Most of the countries on this planet hate and despise America. Don't fool yourself into thinking they don't. All of a sudden these countries cry when America is stingy with it's money in relief. I say it's time for other countries to take this up for a while. They should be thankful we offered anything. Clicky on this to see an un-offical poll (CNN) -- -- The United States will increase its aid pledge from $35 million to $350 million to help victims of the tsunamis in south Asia, CNN has learned. What's your opinion?

Did anyone read the "RISE OF EXEEM". P2P will be evolving again giving more headache to the MPAA and RIAA in trying to stop this. Looks like it's a no win situation for them. Soon as they chase after one form of downloading another one rears it head kind of like evolution. Is this worth the cost of Government agencies, MPAA and the RIAA? Where are they getting this money from to keep persuing this in legal costs and raids? Would that money spent be better served to lower the costs of the products that are being downloaded so people would not have the excuse of needing to download them because they can't afford them? It's kind of like the clothing black market. Sure, they make high profile busts from time to time that make it on the news for PR but is there really a dent being made into this. It's also like the so called "drug war". Drug war? What drug war? There's not a corner in NYC you can't go to that does not have a group of teens to young adults (mostly in residential areas) selling drugs. Again, the gov makes a few high profile busts that make it to the news for PR but are they really making a dent in the drug trade. I laugh I can honestly answer no to this. Believe me I see it every day. I think all this money could be spent in better ways. All they need to do is re-think everything that's being done.

Good article. Thanks for the link SC.

Why were men created before women? Because you always need to do a rough draft before you get it right. Ouch

Good question. I dunno guess you have to use your imagination that he was wiping everyone out off both sides of the screen. Well, either that, or he was just putting alot of holes in the side walls.

It's still in Beta but so far this looks pretty cool. Equilibrium mod Video clip

GameSpot: EA tries to revive DICE takeover. Electronic Arts today said that attempts to buy Digital Illusions CE, the Stockholm-based developer of the successful Battlefield franchise, are slowly moving toward a positive outcome. EA said it had picked up some important support among existing shareholders. The second largest DICE shareholder, Bonnier & Bonnier AB, has accepted EA's offer to acquire the developer, according to an EA statement.

Yup, looks like a kick a$$ movie. I just hope the part with marv smoking don't get the axe by those namby pamby liberal pot head cry baby nannies.

Electronic Arts buys stake in Ubisoft in "hostile" act. EA now owns almost 20 percent stake in competitor, says it intends to be "very good shareholders." Ubisoft sends mixed messages.

MC everyone and I hope SC was very good to you this year.

Probably something as simple as the mars winds. I use aircans to clean my computer all the time making wind a wonderful cleaning tool. If it's a down draft blowing on the rover, there would be little dust in it while blowing the dust off the rovers.

I'm not partial to using the integrated sound, video etc.. motherboards as primary equipment myself but it's nice to have them anyway just in case my plug-in peripherals crap out for whatever reason at least I have back up hardware to keep going until a replacement can be had.

OMFG!!! Duke has gone soft, mushy and gushy I can't take it!!! LOL

It's funny, I remember my first horror flick. A movie called 1972: MARK OF THE DEVIL. Me, my brother and a few of his older friends one of whom was 18 and the whole lot of us were able to see the movie because we were accompanied by a non-minor. I was 13 at the time. By the end of the movie we were all like "Holy crap ! That was awesome." I never suffered any nightmares or any ill effects. I, myself, thought the movie was fantastic. Showing human nature at it's most primal and what it was truly like during witch hunts. I, would say in my most humble opinion, even after seeing this movie, I still turned out to be a rather normal human being. "Mame, kill, destroy.. Gullummmm...", yes indeed I turned out okay "censors we hates you forever... forever... Gullummmm." Of course my sense of humor is a bit warped but that's not the fault of Horrors but british comedies . Seriously though, that movie didn't make me become evil, sadistic or a serial killer. It's just one of those things "I love really scary and gruesome horrors". My next most memorable movie was seeing "Alien" a week after it opened. Not even Mark of the devil scare the pants off of me like Alien did.

Imagine, if you will, spending one's hard earned money to go and see Lord Of the Rings only to find out that alot of the violent bits have been cut out (including the numerous times Frodo got stabbed) and that all magic refrences and uses had been cut out due to concerns of violence and religious sensibilities of some movie goers. Or one takes the wife or a girfriend to see a romantic chick flick and all you get is a few platonic meetings and a few pecks on the cheek and everything else has been edited (by the powers that be) to meet the need of some sexually sensitive movie goers. I'd say to all those "sensitive" movie goers "STAY HOME and just wait for the next pixar or disney flick!"

(CNN) -- Dogged by allegations that he pocketed oil money from Saddam Hussein's government, Benon Sevan, the former head of the United Nations oil-for-food program, insisted this week that he had done nothing wrong. -------------------------------------------------- Annan's son also eyed in probe Kojo Annan, the son of the U.N. secretary-general, has been the subject of accusations of wrongdoing in connection to the program. He says he had no involvement. (Full story) Annan, 31, who lives in Lagos, Nigeria, once worked for Cotecna, a Switzerland-based company hired by the United Nations in 1998 to verify paperwork on imports bought by Iraq. Critics have suggested the firm might have been favored in its U.N. bid because of the Annan family connection. Annan and Cotecna deny that. No formal charges of wrongdoing have been made against Kojo Annan. A group of U.S. Republican legislators has urged Kofi Annan to quit his U.N. post, but the Bush administration has expressed support in his leadership of the 191-nation body.

Never mind the article, why is that soldier walking in the sand unarmed in front of a moving tank!? Is he crazy!? Well, I'm assuming that the tank is moving with all the sand dust blowing around it. All it takes is one fall and he'll be roadkill. As for the tank, I think it looks like an Abrams.
