Dude you're stupid. You can't compare a 2000 pound car to a crotch rocket. It's a fucking engine and two tires.
As for a 9 second 1/4, turn off fast and the furious. I live in vegas, and we have a 1/4 mile track down there where every weekend it's legal street racing. EVERY FUCKING TIME some jackass comes in with a v8 muscle car and some pissant little wet-injection NOS system rocking 250 shots into a stock fucking engine he either looses or blows a rod through the hood of his car, often both. The imports just OWN him. There's a celica here that ran an 8.5, and the fastest car in town, while American, is still a ricer, a doge talon. Shit, I have to shied my eyes during import vs. muscle car races because the muscle car's doors keep flying at me after getting blown off.
You misseed my point, like everyone else on here. From the absolute beginning, this product was created to play pirated roms. The company knew they could turn a profit with a product like that. It has ALWAYS been the major, primary purpose of the product. 99% of the people that use this purchased it to play pirated games..001% of people that use straws sniff blow with them. See the difference?
Your computer wasn't invented specifically to do illegal things. This was. And the funniest shit is you actually believe them when they claim otherwise. It was used to play roms, end of story. Anything else they say is a marketing technique developed so they could legally sell them.
No, every CD ripper shouldn't be an illegal thing. But you've got your head in the sand on this one. You know full damn well the primary purpose of this product will be to play illegally-downloaded roms. Regardless of what the company says, or whatever the falsely altruistic people claim, EVERYONE knows this product will primarily be used illegally. Don't kid yourself on that. You're talking what could or should, I'm speaking of what is.
A GOOD cat-back exhaust(catalitic converter all the way back) system DOES add about 5-6 HP. This is a proven fact(I've dyno'd my car before and after..they do). Not all of them sound like scooters either. You can get some GOOD throaty exhaust notes with the right company. Borla for instance.
As for the stereo..sometimes you think to yourself "damn this song rocks..EVERYONE should hear it. As stupid and childish as it sounds, sometimes you just want people to look. Nice, fast, clean car with couple 12's in the back..you're showing off, nothing wrong with it, but be honest.
As for the playstation thing, my thoughts have always been "you don't want that. you want your FRIEND to have that. that way, you can make him drive, you save on gas, and get to bust out some gaming while he drives."
Um, that arguement is flawed and constantly brought up time and time again on/.
The company has to take some responsiblity knowing that 99.9% of the people that buy this our going to do illegal things with it. If I stand out on the corner in south-central LA and give away hunting rifles, I'm DEFINATELY contributing to murders. No way in hell "but hunting isn't illegal!" is flying with anyone.
The American muscle car is dead. Whenever someone talks about it, it's always some car from 30 years ago. The only American muscle car that MIGHT be able to compete with me with is Viper. Corvette, Mustang..it's done, they're blurs in my rear view mirror. And that's stock. I put a direct-port NOS system on that running 100 shots...viper would be my bitch.
You're insane. Good graphics do NOT immediately mean good gameplay. No other game I've EVER played, with the possible exception of Full Throttle and Sam & Max, have been as much fun as Duke. From the time I modified Hollywood Holocaust to include a secret room full of camera monitors, weapons, and health and then installed this map over the base map on all my friends machines when they weren't looking to the time in multiplayer where someone tried to throw a pipe-bomb through a window at me, MISSED, and then caught the thing as it bounced back into their hands no other game will EVER make me laugh like that again.
In college pulled one that people still talk about. Me, mostly.
A friend of mine had taken a real liking to online trading through Datek. I had the great idea to spoof their security division's email address and send him one accusing him of insider trading. Guess he didn't pick up on the fact that most emails of this type wouldn't contain the sentence "stick around there so we can arrest you when we get there."
He comes rushing into my dorm room(at a REALLY, REALLY bad time, mind you) screaming up and down about FED's and insider trading and this and that. My girlfriend and I can barely contain ourselves and luckily he took off again to call his father before we lost it. I go downstairs, and a mutual friend that was in on it tells me I've gotta tell him the truth, because he just called his father. Turns out his father is some fat cat attorney back in Cali. I come clean, he takes a swing at me, it was all in good fun. To this day I still say to him "remember that time I made you think you were going to spend the rest of your life in prison?"..good times.
yeah, the april 1st stuff only works if you through some real stories in there to throw people off.
I'm still waiting for the DNF goes gold post.

I've actually started collecting original CD's for their nostalgia value. I'm currently trying to acquire all the original lucasarts games. I got Full Throttle in the original celluphane the other day and I'm working on getting day of the tentacle..which that code wheel thingy and all.
A friend of mine just got the OG duke3d with the mousepad..still wrapped in celluphane. Fun hobby I've picked up..should be interesting to see what else I can get.

Actually, your comparision is stupid. Car to Car vs. Car to Motorcycle is wildly off-base.
And learn to tell the difference between a spelling mistake and a typo. That's EASILY the leading ignorant slashdot mistake.
But I'm glad you ran out of arguement and assaulted a few typos.

I've heard honda civics that come off the line sounding like Formula 1 cars. All about how much money you have.

Borla cat-back running from an Injen intake. You drive by and it sounds like 2 tigers are fighting each other under the hood.
I try to buy them on the amount of horsepower...Impreza STi..drool..blows the doors off a stock 2003 vette/mustang.

Halo..8 stories high.
Which reminds me..I really need to go watch another omnimax movie, the everest one was the shit.

Somehow I'm reminded of Prof. Frink's remote-control airplane..the one with his son in it..
"Oh, no, my wife is going to kill me."
I run 2k. I've NEVER had a problem with it that required a reboot. Not ONCE.
No, he ruined the noon hour of that specific day for me.
You couldn't hack a properly configured windows box if someone put a gun to your head.
Oh, and installing redhat from a bootable cd and typing ls and startx all day does NOT make you a linux user.
Bah, amateurs.

Considering everything you own is worth approx $17.50, then that statement really isn't all that profound.
Maybe you're not subtle enough? Us "clueless" people got the joke, you didn't. Perhaps it's time to revaluate just how intelligent you truly are.
Only inferior people criticize the criticizing of others criticisms.
Ahh...spelling corrections..the last refuge of the damned.

Or somehow make it usable in your DVD drive and put your favorite trilogy on there.
