I talked to the HP tech support guy trying to get some drivers for a computer I am working on. Let me put it this way….

It was like talking to a dumb monkey named Nicholas C. Id offer him a banana, if I didn’t think he’d only stick it up his nose five minutes later. <O:p></O:p>

Supreme Court resignation in as expected, but it's one of the moderates... and I just know Bush will nominate a radical right person. This will probably get ugly...

Some of you may have already seen the link over at Penny Arcade. Point is, this game is pretty frickin' addictive. As the maker describes it, it's somewhere between Lemmings and Incredible Machine. So, if you hate those kinds of games, stay away from this.

Yay!

Detailed, interesting read, go read it. ... and remember that the Cube also uses some form of IBM PowerPC CPU as well.

Maybe they look better up close, but from a distance... I know, I know, trees are hard because they aren't square and they have lots of small, branching parts. But those trees, honestly, don't look much better than the classic (and abymal) crossed-sprites tree...

looks cool. Not like the best game ever or something, but cool...

$400 to sell... do the math.

MS of course is also selling at a loss, but it's less than that (and the XB2 is probably going to launch at $300).

Basically, if you've seen the episode of Tom Goes to the Mayor involving "rebirthing", you'll be terrified to find out it's real.

It involves restricting movement of a kid that hasn't "bonded correctly" until they submit. This restriction could be done directly by holding them down, or by wrapping the child up very tightly in a blanket, supposed to simulate the womb. From what I can see, all it's doing is terrifying the child into submission. In what way is this different than rape? Not only that, but it has proven lethal far too often, with kids suffocating and the therapists ignoring cries for help.

Tests have never shown this method to be effective at all. From what I can tell, this is just socielly acceptible torture that is synonemous with rape.
