So, obviously, you haven't played the Bunny Track maps for Unreal Tournament. (original). It's ingenious that people were able to the subtleties of the game and use them to form a new game type where it takes a certain amount of skill (you have to learn all the new ways to jump a certain height, or method, such as piston jumping or dodge ramp jumping), and then apply them skillfully.
To me, the BT (Bunny track) maps for UT only indicate and point to a new direction in 3D gaming.
Although PDF's have proven quite prevalent and useful, I would be happy if Microsoft presented a solution, simply because Abobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 has been a royal pain in the ass to use. I can't imagine how many man-hours have been lost due to Acrobat Reader 6.0 crashing numerously, in addition to the long load times full of useless plugins.
Acrobat Reader also is a huge memory hog, and remains in memory after closing it! Die fast, and Yippee ki-yay, stupid Acrobat Reader!
At least Microsoft will have the sense to make it load fast and without crashing innumerably...
That's why the US army needs to help hook up the JFCCN(whatever you spell that) with many hot sexy femme fatale spies.
However, if this happened true, the JCNN application process would be slashdotted in a second.
Well, you are limited to 10 Meg attachments. Dunno what kinda pr0n you watch, but I suspect most people will need more than a measly 10 meg attachment to satifsy their new Gpr0nMail.
Did anyone else see the GMAIL login page become this:
well i'm not good enough to download the page,
there's a funny handdrawn picture,
but here's the text:
Welcome to Gmail
A Google approach to math.
On the eve of Gmail's one-year birthday, our engineers were toiling away furiously. Notes scribbled all over the walls. Complex calculations on napkins and empty pizza boxes. Millions of M&Ms.
The result?... starting today, we're beginning the roll-out of our new and top secret Infinity+1 storage plan. The key features are:
Write, don't worry.
You want to stop caring about storage. We want to keep giving you more. Today, and beyond.
The gift that keeps on giving.
1102.353769 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user.
No complicated equations. No tough algorithms.
Just this one graph:
Gmail turns 1 today. And we've always loved a good joke. We know we won't reach infinity, but check out what we will do...

A few words about Gmail and privacy.
Playing CS 10 hours a day is doable, but it quickly gets very tiring. In fact, playing FPS and single player rpg's is about the only thing I can personally handle, as I will get tired of them and can break them off.
I know that once I get my hands on an MMORPG, I might as well throw my real life out the window.
FPS games are SAFE. So are single-player RPG's.
For my own safety I will never touch an MMORPG!
Exactly. Its a numbers/"get the best items" game. Getting the best items boils down to, once again, numbers. I knew I could NEVER touch (never have, never will) an MMORPG after I played NeverWinterNights Multiplayer, which is not an MMORPG but is like a tiny tiny MMORPG. I got addicted instantly; I would play every moment and be thinking about it when I was not playing. Once again, it was a numbers thing. How did I break my NWN addiction? Simple. I didn't uninstall the game, nor did I do things like "hide the cd". All I did was give up all my hard-earned items right in the game, after an exhaustive round (so I actually was mad at myself for spending the whole day playing it, and was willing to "break" the addiction). After giving up the items, my own laziness ensured I would never play again cause the pain of maxing out a character with max stats and items was too great.
Speaking of numbers, here is a good way for everyone to have a laugh at MMORPG's. Who knows, this might even get the point across to some addicted players and hopefully break their addiction:

I often find that the real signs of MMORPG addictions are phrasings such as "RL" for real life. Who else (even other gamers such as Counter-Strike players) would refer to real life as "RL". In fact, I play alot of Counter-strike, but I still think of real life as just something normal, and would never refer to it as "Real Life".
It's impossible for me to productive on a Mac. Even simple things like Web-surfing, I can't right-click and do many useful things; in fact, the one-button default mouse (which I can't change since I am using Macs at school) really slows me down by a few times. I take, say, 30 mins instead of 20 mins to surf the same webpages.
What about the theory that Google's search is literally going to become the backbone of the internet, since everyone is now using only their search engine? Then we must fear google, but by then it has become too late.
Well, that sure came across as paranoid. Think: Googlezon// ok, tinfoil hat off
is using a key that important? All i ever do is set up an access list for MAC addresses, and that can stop anyone you don't want! (i think). well, also, i don't care about ppl stealing my packets haha. but besides packet snooping, setting up access lists should be enough?
In Canada, back in middle school (1997-1999) the thing (well, the only thing) to use was ICQ. then for some odd reason (i'm guessing due to new, cooler features) a bunch migrated to MSN when i was in high-school (1999-2002).
When I came to California for university, EVERYONE (freshman, juniors, blah) used AIM. Thus I changed to AIM (used MSN for a while to talk to high school friends, but that gradually faded out). ICQ is long dead, i dont think anyone i know from middle and high school uses that anymore.
also, almost all asians who are from asia use MSN and ICQ tho.

Wow! This is so exciting! / First 5 posts. Woohoo.

haha! Yes, put this on slashdot frontpage: "Everyone, on April's first, go above 1 GB!!!" Let's slashdot Google and Gmail!

Excuse my ignorance, but was GTK developed for and consquently off of GIMP?

hehe i thought someone might ask about that. what i meant was, asians who were not born in america (ie FOB's as opposed to ABC's)
