Short of Marvel's dotComics, which are usually 6 month old storylines set into flash. There are not alot of comic books online. DC has some cheesy lame-ass scroll all over to read comic thing on their site and there's always torrents and the CBR program but I find it miserable reading comics on a screen. The article seems to be more about web comic strips which are in no way new or news. Moving to E - comics or whatever is NOT a good idea financially for comic book companies because already they are free and I think that's the ONLY way anybody would be willing to be subjected to that experience.
My 11 year old son's PC has a GeForce 2 GTS w/ either 32 or 64mb of RAM and he manages to play well enough to be an Admin for the SITH clan and keep up pretty decent stats. They made this game able to run on pretty much ANY hardware (maybe not Intel integrated), but if your PC doesn't run HL2 shitcan it!!!

David Horn? Oh... I thought your name was trolly mc trollerson! My mistake.
Thanks. define: amen in google found these two which are a little closer to what I thought -
a Hebrew word meaning truly, it is true. As a concluding word of prayers, it expressed assent to and acceptance of God's will.
www.archmil.org/ourfaith/glossary.asp
Means "Yes, this is true!" or "Let it be so!"
www.followtherabbi.com/Brix
As a Catholic, we say this word as we receive communion. I was told that this was an affirmation that you believe in the solemnity of what you are receiving.
Hmmmm.... on IGN when I watched the clip. The Sony bigwig when asked point blank didn't hem and haw at all. He stated quite plainly -"No this is not pre-rendered. Yes this is on actual game hardware."
I wish that good movies sold movies too and not just big names. Unfortunately that's just wishful thinking - most shitty films w/ big name actors do FAR better than great, meaningful, artsy films w/ no namers. Sorry to burst your bubble...
Well... from what I've heard NONE of the next gen consoles will support 1080 with any kind of decent framerate. 720 is the max for both PS3 and XBOX 360 to keep it playable. I suppose they'll play video at that res. At any rate, I agree that it isn't THAT big of an issue. I believe that the parent should have stated: "I BELIEVE that if Nintendo can add HD support at the same price they will do better" rather than "It will never succeed without...". It probably would have been received better.
Ok... I don't know what else to say! I am right. You are wrong. Game Over. It is kind of cute I guess all of your floundering, but I am growing weary. I looked even more and while Rove may have said that - that is NOT the quote he is being attacked over. That is why it has NO bearing on this conversation whatsoever. He probably said this morning "Looks like a nice day today" and wasn't lying. I never said everything out of his mouth was a lie, just one quote! Your answer was to say "Oh, you quoted him lying? Ok, well I'll give you a different quote where he was telling the truth". Ummm... it doesn't work like that. I am sorry that you do live in Canada, you'd fit in well in Oklahoma. BTW, we were discussing a quote by Rove, not where you live, so why would I care where you live? I suppose if we ever decide to make you guys a state Karl will be happy to know that the Repo brainwashing spread up there as well and they can count on your support. Also, down here the word dipship is a fairly minor insult and usually doesn't receive the kind of silly, fake shock and disbelief that you feigned. Especially considering that you TRULY are a dipshit!
ps. sorry to hear War of the Worlds wasn't any good. I suggest Fantastic Four, coming out on the 8th.
Hmmm... I had not considered this. Damn! I hate no longer being a demographic. I want to be pandered to! I recently bought 2 PSP game systems. 1 for me and one for my 10 year old. We play a lot of racing games as well as Ape Escape, NBA Street, Tony Hawk, etc. It seems pretty kid friendly especially w/ pictures/music/movies as options as well it can help stretch out a game. I look forward to PSP/PS3 interoperability pushing the development of more family-style games in the future... not to say my family doesn't play a TON of Half-Life 2! Heh.
I pray you are not serious. At 5 she certainly cannot tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Have you already explained there is no toothfairy and Santa? Didn't think so! If 5 year olds could tell the difference between fantasy and reality you'd NEVER hear about the kids finding the guns under the bed and shooting them at each other thinking that they are toys. 'Nuff said!
