Memo to paretn:
It's evident we need to facilitate a paradigm shift in regards to modern 'speach production techniques', so as to leverage a vertical and horizontal integration with the core components.
Exactly.
I bought Halo PC and played it for a little while, but I just found it to be utterly boring.
I don't know if the game is just bad, or if its just the port.
I must say, I played it on a LAN on XBox and it wasn't that bad. Deathmatch games are more fun when you're right there with the people you're playing, but aside form that, it was a weak game.
It's got nothing on Unreal Tournament or Quake 3/4 as a deathmatch game, or CS as a teamplay game.
I agree with your sentiment, but what would Google have achieved by refusing? They would have been banned and so the Chinese people would have no Google, and they would make no money.
It's a lose-lose situation.
At least this way Google can make some money, provide the Chinese with a service they desperately need and hopefully begin the dismantle the Great Firewall.
If they would have told China to shove it, none would have been any better off.
Well, sort of.
Most of the people who are really into the pro Quake community ( Esreality.com ) think he's a hack.
He has a lot hateirs because of the way he dropped Quake 3 to play a bunch of shitty games with no competiton (Aliens vs. Predator comes to mind).
Then he claims he's the best Quake 3 player ever, when really he quit before Cooller got good, never consistently beat ZeRo4 and would likely have gotten thrashed by 5 or so other players.
He's not the best FPS player in the world, Cooller is, Fatal1ty is just good enough at making himself a brand.
But to those people who don't really know a lot about pro-gaming, but know 'about' this Fatal1ty guy, who talks like he's the world champion of video games or something, this endorsement probably has an effect.
As for the mouse, I use an MX518 (Which I got cheap) that does everything I'd want it to do.
It even has a DPI changer (Though I never use it).
I see no real reason to buy the mouse.
Being from Ohio, I'd like to defend the state or whatever.
But I really can't.
Dumbasses abound. The entire government of the state is a joke.
Top to bottom bullshit.
Think about it: The Spelling Bee makes it onto ESPN.
I actually watched it one time (Caught the end). And you know what? It was actually kind of compelling.
The chick that won that won got these easy ass words that I could spell (Anglophile, in the 23rd round? Wtf?) and the other kid got these crazy fucking words (Cortile. What the fuck?).
It was actually sort of interesting.
Now I don't think they pro-gaming will be huge or anything, but I think it will gain and maintain reasonable spectator numbers.
What really needs to happen is a game that captivates a large amount of people (Halo or GTA or something like that), that can also be spectator friendly.
Say in Halo 3 you can watch professional Halo matches over X-Box live.
Something like that, with a popular game and good spectator appeal could be pretty big.
Fuck pipes!
I want to play that maze screensaver!
Every single time that screensaver would come up I'd pretend like I was playing it.
It rocked. I won every time.
Similarly, last night I was in Wal Mart, perusing through their electronics section, and decided to get a good laugh by checking to see if they had the new Gang of Four CD.
Much to my surprise, they did, and since I'm a massive Gang of Four fan, I decided to purchase the album.
But I first decided to check who published it: V2 music, distributed by Sony/BMG.
Put it back on the shelf.
Needless to say, I'll still be listening to the music, but I won't be purchasing it.
And what's most ironic is that Gang of Four is (Obviously if you understand the name) rather anti-corporate and anti-capitalistic.
I just loved the irony of not purchasing a CD from a band that that was anti-consumeristic and anti-materialistic becaue of Sony's profiteering.
It seemed both fitting and a shame at the same time, because I would have liked to support them.
Perhaps I'll just buy their remastered albums off of Rhino...

My question about FairTax is this: If it's revenue neutral, how does the proportion change? Do the lower 50% pay more or less of the total cost?

That's not an 'orgy', that's underwear sex.
There's a huge difference. Or so I hear...
Seriously, this isn't with 3.6 mil, no way, no how. I mean, I could barely get off to it...
You can BUY porn? News to me.

Looks like I picked a hell of a thread to stop sniffing glue.
At first I thought parent was John Romero, but the writing convinced me that was none other than DEREK SMART!

In Slashdot, Soviet Russia makes jokes about you!

lol no this is not a virus.
In Soviet Texas you don't mess with trademarks, trademarks mess with YOU!
