    and the fifth layer will processor your caluculations into the future so that you don't need to calculate as often as before! Why do I feel I ripped that off of somewhere..... oh wait - it was an old SNL skit regarding razor blades (when they started adding two blades as a standard)

    how many FPS can I get in quakeworld? With the +1000 FPS it would give, i'm sure I would be able to bunnyhop all the way across the 2fort5 outdoors area!

    wow... I didn't know you knew me so well. Would you like to pay for my medical bills? I won't come out of a celler, becuase I don't have one, and my college is way too demanding to get a job, and i'm hardly a victim to my laziness... should I go on or are you just the type to be bitter about things you couldn't possibly understand?

    well... since "GW" supports big business, it would make sense for him not to 'approve' of this sort of thing as it would harm the pharm-co's business right?

    I mean if we could cure hemophilia for example, with giving the person a new liver that wouldn't be rejected, it would cause the pharm-co's lose of tons of cash considering each shot a hemophiliac must take for an injuy costs about 1500 dollars. Consider that your average hemophiliac needs about 40-60 shots a year and you are talking BIG cash.

    I'm guessing no one will read this, but i'd like to share a story... I was at a friends house and his guy came over with a big brown box and pulled a brick out of it. I just kinda stared, not having seen 5 lb bricks before, and then took another glance to see that he had about 15 bricks in this box total. I talked to the guy a little bit, and found out he got it straight from fed-ex.

    ON TIME!!!!

    the age group seems a little biased.... there are just as many (if not more) women that are over the age of 49 than under - probably..... But I bet the curve of this is really scewed to the 15 year old side... My mother falls right in the eldest of the group, and while she is comfortable with computers, she can bearly troubleshoot and would take a diamond ring over a TV anyday - but then again she is a teacher that doesn't watch much TV.

    Behold our glorious new dictator in 2008. I seriously he won't step down. It would be like him to use his powers he's given himself to say "its not in the best intrest of our country to hold an election or to change presidents right now, so i'm going to stay in office."

    At which point, if people don't revolt in mass, i'm going to move to... umm... lets say sudan... at least they know they are in a shitty state and aren't in denial.

    "Does WoW's growth actually mean that PC games in other non-MMO genres may sell fewer copies?"

    HECK NO!!! There will always be people who refuse to just press a couple buttons and sit back and watch a spell being cast. Give me my G3 assault rifle and i'll wait in the bushes until someone comes near, then jump out and play battle of the aim, or i'll do an all out frontal assult on a squad with little hope of winning, but when my skill overpowers 4 people's, I tend to be pretty satisfied - probably even more satified that, lets say, a lvl 60 priest gets a glowing brightwood staff.

    runs on the quake4 engine... basically no character development - all one liners which are not funny - let duke nukem handle the one liners please.

    I remember in my feeble attempt to learn java that all you had to do was comment something out and the compiler would completely ignore it. So its probably good to assume (Besides the fact that the setup file would increase in size vastly) that it will just be in the tree. I didn't even think of that before you said something.

    oh I know... But, I guess i'm just an old fowgy (not old enough to know how to spell that though) who doesn't like it when things that are simple to do in an OS become complicated.
