But then you could just buy a Nokia or Sony/Ericsson phone with just as many sweet features but without all the annoying DRM schemes and general Apple bastard idiocy Its like the iPod, you can find players just as good for half the price of an iPod but people are idiots who buy into the hype.

Its important for our undrstanding of what goes on in the world, to hear all viewpoints. Any rational human being should be able to figure out who is making sense and who is full of sh*t. I think it would have been very interesting to hear Ahmedinejad give his speech, kind of like the first time I watched a Hitlr speech with subtitles and went "Oh, so THATs what that evil bastard was yelling about"

Like paper towels?

The scalpers are abusing the system, and they deserve the harassement. I mean, is it really free market enterprise if you would buy all the toilet paper in Iowa and then offer it to people at twice the selling price?

Apple runs a strict monopoly and go absolutely ape when someones does something to their products that they cant control. If they had won the PC war, every single piece of computer hardware or software would be Apple. There would be no Dell, no Alienware, no Adobe, no GNU, no Linux.. nothing. Open source software would be criminal and the internet would be known as Applenet and it would be like a gigantic iTunes store

is it this one http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=6964 ? And since theyre made of metal, they shouldnt be immune... though they are increadibly heavy, but then again Magneto did throw like a SHIELD carrier once Wolverine wouldnt have much chanc though, he's more of a people person.

Although.. it would be alot more unpredictable to actually kill Darkside once and for all, while letting Barda survive all singl and stuff again WWH is uninteresting and pubescent at best. After Civil War it's like all the good writers went on a big holiday and let the interns roam free. She-Hulk: You shot my cousin into space you bastards! Ironman: Well, that would normally be something to complain about, but normal cousins does not throw a hissyfit and kill 200 people because the wrong team won the superbowl. She-Hulk: I dont care, it was wrong and Im going to help Hulk kick all you asses! Ironman. Aw shucks, I knew we should just have shot Bruce in the face when he was taking a dump... Kind of... except the last part... that was all me Civil War is the best crossover-party Marvel has ever thrown. The whole ethical and moral aspect might not be on par with less PG comics, but i liked it alot.

Phh, the old "sentient planet with a lantern ring" chestnut? We've seen it like a dozen times before. And it's not near as upsetting as Big Barda being killed

Quake 3 will also work

Ladis & Gentlemen, we are back once again to delve into the world of serialized entertainment. To start this off i hav two main issues: #1. World war Hulk sucks WWH is marvels next crossover-orgy, but unlike "Civil War" who was awesome in almost every aspect, WWH is a stinker thought up by a 10yearold with ADD. The story is that hulk gets shot into space to save mankind from his repetead destructiv tantrums, he lands on an alien planet, becomes a cosmic gladiator, marries a hot chick but then the wreck of th capsule he was shot into space with explodes(nobody thought it was a bad ida to leave a damaged quantum-fussion-reactor unattended in your back yard?) and kills everyone on the plant except Hulk and som of his gladiator buddies. So the hulk gets mad, dons an 80's-looking fantasy armour and heads back to earth to take revenge on EVERYONE. This is just daft. Whereas th moral an ethical aspects of "Civial war" really had some depth, WWH has the heroes choosing between the logical "we shot hulk into space to save lives, and it wasnt our fault his freaking spaceship exploded" and the moronic "It was mean to shoot him into space, so Im on his side". I got about 10 issues into th whole thing before the stupidity got to me and I took up reading DC comics.. which brings us to #2. DC might kill off Big Barda :'( DC comics will be releasing a new miniseries starting October entitled "Death of the new gods" in which they have confirmed that they will kill off every single character from the whole new genesis+apokalips thing, except ONE. This means Big Barda is now in mortal peril, as she has to compete with a lot of popular characters to remain in print So, those of you who are more familiar with the DC universe, who will be the last prson standing? Who is the most popular among the "new gods" thingie? How can DC survive without Barda!? edit: my "E" key is a bit wonky

The only guy I know who actually uses Vista and loves it, just switched to XP because of an accident(it crashed and refused to validate his serial when he tried to reinstall) and lo and behold.. today he tells me he noticed 7zip now takes only half the time to compress the same amount of data as with Vista. And he can finally watch videos without getting seasick from the lag. -And everything else goes faster too, its like; Woosh!! -I told you so. -Well yeah.. but.. I dont really need it to go that fast anyway. -Yes, you do. -No, I dont. -You totally do. -No, I dont and I also know which forums you frequent and if you write in any fo them about this Im going to kill you. -Phh, you know me. I would never make fun of my friends on public forums.