To be fair - a good number of people in that age (especially as you approach 35) have children. It is a GREAT bonding experience to play games with your kids and it is much more personal and interactive with them than say television viewing. It is a valid concern I've heard brought up repeatedly. The simple truth is that there should be more "kid-friendly" titles for XBOX/Playstation.
OK you dipshit I'll call your bluff. First let me describe my research. I did not go to any leftist source or anything, I merely typed in "Karl Rove" to Google News. This is some info I garnished from the 2nd hit on the page (I didn't have the heart to quote from the 1st hit entitled: "Even Karl Rove's Lies Can't Save President Bush Now "). See? I't's true, we liberals are kinder and gentler! OK, so this article had the slightly less scornful title: "Rove's 9/11 political game: Strategy or insanity?" and it quoted Rove as saying "Conservatives saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and prepared for war, Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers". I don't know anything about this petition comment you are suddenly throwing in here. We haven't discussed that at all in our banter thus far, so let's just stick with the one comment shall we? I don't want to have to accuse you of some type of 'bait and switch' arguing technique. Sheesh, you Republicans! At any rate this is the one comment that he is being admonished for. I'm sorry if somehow by giving this exact quote and saying it is bullshit I led you to believe I was saying some totally obscure other quote of his was bullshit. Truthfully, I guess I overestimated your intelligence by some magnitude. It won't happen again. So, in a nutshell: If you Google for recent news about Karl Rove every single article will show this exact quote and none (that I could find, anyway) will reference your quote that you pulled out of your ass. Also, you once again allow for the phrase "Liberals" to mean "a few folks over at MoveOn.org" at you and Karl's whim I'm guessing... I don't quite understand your stance there. At any rate, I strongly believe that most liberals would have liked to see maybe just enough restraint to you know, like maybe go into the right country, attack the right people something like that. To you that seems crazy. A sheep like you will follow your president in to the wrong war/wrong country any day of the week in the name of patriotism! You don't need to think, they'll tell you what to filter out from what you hear and what to believe and you with your pathetically weak mind will be more than happy to go to bat for them, sticking up for their atrocities to any nay-sayer on the internet who might have a problem with their policies. I imagine you'd have done well as a young lad in the Nazi party... you could have used your incredible skills at justification to forgive yourself probably any action whatsoever. So, keep sticking up for Karl and George all you want and wedging your head tightly up your own ass - in the end you are the only one the worse for it!
You found even one person willing to say "I want to offer therapy to our enemies"? I call Bullshit! I'm a liberal, I hang out w/ liberals, I know many, many liberals. It is beyond my imagination that even one of them would want to "offer therapy" to our enemies. Most of us want to do CRAZY shit w/ tax dollars like spend it here in America on education. Just admit it - Karl Rove is a fucked up liar that said that to purposely be devisive and draw more hate to Democrats. But OK, you keep on believing that all DEmocrats love terrorist and want to fund their pscho-therapy (sounds like you could use some, although neither I nor any Democrats I know would be willing to foot the bill w/ tax dollars were it up to us as long as you can afford it yourself).
If I'm understanding correctly you are asking me what I believe is the % of Democrats or liberal Republicans that actually wanted to console our enemies and offer therapy to terrorists immediately after 9/11. Ummm... my guess, maybe 0-1% at most if anybody had considered this at all. I mean seriously, we all pulled together as a country at that time IIRC. Then your president abused all of that patriotism and support he had by letting Osama go and going after Saddam instead, the patriot act, etc. I'm not sure what point you were trying to make, but if you believe that 85% of Liberals want to console our enemies, Christ do I feel sorry for you. Oh, and please don't breed. Thanks!
Heh... and an Anonymous Coward steps up. How shocking! Well I hope your kids do good in "colledge", I've never heard of it. But, due to the shit school systems in our country I have had my 3 sons in private school for the last 7 years and guess what... you were right about the other part too! My family DID at one point receive food stamps when we were both in college (not to be confused w/ colledge). I don't feel guilty about it at all and it only amuses me that there are fucktards out there like you who think that is a slam.
