It seems a lot of people have gotten emotionally invested in this introvert vs. extrovert label. I'm usually not one to shoe-horn someone into a particular title because of generalized observations. But from what I've gathered, if provoked, introverts are more likely to send you a nasty email or court summons and extroverts will send you to a hospital.
Great, I'll read it, become proficient in it. Then wait for the hosting companies to migrate to mysql5 in the next year or two so I can implement something that won't break for clients.
Actually they are my friend, unfortunately the editor I originally scribed the piece in evidently got smitten with evil and in a sinister act of fowl play striped my post of line breaks and as it seems, mangled some text.
Thank you for your helpful observations and insights.
My first experience with the GTA series was renting the top-down version and thinking "this game sux", I promptly took it back to the blockbuster. When GTA III hit with the third person perspective I was willing to bive it a try and from the first meeting with the Leone family sluming for work I was hooked, even though the system of opening up the islands sux. Vice City was craaazy and added to the excitement of the franchise with Tommy doing his own thing was nothing like chasing them fools on that motorcycle or running from the cops with 5 stars trying to get to the ocean view then hard braking and sliding up onto the steps popping out onto the hood with police slamming into you trapped taking incoming til you could wiggle a space between the car to enter the door and feeling like whoah I made it. I still wished I was able to buy lots of clothes from Rafaels, pimp that club I brought more, and make really good porn flics. But hey, I was just a game right.
Then Uber-Hyped SanAndreas hit the pipes and I gotta have it, the whole switching from Tommy/mafia to CJ/gangbanger thing some getting used to, and what was with that orange blurr heat wave effect. It looked for a few minutes like I was headed for gamers hell trying to take a g back I didn't want. Once I got pass the culture shock I was sucked into the modding cars (nitrous... how cool is that), rapid fire missions... come on who didnt just love the mission with smoke shooting from the back of the motorcycle being chased into the aqua ducts. Wow.
The schools system was a blast and the selection of cars, boats, and bikes was awesome, not to mention my favorite talk radio station... nothing like going berzerk listening to talk radio. But for me, loading up on molotovs and rocket laucher shells, securing 5 stars baiting them back to CJs moms house, climbing atop the alleyway rooftop letting them have it til the tanks came was priceless. Though I did get a bit annoyed with the relentless dating, just for a few suits.
Well Microsoft has the resources to deftly try their hand at any venture within site, reach, or thought. But does that transfer to the "it" factor, or a lesser persuader, respect? I think not. There are enough MS detractors constantly spinning negative propaganda to make most ventures they seek difficult at best to accomplish, and at worst show more red ink than a pirates convention.
The "it" factor goes a long way in today's culture, I'm a victim of it myself, I find myself draw to "cool" yet useful products and services, and in my demographic, even with the colorful butterfly and smiley faced icons, commercials, and front man employees, the Microsoft culture just doesn't seem cool.
I'm a happy Firefox camper, but I've dl'ed at least 6 versions (relatively new adopter:(), so I guess the milestone is symbolic. Symbolic or not, it's pretty impressive. Now if only they can stop it from choking on a certain crop of sportsline.com's sinister pop-unders.
Evil knows and loves evil because I.E. displays them without a glitch.
I had a normal childhood until the NES came along and ruined my life. Specifically the introduction of the Legend of Zelda franchise. I would play that game until the controllers were stripped from my tiny cramped fingers. I would play with the sound off when my parents fell asleep and fall asleep in school thinking about it.
That system started me on a life long video game obsession that continues today and always seems to hack at my GPA thank the heavens I ever got to college, now I just have to finish.
The situation is truly grave. The lost of a nic is no small dilemma. When faced with the lost of a beloved nic I try to salvage some semblance of it... hmmm, did they cancel out TacoCmdr? Has a nice ring to.

That's what you get in rural America. We must learn to live with it.
