I can't put my finger on the difference, but it is significant. Every game has it's share if immature idiots and jerks. When you have 7 Million players (and that's the latest set of numbers I've seen), even a small percentage of total players ends up as a LOT of people number-wise. I let my 11
Then we wont have to worry about our color of kin! Should I worry about the color of my kin? See, my daughter just found a jar of purple finger paint and has coated herself in it.
Yeah, that Leroy Jenkins video was a trip. Sadly, it's made my oldest son keep saying "Go for it, Dad! Pull a Leroy!" when I'm in the same room. Too bad my cable provider hasn't managed to keep up the equipment that supports my neighbourhood. So, an extra connection added ... and the signal strength is too low for the modem or converter box to connect. Sheesh. Oh, w
I liked it. I was a little distracted (playing WoW as a healer in a group can do that to ya) but I loved it. It's definitely going to be staying on the TiVo list.
To address the other issue that Mr. Conners brings up - accountability of the individual vote in an electronic machine. I agree that something should be in place to reconstruct votes in the case that something catastrophic happens. A small printout at the time of voting to give to the voter to turn in to a SEPERATE, LOCKED box only to be used in a catastrophic breakdown of the system. Additionally, a printer, that prints a continous output of all votes cast on that machine, in a locke
My position in this debate is this: a state issued picture id should be required to obtain the ballot or access to a voting machine. This state issued id could be a drivers license or a non-drivers ID. Now, how does this get around the "OMG! They'll know how I voted!!" question? Easy. The table where they verify that you are a registered voter and you are who you say you are is away from the voting machines. Easy enough. In Virginia, it's real simple. You show up at the
If what's described there are the sum total of the methods used ... then every leader in the US Army, Navy, Marine Corp and Air Force is guilty of war crimes - even if they've never fired a shot in anger. Hell, I went through more than that in high school! Sheesh. Now are the teachers and staff at Prince George County High School (in VA) war criminals? No. Despite what some of the student body thinks. <img src="../images/smiles/bigsmile.g
The only difference is, the trial version doesn't allow you to write blog entries. The other RSS Reader functions are all there and work.
My wife hit on a thought last night that bears on this. She was thinking, since only 1 person ends up the survivor, it's could very well show that it doesn't matter the race if you're trying to survive. Or something like that. It actually made sense when she said it ... I can see this as an attempt to show that race doesn't matter to when, but I can also see (foretell?) th
I have a few shows that I really love, but I never watch them on TV, just DVD. I'm too busy to be sucked into a set schedule of having to watch said show at said time . . . TiVo is your friend. You will be assimilated. Seriously, other than sports events (and most of the time, not even those), we v
My wife, in remembrance of the anniversary of the attacks on New York, DC, and the crash in the fields of Pennsylvania, wrote this and emailed it out: -------------------------------------------- I shared this on an e-mail list this morning and I thought that each of you might appreciate reading it as well: My phone rang that morning shortl
Yeah, Tidewater got nailed, and nailed good. Watching the news last night, the pictures they were showing of areas that aren't normally badly affected, were flooded and bad. I spent the week out in Arizona on business. I knew going out that Ernesto would be wandering into the area about the time I was supposed to be flying back in. As it was, I got stuck in Atlanta's Hartsfield for several extra hours due to the rain going through Richmo
It's one of the few chick flicks I really enjoy. I have it and the soundtrack, both. When I bought them, it made my wife question my heterosexuality.+LOL+ Hehe. That's one that I got away with ... My wife is a music nut, so picking up the soundtrack and video

Our local nutcase is at it again. Rambling away about how it's all Bush's fault that the Gulf Coast region so devestated by Hurricane Katrina, almost exactly a year ago, still hasn't been 100% rebuilt. Sad, but true. What he fails to realize ... well, let's just say that Stardock doesn't have enough room in the database server that houses JU for what the
Hmmmm.... I'm a cynical pessismist. Not only do I think things are going to go badly, I KNOW they're going to go badly ... Optimism/pessimism is just the way that you look at life. With enough effort (or some really good pharmacuticals), almost any aspect of your personality can be modified. The level of effort involved can vary, though. Is it worth the effort?
Boy, you can whip out those insults when you want to! I've had lots of practice. The Repubs are just the ones that get mentioned here. As for the Tourons ... I wish I could take credit for that one. Sadly, I fi
... No, but gas prices are. At least, in the places that aren't - a) tourist traps or b) where I don't visit ... :D Seriously, in the last two weeks, I've noticed a trend in gas prices. They're actually falling. Now, they aren't back down to where they were a year ago, but they're getting closer. In Williamsburg, near my house, the gas stati
Hmm.... How do we split things? That's ... hard to say. Cooking? Me about 95% of the time (I'm better at it and I love to cook and it relaxes me after a long day at the office). Cleaning? The slave labor, er uhm, the kids, do a lot of the straightening up, dishes, vacuuming and laundry (except folding the clothes, we do that part). They make 90% of the mess, so it's fair that they help clean up 90% of the mess... <img src=".
Sounds like someone is getting ready for the dating years. Most definitely. The knife and shotgun are for if the poor schmuck survives her three (very protective) older brothers. To actually say something on topic (for a change) - The gentleman in question is just a little creepy. Whether or not
AIPAC republican in democrat clothing lieberman So, a moderate Democrat (at least when compared to the more vocal/visible portion of the party), is just a Republican in Democrats clothing? It must feel strange, and lonely, to be so far out in left field that anything CLOSE to the center looks like
I, for one, find the entire child pageant idea rather ... distasteful. I know my little girl is going to grow up, soon enough. I'd rather keep her sweet and innocent as long as I can. For her sake, if not the sake of my sanity. But, I've been accused of being a little over protective where my kids are concerned. *wanders off to get his shotgun, cleaning supplies, hunting knife and whetstone and oil* I'll be out on the front porch,
CM you would just love that wouldn't you!LOL! Well, yes. That's a given. I *am* male, after all. That and I do have an appreciation for the finer things in life. And the beauty that has been placed among us in the form of female humanity (in all its s
We women can't unless it's in a strip club or at a nudist colony! Sure ya can! In fact, we would really appreciate it if more of you did! Seriously, y'all can do it, too. Most women are just a little too self-co
Let's see ... we've been together for almost 15 years now and married for almost 12. Sometimes it feels like it CAN'T be that long but on other days ... She completes me so well, it feels like she's always been there.
