I completely agree. If the content is only going to be 1/4 of the length of what HL2 was, the price should be closer to $10 than $20. I loved HL2 (playing it again now), but if they think they can get us to pay $80-$100 for a game because they broke it into 4 pieces, they are sadly mistaken.
I see they wanted Windows only, why didn't they include http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/MediaPortal? It is open source, has the features they want, and runs on XP. Now, if someone (anyone) could include QAM support, I would be all set.
Living in Atlanta, I can tell you that Cobb County is very conservative, and has made headlines in the past for an anti-gay resolution. I know lots of people in Atlanta that refuse to move there because of the politics.
I would continue to give. I make enough along with my wife that giving is not a financial problem. I try to give 2-3% of gross, but that should probably be higher. As far as taxes go, I do list my donations on my taxes. I have considered giving anonymously, but don't really see a need to do that. I try to give to charities based upon what they do and how they are run. The tax deduction is just a nice side effect. I do agree that donations in general would be less if they were not deductable.
If you are looking for just a cabinet then you should go to your local arcade auction...I got mine at an auction here in Atlanta run by super auctions.
Speaking of eBay, I will be putting my completed mame box up for auction later this week. If you are interested, let me know and I will send the eBay link to you. (If you don't want to go through eBay, I can send pics of the box and sell it direct).

Buffett slams dividend tax cut
One of world's richest calls plan 'voodoo economics,' says it puts burden on low-income families.
Quotes:
"The 3 percent overall federal tax rate I would pay -- if a Berkshire dividend were to be tax free -- seems a bit light," Buffett wrote.
"Putting $1,000 in the pockets of 310,000 families with urgent needs is going to provide far more stimulus to the economy than putting the same $310 million in my pockets," Buffett added.
Actually, I did read it and I understand the other aspects of the architect's design. There are lots of reasons that this may not work for certain houses (too much shade, house designed too ineffienctly, no land for hydrogen tank, etc). That doesn't mean that it can't work for any existing houses. I think as the technologies are refined, some of these problems will be worked out.
Almost all modern terrorism is due to US foreign policy.
You're trolling, right? Let's see if I can name some terrorist groups that have nothing to do with US:
IRA (you did say you lived in UK, right?) Basque Separatists Chechnians (yes, I know the russians invaded first, but they are still blowing up buildings)
Star Wars: Epic Duels This is a great game for 2-4 players. It is quick to learn, and since each character has their own special abilities, has a lot of re-play in it.

Customers can get 24x7x365 support through JBoss or through partners like HP.
And yes, I do work there. :)

Not completely...you can get a Jetta or other VW vehicles with diesel.

I can read slashdot just fine from my treo 600. It has a built in browser that renders most sites pretty well.
Here is what we need:
1. Voter enters data using electronic terminal. When they are done, a receipt prints with both an english and bar code format.
2. Voter verifies their vote, gives it to a poll worker, who runs it over a bar code reader and drops it in a lock box.
3. Now you have two sets of counts that can be verified against each other, plus the paper receipts for a manual count.
