yes, the philippines. if you ever find yourself back here again, go to GreenHills - there you'll find a neverending stream of people who want to sell you "X". no, not the drug, but x-rated movies.
i did, and actually made 2 versions - one for the original series, and one for TNG:P
i'd make voyager, if only i didn't dislike the series so much. *sigh*
45 countries, right. and most of them are 3rd world countries hoping for a handout. i should know, i live in one of them (the Philippines)! every single person i've asked about the war thinks it's stupid, unnecessary, or possibly even illegal. but our president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo continues to support Bush all the way because she knows it'll get her ahead in the end, as almost all other neighboring countries in the area disagree with him.
well, not if you don't really use it. since these things offer almost no EM shielding, they're not really useful - just for show, folks. you have to admit, it *does* look cool. i suppose if you have enough money to waste on something like this, you have enough money for another computer, one that's actually useful.
a Glock or Sig or HK - any of which can go 10,000 - 30,000 rounds without a jam or misfire...
not to mention fire while clogged with mud, sand, and dirt. firing while waterlogged is also an important feature with these guns. would these new "smart guns" be waterproof?
this would be the Harmony Gold Robotech, not the original japanese Macross? there's a huge quality difference between the two. later in the Robotech series you see people walking in place, or floating off the ground... really ugly. i remember in one episode lynn minmei was supposed to be singing as she walked up a runway, and it looked like she was doing the moonwalk for around 20 seconds. eugh.
now this is just ridiculous. one of those rockets is hardly a "weapon of mass destruction". i'm sure people have broken windows or maybe injured themselves using these, but they can hardly be used in an offensive way, right? or maybe i'm just underestimating the inventiveness of kids these days...
i'm glad i live in the philippines, where you're free to blow up your hands with fireworks however you can.
the segway is good technology, not a good product. and it's not trying to fill any niche - it's trying to replace the car outright! you're correct, it is fighting a cultural battle against men and their big, gas-guzzling SUV's, but honestly, it doesn't have much firepower.
they're 'in' only because the underground punk rock scene is experiencing a great revival. emo, hardcore, ska, old-school punk... lots of bands are getting more experimental and pushing the envelope when it comes to making music. the runoff is that people start thinking punk is cool, which makes the record companies want to cash in.
Avril Lavigne is a prime example. she gets paid to "act tough" whenever a reporter or photographer is in the area. in person she's reportedly a really sweet, nice girl. she's just a sellout, though. no self-respecting sensible teenager would really support her, as she goes against all the morals and ideals that the punk community has encouraged. i guess that's why the real punks hate her and the normal kids like her so much - she's a conformist, but a conformist who lets them tap into the image of punk and rock, without bothering them with the flak you get if you really are a punk.
if you want to have a taste of what's been going on 'behind the scenes', so to speak, try these bands:
Coheed and Cambria
The Used
Thrice
Killswitch Engage
At The Drive-In
Camp Kill Yourself (you might recognize their music from the Jackass movie)
Glassjaw
Finch
Mindless Self Indulgence
Rufio
RX Bandits
Showoff
Tsunami Bomb
Youth Brigade
no, work is the place for stealing office supplies, co-worker's belongings, and occasionally computer parts.
if you're really good, you can steal increments of a cent from your company constantly, over the course of several years, and end up with more money than you'll ever actually make working for them; although most likely you'll mess up, and land yourself in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.;)
it looks like a lot of people haven't heard of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and are passing this off as a matrix/x-men/whatnot ripoff.
come on guys, this is a comic book. i thought you were geeks?;) true, it has the slick look of just about any another special-effects movie, but give it a chance.
if you want to know more about the comic book, take a look here.
now this is one "comic book" movie that i've been waiting for. the characters may not exactly have amazing powers, but they've definitely got a lot more going for them in terms of depth and charm. i'm sorry, but i found the X-men (in the movie, folks) to be flat and uninteresting.
Alan Quartermain is going to kick some serious butt.
somehow strafejumping throughout quake 3 by thought just isn't the same...
and dont forget, only real hardcore gamers have that badge of honor called "carpal tunnel syndrome". i'd sure miss comparing wrist injuries with people at our semi-regular lan parties;)

if you have to snipe to get "monster kill" ringing in your ears, then you dont have enough fans watching you play;)
as soon as i saw the news on CNN, i immediately thought to myself, "how long before they blame even *this* on terrorism?" (sorry, i'm way too cynical to think that that wouldn't happen)
it seems that the world beat me to the punch. people were blaming it on terrorists before they even knew what happened to the shuttle.
actually, since the Undead are the hardest race to play (their "cheese" tactics are pretty easy to counter), playing well with the Undead means that you generally play well with all the other races. I personally go for 3 heroes early in the game, all of them with direct-damage spells (Carrion Swarm, Death Coil, and Frost Nova). sure, i may be at a disadvantage with regards to units, but that's nothing a few well-placed spells and clever micromanaging can't solve. enemy heroes go down pretty quickly after they've been hit by three offensive spells.
the lynchpin of the whole operation is a high-level dread lord - carrion swarm and vampiric aura mean he can deal out damage to whole groups of enemies, and heal his own army without any mana cost. cool, eh? the death knight just sits back and keeps on casting death coil at any units that are damaged. i've taken out 3 armies at once with my "puny" army of 12 ghouls and 3 heroes. which just goes to show how deep Warcraft III's gameplay is - with enough practice, and dedication, even seemingly overwhelming odds can be surmounted.

dont worry, years of sitting in front of the monitor have neutered almost all of our kind...

enjoy.
not to mention bike riding. lots of free space to get up good speed, places to do some wicked jumps, drops, etc.
