You're right, now instead of retarded and lying we have a president that's brilliant and lies.... Personally, I'll take the retard.

The main dev for AI War is the same way. He spends a lot of time answering questions and helping users on many different forums.

That's one thing when it's a freshman course. But when you get into upper level CS or ECE courses a laptop becomes almost essential. I took almost 200 pages of notes in OpenOffice last semester for just one class.

I grew up with a SNES and an N64. My first FPS was Goldeneye and I didn't start playing games on the PC until about 4 or 5 years ago. There are very few games I prefer a controller to a mouse and keyboard for.

Wow... so they pirated an overrated game with a terrible single player campaign that they can't play online. I wouldn't even waste the bandwidth...

I rarely play on a console unless I'm playing a game like Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 with a friend on splitscreen. I prefer PC's for online gaming and I avoid games populated almost entirely by 12-year old brats like COD (at least most teenagers can't afford a gaming PC). Some of my most memorable moments in gaming the past few years were in my friend's living room eating pizza, drinking vodka, and killing zombies. ("Hey, keep that fire away from my vodka!")

Sorry, only liberals race-bait.

> Sixty-one % of Americans don't know what an integral is. > Sixty-one % of Americans don't know the difference between a router and a switch. > Sixty-one % of Americans think "Internet Explorer" is the internet. Average Americans are too stupid to decide whether or not the "President" should have the right to have such a "kill switch"

I'm the only computer savvy person in my family atm. About a year ago I got a few copies of MS Office 2007 for free and installed them on 3 of our computers. I hated the new interface and only used it for a few specific situations. My mom and my sister couldn't figure it out and asked me to put 2003 back on there. I installed open-office and told them it was ppretty much the same thing.

Boy, that's funny. I've run into a grand total of 1 cheater ever in my 300 hours of TF2 on the PC, but my younger brother runs into an average of one hacker per match when he plays MW2 on the console...

I have over 100 hours into TF2 at this point and I'm a pretty good spy (the best regular on a couple servers). I just want to say that I doubt that buying the entire inventory of the store will make you much of a better player. Assuming the items are balanced, a crappy player is still a crappy player. I for one am planning on keeping my current spy loadout (though I may check out that new revolver when I get it in a drop). With item trading and random drops you can get whatever weapons you want for your primary class or two w/o too much trouble. The only thing I don't like is how total newbs can have 5 or 6 hats. Hats were originally a status symbol, because you could tell that a player had been around for a while if he had a decent hat for his primary class. On the bright side, trading will allow you to get the hats that you want easier...

Have I played C&C 3 on the Xbox? Sure and it felt like crap. Starcraft on the N64 was fun until I found out how much better it was on the PC. RTS's cannot be played nearly as easily without a mouse.

Is Starcraft 2 on your console? Did the Orange Box get any of the massive TF2 updates on console? Every platform has its exclusives. Fortunately, PC is where all the best FPS and RTS games land. Would I like to play some console exclusives? Sure, but not at the cost of the console + $60 a pop.

Some of the companies in the aircraft industry (at least here where I live) use OpenSUSE for their Linux clusters. I'm not sure if that's an overall standard or if the engineers just prefer SUSE.
