I used to love taking a squad armed to the max with the latest in death dealing goodies, and wiping out everything that moved :)

Anyone remember the mission where you were supposed to assassinate a political figure, and he's giving a speech to a HUGE crowd?

Lets just say flame throwers were truly epic for that mission (evil grin).

I was shocked to see that Apple was shipping slow 5400 rpm drives on $2000+ computers. On a $500 beater, i understand the logic of cutting $10 off the build cost (and sacrificing 20% of the disk I/O performance) by using a 5400 rpm drive (vs a 7200) , but jesus Apple, you really must be trying to squeeze every last dollar for Jobs's coke habit these days to pull such a boner move.

When the fascists at the NSA and FBI started their massive domestic spying program (Echelon, Carnivore, etc), I decided to make their lives harder and run my own mail server. While they can still snoop on the big boys (yahoo, aol, msn, etc), at least email from my end is safe, and if I send emails to non US based mail servers over SSL, theres at least some chance the fascists cant read the traffic.
