Not that I'm calling you a liar or anything, but I am a nurse and when you start an IV you use the needle to get into the vein and then withdraw the needle leaving a tiny plastic catheter. I have started thousands of IVs and have never seen or heard of "needles breaking off". Furthermore, if a needle "broke off in your arm" it would have to be removed surgically, which you didnt mention. I need more detail really to not doubt the validity of this comment. I have however seen IVs hit artieries before and this is really no big deal. You remove the IV hold a little extra pressure and start another. Now, if you leave it in an artery and infuse IV's, that can be a problem. but there is not mistaking when you hit a high pressure vessel like an artery!
So far as "human sacrifice" goes, I cant tell you the number of times I have had guys with tattoos and piercings everywhere act like an IV or a shot is a death sentence. It really just a phobia just like anything else. The actual shot/IV is no big deal. You want to talk about pain? Lets discuss my vasectomy!

Doom 3 has been reported many times that it will be available for Linux and I'm sure that it will stretch the envelope of "though there are precious few games on linux to stretch a card of this calibre" statement.

The Linux port is being developed as we speak (SDL/OGL). Who cares if the game is not new and cutting edge. It's going to be a fun game to dust off the ole CD and play.

Man, finally a study that backs up my suspicions.
I have had many a music CD go and then blame it on scratches or whatever.
I wonder how this compares to DVD-R?

Plus, this may swing 3drealms a little more over to being 'Linux friendly'. --Dweebs0r
