  3. BuzzHumor: Star Trek, and the guy in the red shirt. The transporter segment is hilarious.
  4. Where is Frodo when you need him? Director Peter Jackson has been told he will not be hired to direct a movie based on JRR Tolkien novel The Hobbit, despite the nearly $US3 billion ($A3.9 billion) global box office success of his Lord of the Rings trilogy, according to a letter Jackson wrote to fan site TheOneRing.net. Oh boy
  5. I got the game yesterday and was playing all night. Wow, on medium detail and 1024x768 85hz rez and 5.1 audio just wow. There is a little screen lag but nothing to write home about. I like that you don't start out as a raving weakling either. They took into account the other two game experience. Still, it would be nice if games like this you could import your old character into it. However, I did kick the butt out of the first batch of orcs after the begining cut scene is over. Came away with some good plunder. The sword fighting isn't as dumbed down as I was led to believe. Movement keys sequence with left mouse button click does give one different attack swings much like in the other gothics but that auto target lock has to go. So far, no crashes or lockups as others seem to be complaining about. Gamespot doesn't have an in house review and reader reviews average out to 8.1. That's mostly where I read about some bugs and other issues. Haven't experienced it yet. There is already two patches but I haven't used any of them yet. Also, this game was designed with dual core in mind and 64bit. Here are some files on the game DVD: AMD_DualCore_Optimizer.exe amdcpusetup.exe DrvSetup_x64.exe Maybe after christmas I'll treat myself to dual core. I don't need to upgrade the mobo because it's dual core ready.

  7. To everyone. Hope you guys have a good family gathering and that the food is excellent.

After all, he was cuffed, so they should've been to able remove him quite easily without tasering. -v Well you would think that would work in a perfect world but don't believe the hype. I've seen perps still act like complete morons even cuffed. I'd say the best humane way of dealing with any unruly person is to tranq gun them. It's done all the time to other animals. They'd get a good sleep too.
  9. Same with mayor Bloomberg here in NYC. He says he a republican and he ran republican but I'd swear he's a democrat in disguise with his policies.
  10. WASHINGTON - Americans would have to sign up for a new military draft after turning 18 under a bill the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he will introduce next year. You get what you vote for.
  11. quote:Originally posted by $iLk: I applaud those turning around and selling them on eBay. It is *not* profiteering. I don't even believe in profiteering laws. I think you should be able to sell for what the market will bear. In any event, profiteering laws are meant to protect against charging insane prices for food/water/supplies during an emergency like a hurricane, war, etc. There is no danger in selling a PS3 for a gazillion dollars if there is only one left. look what this guy did http://cgi.ebay.com/PLAYSTATIONS-3-WITH-PL...1QQcmdZViewItem I was thinking of posting that in Laughter, The Best Medicine.
  12. quote:Originally posted by aramike: quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: I hope the republican party asks for all the money back they made available for his republican campaign. True dat. Unfortunately, however, it's called the "cost of doing business". The funny thing is, though, that this guy probably received hardly anything in the first place... Probably. I really didn't pay attention this time around where the parties dumped their money. Except for NY here and they didn't help at all.
  13. I hope the republican party asks for all the money back they made available for his republican campaign.
  14. HELENA, Mont. - A Montana state senator has officially changed his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, breaking a tie to give his new party a 26-24 advantage. ADVERTISEMENT State Sen. Sam Kitzenberg filed the paperwork at the secretary of state's office on Friday. He said he had been thinking about switching parties for about 12 years and made the decision at the suggestion of Democratic state Sen. Mike Cooney, who contacted him after the Nov. 7 election put both parties on an even footing. "He called and said 'Guess what? It's tied. I know you've mentioned changing parties in the past, and now is the time,'" Kitzenberg said. This should only be allowed pre election as Lieberman did.
  15. quote:Originally posted by Wolferz: Lady justice is blind. Especially when the guys who are sworn to uphold the law poke her eyes out. Typical It's not so much that it is blind but there is some pressure into getting that conviction that people are willing cross lines in order to do it even if that means breaking laws themselves. I think the system needs to change in this area in that in such cases the individual, who perpetrated the evidence wrong doing, should be held accountable only and not the government. Then these individuals will think twice about doing something like this ever again. At this point what do they care they walk away scott free while the tax payer is left with the lawsuit bill.
  16. Now it's gotten political. CNN: Wal-Mart accuses ex-senator of cutting in line for PS3 Will this insanity ever end.
  17. quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: You know, Ebay shouldn't allow that type of selling, when a new item, like a console, is JUST released, it should RESTRICT sale of that item for at least a month. That would discourage people from pulling this crap, but also make it a crime to do something like this so soon after the item was released. I agree. I'd also like to know who are these crazy people that buy this stuff for the thousands of dollars. Why? I keep asking myself. To be the first on the block with one? Insanity is what I call it. Also, don't forget that sony did go after people that were selling the japanese PSPs to the european market.
  18. I've seen interviews last night of people who've been waiting on a store line for days to be the first to get one. Most of them said they only going to sell it on ebay. I also heard on the news that on ebay japan the people trying to sell these PS3s are actually losing money. No one really wants it in japan I guess. They are probably waiting for Wii. Probably one of the biggest factors in the japanese arena is that the PS3 seems to be having trouble running the games from PS2 and PS1. I'm surprised that people here aren't going to be balking on the PS3.
  19. WASHINGTON - House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi faces a major leadership test Thursday, barely a week into her new role, as Democrats vote on her choice for majority leader. She's supporting a lawmaker once caught up in a bribery scandal and known more recently for trading votes for pork projects. Yeah, looks like big changes are in hand for this nation.
  20. The open source community is in a state of shock this morning at the news that Microsoft has released a version of popular browser Firefox. Microsoft Firefox offical web page Don't panic. It's a joke. A pretty good one too since it did scare the pants off of a lot of people.

  22. WASHINGTON (AFP) - From military strategy and human rights to labor standards and trade, China is expected to come under tighter scrutiny by the upcoming Democratic-controlled Congress. Democratic lawmakers have complained that the dependence of the Republican administration of President George W. Bush on Beijing to contain North Korea's nuclear ambitions has led to inevitable US compromises on the critical human rights and trade fronts. "I think the most noticeable impact of the Congressional elections is likely to be on US China policy," said Robert Hathaway of the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars. Evaluating the Republican Party's loss of control of the House of Representatives and Senate in last Tuesday's legislative elections, he said the Democrats were likely to pressure the Bush administration to be "more confrontational" with China on trade, human rights, religious freedom and Taiwan-related issues. Like what are they suppose to accomplish by this. What happened to the carrot is much better than a stick. I've seen the reports and specials about china for the past few years and China has seen an economic boom that it's never seen before. The cities are becoming fantastic and so are options for its people. Slowly and suredly they will become like us. No one said it was going to change fast. May even take a generation or so but it's happening. Here come the democrats who want to rock the boat and possibly go around ruining what's been accomplished so far by demanding quick results.
  23. Now some NY rinky Dink organization is trying to hold war crimes trials against Rumsfeld in Germany.
