Your assuming we would want to occupy that land. In a WW3 situation unless we tried to invade to take land, I don't think we would run into the problems of Iraq and Vietnam. That is trying to win the people over, etc. It would be destroyed. You think we would try not to hurt civilians in say Italy? In the intent to launch an invasion through Italy or I'd think the country would be bombed to living shit first hand. If we aren't planning to occupy it after the wars over and make it out own, why get into guerilla warfare?
Look at what The Soviet Union did to some of it's satellites but think if the Soviet Union didn't want those satellite states.
Chances are in an all out war like that the US would not be alone. You think, no matter how pissed off Canada is, they are going to want to be alone against us?(Saying that neither of us will be able to invade each other) Mexico and South America are really no threat.
Africa is no threat, infact I think it would probably spread the Non US forces out a ton, they would have to patrol/etc all of it to keep us from landing.
Then factor in countries like Israel who would definately be on our side. While small they do have quite the air force, and quite the nuclear arsenal, which I think they would use before most other countries.
Japan? South Korea? Australia? Those are all very vulnerable to attack from us. You really think SK and Japan wouldn't be on our side? With our 40K or so soldiers already stationed there.
Taiwan? Would be smoked by China most likely first off I'd think. But I'm not really sure what we have stationed there.
I'm not positive but aren't we the only ones with the huge capability of long range attack? Excluding ICBM with Nukes.
How far ahead is the war? 10 Years? Will we have our star wars weapons then. And our missile defense?
We don't give a shit about other nations? How much does your nation give in foreign aid and assistance? And let me guess, your basing this all on Iraq?
Yeah, we waste resources. Stop selling them to us and then bitch about us using them for what we want? We did pay the country selling them. Don't just blame us. Arguments like that always make me think of jealousy, we're evil because we can do it and you can't?
Yeah, we're the worlds superpower, what should we do with that? What country hasn't? You remember World War 1 and 2? How we were isolationists and we still get blamed for not joining those wars soon enough? Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
The outspoken people on Human rights, etc, are just the noisy people who think they are useful. Much like PETA. Fact is, we do have pretty good human rights, freedoms, democracy and religions.
I won't get beat in jail, I'll actually get treated damn well. Hell, probably would get more excersize and eat better there.
Freedoms? I have quite a bit, infact if I want to now I can leave and quit my job, go get drunk and vomit all over my frontyard. Then pass out and wake up on my frontlawn. Then call 911 and have an ambulance pick me up for frostbite. Actually, sounds kind of fun.
Religion, hmmm...Let's see, I could join any religion I want, or even create my own. Hell if I wanted to pray 5 times a day I could at work no problem.
We might not be a ton better then China, but your a jackass if you think we're the same. I can have as many kids as I want here. I can pretty much do what I want. I can do many, many things I couldn't even dream of if I was in China. One big thing is Order a 20oz steak then feed it to my dog.
What was I getting at again? Shit it's almost time for me to go home and get drunk and puke on my front lawn to my oversized house for just me.
8. You drink alot and use the internet to check where you maxed your credit card out last night. Now you know where you were drinking at, how much that hotel room was, and can piece some of the night togather.
Or is that just me?
It's ready for the desktop for normal users? Get someone who knows Windows really good to install Linux, and then download and install all the same type of programs he used for Windows. How long did it take him?
I recently switched back to Linux after not using it for about 4 years, and let me tell you, it was a pain in the ass. Compared to having to just Double click something to install it on Windows. Hell, even after./configure, make, make install, it's "Okay, now how do I run it from my desktop? What about getting it under my start menu?"
After a couple days I go everything figured out though.;) Let me tell you it's alot nicer when a program I use crashes that it doesn't bring downthe whole system.(Why I switched, program crashes alot)
Has Korea been saved? Well if you think having no South Korea is saved, then no. If by keeping South Korea from being forced to join the North, then yes.
Curiousity here, what buts in KOTOR? I haven't heard of them, and no one I know has run into them. Not doubting you, just curious what they are. I guess we were lucky to not run into them, Bioware has usually been good about QA.
While paying for online services was a no no in my book, I do pay for live. Voice chat is cool most of the time. The rankings are really good if you have friends, lots of competition. Anyway, it's not alot of money, cheaper then everquest.
Not cheating is the big thing I play Unreal and Wolf on Xbox instead of PC. Although Wolf has some cheaters with action replay, while annoying, it's very few and far between. I only tend to see about one a week and they are gone quick.
Cheating on FPS online ruins a game badly.
You play Wolfenstein on Xbl? Even not very decent players can get good scores(Me alot) by playing the different classes.
Anyway if anyone cares my names Jalan and I'm usually playing Wolf at odd hours.;)
I'm waiting for a game to allow players to make maps as a contest or something for Xblive. That would kick ass...Unfortunately, I don't see it happening soon. When a company actually does it, I think it will be HUGE.
I haven't used any online maps in awhile for exact directions. When I tried to goto Reno about 3-4 years ago and printed out directions(I think yahoo maps) We ended up spending about 3 extra hours. One of the highways apparently was the old highway and they had a newer and better one that took forever to find.
I've been trying to work on a similar thing myself, have a killer instinct box(No game:() and I've put a PC in it with a flat panel. The only place I'm stuck is the controls(It didn't come with them, box was empty) and with my zero knowledge of electronics I'm having problems. It's really cool seeing peoples faces when they see an arcade in my living room though.
"Holy shit, is that the first Mortal Kombat?"
Although kind of lame with gamepads.
Yes, even on a Mac people don't play games, don't benchmark games on it. It won't look good. Let's just benchmark things that make apple look good, eh?
I like when something good about apple is posted people run out and claim how awesome it is, but when something bad comes out everyone runs out and cries, "Not fair!"/shrug
Must be your equipment, Sending files through my PC -> Dlink router -> Cisco hub -> Xbox I transfer average around 4000 - 4800K, and I receive at a little faster.
I bought a PS2 at walmart and took it home, the PS2 looked like someone modded it and broke it, then swapped boxes at walmart. Luckily when I took it back 20 minutes after purchase the guys remembered me and exchanged it. I was pretty freaked, when the return people wouldn't let me return it until they got the clerk who remembered me.

I wish more people would give dino Crisis 3 a chance. Although the worst camera ever, it was a pretty nice game. The cutscenes alone were amzing.
Crap, I swear I had all that formatted but it seems to have all been lumped togather.

Take the whitehouse, We'll take out all your furnished igloos.
Lightly armed? Pfft, go watch "The Second Civil War" I'm in Idaho, our citizens have artilery and grenades in their front lawn.
Just a couple things.

Why does it seem Red Hat has been trying to make my stock dive faster then it already is? Any suggestions on where to reinvest my Red Hat stock?

Thank you for making my RedHat stocks take a nose dive. I should have probably sold them the other day.
Excellent point. Mao is hardly known to people, as is Chang. You bring up either and you get blank stares for the most part.

I just bought a cheap wireless access point to connect to my wireless router. Works on my xbox fine for online gaming.
I haven't used any online maps in awhile for exact directions. When I tried to goto Reno about 3-4 years ago and printed out directions(I think yahoo maps) We ended up spending about 3 extra hours.

My head hurts. I think I need to drill another hole.

And then spawn areality TV show, "When Geeks attack"
