Definately stay away from HP. They have the highest rate of the error I previously mentioned. And their customer support sucks ass.

Try ebay. Look for laptops with broken monitors. If you find any with a screen flicker, no backlight error, buy it. That kind of error is caused by a single simple to replace chip. The reason people dump them is that the manufacturers charge over 600 dollars to replace a 20-50 dollar part. I've...

Well my story is simple. I played wasteland way back in the days of my youth on the C64. I had forgotten that game over the years. Anyways I was into PNP rpgs, including Rifts. Well one of the guys I played the game with told me about this interesting game he'd just picked up that was alot...

Sorry I was paraphrasing the definition from memory. Like I said I'll take my views on the attacks themselves to another thread when I have time to organize my thoughts into a coherent and intelligent manner. Thanks for the interest however.

Actually terrorism is any violent action against a non-military target in order to kill an demoralize the opposition. Most of what you stated counts in that definition. Though just scaring people doesn't count. Here's a quick question, who were worse the people who flew the planes into the...

I say support them, as in don't treat them like the vets of Vietnam were by this fucked up country. I am a soldier, I have been for 8 years. I say remember that people in the armed forces are not the war, we are people doing just what you said, a job. I never said crap about heroics, true...

Yes I was having a laugh, I know what was meant, but not said.

I just want to chime in. I don't like consoles overall. I've owned quite a few in my time and really, I play my original NES more than I play the X-Box any day. Then again, I like the handheld console market. The only place my PC can't go easilly. As for powersource issues, the original xbox...

Robo Santa, Wow man. That puts into words much of what I wanted to say. I have friends who have died over in both Iraq and Afganistan fighting these wars. What we have done as a nation is inexcuseable and would for any other country in the UN result in sanctions and war trials...

Sorry pet peave of mine there were no cannons in Lord of the rings IIRC. The idea of starting as something other than a mostly normal human doesn't seem right to me for Fallout either.

Woa there. I never said we've done what we set out to do. I didn't say we went about things the right way. I also didn't say we've succeeded in the least. I just said we were justified for going there. Mostly all we've done there is get rid of Al-Queda (mostly) and increase the heroin trade...

Guess since I'm a new entity on the boards I should post here to say hi. Now that that is over with glad to meet you all. Been lurking here for quite awhile now, and I'm impressed with this community, well mostly anyways. :) Just a warning I'm as opinionated and bull-headed as most...

I don't want fear from others. That's easy. I want them begging to kill themselves for me. Now that is power. I did horribly on my army psych eval, nearly cost me my top secret clearance :) Luckilly I was able to get re-evalled since my first psych eval was over 4 years old at the time.

First I just wanna say hello, new to the boards. Now to piss people off I'm sure :) We were justified in going into Afganistan. Plain and simple. Iraq is a good way for Bush and his buddies to make money. On to other countries. France and Germany both were against Iraq due to...

IIRC from basic training most hand to hand combat taught in the Army is worthless. Modern armies use guns, and we reflect that in our training overly much. The act of fighting without a weapon is antithema to most modern soldiers I'm afraid.
