    You're more likely to be able to use a gun on somebody more than once. Good luck if you run over someone with a car, doing it multiple times without incurring damage.

    Not that I've ever *cough* thought about doing such a thing...

    Yeah, as if the ME didn't have enough reasons to hate us already.

    none of the profits are supposed to be immortalized

    No no, you're getting your hemispheres mixed up---we immortalize profits in the West. They immortalize prophets in the East.

    I read that one bit at "Portal III will come out this year." I was confused as I didn't know 2 was even out yet...

    Majority, yes, but I wouldn't call 69 percent a "vast" majority. 53 percent (if only IE) is barely a majority at all.

  14. Re:System restore! So we meet again, my nemesis! on Win7 Can Delete All System Restore Points On Reboot · · Score: 1

    We ended up having to use it to fix our borked Windows ME machine on at least 4 separate occasions, and I believe it actually worked every time. Which is all the more surprising, considering it was ME. Hell, it sometimes booted directly to a bluescreen.
