There are still people that dedicate fanboy time, thought, and effort to which company makes the faster 3D accelerators?? Didn't that die when 3DFX went under???
They one-up each other every three months, people. The pattern is well documented now. Move on.
You got all that from my *sarcastic* two line post?? I never said bringing media attention to the problem of voter fraud is a bad idea. I was merely pointing out the sematics of one person alleging that DNC operatives were instructed to "claim voter intimidation" and you calling it "highlighting past voter intimidation." A subtle but very important distinction to make.
One of my complaints about conservatives is that they are hypocritical. If Republican voter registration cards were being torn up, what do you think the Republican reaction would be?
They would accuse the Democrats of being hypocritical.
Couldn't you use the same argument against Quake then? Being a "first" doesn't diminish Goldeneye's (or Quake's) greatness in my eyes. In hindsight it may not be the best FPS ever, but still to this day I've not had more fun deathmatching with my friends with any other game than I had with Goldeneye.
I love/. mods. Xbox Live Arcade.... running MAME on Xbox to achieve the same/better effect.... you're right Mr. Mod, completely unrelated. I am offtopic.
Is there any source that states that fertility clinics DO currently get federal funds? The source you cited says that they MAY get federal funds, but I'm afraid I can't use that in a debate against anyone with a functioning brain (it would stump the hell out of Dubya though). I'm going to spend the weekend with a house full of Bush backers, and i'll need a stronger argument than this.
If you mod your xbox can you run MAME on it? What would be involved in making this happen? I've considered modding my xbox but haven't had a convincing reason to go to the trouble. This would be worth the trouble. Better than Xbox Live Arcade, infinite number of games, and completely free (perhaps of questionable legality though).
Can someone enlighten me? (I guess I could google it but i'm lazy)
Do you disagree that these are Lucas' movies and that he has the right to present them however he wants? I'm not exactly defending him, but if he is as money-grubbing as you say he is, wouldn't it have made more economic sense to give the fans exactly what they wanted? And if he had done that, wouldn't you then have to call him a sellout?
For the record, I would have loved for Lucas to release the original theatrical versions with a few visual cleanups (matte lines around the TIE fighters, for instance). Just playing devil's advocate here, no flames.
I'm also used to WASD/mouse controls on PC and I had no problems learning and getting pretty good with the sticks in Halo. Did you never play Goldeneye on N64? In Halo(xbox) and Goldeneye(n64) you've missed two of the most fun experiences in FPS history. All because "you don't play FPS on consoles."
It takes a minute to get accustomed to the controls, but once you do it's heaven. How about giving it more than a two minute try?
Have you seen Ted Nugent's daughter?? (Actually, he's got two. One's fine, the other's not.) He's not directly involved in politics, but he's got some "so-far-right-it's-left" ideas.
The Games section has been pretty slow since its inception, but are we now going to have posts announcing the release of this game or that? I come here for the stuff I can't get on vanilla sites like IGN and GameSpot. We can get "YAYorz, HL2 is finally out, I'm can't wait to go to the mall after school to get it!" posts anywhere.
Surely you're not comparing the execution of criminals to the execution of helpless children.
So are you now asserting that men (read: G.W.Bush) can pass judgement and dole out death on fellow human beings just as God can, but a mother is not fit to decide whether her fetus lives or dies? What makes it OK for him but not for her? Bush would call you a flip-flopper.
Do they really want us to believe that PS3s everywhere are going to cluster up over everyday broadband networks and share the world's graphics processing load?? Does this mean that Madden 2008 will look much prettier when it's got Internet access? If I take it off the network will it look worse? And does this mean graphical quality will vary depending on the time of day that I play? If it's the middle of the night and the only people playing PS3 at the same time are in China, will my graphics lag?
Interesting thought but doesn't really apply here since we (the taxpayers) didn't have a choice in the matter. I suppose the upcoming election is our chance to express our approval or disapproval, but it's all after the fact.
Good idea in theory, won't ever happen. The general public is way too slow to adopt (and adapt). Traditional email's been in widespread availability since, what, the late 80's? And my mother still calls me for help with the CC: line.

Calm down. I think we're on the same side.
"Fear, uncertainty, doubt, deception, suppress dissent, nothing to see here, it's hard work, terrorists, terrorists, terrorists, consume, consume, consume."

It's a zero-sum game.
I'm starting to get the hang of this "politics" thing.

Do fertility clinics get federal funds? It's an honest question, not a setup.

Wasn't there a more, how shall I put this... unbiased way to word the intro to this article??Does that count?

How silly of me... I forgot my tags... Bear with me, i'm still trying to get the hang of this XML notation.
Rubbish.
Nice thing to do.
Thanks for modding me offtopic, no one could tell by the big "OT:" in the subject line.

There is nothing unethical about parting morons from their money. And I might also add, it's a quite lucrative endeavor!
That was hilarious.
I guess the terms compromise a network and virtually untraceable didn't inspire happy thoughts.
