I stopped reading Tom's Hardware because of the constant anti-Intel bias. Read some of the conclusions of their Intel vs AMD shootouts. They generally have something negative to say about AMD.
Uncertain Future for AMD? I'd like to look at benchmarks and draw my own conclusions, thank you very much. I don't need Tom's Hardware predicting the future of AMD's demise!
If it weren't for the biased conclusions and ad laden articles broken into several pages, Tom's Hardware would be great.
Whether you like Microsoft or not, this is bad. Many people have poured their hearts and souls into making that game not just because they like making cool stuff, but because they like to bring happyness to people.
Don't worry. I'm sure the folks playing it right now are very happy.
You assume that all criminals can be rehabilitated. Why waste the time? There's already an overpopulace of decent people in the world. Criminals are often a BURDEN to society from the get go. To spend so much effort on rehabilitating them just makes them moreso and in so doing, you punish the decent folks. Modern social constructs have fallen more and more away from justice and survival of the fittest, promoting crime and general stupidity. I think it's sad, really.
What kind of giddy moral superiority to you get from seeing anyone hurt?
How do you feel about someone getting away with a random and brutal murder? Indifferent? I would feel slighted. Conversely, it would bring a degree of satisfaction if the person were brought to full justice. Why?
1. Said person has absolutely no respect for the person he or she killed and thus I have no respect for said person. If someone is a total asshole to you, are you going to treat them as kindly as you would everyone else?
2. You practically reward them if you let them get away with it. Rewarding poor behavior encourages it. Why encourage people to perform malicious acts? To promote chaos?
3. There are varying degrees of selfishness, and when you bring harm to others to satisfy your selfish needs, you demonstrate that you have no consideration for what you are doing to people. This is why people want to see spammers get spammed. Not just to bring justice, but to SHOW THEM how their victims feel in an attempt to make them realize what they are doing is really shitty.
It's difficult to explain something that is second nature to me. Justice is just. If you can't understand it, you probably never will.

The same thing has happened to europeans for Magic: the Gathering. I know at least one player who couldn't attend Worlds, it having been held in the United States this year.
Those results ceratinly indicate that maybe we should be voting on ISSUES, not candidates.
And btw, I went over to CNN and got all 6 right and I don't watch tv, read the newspaper or follow much in the way of politics. I simply have a basic understanding of our major political platforms.
Republican ideologue: Too many people are wicked... we know what's best for them. [or "I don't like the dems taking my money and giving it to people who can't hack it!"]
Democrat ideologue: Too many people are underprivileged... we must help them (expense to the rest be damned). [or "I don't like reps telling me how to live my life!"]
Libertarian ideologue: Quit fucking with people's lives and mind your own business. Do only what you have to in order to maintain liberty, order & justice.

I couldn't believe that people were actually buying them.
Why is this so hard to believe? Is it too logical for you?
That's a dead alpha link (figures). Perhaps you meant this one?
Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Why is she Black Debbie?
Erm... DEC was first.
And besides... AMD has SMP. Same difference.
"constant anti-Intel bias."
Sigh... I obviously meant anti-AMD.

I stopped going to Tom's Site when I read this:
"Summary: The P4 3.2 EE Wins 32 Times, The Athlon 64 FX-51 15 Times - An Uncertain 64-bit Future For AMD"

You must be new here!
When did it move from Moffett Field?
Anyone know just how many different locations the Museum has had?
here
It's in the fridge, duh!
As a matter of fact, if you listen carefully.. or even not so carefully, in that scene, the music has changed from the original.
Listen carefully?! Are you going deaf?
The most important war, the war on stupidity, has yet to be waged!

3.4 megs and I can't even run it (no .net here). A bit bloated and inconvenient, no?
In fact, that's worse than the time I made a paint program that required the latest Direct X!

Incomparable indeed...
"The card game mixes elements of chess, fantasy baseball and role-playing strategy."
There is NO role-playing in professional Magic. That's like saying there's role-playing in professional Poker!
Are you saying they might be easier to rip into than this guy?

Sulfur Hexafluoride does this.
And it's colorless, odorless, tasteless, water-insoluble, thermally stable, non toxic, and non-reactive.
Bush famously does not go to church.
So all atheists are immoral, then?
I was born in Indiana, but when people ask me where I'm from I say California.
Why?
I don't know shit about Indiana. I didn't grow up there. IT'S NOT MY HOME.
So guess what? As a member of the US public, I too think Bush is from Texas.
