I just built my new over clocked 980x desktop a few days ago. I need a big 30" screen and ultra-fast CPU. Most laptops feel underpowered. Netbooks feel very cramped for my fingers, I mainly use them just to check network drops.
> you will all be "under god" as you are burning in hell.
Which god? I don't believe any of these fairly tales, but I would laugh my head off at the very thought of you waking up in the afterlife and facing Zeus, Odin, or Vishnu.
And in any case, I would rather spend eternity in Hell than spend forever in worship and obedience of a megalomaniac dictator. Kind of like an eternity in North Korea.
Inside Microsoft, political infighting trumps common sense. If you really want to hold up a closed source development model as an example of "what works" take a look at Apple. They crank out far better products with a fraction of the resources.
I get a kick out of the postcard with the pilot flying by a sky bar grabbing a drink "to go". Never mind drunk driving, hammered is the only way to fly!
A bunch of guys in blue uniforms show up in game with +100 night sticks and magical Tasers of Paralysis (Woe to those in metal armor) to thump your character into submission and drag them away to a dungeon.
Would be pretty cool to see something like this in 2nd life as well.
Dances with Wolves and Pocahontas meets Starship Troopers with a bit of The Matrix thrown in...
Actually, the worst part of a small tribal society like that is they often devolve into petty dictatorships, where one bullying leader and his band of henchmen seize power and turn the little bit of heaven into hell for everybody else.
Look at what happened with the mayor of Pitcarn Island a few years back.
That the world described in Avatar was very unlike ours - Everything was to some degree networked into the brain matrix, so Earth's rules of competition did not apply.
They certainly took more than a few liberties with some fundamental lines of physics, and I had to laugh when I saw how many times the Navi were incorrectly drawing a bow. I'm no expert, but I do know the correct technique.
That being said, an awesome spectacle that sets a new FX benchmark - when you see it you will feel this is the reason you bought a large screen HDTV.
Bring this issue up in the Canadian Copyright consultations. Otherwise, not only will they get away with it, but the scrambling will be protected by DMCA like laws if they have their way!
I am too, and this is exactly the sort of bull droppings that needs to be brought up in the Canadian Copyright consultations. http://speakoutoncopyright.ca/

Whereas in heaven you get to lavish an eternity of praise upon an absolute dictator who is alleged to be perfect in all things forever.
Wait a minute.. Heaven sounds like North Korea!!!
Two tickets for Hell please...
Sorry, but "In God We Trust" only appeared on currency after the civil war.

E Pluribus Unum is a much better motto, because I don't trust your invisible friend.

Why not? It worked for .gif
Let me take a wild guess...
When they were written by non-whites, non-christians, and non-westerners?
It's sad how so many cannot move beyond such racial/ethnic binning. Us against them. I married one of "them", and I am happier for it.
In other news, Eurasia has always been at war with Oceania.

Damn typos. And I was just about to order one too. The cops would have needed an F-16 on full afterburners to catch me!
So I need permission from Intel and/or Microsoft to purchase a Linux distro or 3rd party hardware for my PC?
You sir are an unsung hero; a credit to your profession.
That's a damned good idea if it becomes a strong case precedent, as the sword cuts both ways:

The CRIA would owe musicians enough damages to pay of the US national debt!
The music cartels should be very, very careful what they wish for.
I wouldn't be too fond of the MS development model from what I hear from those who were on the inside:

It's actually quite educational to look back 100 years or more, and see exactly where they thought we would be:
To view the "future" as it was seen in each decade since 1870:

He could hang around just long enough to stash his items somewhere for his new character to inherit before abandoning the old one.
I wonder if the cops found out they would set up a virtual stake out on his stash to see who picks it up.
That's what I was thinking. :)

You also need Steanography software, so they don't even know a message is there.

But he isn't a trusted expert on anything, right?
I wonder if anybody has calculated how much carbon was dumped into the atmosphere when they burned down that car dealership?
I have a copy of X-Plane, and would love to get the networked air 2 air combat add on.
