If they come to us they will probably be peaceful and wise. If we come to them they will be primitive. But if we meet somewhere in the space that would be interesting. Maybe they will be imperialistic but most probably they will be explorers just like we are, at least for now.

How many times have i told you that that wasn't real.

Normally those people don't have real lives,the ones that manage to log in to the WoW and SL.

The man who has lost half of his teeth is 60 or something years old and in modern society rare are the people that don't lose teeth at all most of them get braces with new artificial teeth.

Last time I checked, "hardcore" didn't mean "plays games a lot"; it means that you don't spend all of your money on "pet games" and "style-games" and "generic sports games" and instead spend it on games that are, as the hardcores call them, "good". "Good" games include things like Smash Bros., Bio Shock, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda (especially Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess), and other games that require a lot of skill and time. Just because girls play a certain online game more than males means they're more "hardcore"? Did they take the "genre" of the game into account? No? Then how the crap does this pass as being scientific?

Maybe it should have been posted under Entertainment but who cares when the video & song are awesome.

If Intel can make that new technology for Apple don't you think they can't make better than that? And that it should be new single standard for all devices hardly cause new standard that i see in the future and that will be one and only for everything MUST be open by all means.

Well you then continue to use ur XP and have 1 antivirus for 1/4 the internet and another antivirus for 2/4 of the internet and then use some spyware removal program to take care of 3/4 internet and you are safe and when you spit all that money for antiviruses there goes Vista and spit money there and then comes out Win7 then again same thing and around and around we go or you will just buy Win7 cause Vista was such an epic win for M$.
