i'd hardly say it "fizzled" when there's a good chunk of upstate NY destroyed by this thing...

i kept expecting her to punch the reporter...

i once saw one of this with a V8... it was glorious...

my almost-2-year-old-sub-1k rig is Battlefield 3 ready (i was in the alpha)

Pc games don't look similar to console games because of a lack of optimization or hardware power... they look like console games because developers are happy to be mediocre and settle for the limited output that consoles provide them with rather than try to push the envelope with the advanced capabilities of PCs.

Happy birthday Linux... if it wasn't for you, we would havew forgotten how computers work and would be condemned to an eternity of clicking shiny icons and using computers like we're told to, not how we want to

if it makes you fell better i can tell all the west coasters that, being less than 30 years old and already lived through an 8,0 and 8,8) i laugh in the face of their silly 7,5s, and that i don't get out of bed for anything less than an 8...

we should start a pool about how much Apple's stock is gonna drop tomorrow...

have you been to the East Coast? there's a world of difference between how construction is done on a seismicly active area and elsewhere... on my first time in NYC i was amazed at how buildings rattled and shook when the subway passed under them...

living in Chile i understand what you mean... but i also have been to NYC, and the hostel i stayed at shook when the subway passed under it... so i'm guessing they are not really prepared for earthquakes, so even a small tremos must freak them out

as far as i know, best chance to get into one of those is going to a Con that has them

offer experiences that people can't get at home... Battletech pods, for example

wow, that is simply awesome... i've been contemplating buying a console (so far been a pure PC gamer my whole life), and this will help make that decission

VOTE: Prey

used it for the BF3 alpha... it's absolutely horrible... it will take years for it to be close to what Steam is now...

obtaining super user permission. since Android is based on linux, getting root allows you to do many cool things with it. It's similar to jailbreaking in iOS, only more powerful

that's pretty muchb a laundry list of all the things i've been wanting from the game... just when i think i'm out, they pull me back in :P

that would be pure win

I guess this is Apple realizing that Android tablets are gonna end up bigger than the ipad, just like Android Phones ended up bigger than the iPhone

Once the reality distortion field is gone, i can't see Apple doing very good... at the very least they won't be able to release minor upgrades to products and call them revolutionary...
