Circuit City closing
Yeah I swung through there today and I was not impressed. The good items were tagged at 10% off, and the place was packed. So you may save 5 bucks but is it really worth hanging out for 20 minutes in line? I didn't see the point.

Circuit City closing
I mean as much as I dislike circuit city as a store its too bad to see them go. At least they gave best buy (which also sucks) some competition. Rough times out there folks, best of luck to those who will be out of a job.

Steam scam
Wow, moral of the story is to never give up user/pw to anyone over an IM; this case is essentially the same thing given that he told you where to drop your info. Best of luck with Valve, I hope you can get your account back.

Help me choose!!
If you do get a PS3 the 80gig has backward compatibility support for some PS2 and PS1 games. There's quite a few cheap cool games for the PS2. If I had to pick I would go with the 360, titles are better overall, and you can wireless network your xbox to stream your divx movies on your widescreen TV from your computer- Huge bonus as far as I am concerned, but the PS3 may do this also I am not sure. The xbox does not come with a wireless adapter, so you would have to spring for that; whereas the PS3 has it built in. I guess it all depends on what you want to get out of it.

Left 4 Dead!
Wow, this game looks like it'll be a blast. I love the concept, too bad its only 4 players at a time.

Farcry 2
Its ok. Far Drive 2 is a fair name, but you can take buses that will speed it up. Its cool in that the world is more or less open, but it does have a console feel to it. I haven't spent that much time with it, but I imagine it will collect dust eventually, nothing spectacular.

hold on! JetBeach landing
By the way here's a real water landing, actually an over shoot into the water after going off the end of the runway- no one gets hurt. Look to the 4 minute mark. Caution mild language- couldn't find a censored version.

hold on! JetBeach landing
Actually transport category aircraft are very capable of turning quickly, just that its a good way to get fired as a pilot; paying passengers don't need to be feeling G's. It's going too slow to turn in that way though- way too many things wrong with this clip to take apart.

Where is Canada?
Im rooting for that guy from Togo who got his during white water rafting of all things.

We need more players
Lately I have fallen into the real life catagory, due to work and some other things I've been home a total of 4 days in the past month. I do have a few days I'll be back in a week or so, hope to get back on for a bit :cool:

Grand Theft Auto IV
Yeah I picked it up the other day, haven't really played it yet- only been home for one day out of the last two weeks and I'm out of town again :cool: But from what I've seen it will be a great game.

Selling WoW account
What kind of person buys these accounts? Also how much time does it take for account to be marketable? Sorry if these are stupid questions WOW is a mystery to me.

Selling WoW account
huh... even at so much money its not a good return on your time, but then again its not like I can get any money for the time I spend playing. If you can get someone to pay you 2 grand for that account more power to you.

People want to play.
24 is pretty much the standard max player count for qw servers. But yeah our server starts and keeps going without too much effort
-
We're doing ok. Top %35.
You see it turns into a chicken and the egg thing when it comes to community support. I mean there are a lot of guys on here myself included that came in to our community from the 2142 city server. If we could get a following there on qw the support would surely follow from the new blood that quake wars would bring into our community. But like you said its getting about as much support as it will ever get and I think you're right.
-
We're doing ok. Top %35.
The server lights off pretty easily but unfortunately there never seems to be more than 2-3 people on quake wars at a time. I really wish we could recreate a city maps style following there, but we simply don't have enough guys playing it.

RA3 anyone
I had to do a double take, I thought you were talking about the q3 mod Rocket Arena 3. Those were some good times, and I've never heard anyone so much as mention it in years.

Look at the pretty planes
Apaches can do loops and rolls: us18o7qOXjI Here's some stuff on what its like to fly with the Blue Angels http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/ajc/swf/blueangels/blueangels.swf I did some Aerobatic stuff a while ago, but it was not even close to an F/A 18. Even still the G loads were similar and anything up past 5Gs is NO joke. You will get owned if you are not prepared.

Torrents are bad...
I've never been able to pull that off, but then again I have Comcrap and they hose P2P with their illegal packet forging technique.
-
Torrents are bad...
You can't really do that with Bit Torrent, its not designed to allow leeching and work very well.

Yeah PG is the only way to go or you are sure to get stuff like that from your ISP. http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

omg Crude Oil $102.54
I think you are talking about an inelastic supply curve, similar to monopoly power.

sucks for the airlines, not cheap to run an airliner on gas like this.
