    What is also unrealistic is that the CSI guys ever see a suspect. The go to the crime and spend the rest of the time in a lab or sometimes in court.

    They would never ever talk to a suspect.

    You would be living off the interest. It is not 2 million a month or year.

    btw, my mom is 65 and in great shape.

    Goes camping with the grandsons, cruises, works some, etc.

    She is loving life right now.

    The problem is when people get to be 65 and realize "golly I have 10K in my 401K and SS is only going to give me $300 dollars a month. They are in trouble,"

    I have looked but can't find anything either.

    There was a case of an Amish person refuses social security, because he felt it was the communities job to take care of those who couldn't. Or something like that.
    I think he was a "conscientious objector"

    Note, many self employed don't have to pay ss, including the clergy.

    What you need to know is that if you are under 35, it doesn't take that much saving to be set by the time you are 65.

    And don't depend are social security, I know that I am not.

    Alright, I am older(married 3 kids) and ok at CS.
    I don't have enough time to become an excellent player nor do I want to spend the time.

    I value teamwork and will work together within a team.

    I just play for fun. I prefer the teams to be as even as possible.

    Any good servers you know of?

  11. Cheaters on Bot for CS: Source to be Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So I just got Half-Life 2 and played a little CS: Source over the weekend.

    How common are cheaters?

    And how do you know.

    For instance, I died early in a round and follow one of the players with a high score. I noticed he head shot someone even though it looked to me like he was off.

    The other person(who had the highest score) said he is sick of cheaters and left soon after.

    Later I followed the "cheater" and he wasn't doing so good, missing plenty of people.

    And I have also been accused of cheating though I never have?

    Yes. But when you pay taxes and some of that money goes to funding a project to put you out of business that is bummer. And while possibly good for the public in whole it is not good for everyone.
