I.T. Certification is just like getting a drivers license. As you have all probably noticed about 75% of people that have a license have no driving skills whatsoever! It is the Same for your MCSE, CISSP, CCNA, or whatever other certification of the moment that is hot. chances are they are certified but have no clue what to do when they get behind a keyboard.
"My impression is that people believe more of what they read than what I tell them"
Maybe 10 years ago i would have trusted what you (doctors) had to say but today you are all just sell outs!!! Last time i went for a visit because of an illness i had to wait well over an hour because you were to busy visiting with your pharmaceutical reps. by the time i got back there you had already wrote the flonase and antibiotics scripts before you even took a look at me.
I am seriously looking into "alternative" treatments for everyday illnesses as I am tired of being given the medication that you get kickbacks from.. but hey if it gets you and the family an all expense paid trip to Australia paid for by glaxosmithkline I'm sure some of your patients wouldn't mind taking it to help you out.
although it may sound just as useless as he parent I think there could be some merit to helping the non experianced vacation scuba diver find his way back to where the boat is. If the Open Water movie has tought us anything let it be that (A) we should have waited for the dvd release and not saw it in the theater. and (B) it sucks to come to the surface only to find that the boat is not there. At the very least the UNS (Underwater Navigation System) could have at least made them surface where the boat was supposed to be. That would have made for less arguing before they were rescued by the Dolph.... I mean sharks.
I don't know if any of you have experianced backwards compatibility on the PS2 but i thought it sucked. Being that i had to wait over a year for gran turismo 3 to be released i started playing the ps1 version of gran turismo 2 on my ps2. the graphics seemed to be sub par of my ps1 and the load time was no better on the beefier ps2. I maybe a minority in thinking backwards compat. is useless. if i want to play halo 2 or Lego starwars i will put the disk in my original xbox... Wow now there is a concept.
at the end of each weeks episode they (actors,writers) should all bring there torches to the bridge of the enterprise. at which point a hologram of gene rodenberry will appear. during this time the losing group be it the writers or actors will have to vote somebody off of the show...by throwing them out of the airlock. ratings will be at an all time high! and if the crew really hates the punk that was voted off they can take turns phazzoring him as he floats by.
the show title is original. however the show story telling has been much different than the original 70's show (hair cuts are a big improvement). Still havn't seen them stop at a casino yet.. its only been a few episodes though here in the U.S and i'm to lazy to download season 1.
I would have rather had a review on the Online screwups that are going on right now on halo2 xbox live. aside from playing the same busted ass maps over and over again... the game is rampent with glitches and cheats that are being exploited day in and day out. while it is not bungie's fault that the world is full of cheating 10 year olds, it is there fault for not taking steps to ensure that obvious cheats like pressing the standbye button on a cable modem and lagging everybody out are not being programatically stopped (example: when 9 out of 10 are timing out pause the game until the timeout is resolved.) There are many other screwups that i could list but this is the one that pissed me off the most. for a complete listing jump over to bungie.net halo 2 forums and if you dare venture over to halo2sucks.com (they maybe a little biased though).
Season 10 episodes. STEP1: find dead horse. STEP2: borrow large stick from prop closet. Step3: $Profit$.... looks like they found a way to complete the formula.. good for them!
Bleed over from SG-1/SG-A... while SG-1 may have been a better written show when SCI-Fi first took the helm the new series has been a total joke. and to be fair to Atlantis i don't think they know what direction they want to go yet.
BSG doesn't air until 10pm on a cable station. while Enterprise Airs on a National station @ 8 o'clock i think... i would think you have a larger possible audience being on broadcast.
Wow.... How someone can actually mention "Galactica 1980" and not be labeled TROLL I'll never know. FYI...we don't talk about that misconceived show in public.
"And anybody else upset that Microsoft wants to rush the next next generation?" NOT AT ALL!!!
One of the things that has kept the Xbox behind the PS2 (i said one but there are others) is the fact that sony flat out beat them to market. by the time xbox came out sony had serveral titles that were already on there way to platinum sales while Xbox was only able to get massive sales of halo.
Also, by getting there dev kits out now they may very well have an edge on sony by having a better game library for the first year or so.

thats kinda what i expected to hear from a Trekie. you probably have a signed poster of rick berman on the wall in your parents basement.

The french version is great!!!!! The only draw back i've seen so far is that you don't have any guns.... just a white flag.
A clerks sequel..... This ranks right up there as one of the dumbest things ever right next to greddo shooting first!
