Vista gaming will be 10 to 15% slower than XP
How exactly did Microsoft alter read only media to be uninstallable? Or did you have to validate it online? Also, what version of Microsoft Works was it? I didn't know they still made Microsoft Works, but rather referred to it as Microsoft Office.

Iraq death toll
Not really, because it seems as though we aren't talking about the same thing. I'm not talking about the "Iraq Body Count" website or whatever, but rather your comment about: "And since they only count bodies (how stupid is that)" Given the bouncing around between capitalization of "Iraq Body Count" being referred to as "Iraq body count," I'm not really sure when people are talking about the website or if they are talking about the actual body count of Iraqi people. I would never dispute that Iraq Body Count could be wrong. I was curious why counting the number of dead bodies is a "stupid" form of assessing casualties. I know it wouldn't be accurate, but at least it wouldn't be purely guessing.

Medieval: Total War II
No need for an expansion to do that. Now, if they included the rest of the world in an expansion, I'd be able to go discovering, Portugal style. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I had heard that the expansion will cover it much more in depth, and be the focus of the game. The new world part of MTW2 is pretty small.

Deus Ex
I remember one time on a mission, I had hid all the people I knoced out uber good. Then all of a sudden while I'm sneaking, "You set of the alarm!" What the heck? Then I found all that AI guards don't really check areas you've been through, just that at a certain mission point the computer kind of scans the area. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, the first two were bad for that. If you didn't hide someone in a completely hidden place, when you crossed over a magical line, they body would be discovered. They got rid of this problem in the 3rd one.

Iraq death toll
You didn't really clarify things. What exactly is the body count? It seems to me to be counting the number of people that have died. But you say that it doesn't count the number of people that have died. So what exactly does the body count count (and please don't say bodies).

NHL
To be fair, I think the PK was putting itself in a position to fail. Two 5 on 3s against a team I expect to have a fantastic powerplay, it's not really surprising that 3 of their goals were on the PP. And Gionta's game makes it what, 3 natural hat tricks in a single evening of hockey. Two in one game, and one in 2 minutes!

My roommate has Ryan Smyth and Peter Sykora. At least Hemsky scored. Gionta also got a hat trick. And Manny get the W in OT!

Iraq death toll
Err, I am kind of confused, but how else do you determine the number of people dead, if counting the number of people that have died is "stupid." It's a lower estimate (since people have probably died that you didn't see), but anything higher than that is just guessing.

Some people were trying to tell me on Hockey's Future that Ryan Smyth isn't a #1 LW.

I've heard that the expansion for MTW2 will be about discovering the New World.

Deus Ex
Is it even hand-eye coordination??? I mean, I know I can take things for granted. I used to be (and can still be) really bad for explaining how to do something to a computer user, because I'd use common computer terms, and just the fact that my expertise with them puts me at a leg up compared to many people. But I really can't see how it's not working.... She should make a video or something to show us what she is doing, because the answer seems so obvious to me that I can't imagine how it doesn't work.

I decided he was a basketcase when he started singing that "I'm so Ronrey" song.

And so it has begun..
Why couldn't they just be put up by some random joe? Unless you're thinkinging EB employees, not Ebay employees. While the guy is complaining because EB Games/Gamestop employees don't have to wait in line, what EB/Gamestop did is hardly unique, nor do I really mind that the store wants their employees to be able to get one. Sounds a bit like sour grapes to that Kotaku writer. As for his suspicions about the evil EB Games people buying it and selling it, I guarantee that if I could get a copy of that console I'd sell it on EBay too.

Oh baby, Nik Lidstrom with 3 assists, +3, and 2 PPP! Only other player in action for me is JayBo, who was +1 and had 4 PIM. I'm thinking on trading him in for Carle, a he's a dman on a much more potent offensive team. Oh wait, Niittymaki was playing too. Solid numbers in a losing effort.

Deus Ex
Errrr....I don't know what to say. It's literally equip them (so you see them in your hands), walk up to the box so that it's highlighted, and click your mouse button (assuming you didn't change mouse1 to anything else). Then proceed to watching the lock percentage decrease.

Pictures of your Games: Revolutions
My inventory bar doesn't stretch all the way across the screen like that. Is this a different version or are youy playing at a low resolution. FYI you can change the hud colors. I think that defaukt color scheme is hideous. I usually go with starlight or nigh vision. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The inventory doesn't scale 100% with resolution. I know at 1024x768 it would stretch the entire bottom of the screen.

Equip them and then "attack" with them.

What are you playing now?
I didn't care much for the NPCs in BG1, but in BG2 I preferred Jahiera and Imoen.

US Aid
You stated straight up that "US involvement in WWII establishing that the US was not a proactive participant (Many contries were conquered while we stood by)" By stating that they weren't proactive, it gives the implication that they weren't being active in dealing with the situation. Or in other words, that they were being passive.
