I guess that would be why it's a joke, not to be meant literally. It was a metaphor for other pursuits being out there combined with a play on words of your forum name.

True, I think the computer industry has been trying to drive up demand for new components by upping the specs needed to run new games. Their gamble has driven people to the consoles. Maybe that was their intention all along. It would seem console people buy more games than PC in a calendar year.

The bacteria that causes TB produces a mucoid layer that allows them to live inside White Blood Cells. That's why the immune system has such a hard time fighting it. Here's a thought: -Save "Cipro" and the other big guns just for this kind of illness. I had a patient last year that got Cipro for a bladder infection. I was like "What?! That's used to cure anthrax infection and they're giving it to you for a bladder infection?! Duh." -Second, take antibiotics away from farmers. They use them all the time and create superbugs in the process. The bacteria that can beat it are selected for and after being killed initially begin to thrive. -MD's need to stop giving antibiotics for viral infections. A differential white blood cell count, something that is rarely done in most GP's office can tell if there is an abnormal amount of lymphocytes or macrophages. Macrophages = Bacteria, Lymphocytes = Virus. Since antiobiotics don't work on viruses, a patient with increased lymphocytes only must go home and deal with it.

When I was in college we used to play each other online in Duke. Man, the bragging rights. My favorite kill was achieved by loading C4 into an elevator and waiting until someone called it down... I didn't know what pwnage was back then, but I guess you could say I pwned.

That does suck. But there are other igloos to build and whales to slay.

I beat the uber-leet level in 5 secs with no deaths. You have to type "notanoob" in the console to get it to that level. Travis don't try it or your computer will blow up.

Do you think that could have been the source of my connection issues with PB?

Gator you rock, that's a fact!

Start hoarding ammo, food, and water and thenmake your way to a mountain stronghold. Godspeed, my friend, Godspeed.

That's cuz you drive like a pissed-off teenager.

Yo since COD4 is giving me problems I'm exploring the idea of playing other games. How is Quake Wars (pros, cons)

Thanks for the advice I will try it tonight! I guess, I never realized that PB for 2142 ran in the background when wasn't being played. I'll let you know.

I think it's dumb that you have to type in console commands for it to work. How development saavy does the general public have to be to play this game? I still can't play on Punkbuster Servers. GG Infinity Ward.

I wonder if we're gonna have a single solution or if we're gonna have a bunch of different types of energy. I like how congress voted in new fuel efficiency standards to be put in place in 2020. Seems like they aren't really concerned about running out of oil anytime soon. Crap, by 2020 they better have 100mpg instead of the paltry 30mpg they have planned.

I wish my son could smoke pot so I could make $9,000. He's only 18 mo. (sigh) ...maybe someday.

Anyone care to explain this to the pop culturally impaired?

I wonder if the police officers had to surrender their socks and then dip them in axle grease for that to work?

Sweet thanks!

No doubt! Fill it 1/3 to 1/2 full of rum and then add coke for color. Then go sing karaoke or dance poorly.

No it's okay, they'll issue a patch in a few months to fix it.

Like a swat guy with a shotgun pointed at you isn't enough of a motivator to get on the ground.

I think it's cool that such a problem is named after a processed meat product that also sucks.

I don't think that's dumb. It looks trashy to have them up after the holidays. There are people where I live that keep them up year round.

I hear this argument in it's various forms many times a month. Geneticists love to pretend that things are all hardwired, that our lifestyle has no effect on us. In humans this is especially dangerous because of the huge increase in lifestyle-related disease in the last 30 years. FYI, our genome hasn't changed appreciably in 30,000 years. This anomaly that they produced in the lab would last about 5 minutes in the wild. It would be immediately returned to the normal state of affairs. Mice are a food source for cats, it they don't run or hide, they go extinct. The mice that run and hide survive. Genetics in the lab doesn't equate to genetics in real life. A better question from all this would be, "Why do scientists always feel that they have to decide between Nature or Nurture? Why are they completely unable to understand that both have an effect on an organism and species' survival?"

OUCH! Start selling plasma and semen dude. You're gonna need the green!
