  2. you have got to be kidding... on The Failure of the $100 Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Ive seen many comments on here about feeding the family for $100 or giving them a computer to help them farm?!? my grandfather farmed through the great depression, and last time I checked he never had a computer. a computer is not the be all end all. give them a real education, teach them to read, teach them when to plant, what to plant, what to plant with, how to irrigate, how to tend, deinfest, and finally harvest, None of that can be trained out of a manual, it requires hands-on knowledge.

  3. consumers are demanding change? on Why HD-DVD and Blu-ray Are DOA · · Score: 2, Insightful

  7. I Like CDs on EMI Exec Says 'The Music CD is Dead' · · Score: 1

    I buy CDs, used however because of the RIAA tactics. what do I want? how about more than one good song with the rest being filler, I didnt like it back in the 80s and I dont like it now.

  10. remember the 90s bubble on Stock Options Scandal Rocks McAfee · · Score: 4, Insightful

    it popped because of this... WorldCom, Enron, and all the others were playing with stocks, thanks to rules implemented in the 90s.

    Instead of earning a regular wage (and getting taxed for it), they were given stocks which encouraged the holders to do what they could to cook the books...

    Genesis 1:16
    For God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, to shine down upon the earth. The greater one, the sun, presides during the day; the lesser one, the moon, presides through the night. He also made the stars.

  23. New Star Wars = New DnD? on Gen Con 2006 in a Nutshell · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "next year's plan to reintroduce the d20 Star Wars RPG. The discontinued product line is going to be relaunched, with a slimmed-down rules system and a lot of detail dropped into the game's tweaks."

    I imagine if the new streamlined rules work/sell well enough for the new Star Wars, I would not be suprised to see the same rules in DnD 4.0
