I'll post links to my desk, but I'll take pictures of my actual setup when I get home. This is the base desk, but I've added some extra accessories to it.

I think it looks fantastic. Epecially the coasters. They did a great job bringing them to life in 3D. Going over the list of new features, I was really exicted about several of them. Finally a day/night cycle too. If this one is half as addictive as the original, it'll sell like hotcakes.
Not my teacher. Ah yes, Miss Benson. I remember her well. Incredibly hot. 5'7", 120lbs, black hair, tan as hell. Almost exotic looking, but mostly hispanic. Man did she have a large chest too. My senior year could never be topped. I had late arrival, two periods of early release, played golf...
If I could make that thing head our way I would, it's too bad you guys had to get two large hurricanes back to back. Florida is like our little pinball flipper, keeping the big bad hurricanes off our coast. I wish you guys the best of luck, and our prayers are with you.
After watching the procducer walkthrough movie on Fileplanet, I'm definitely getting the game. It looks simply fantastic, with some amazing advances in AI and human connection.

By default they are set very low for broadband connections. I would have a latency under 50, and still be getting heavy lag. By using netgraph 3 I noticed I had a lot of choke. Sometimes up to 80 or...
Is the mod going to have gameplay similar to GTA or are you just trying to recreate GTA on Source? I would imagine that you'd run into some copyright issues if you're trying to port GTA to Source.
They even made a CSI episode about this. Some diver was found in a tree with all his gear. The speculated that he was "firediving" and was scooped up by one of the buckets. Turns out that wasn't the case at all. Good episode though.
No one noticed here, because this is a HL2 forum. I'm excited about Sims 2. Plenty of other people are excited as well. I would expect Sims 2 to once again be the best selling game of all time. Even Half-Life can't compare to the number of Sims games sold.
I don't believe Rakurai's arguements are utter crap. I completely agree that a either a flat tax, or a federal sales tax would be a better system of collecting government money. From what I've seen, a lot of people in this thread feel that the more money you make, the more taxes you should pay...
How so?
The way tax brackets are setup now, the wealthier you are the more taxes you pay. Bush is in favor of giving tax breaks to the wealthy and to small busniess owners. I'm all in favor of this. Everyone's tax responsibility should be equal in my opinion.

How do you guys feel about taxation here in the US? Are you in favor or tax cuts for the wealthy? Do you feel the wealthy should have higher taxes? Or do you think a flat tax would be best suited? Personally I think there ought to be just a single flat tax, or even better a national...
