were never the point...unless you are in the media or a democrat.

What's your IP address?
Allow me to print out an e-book, and I have to bring the paper back to be recycled into paper for others to print on.

According to http://steampowered.com/status/survey.html:
"ATI Radeon 9600 Series 58,022". That plus my original post = 100K.
So your post is completely false.

I think HL2 will easily sell more than 100K.
Where's the love for blind people?!?!

I don't see anyone doing any better than they did (yet).
Ha ha, made you look.
...hire one. Stick to what you know.

So what? Booting that evil bastard was still something worth doing. See Pres Bush's strategeryic '48 hour ultimatum' speech for details.

So our definition of "fair trial" won't apply. You know, that whole "sovereign nation" thing...
Isn't that reason enough?
