Funny, most LCD screens I've seen in the past year are 80 degree viewable. I'm not even sure I could read the text looking at a CRT from 80 degrees to begin with.
Just like to point out that most actors don't make anywhere near as much money as the big ticket names. While it's true that they do make a significant amount of money, a 200,000$ per film take isn't an excessive amount of money when you look at the cost of living for California.
Unless you have a PS2. From what I've read, most of the early model PS2's have problems with the voltages for the laser and to go bad in just over a year. Tell me that's not coincidence. And just to make the point, my Xbox is still working, and my PS2 has been dead since July. Oh, it works just fine, but good luck getting a disc to read.
I find it unlikely that that will happen. There will basically be two groups of people. Those predisposed to have the illness, and those predisposed not to have the illness. Those who there's an extreme likelihood of getting it will choose not to have insurance, because they're going to pay out the nose for it anyhow. Those with very little chance of getting the illness, will choose not to have insurance, because they're going to be paying for something their DNA says they won't get.
I think the idiot box is spewing idiot-GWB rhetoric most of the time that he's on. Why should the Democrats pay to run ads against him when he does a good enough job by himself of showing he's at least good at bumbling and misunderstanding.
if you've seen the prerelease, there's a ton of different models besides the few "Human + Power Armor" given in the demo. Just wait and see. A lot of them look awesome.
I have played all those. Surprising fact, but people do buy and enjoy more than one console system at the same time. There's not some rule where you're only allowed to buy one and have to stick to it. Every console has its killer games and every console has its crappy games. Xbox is just taking a little longer to get rolling because they don't have a previous system to just produce sequels for.
There's also an IGN article on cube.ign.com, so if they're developing for every system there's an article for, it's at least PS2 and GameCube. I'd be quite surprised if they didn't make an Xbox version while they're at it.
Not to say anything against you, dswensen, but I can't happen but wonder, when do we get to stop referring to the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube as "Next-Generation" consoles? I mean, they've been out for like a year or more (depending on the system), and they're still being called by a name that was used when they were still being designed. Are we going to call the PS3 the "next-next-generation" console?
True, there isn't thermal camo, but to my knowledge, there's a type of grenade which produces heat over a wide area without an explosive force, effectively rendering thermal vision useless to anyone travelling through the grenade's field of effect.
I'd have to argue with you there. From my experience, WinXP is a much better ExPerience (as you put it) than Windows 98 and especially ME. The difference between XP and 2000 is minimal, mainly bloatware and some security holes fixed (and more added), but it crashes nowhere near as often, and I beat the OS with installs/uninstalls terribly. Like any Windows OS, you need a good format every 3-5 months to clean out the clutter, but in my opinion, that's a minor inconvenience.
ugh... they're all so blatantly wrong. It's not the sharers they should be going after, but rather they need to prove that the people downloading the song don't already own a copy of the CD or tape or whatever that the file came from. The sharers are simply providing an alterantive to the average user figuring out the (sometimes) cumbersome audio ripping programs, which is just media-shifting.
As has been pointed out before, all of the accounting fudges took place on Clinton's watch, and are now just coming to light. Blaming Bush for the crap laws Clinton signed during his eight years of service is only wrong. Sure, Bush may be a corporate bastard, but that's not at the point of where these big businesses got the incentive to adjust the books.
They're required to take it back. If they refuse, you should simply notify them of your intent to file suit against them. They'll probably give you a refund at taht point.
They're considering doing just such a thing at my University. The problem comes when you've got thousands of students asking to get the "internet" on their computers, and they have no idea what this "IP address" or "MAC address" thing are.
I was always told not to sit close to the TV because it would ruin my eyesight. I guess this must be a big conspiracy from the television manufacturers to not get us to notice the decreased quality of up-close viewing.
So? We'll just have a Boston TEA party and throw televisions into the bay. Of course, then we'd probably be liable to the EPA for polluting the bay, so I guess that wouldn't work...
Actually, I've caught two different 30-second pieces on CNN about this very bill that have portrayed the RIAA and Berman in a very bad light. So it's likely that at least some people have heard about it that otherwise wouldn't. These are the same people that will tell coworkers about it by word-of-mouth.

Actually, most movies are between 80 and 100 minutes. Rarely do they reach the full 120.

Either way, the insurance company loses.

fair enough. I wasn't directing the comment at you so much as the people in the write up (I know they don't hear any of this, but still...)

Obviously, you've never played Halo.

Actually, Israel & Palestine have been fighting for like 3000 years.

No shit? I guess that's what I get for buying mine used and not getting a manual. I'm quite thankful to you for that information.

I'll throw my two cents in for Lexmark. Got one of those printer/copier/fax/scanner jobs. It's fan-freakin'-tastic.
