    What to upgrade?

    I would sub in a ATI Radeon 4850 graphics card. Really good bang for the buck. If you shop around, I've seen the 4850 around $115 including shipping, which is a smoking deal. The link below was the best price I could find on newegg. ATI Radeon 4850 Video Card for $130 after rebate

    QuakeLive Beta Signups

    Sounds awesome. Two questions: 1) Are you required to install a local client? 2) What's the load time for the game in the browser?

    GM to go bankrupt by early 2009, Ford by 2010, ask for $25 Billion bailout

    I've heard people say GM cars have made dramatic leaps in the quality of the cars they are producing now. That may be the case, but I've been screwed by a crappy GM car before, and won't be going back. Really, its a miracle that GM is still in business. I guess people haven't realized a good...

    Obama a Threat to Gun Owners

    2nd Amendment of the Constitution ring a bell? Considering Congress has only been able to pass a federal budget (not a continuing resolution budget) for 1 out of the past 4 years, I highly doubt Congress would change a constitutional amendment (which requires a 2/3 majority from Congress and...

    USA Wake Up

    Isn't there a crazy person that still comes to this forum and post random crap like this? It's amazing crap like that website gets posted yet McCain has gone on the record stating that he believes racists make up less than .56% of the United States Population.

    Colorado redefiing "personhood" to start at moment of conception

    Extremists =/= Mainstream If Christians were all this way, this measure would have past long ago. In fact, abortion would not have been made legal. http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_prac2.htm

    Obama Admits He Carefully Chose Marxist Professors as Friends

    I'd be interested in what your job is and your annual salary is. Your talk about taxes indicate you have serious money floating around if you are even remotely worried about estate taxes even with democrats. I believe that Obama's tax policies will do nothing more than removing Bush's tax cuts...

    What economist think of Cockbama and Mccain

    Democratic =/= Socialist I generally believe competition is good when you cut out the douche bag factor.

    What economist think of Cockbama and Mccain

    Perhaps you should possibly consider why an economist would have leanings towards democratic thoughts towards the economy. I personally lean towards free market ideology, but such an ideology has serious shortcomings in reality (as demonstrated by the current economic crisis).

    Neo-Nazis arrested planning to assassinate Obama

    Sounds like a good plot for a Rainbow 6 game. Pretty sure those actions are not going to be sanctioned by the Republican Party. Just a hunch though. When will people realize that crazy people are crazy. They usually do not represent people who you disagree with.

    Anti-Americanism everywhere?

    I think the majority of the people forget (or don't know) how the political system in US works. Regardless of what people think, the American public really has little control how politicians run the county. Additionally, the politics in the US was designed from the get go to restrict how...

    How do you guys feel about alienware?

    Just keep in mind that all computer hardware has a tendency for it to break. Depending on what you get and how you use it, the failure rate can be between 10% (desktop with minimal usage) to 45% (notebook used for frequent travel) after three years. So paying top dollar for a computer may do...

    House rejects 700B bailout plan

    I've personally thought that this scenario with the credit crisis has been more about perception of doom and gloom than people actually experiencing it. Case in point, the Dow Jones lost 777 points yesterday, but gained 485 points today. The market isn't reacting to actual problems with the...

    House rejects 700B bailout plan

    I think that some people don't quite realize that the US government can turn a profit on this program if it is well written and executed. The ability for the US government to turn a profit is based upon the economy turning around and quirks in US external financial reporting. So really, this...

    Two new DNF screens

    Does it mean I am an old school gamer if I prefer the 1999/2001 version? I like shiny object as much as the next person...but those screenshots in the first post are over the top. Those octabrains look like they were buffed and polished before deciding to attack the Hoover Dam. It must be...

    House rejects 700B bailout plan

    The saying "Cut off your nose to spite your face" comes to mine, though it isn't entirely explain my feelings. Why should I give other people a tremendous second break if I don't get one? If this passes, do I get a jail out of free card to commit corporate fraud or some other white collar...

    No Gears 2 on PC - Blame the pirates!

    Who care who is to blame? It really boils down that publishers and developers don't believe they can sell enough copies on the PC to justify the costs. Which sucks because I prefer gaming on a PC.

    House rejects 700B bailout plan

    A few fatcats? In my opinion a large portion of the US economy had this coming. Really who do you think should be at fault in this situation: 1) Person buying a house that knew they couldn't afford that home. This person literally went from paying rent of 900 USD to 2,800 USD a month...

    Two new DNF screens

    Its Doom 3 with the color white added to it. Hell, they should've licensed the Doom 3 engine years ago so we could be complaining/praising Duke 4. (is Duke 4 the official name by the way?) I expected nothing short of a revelation from this game. These screenshots disappoint. Back to the...
