Yah it was "quiet" all right. If the ISP's were running well then thats nice! We were completely in the dark just as much as New York, and continue to conserve on a daily basis for fear of rotating black outs. Funny i dont hear the conservation message on the "other side".....
jpellino has by far one of the best suggestions! The "no gain" untraceable option rings a resounding right approach!

Man im laughing at this one! I was thinking it was cool to show my 2 boys that i could navigate Spiderman and do a nasty on those thugs that keep poppin up along the way....
Then, about 2 weeks later, my eldest of the two shows me how to defeat the opponents in 4 new ways "Hey check this out dad!" jzeessh? It wasnt too long ago i would look and find just about every switch there was to and/or?
Just the same i dont mind "previewing them for the real users"

Im a pcgame speedfreak addict....
But considering the p-4 can be overclocked, its not (yet), the 333ram upgraded to 400 its not (yet) the GForce 2 Ti auctioned for a GForce 4 or maybe the new ATI card its not (yet)
But give me another fistful of bucks (ok in Canadian that would be two fistfuls) id probably forsake that next cool trip for the speediest game machine on the block... oh yah did i mention im 40 now (ouch)
Cant wait for the new Tron to be released...pant pant (now thats really telling isnt it?)

Now this is a technology that is currently being used for human monitoring and has been successfully demonstrated. A unit smaller than
a grain of rice complete with GPS reading to a local ground station. All this which can be planted within your skin is coming soon to a criminal, alzheimers patient, son or daughter of
a wealthy family near you....
I dont have any qualms loading an mp3 file, that i own as a cd, record or a cassette. The proposed act doesnt limit it to just cd's as your title suggests. Phonorecords, in this case, implies all legally owned music despite the medium?
Correct me if im wrong?!
look at it this way, at this point in time with my son being 5 years old, he needs at least 5 more years to be buddied by dad. Kids younger than that alone can see parents charged for leaving them (at least in this country) As far as forgetting to be a teen?? Today im away on business, after supper i hung out with about 10 teens from 14 - 20 in the downtown area. They wanted a few coins (street kids). Instead of shelling out, i grabbed their guitar and busked for them for an hour. Made more money for them than out of my pocket. Of course these kids cant relate to games, although they know them all. Their too busy looking to see where their next meal or pack of smokes is coming from. So before you get all critical, beware of who you are talking to. You'd be suprised how many of us have a teen point of view every day from those we choose to talk and listen to:) art ps: btw i hear your comments! thanks!!
This spring i took my 4 year old who desired a peak at the local mall's (Toronto) video arcade center. Sure i said, after all i sure liked checking out the new games when i was growing up. Sorry to say we werent hanging out long. Most games had warnings of violence on the screens, fair enough. But then again, most young teens, and some younger were there alone, and with no parent to say "well do you really think its right to win the motorcycle race by smashing all your opponents into the tarmak?" Hey, i enjoy obliterating monsters etc as much as the next guy, but when 80% of the figures are real life-like and simulate real-life injuries, blood etc dammed if im going to teach,or let my kids think thats cool. Hey i wont even apologize for this statement. Games that teach memory skills, problem solving, competition dont need to include shooting the crap outof someone who wants to beat you racing or boxing or whatever. If my son wants to go again, sure I'll go with him, if he wants to play one of those games, sure I'll let him, but he'll also know his dad has an opinion and that he'll learn that getting ahead and being the best doesnt require violence, you just have to be wise! Let him make the informed choice, most kids wouldnt know the difference. I love my kids! art
