    Yep, that game rules. It didn't work with my GeForce until I got the leaked driver for it though. Pissed me off to no end.

    Unfortunately, I can't afford a Boxster S yet. So, I recently bought a Jetta GLX since my 240SX SE is about to die.

    There are a few Boxsters in my neighborhood. One guy has a sweet bright yellow one (most of the others are black). And some guy has a 356 Speedster... I'm so jealous.

    I've heard that what we consider beauty is normally the result of people with vastly different genetical makeups having offspring. So, I don't believe that genetical engineering will do much for the beauty of the species... at least not after a few generations.

    What distro of Linux do you use on your iBook? I think it's a really sweet little notebook. I thought about the graphite one because it is very classy. But, is 66mHz and a better color worth about $250? I actually like the blueberry (or whatever) colored one.

    The links are there because their filters will never be 100% accurate. Some legal MP3's will be trapped in the illegal section, so the links must remain.

    It seems that MP3Board.com is actually trying to help the RIAA.

    And I thought it was just run by J. Random Scriptkiddie that wanted to post links to his favorite Top 40 MP3's. Now, after hearing about their classification system, I'm impressed: let people know that you suspect these links may point to illegal files so that they can avoid them unless they know them to be legal.

    I'm glad gun control has wonderful people such as yourself on its side. You are one of the reasons we need guns. So that when the government fails us, as it recently did in NY (were you there, Evro?), we can defend ourselves from the likes of you.

    The purpose of the second amendment isn't to allow US citizens access to guns for sport, or for hunting for food. The purpose is to ensure that the populace will be able to overthrow the government if needed. Information has also been supressed in various country's because it can be used to overthrow a government.

    After you get rid of guns, is information next?

    As the people of Slashdot love to say, you can't put the shit back in the horse. Firearms are here. There is no getting rid of them. Criminals, our government, other governments will always have them; I hope that I can say the same for you & I!
