Playstation 3 a bargain?
Mr SHodges, you are assuming that the next-gen gaming machines are primarily (or exclusively) for gaming, which isn't the case. They are convergence devices, meant to be the living room entertainment device (hence the large harddrive capacity for internet store purchases and free downloads, like the back catalogue), as well as a new player for the new 1080i (or 1080p, in the case of Blu-ray) storage standards. And I'd say that the PS2 must have had some potential, as it is still selling five years after launch, even though it is outclassed by the newer Xbox 360. Don't get me wrong, I think the new PS3 is yet to prove itself, but I think your sour grapes is prejudicing your opinion.

Army frowns on D&D
I think it's nice that the IDF have given teenagers an exit strategy: all they need do is declare their love for the LARP and they're home free ..!

NWN2: Discussion
Khelgar has the "knockdown" feat, too. I had the opponent supine nearly all of the time. He can't hit you if he's on the ground. ^_^

Splinter Cell games
I haven't played DA yet, but I agree with Jimmy about the first three. I'd play them in order. I haven't finished Chaos Theory yet, though, as the graphics demand was giving my laptop conniptions.

Of course it's a spoiler if she hasn't played it. Let's step through the logic: Darque hasn't played game, someone tells her something about the game, now the surprise (and possibly her enjoyment) is spoiled. Hence: spoiler.

Because you are arguing against shoddy argument style, not the particular subject.

Army frowns on D&D
I don't think he's talking about a political position, I think he was more thinking about being a dictator.

Shuffling off
lol The Irish weren't persecuted. At least, not in the common sense of the word. British yoke, indeed. I expect you're one of those people that sympathises with the IRA, right? Freedom fighters, not terrorists, eh? As a matter of historical fact, the Irish were treated far worse in the US than they were in their native Ireland. It is amazing to think that with all the persecuting us dastardly Brits were doing of the poor, down-trodden Irish people, that Ireland *still* managed to become the most densely populated country in Europe. Irish emigration <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure what dictionary you are using, so here's one for you: The Irish WERE persecuted, their land was confiscated and they suffered for their religion. From the primary school link you provided: From the wiki: What did Cromwell do? I'm glad you asked: Oh, and let's see those figures in context, shall we: And, just because the emigrants were treated poorly in Ireland doesn't preclude them being treated as bad or worse in the countries to where they emigrated. At no point did I sympathize with the IRA (nice deductive fallacy of the hasty generalization variety).

Teacher accuses 4-year-old of sexual harrasment
Is that because teachers are not allowed to LARP, but aides are?

It's a common technique, too, used in corporate culture (and schools, too) for teambuilding.

A New PC
All you can do is filter the air intake and keep a higher pressure inside the case (to prevent air coming in, except when it is sucked in where it is meant to be). You could move your PC to a clean room, and vacuum yourself every time you enter. )

KotOR 2 on Vista RC1
That is a completely irrelevant and incorrect comment.

I see it makes no distinction for the Irish, who have been a large emigrant population for centuries, thanks to the British yoke; I couldn't even guess at home many Irish settled in Australia and the USA to escape persecution.
