    Here's some more mental gymnastics for you: What happens if they are tried as adults?

    If they're charged as adults then they obviously have the maturity to understand the full consequences of their actions and so forth, but the original incident was illegal because they DONT have that level of maturity yet.

    That only telling people the full terms of use after they can no longer return the product is also a pretty underhanded means of doing business?

    Wouldn't matter if it did, "under god" meant "god willing" rather than the way we use it today.

    Mod parent up, "under god" WAS added in the 50's and it is a blatant violation of the seperation of church and state.

    is why the hell they don't let you use a calculator. My conversation with my (now utterly uncertified) instructor went about like this:

    "In real life you won't always have a calculator"
    "BS, we're working ON COMPUTERS"
    "Well what if the batteries die?"
    "Solar power, spare batteries, or I could use one of MY computers"
    "And what if the power is out then, smart guy?"
    "Well I guess I won't have very much to do if that happens while I'm working dialed into a router then, will I?"

    I almost think you're just trolling me. Almost. But since you did ask a reasonably answerable question the average improvement I've seen when I enable the extra 2 cores in Orange Box engine games is going from 60-80fps to 120-200fps.

    As for buying for the future being a stupid catch phrase, bullshit.

    Nowadays you've basically got a choice between a 3.4ghz quadcore and a 3.4-3.8ghz dualcore (4ghz is still a little out of range for the average overclocker). I'd rather have another 2 cores and a slower clockspeed than a slight boost in clockspeed. Then again maybe that's because I'm not an idiot that relies on the false logic that just because it's not immediately the absolute best thing out there that it won't be very useful to have for the next few years.
