It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors.. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt.45 and a.38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down.
It is reeeeally slow. In Red Alert, the ore trucks at least dump their gargo at once instead of it being "milked out" bit by bit, like in C&C. In RA, a whole infantry squad queues into an APC automatically, instead of you having to click on the APC once for every person you want in. This after the last person is already inside. In C&C, the harvester moves slowly, and even more slowly after it has been damaged. Building troops is slow partly because they cost so much compared to the capacity of the harvester, and partly becuase building is just slow.
That said, I think C&C Generals better in every way to C&C and RA.
Let me tell you something: I just bought Command & Conquer: The first decade and boy does the original C&C suck compared to, say, C&C Generals.
It's slow, the units are stupider (apparenly it's possible), and if I get one more mission where I'm given only a handful of soldiers to kill everyting, I'm going postal.
Not even my imagination (fueled by the game's bad graphics) can make the game better than a modern RTS.
I agree. Why the hell you're telling me that I should not download movies, and that pirated movies are of worse quality than the theatre.
I'm not downloading movies, I'm right here sitting in the theatre after paying for the ticket! I'm the guy who did the right thing!
I've never bought a car, but I'm pretty sure the salesman (or salesmens union) won't give me a lecture about people who steal cars and tell me that stealing cars is wrong.
Now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure that I've not been given a lecture at the grocery store either. Oh yeah, and once I ate at Subway and I didn't get a lecture there either. What gives?
Where the hell did I say that I'm caffeine free? I drink coffee several times a week. That doesn't mean I think that caffeine addiction is somehow admirable or cool.
I really don't get geeks' caffeine worship. Some seem to think that it's somehow a good thing to not be able to wake up properly before drinking half a pot of coffee.
Oh, and all you self-righteous green tea drinking hippies are no better.
Don't forget updating device drivers. If a distro/kernel does not recognize some piece of hardware from the get-go, or doesn't support all the features, I have not been able to install a driver (that I know exists) without it breaking everything else.

You can't just make up words and acronyms and post it on the front page.
I'm a computer.
Help computer?
Yep, that's a lot of fancy words you've got there.

Same thing happened with night Rider. It was the awesomest tv-series ever. Until I saw it again.
Have you played C&C recently?

I love you.
My guess: Not very.

Yes, video game consoles are so much better when there are no distracting games for them.
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, 'til you died
But you're sill alive.

Zing! You sure showed me!

Well, the Gamecube doesn't even have those.
...fucking kangaroos...
whiter, cooler, prettier, sleeker, and overall better to your arsenal of superlatives
Yeah, maybe if you're a moron. Whiter, cooler, prettier, etc are comparatives. Whitest, coolest, prettiest would be superlatives.
How about your use of the dollar sign instead of the letter S?
Yes, Microsoft's actions are comparable to murdering millions of people.

It seems the only hit that Microsoft has is Halo. No thanks, I already played it on the Xbox.
Apparently you have had the opportunity to play both Revolution's and Sony's "Revolution killer's" games.
