  1. Thanks to the people who repeated what I said about 5 times. I think he would've gotten the point in the first post though.

    There is this crazy invention. I'm not sure that you've heard of it. It's this magical little device called the "X" button. If you button mash, you're going to get torn apart online(well not at the moment. There are still a bunch of button-mashing idiots on Xboxlive but they'll thin out once they find out that they suck at the game). You can button mash at any fighting game and win as long as you're playing with other noobs. And if you want to talk about button-mashing to the MAX, look at Soul Calibur. You're overrated :x If you lose to someone who button mashes in Soul Caliber 2, every credit you have as a gamer is gone, rofl.
  3. No. They make the graphics alike to Guild Wars / WoW and we'll have to pay triple or maybe more for the game. It's fine how it is now, I don't know why you guys want a brand new one. Want a game with graphics like that? Pay up and buy Guild Wars.
  4. Restart comp and try again. It used to tend to do that to me when I played after a while.
  5. Seinfeld, hands down. Friends would be a close runner up though. Oh wait, it's Tip It Boy Meets World would probably win it. Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. But Sitcoms would be a good field for a poll in my opinion; you don't have thousands of them which people know of, so it would be easier to come to a mutual decision in regards to the nominees (as opposed to actors and actresses). And, I would think that pretty much everyone has seen an episode of Seinfeld or Everybody Loves Raymond or whatever. Yeah. Too bad there are quite a few people who are elitist about sitcoms though. Not enough humour ftl.

  8. No. I have manly hair. Manly hair makes me manly. Manly men ftw. Gross. Hehe, jk :P Having a beard is like having a furry little animal that you can pet whenever you want. And it gives you something to play with when you're bored. There's a ton more reasons why beards rule but I'll stop so I don't make the hair impaired people jealous. Being unhairy means we don't have to shave every freakin morning. Good enough not to be jealous in my book :P
  9. No. I have manly hair. Manly hair makes me manly. Manly men ftw. Gross. Hehe, jk :P
  10. How many times do you want people to say their pet's names? It's not like people get a new pet weekly. :?
  11. Oh, I though a beard would make me close to looking sexy. :( Fixed. and I can't grow a beard or moustache for crap. Less-hairy people ftw?

    This game is overrated. The gameplay sucks and the only reason I love playing it is for fighting with the ladies 8)

    Last.fm - Keeps track of music you play. MP3search.ru - Really cheap and legal albums.
  16. I would go for Greatest Ever Modern Bands or Greatest Looking Actresses. I prefer the latter Duff < *
  17. Nothing, he's just kitty-hurt from TheTrueNoob's comment.

    Hot sauce on pizza makes everything better :) I'm not fond of spicy food that much though, was never used to it.
  19. I said Bush started Katrina now? What else did I say?
  20. Nice try. I'm not gonna take the bait though. I'm tired of arguing with you. Btw, I don't watch the Daily Show.
  21. Pretty blunt, but this can't be argued. This is definetly the meat and potatoes of the whole thing. That's if you want a shallow relationship that won't last. Sadly thats how most teenage girls are these days, and it may be why high school relationships never last. Stop with the [bleep]ing stereotypes already.
  22. ---------------- Create an e-annoyance, go to jail By Declan McCullagh http://news.com.com/Create+an+e-annoyan ... 22491.html Story last modified Mon Jan 09 04:00:00 PST 2006 Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime. It's no joke. Last Thursday, President Bush signed into law a prohibition on posting annoying Web messages or sending annoying e-mail messages without disclosing your true identity. In other words, it's OK to flame someone on a mailing list or in a blog as long as you do it under your real name. Thank Congress for small favors, I guess. This ridiculous prohibition, which would likely imperil much of Usenet, is buried in the so-called Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act. Criminal penalties include stiff fines and two years in prison. "The use of the word 'annoy' is particularly problematic," says Marv Johnson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "What's annoying to one person may not be annoying to someone else." It's illegal to annoy A new federal law states that when you annoy someone on the Internet, you must disclose your identity. Here's the relevant language. "Whoever...utilizes any device or software that can be used to originate telecommunications or other types of communications that are transmitted, in whole or in part, by the Internet... without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person...who receives the communications...shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both." Buried deep in the new law is Sec. 113, an innocuously titled bit called "Preventing Cyberstalking." It rewrites existing telephone harassment law to prohibit anyone from using the Internet "without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy." To grease the rails for this idea, Sen. Arlen Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican, and the section's other sponsors slipped it into an unrelated, must-pass bill to fund the Department of Justice. The plan: to make it politically infeasible for politicians to oppose the measure. The tactic worked. The bill cleared the House of Representatives by voice vote, and the Senate unanimously approved it Dec. 16. There's an interesting side note. An earlier version that the House approved in September had radically different wording. It was reasonable by comparison, and criminalized only using an "interactive computer service" to cause someone "substantial emotional harm." That kind of prohibition might make sense. But why should merely annoying someone be illegal? There are perfectly legitimate reasons to set up a Web site or write something incendiary without telling everyone exactly who you are. Think about it: A woman fired by a manager who demanded sexual favors wants to blog about it without divulging her full name. An aspiring pundit hopes to set up the next Suck.com. A frustrated citizen wants to send e-mail describing corruption in local government without worrying about reprisals. In each of those three cases, someone's probably going to be annoyed. That's enough to make the action a crime. (The Justice Department won't file charges in every case, of course, but trusting prosecutorial discretion is hardly reassuring.) Clinton Fein, a San Francisco resident who runs the Annoy.com site, says a feature permitting visitors to send obnoxious and profane postcards through e-mail could be imperiled. "Who decides what's annoying? That's the ultimate question," Fein said. He added: "If you send an annoying message via the United States Post Office, do you have to reveal your identity?" Fein once sued to overturn part of the Communications Decency Act that outlawed transmitting indecent material "with intent to annoy." But the courts ruled the law applied only to obscene material, so Annoy.com didn't have to worry. "I'm certainly not going to close the site down," Fein said on Friday. "I would fight it on First Amendment grounds." He's right. Our esteemed politicians can't seem to grasp this simple point, but the First Amendment protects our right to write something that annoys someone else. It even shields our right to do it anonymously. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas defended this principle magnificently in a 1995 case involving an Ohio woman who was punished for distributing anonymous political pamphlets. If President Bush truly believed in the principle of limited government (it is in his official bio), he'd realize that the law he signed cannot be squared with the Constitution he swore to uphold. And then he'd repeat what President Clinton did a decade ago when he felt compelled to sign a massive telecommunications law. Clinton realized that the section of the law punishing abortion-related material on the Internet was unconstitutional, and he directed the Justice Department not to enforce it. Bush has the chance to show his respect for what he calls Americans' personal freedoms. Now we'll see if the president rises to the occasion. Copyright ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâé1995-2006 CNET Networks, Inc.
