I have to admit that I have a severe case of CRS. I am notorious in my circle of friends for my short term memory. Hell, I even notice it. But, all things considered, I am very intelegent. I may not remember specific information, but can easily duplicate and refine how I reached said information. I liken it to having a small cashe, but a large instruction set, if we use this analogy.
They are infectious. This includes Republicans, Democrates, Lefties, Righies, Uppies, Downies, parents, people with opinions. Just stay away from people in general.
My opinion, you probably see the end result of gaming, a sore wrist. You could get the same with a coding hobby, but at least that way you have something to show for your hours spent. Take a look at old people. The ones that stay active and probably have a hobby, are happier and live a little longer. These aren't passive hobbies like watching golf. My grandfather made ceramic statues and what not. You are now seeing the end result as pointless and the people you have to deal with make it less worth the effort.
Never say never. You are right in the fact that there are exceptions. The original parent made a broad statement about the president. I tried to retaliate on the same knee jerk, tinfoil hat level. While I wasn't registered to vote the last election, since then I have voted Libertarian except where I had a specific motivation to vote otherwise. But frankly no one is going to take the Libertarian or Green party serious as long as they keep talking about the issues. Ol' Ralphy needs to get a bj while looking for WMD's. Maybe then the rest of the country will divert their eyes from MTV long enough to learn his name.
I know, don't feed the trolls. But do you really think anyone who willingly enteres politics, reagardless of party affiliation, has anyone's best interest in mind, other than their own?
I back up my Anti-RIAA/MPAA opinion in that I don't buy CD's or DVD's. I have two DVD players that were given to me to try and fix. The are still broke. I occasionaly do go see a movie, but I don't break the bank trying to be a media whore.
This a little hard to stomach. Many of the people I work with don't even know which version of Windows they are running, most if not all Win2k. Hell, my manager had his machine disabled by the network admins because he never bothered to perform ANY of the required software updates to secure his machine. (He also likes gator.) Things like the ISSI Ibm uses makes it easy to get the software you need. And the EZUpdater makes it, uh, easier. The people I work with wouldn't know what to do with a machine running Linux on the desktop. Unless of course everything was point and click icons, ie like Windows. But from my limited experience with Linux, this is easily done. I hope some good for IBM and us all comes of this. (I also hope they buy my project back.)
I hardly consider myself a computer expert, but the people around me do. And they won't f@#king leave me alone about it. Whenever people I know ask what kind of machine to get, I tell them to roll your own. But since most can't I recommend IBM laptops as they arn't the crap you think they are. For desktops, I recommend a build from a local computer shop. This helps the small business people who don't want to work for Big Blue or Dhell. And the customer has someone they can go to and talk to a real live person.
Besides, last I knew, Dell wasn't ISO compliant on anything. Not that this is relevant to the spyware thing, but yet another reason not to Buy Dell.

I either had XP backup a piece of malware I was trying to get rid of. Or the malware decided to hide in the backup. Solution, turn off the backup.

Friends don't let friends use Flash, er Real.

Right on!

$990,000 invested somehow, somewhere.
$10,000 invested in my drinking habbit.
Um, the machine I use at work can't boot to CD. What am I to do now?

And it would make even better sense to say, "I got drunk last night and met some new people. No, I didn't get any."
And we all know someone who has a render farm in their basement.
For some reason I think you post needs a Monty Python reply. Wait, I'll go find one.

Did anyone else think they were talking about the other Jupiter?

Leave Kennedy out of this you troll!
Well put AC. Mine was a knee jerk reaction.

Anyone want to trust this to the 9th circuit? I surely dont.
Why don't you just do this on one of the already available mmorpg's? Sim's FightClub expansion pack?
Ask yourself this. Would you want to play HL2 having seen the beta that got released? Or would rather have been suprised?