Also, I will not Google search for you how bad we've backslid in environmental laws since your dickhead took office. Feel free to have one of your little pre-colledge geniuses that you've taught yourself (LMAO) explain to you how it works. You may wish to explain to them how Cowardice is un-American and Anonymity is a terrorist's friend while you're bonding Mr. Anonymous Coward.
Hmmm.... so the speech said "Some people over @ moveon.org said this..." NO! It said - "The Liberals wanted to offer therapy to out attackers". See, lumping everybody together like that is kind of like bigotry. It's like the difference between saying "All Slashdotters talk straight out of their asses and prove other people's points with their extreme stupidity" (false) and saying "Snocone talks straight out of his ass and proves other people's points with his extreme stupidity(true). The context of who I include in my statement changes the meaning so check your text again and study long...
You could joke about your president if you want. I personally don't find it funny. I made jokes before the election. I tend to find things more amusing that don't have to do with my future and that of my children being fucked by some greedy assholes. Our liberties being stripped to protect us from imaginary terrorists, corporate thieves like Ken Lay walking free, Head Start and other educational programs cut drastically, a ridiculous debt for a war that makes not a single member of the US safer, disastrous environmental laws, and no work towards self sufficiency from foreign oil whatsoever. If you have a joke that can bring me levity in spite of that let's hear it! Otherwise, when we're talking about Google on Slashdot STFU about Democrat bashing or I will bring it. You got NO room to speak... I'm tired of sycophant individuals spewing off and ruining my techie conversations on Slashdot. Remember, YOU started this not me. I was happy discussing M$ vs. Google minus the political jibes.
My humble and sincere apologies then. I guess we have enough dividers with idiots like Karl Rove coming out and saying on national television that Democrats wanted to offer therapy to terrorists after 9/11! I mean, I guess that kind of stuff puts me a little on the defensive. Nothing personal (unless you are one of those freaks who thinks WDMS exist in Iraq).;)
I agree that people will use what's cheaper. Wow, that sure is irrelevant in this conversation! Search is free from both companies. So, people will use what everybody else is using. Unless the phrase changes from "I'm going to Google that when I get home..." to "I'm going to MSN search that when I get home" then people will continue using Google to do their Googling.
Point #2 - It is amusing that people are saying that only geeks would use Google because if MSN search gets easier to use people will flock to that. Well, wake up! Only geeks are AWARE of a search engine war. You think grannie can even contemplate that there are meetings upon meetings and strategy behind this?
The parent is right. I mean I wouldn't ditch Windows that readily because they've got me pretty entrenched (you know w/ my HL2 and all!) but I do resent MS and won't switch to their web search or desktop search even if it does become marginally better than Google. It wouls literally have to be twice as good to even tempt me. I mean, I seem to be able to find info on the web now w/ Google pretty OK... so what could MS possibly offer me - 2 or 3 links that Google didn't find? Hmmm... I could probably live w/ out them.
I love it when lame-ass polital jokes that don't fit get put in Slashdot. Probably drawing a comparison between Hitler, Bush, and Gates would be easier since they all had this Messiah-iac lunatic thing going on.
But when Bush came out LAST NIGHT and said in his speech many times that 9/11 and the Iraq war were linked... ummm OK I can see why you are picking a Democrat to bash on instead. It's just like starting a game on 'Nightmare' instead of 'Easy' right, you love a challenge?
Heh... agreed. Although I must admit to being of modest enough means that I have a 5.1 channel Benwin surround system that is my main "home theater" setup and was just barely over $200(not counting stands). I have a nice(and loud) car stereo as well but go to pains to tweak the EQ to the point where I can listen to music at fairly lour levels w/ out it distorting and still sounding GREAT! I pine for a day when I can own my dream system but it would prob cost about what I make in a year now so I'll have to wait. I try to do research before I buy each piece of equipment but occasionally get burned. Which is why I was giving the heads up on wireless. Ugghg... what a nightmare that was! Good cord management is a much better solution, IMO.
