The worst performance is THE performance. Generally in these fast paced games the worst performing parts are the only parts that matter. The last thing I want is to drop down to 10 FPS when the going gets rough.
I'm replying to this troll only because so many others have taken it seriously.
I just want to say that when the US declared independence and the British attacked - they encountered something never before seen in the history of human kind - armed citizens.
What in the hell are you talking about? Ever heard of Sparta or a billion other civilizations with armed citizens?
Ummmm, the Iraqis are still fighting. This war ain't over yet man. What do you want? Full on battles with troops in columns? Look at chechnya, proof that effective insurgent warfare takes many forms.
Maybe his system's name is localhost and he doesn't even run a network anymore? He said he flat out isn't even having to deal with hostnames at all. That would make sense.
Maybe he just doesn't care about hostnames and you're being really touchy? I'm still trying to figure out how that's arrogant or offensive. I don't pay attention to hostnames either, the ones in my house are named after their users. If I had additional computers I'd name them after their purposes.
Well, as far as audio warez go, it's a very prominent warez group. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of SF warezed copies produced that string. There's a good chance Digital Eel is using a pirated version.
You misunderstand the arguments against the war. While there are many arguments for the removal of saddam, there are too many reasons not to go to war. Our military is overextended and besides there were better targets regardless.
Lastly, those 300 tons were likely looted after the invasion, don't let the right wing spin fool you. Wait, you're reading drudge, you already have been fooled. Seriously the man's a master of selective facts. The real story is that while the troops didn't see all the explosives they didn't search the vast compound either.
And if they discovered that there were no explosives there so long ago how come it took so long to report it? Condoleeza rice said she hadn't heard this till 12 days ago. Oh yeah, no one was on the ball during this war. That alone is a disgraceful shame. So, looted before the war or not, incompetence is still there.
I didn't recommend that he waste time on the black vote. I was pointing to the futility of this as reason to cast a suspicious eye on his florida strategy. In fact we're in agreement on this.
And what the hell do his black appointments have to do with this? I never claimed he was racist.
Lastly you can't point to one of his policies (vouchers) and a highly controversial one at that and say X is the friend of Y. You have to look at a president's total record which we are NOT doing here.
I'm simply saying that this development doesn't jive with good campaigning. While bush may possibly have an 18% black vote nationwide, in florida the story is different:
From This article where they interview a guy at hte organizaiton that created that number.
"George Bush will get a higher share of the black vote than he did in 2000 because he was at the total bottom," Bositis says. "The only people who voted for him were the most totally and completely hard-core black Republican voters."
So no, the Democrats aren't losing their appeal, the repubs are just sucking less.
Furthermore, the fact that the document contains the names of not just black, but also traditionally democratic areas makes me think that this is more than just a get out the bush message effort. If it were black voters alone, you'd have a point.
Well, considering that the republican party in FL has tried a number of shennanigans (remember the felons list recently?) in the hope of preventing dems from getting to the polls it's bloody hard to trust them on this. Especially in an election where bush has all but given up the black vote (he didn't even meet with the NAACP!)
Bandwidth costs money too. Most people don't care about upstream speed. Let's say our network has 40 users. Let's say that for every person who cares about upload speed (likely telecommuting geeks and those who run their own servers) there are 30 people running eDonkey / Kazaa. Those 30 people don't care if their uploads are capped at 2mbps. The techie might, but he'll live with it or buy a better plan if he really needs it. This way people don't waste tons of upstream bandwidth.
Besides, where are the apps that use this kind of bandwidth anyway? When they're available and demand is created upstream caps will be lifted. Anyway bandwidth always gets cheaper with time anyway, expect this to happen regardless.
People don't just slip into a coma. They get hit with a hard object or get some weird disease or something. I'm only asking about brain damage with regard to increasing the current flowin through.
