    "There ARE people within a few miles of my house paying 25 thousand dollars a month in RENT"

  7. Re:Another movie slashvertisment on Raytheon Exoskeleton Brings "Iron Man" to Life · · Score: 1

    Good thing you are AC, because someone just said something really sto0pid. You think the movie studios are behind all these re-treaded tech news storeis? Maybe all these sites, /. included, are trying to cash in on something they everyone is buzzing about?

    The Iron Man movie was definitely worth my $10.

    The Matrix has you. There is no spoon. You think that's your free will?

  15. Re:Who cares? on African Americans and the Video Game Industry · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Most PC people would call me African-American. I'm an American. However, if I were pushed toward a label, I would prefer either Black or Afro-American. And technically, my skin ain't black. It's a light tan color. The funny thing is that most people think I'm Hispanic or Somoan. So, I guess my point is that people have to put labels on things to make sense of the world around them. In my youth and adult life, I have had friends of all races and nationalities. I don't refer to any of them by those names. They are just my friends. Thank you.
