    actualy that would be the tax break that they just decided they were going to give everyone but won't be able to anymore,. sure we believe you when you tell us it was coming all along, sure it was. damn liberals. actual, in all fairness it is a democracy. damn Candians, figure your shit out.

    on a side note, two elections ago i was pretty sure i would be able to vote next time around but instead it looks like i won't again since i'm not 18 until march.

  3. Re:Example of moving the pollution elsewhere on The Car That Makes Its Own Fuel · · Score: 0

    but the energy needed to refine magnesium or alluminium can come from any source, not just oil. the entire purpose of making a hydrogen fuelled car is to remove the need for gasoline "in cars" because the combustion engine is very inefficient and oil prices are on the rise. using this meathod, the energy needed to refine the metal can come from wind, solar, or nuclear power. while it doesn't solve the energy problem (cheap, renewable, pollutant free) and it may not even reduce polution levels, this was never the intent of any car, hydrogen, electrical or otherwise. it is unfair to expect a car to be run on water or air or dirt. and solar technology is not good enough yet for a solar car. but in the mean time, this is a very real solution to storing energy in a way that can be reused and replenished and if we ever develop fusion or some similar technology to produce enegry, this can be a way to get that energy into our cars.

  8. Re:What an empty review... on CS: Source Half-Life's Only Multiplayer · · Score: 0

    Wait until the December edition of PCGamer. (Oct 5) it contains the first review of Half-Life 2. anyone who has played HL2 has said that the AI is beyond anything they have ever seen. and if you ever played CS: Condition Zero, the AI is very good aswell. Its almost impossible to distinguish between the human players and the AI players on a mixed server.

    When VAVLe decided to make HL2 around 5 years ago, they also decided to delay TF2 until they could make it for HL2. I dont think they thought it would take this long. TF2 is going to come out according to VALVe.

    I'm not sure that it means that only 20% of the 'species' survived. maybe its mean to say that 80% induvidual 'animals' survived.

    I could go for some of that right now. kill all the stupid people and you are left with a race of humans of the highest potential in their genes (because they were the ones that survived).