Additionally, the sun appears as nothing but a white dot. Any argument for "quality" makes no sense as the sun's just going to be white white white #FFFFFF anyway.
If I were write an article that Bob Jones University published a report that conservatives are more in tune with the events and world attitudes surrounding the war in Iraq, then I could probably get it published at freerepublic.com.
True, but it would also be wrong. Seriously, you've at LEAST read the statistics about FOX news viewers being misinformed. Anyway, I thought the conservatives were the ones calling liberals overeducated northeastern snobs anyway.
Yes, it's a political comedy show. The percentage of each is up to the show's discretion. The fact that they're better without even really TRYING to be better than the CNNs and FOXes of the world is what the problem is. And that's what jon stewart is angry about.
The republican party / administration is in a terrible state right now. Many former supporters are jumping ship due to the neocon takeover and the sheer incompetency of the bush administration. Add to this that recently two high level RNC members are guilty of voter registration fraud and we're looking at a party that deserves to be mocked because 1.) they're fucking up the country, and 2.) They're making such bad decisions.
Call me a partisan, but sometimes one group is severely wrong.
Let's count some conservatives who have jumped ship over the current administration shall we?
1.) The Economist Magazine 2.) The Cato Institute 3.) Former Bush 41 national security adviser and family friend Brent Scowcroft 4.) Andrew Sullivan
Now let's add groups that have condemned this administration
The conservative party has shown itself to be anything BUT conservative. Ask uber conservative pat buchanan who will tell you the party was hijacked by the neocons who didn't really have much favor until the current administration. Reagan and Bush I didn't really like them even.
I think that you're mistaking conservatism for the republican party, which has become incompetent and simply not conservative on anything but social issues. But even there, the current admin is so inept they can't formulate functioning policy (see the pork that is "Faith Based Initiatives").
And dont' talk about Zell Miller, a man famous for switching sides, and who, quite frankly, is an idiot.
Remember the job of the media is to report what is ACTUALLY HAPPENING, not "RNC says DNC says". The Daily Show is the only thing on the air right now actually doing this.
If you watched the video, he addresses this very point. Essentially, the daily show's first job is to entertain. Even as a liberal, I'd say that the daily show often times intentionally oversimplifies issues for comedic effect, sometimes at the cost of insight. However, it's a goddamn comedy show, and even WITH all these problems it still manages to be more insightful and honest than other shows.
And as far as Stewart lobbing Kerry softballs, Stewart often times cuts guests slack. O'Reilly was recently on and both O'Reilly and Stewart had a great time with absolutely no vitriolic discourse. He sometimes does that with his guests, and it's his prerogative. It's a goddamn comedy show.
Additionally, you can call Stewart a hypocrite all you want, but even if it were true, it doesn't mean that he's not right about this.

I don't see anything at all controversial about this ruling.

This question has been asked on Ask Slashdot how many times now? Someone else please go and dig up the links for me.

Maybe it's because republican interest don't serve black interests. Ever thing of that?

I'm simply saying that this development doesn't jive with good campaigning. While bush may possibly have an 18% black vote nationwide, in florida the story is different:
If the Democratic primaries are any indication, Kerry has little to worry about. In multiple states, he exceeded Mr. Clinton's turnout among blacks. In Florida alone, Kerry earned 81 percent of the black vote versus Mr. Clinton's 74 percent in 1992.

True, but how much are they willing to pay for it?
Let's not forget that the reason you can buy this bandwidth so cheap (and it is cheap) is that they don't expect it to all be used.
Bandwidth costs money too. Most people don't care about upstream speed. Let's say our network has 40 users. Let's say that for every person who cares about upload speed (likely telecommuting geeks and those who run their own servers) there are 30 people running eDonkey / Kazaa.

How many people die of brain failure? I would think that death by natural causes is predominantly other organs failing / terminal diseases.
Maybe you should report this to all the peer reviewed econ journals. What you say is controversial, but intriguing....

Don't confuse econ 101 with real economics.
