    I retired from playing and admining a server because all the cheaters. PunkBuster stopped developing for it, but I think they are back at it. Anyway, my only hope is when HalfLife 2 comes out they rebuild the mod and intergrate an anti-cheat mechanism.

    I don't think my sense of history is off when I say a freedom fighter turns out to be a terrorist that won whatever conflict they were involved in. American revolutionaries would (if they weren't at the time) be labeled as terrorist by the British of the time, but since they won that conflict they are remembered as patriots (or freedom fighters if you prefer).

    My point is, from a ruling party standpoint freedom fighters ARE terrorist.

    Try being one of two white students in a high school classroom full of blacks and hispanics. Feel like a semester's worth of torment and being the butt of every last joke, and being afraid to retaliate?

    So, how did it feel? To live as the minority? There are people that live their entire lives feeling like that. And still it doesn't sound like you learned any compassion from the experience.

    I am going to make it my mission to utterly destroy affirmitive action and make it law that no corporation may hire anyone on any basis other than qualifications relevant to the work being done.

    Great principle, but it really doesn't matter what laws are the books. It only matters what laws are enforced. Did you do well in class? I am wondering if the distraction of your social surroundings affected your academic performance. Food for thought when looking at academic records of a white student from a white school and a black student from a white school. Maybe their social surroundings distracted them (like they did you from the sound of it) and they couldn't perform up to their potential. In that scenario if you and the black student where going for the same job, you would get it every time (since being white in a white school you were able to perform better and thus achieve better marks, which of course equals better qualifications). Qualifications encompass a whole lot of factors. What if I hire the black because being faced with adversity is a qualification I look for in an employee. Would you sue me? Would you cry affirmative action? Sooner or later, you are going to regret saying it when it wasn't warranted instead of saving it for when it was.

    The difference is, if I roll up to the bar on my Honda HD rip off, chances are the HD riders are kicking my ass.

    Of course since most Mac users are either graphics specialist or drooling tards needing an idiot proof OS, I doubt they posses the physical skills required to do suck ass-kicking. I say the theme should be open to everyone (unless it uses some proprietary Apple code) and see who gets his eye dotted.

    Good article? It is a work of fiction, read this passage:

    I prefer to backup meaningless files, in fact that is the only type of files I deal with, what are these really important things you speak of?

    As far as tape access being really sloooow, how often are you restoring these really important files, wait, are you running Windows?

    Although your comment was short, I am really confused. If a file is on your hard drive, what is accomplished by backing it up on your hard drive, other then wasting space what does having two files accomplish? Do you carry two ID's to remember who you are. Leave one ID in a safe place in case you lose the first one.

    Anyone I know that does graphics does it on a MAC. If you are trying to convert the marketing types, they (as a group) aren't tech savvy enought to move from Windows to Linux, as new things scare them.

    I bears repeating, if the Linux community would unify and create a single platform (say BSD) and work on making that one distro as bad ass as possible it might have a chance of making a dent in the desktop market. Most people have never seen linux, let alone used it. The people that do have a clue aren't sure which distro to use, since there are at least 20 out there.

    One of the things I like about linux is the al a carte use of RPMS (I use Mandrake) and the fact that updates and system changes don't require rebooting.