I believe what the goverment says, because they have no reason to lie to me

Im actually serious with my Fable and Molyneux slamming. Bad game, mediocre designer. Give me 10 million dollars, four years and a team the size of Lionheads and I promise you I could make a great game. Most people in my Uni come up with game designs every day that are much more interesting than anything Ive heard from "Peter Molyneux". Im just ticked off by the fact that someone like Molyneux gets so much praise, while more talented people are left in the cold. And Black&White? Mm... let's make an RTS with a built-in Tamagotchi! Yay!

In Sweden they're going to legislate that you will need a special drivers license to drive a moped. Gah. The goverment here really doesnt want anyone to drive any kind of vehicle ever. Soon they'll ban bicycles aswell

There are many escort quests, and what I was saying is that there are in fact only two types of quests 1) Escort 2) Seek and destroy. It gets repetitive very quickly once you realise youre doing the same thing over and over. Which is a testiment of Molenyux poor choices to spend more time making it possible for your character to chang apparance depending on your good/evil points, than to actually make a game thats fun to play. "But I liked Fable!!" -Yes, well, I cant help that you're an idiot with no taste.

Am I still a big-kahuna-whatever at that secret place thay none of us can be bothered to post at?

Peter Molyneux is a mediocre game designer at best, but through good PR he has managed to crate an image of himself as a gifted "auteur". Lionhead had this disgusting PR woman attend the confrence we held this summer and I swear she did not utter one sentence without mentioning Peter Molyneux. Fable is the essential Molyneux game, interesting at first glance but devoid of any real substance. Onc you get past changing haircuts, you're left with doing missions that only consist of escort NPC A to point B or go to point B and kill everything there over and over and over again. Yawn.

Globalisation in the Star Trek sense is inevitable, but it will take hundreds of years until the diffrent cultures we have today will absorb enough ideas and elements from eachother to become similar enough to get along. First comes McDonalds, then comes democracy p.s have the muslemists had an "Age of Reason/Enlightenment" or similar yet? I know the Turks had a little something going on for a while but the rest seem to still be partying like its 1299

Kaftan's wonderful Vista feature list: takes several minutes to bootup/reboot requires twice the memory of XP just to idle is incompatible with a wide range of proffessional applications makes compatible software run like **** Has more features than anyone would ever need or want Is realli pretty

In Sweden, immigrants have nothing to fear as long as they are white of a non-eastern-european origin. Canadians are welcome too

Earlir this week, I was inches away from selling my old laptop to a Mac-user. Sadly for him, some archeology student coughed up more money and as the man of bussiness that I am, I sold it to her instead

If you want to use a PC, you HAVE to learn how to handle your hardware and software. A computer is a tool, not a toy and its irresponsible to neglect learning to us it properly. With that said, I know Dantooine was a problem when it first was released aswell, so google will be full of old tips on how to solve it.

We dont really know what it is, we think its a driver issue but it doesnt work with any currently released ATI-Vista drivers. Other fun Vista perks: if you try to paint using a tablet in Photoshop, the brush will lag even on an Intel C2D 2gHz with 2gb of DDR2 RAM

I was just watching film at my friends place. It lags and stutters because of Vista cant handle older ATI cards

I do have one friend who loves Vista, and he knows more about computers than I do. He's a programmer so he doesnt use the computer for anything else than Visual Studio and watching films. I would think the computer compiles slower with Vista(as it renders 3D slower) but he claims it doesnt.
