HP is still having capacitor issues. Mainly from heat, but I believe that formula was still being used for quite awhile.

Halo 3 - The Final Word 106
In anticipation of Halo 3's release later this month, EGM and the folks at 1up have been creating a veritable altar to the Halo deities over at the website. This edifice has tons of information on the two previous Halo games, commentary from numerous Halo-literate folks on the subject, as well as weightier articles like a preview of the co-op mode (four players, mind), a primer on the story if you've missed something, and a breakdown of the good and bad in Halo 3 . Yes, there are even some things they don't like about the game. From the co-op breakdown: "The Achievements offered tantalizing hints of the game's structure, features and techniques, a welcome morsel of information for the faithful to contemplate and speculate about. The co-op news was greeted with even more warmth, because it put to rest ill-founded rumors that Bungie was planning to deliver a half-completed game. On the contrary; up to four players will be able to take control of the Master Chief, the Arbiter and two Elite warriors, N'tho 'Sraom and Usze 'Taham. (Don't bother trying to pronounce their names; just appreciate the promise of joining up with three friends to conquer the game.) And somewhere in the middle, these two topics are connected by something even more intriguing. Halo's co-op game and its Gamerscore-grinding intersect at a point enigmatically referred to in the game's Achievements as the 'Meta-game.'"

It's been a long time since I wrote that. Almost a year. How time flies and how things change. I've been hired to a pretty cool job, IT Admin for a small auction company, my gun collection has grown by one gun (Bushmaster AR-15...sweet gun), and I've had and lost a girlfriend.
I can't believe I actually used winbloze and was semi serious when I did so (last journal). Please, ignore that and lets move on to bigger and better things. /. is the shit and we all know it. Freed

Howdy all. I've been scanning slashdot for awhile now, and I finally decided to register. Been using the rss feeder to mainly get my headlines. Anyway, today is my birthday.
I'm a 27 year old former active duty Marine. I'm currently in school to get my degree in networking technology. I have a vast love for computers and recently started using linux for most everyday computing and winbloze for games.
I love guns, and I've got a good collection going. I've got an SKS, Moisin Nagant, P11,
