@ LC: You should consider The Burning Crusade expansion for WoW. You get two new races, a new profession and of course an entirely new continent.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I dont believe there are any 64-bit applications out yet for mainstream consumers. What that means, AFAIK, is you wont realize any performance gain but you will be future proof.

Well, if its to be set in DC, monument avoidance is impossible. The place is rife with them as I assume most country capitals are.

IIRC, a painful lesson was learned in naval warfare regarding the use of aluminum to build the superstructures of ships. A British warship was hit by an Exocet and the resultant fire proceded to melt large aluminum portions.

alanschu left? I guess hes not gone gone but he sure doesnt post with the frequency he used to.

Interesting. Its always rattled around in the back of my head, how do you "kill" whats magically animated? Like the old "cut off the evil hand and the evil hand comes after you".

Congrats Rosbjerg!

Hehe, were talking Yamato class here. Its freaking 11:52am and Im still not right. Man, Im getting old.

^So if you only chop off an arm or leg from the skelly it should "die" too?

I drank enough Jaeger last night to float a battleship. I feel like poo today. This morning Im pounding coffee in a failing attempt to stave off death.

Smokin' Aces Somewhat entertaining shoot-em-up.

^I always thought defragging a drive was basically reordering all the files contained therin to be streamlined and continuous. Are you saying it has something to do with the mechanical nature of todays HD's?

They probably mean the USB ports they put on the side edge of their larger monitors, which is genius IMO.

WooHoo, its Friday leading into a long weekend! Grilling, drinking and hanging out with friends is whats in store for me.

@ Tale: Thats an excellent point. I dont know, it just seemed so forced.

That threw me off too, "Get my father down here and if Im drunker then him you can fire me." WTF! The whole flash forward stunk of a dream sequence. I thought the epoisode was jusk ok. Charlie dying was stupid, he could have easily run to the other side of the door to close it instead of sealing himself in.

Huh, so if you open up on someone from point blank range with a .50 caliber machine gun they turn to goo. Good to know.

IMO, that casts too wide a net (see California). Not all "felonies" are created equally and what you wind up with many times is overkill. Oh, and you think there is a prison overpopulation problem now....

I love WoW. Still playing after 2+ years. Ive somehow managed to find a successful harmony between RL and WoW that sates my gaming thirst while not ignoring the family. However I could easily play 12h straight too if left to my own devices.

Actually, a no-longer-with-us poster named alanschu once provided a link that showed the recidivism rate of pedophiles was remakably low. That aside, while I support the death penalty, I think it is too harsh for a rape.

Conk = head or jewel satchel?

^Very cool.

A tube system just for bicycles! Im impressed.

Welcome.

Meh. And I say meh again. I thought the episode was pretty unspectacular. Granted, I was pretty jazzed to see the finale so I probably set myself up for disappointment but still. I am quite interested to see whos the real Big Bad Guy that Molly spoke of.
