    True story: I was once walking a customer through a settings change on their server.

    I said "Create an entry called AutoMTUDiscovery and set the value to a dword of 1."

    Their response? "Is that 1 decimal or 1 hex?"

    Of course I answered "That would be 1 in binary."

    That is the same thing that John Romero said in pre launch Daikatana hype. Now he is making PocketPC games.
    I think that content is king, but I also think that the since of wonder at new technologies on the part of our community is justified. That is to say we ain't see nothing yet.

    Another words you get a way better bang for your buck with PS3.

    You can always tell when someone doesn't read enough. Strange little phonetic alterations like this pop up and add +5 retard to my internal filter.

    In other words. This concludes the asshole portion of this post :).

    XBOX 3 will not launch in two years. I don't agree with MS reasoning on a quick launch of XBOX 2, but I can follow the reasoning and see the logic.

    DOA is deceptively deep. Instant gratification is there, and so is luck, but play against someone who has taken the time to really get to know the game and the button masher "luck reversal" folks will get their brains bashed in 10 times out of 10.

    I love it.

    I don't have much love for Halo 2, but Socom 2 is awful. Buying a nic and headset for the ps2 is about the same price as buying a live starter kit anyway.

    Since you have an xbox now, get Stranger's Wrath. No multiplayer, but loads of fun and a great story.

    Your point is valid, but ultimately you are wrong. You are trying to influence an election in a tiny way that is unethical (if itty-bitty). Culpability or lack thereof on the part of the media is not relevant to that fact.

    That's why we cannot seem to find common ground (despite both of us being conservatives). I think that this Presidential election like all before them is a referendum on the incumbant or party in power. Kerry is a sideshow; I'm voting against Bush, not for anyone. Because of this, your rage against him seems odd to me.

    I think that you are taking this far too personally. I was actually goading you to see your take on our recieving (good) assistance from your enemies (Frenchies and Germans). Anyhoo, since you are regurgitating the exact same "French/Germany Corruption Bad and Unique in 1st World" arguement I have changed my mind. That's right, the 65536th time was the charm. We should go it alone everywhere!

    I apologize if I seem jaded. I've been reading too much news lately. I am so fucking tired of seeing Americans attack people who are politically different. We are all Amaericans, and opponents not enemies.

    It appears that we actually agree on most points. This has been the first time in my life that I have not voted Republican. Your arguments are mostly valid. Just ask yourself if you have applied the same scrutiny to the Bush ticket. I did, and I voted Kerry.

    Terrorism will never stop. Terrorism can be reduced to the level of nuisance. That is the only reasonable definition of victory in this "war" in my opinion. To that end, I have agree with what he said in the infamous "nuisance" interview. If he had said what you say he did (quotes and all) this would be a different issue. But hey, I like to be informed so I read it myself. It appears you get your info from Bush stump appearances.

    This is true. Bush checked "Unwilling to work overseas" on his paperwork. This may sound like volunteering for Vietnam, but Vietnam is actually overseas.

    I thought that the movie was very well made. It didn't really change my mind about anything, but I enjoyed it and respect Moore for his talents.

    I love that it has brought about a debate; I hate that it hasn't brought about a healthy debate. Have you actually considered any of his points? I did. Some are silly, some are wrong, and some deserve more attention. After all, a great many Americans supported the Vietnam war too. Where are they now?

    Remember that patriotism isn't agreement. Remember that EVERYONE with power would just a soon eat you as treat you fairly. Make up your own mind.
