http://www.msnbc.com/modules/interactive.a...id=attack&h=400 They call it "Accidents"...34% died from enemy fire. 53% to "accidents," and 11% to friendly fire. Let's just chalk up 64% to friendly fire...it's the same thing.

They were a lot better than they were in high school, I can tell you that! I probably got A's and B's, maybe C's. I don't think I got a C on a report card till I got to high school, but I could be wrong. Then again, Canadia has a different grading scale than here in the US, right?

Explain, why does it make you so happy? Has he harmed you personally? Please explain why you would personally receive so much joy if he were killed?

Beautifully written letter. I love it.

Yeah, ha ha, very funny. Shame on them for showing that they don't agree with this "totally awesome" war. Let's blow all those nay-sayers up! Heil Bush! Heil Bush!

I was wondering...is there a difference in performance when it comes to FAT32 and NTFS?

I was really happy that he picked Zora. They made a much better couple than him and Sarah did. Sarah was a b***h who obviously did care about the money (she talked about it *A LOT*). Sarah is the kind of girl who's super hot, so you'd love to have a fling with her, but at the end of the day you'd rather not come home to her, you know? They had their fling and obiviously Zora was the better girl to settle down with.

Thanks for all the tips. The setup I'm most likely going for is an A7N8X (Deluxe?) with 512MB PC3200 DDR and an XP 2200+. I think I'll get the mobo and 256MB memory and upgrade from there.

Quick question...will I be able to run my old 1Ghz Athlon T-Bird on the A7N8X until I get a faster processor?

We have an average of about 2ft here in southcentral PA. Woohoo, 4 day weekend! Work closed yesterday and today, and I was rescheduled off for tommorow. It's nuts!

That's what I figured. I remember vaguely hearing something about RAM only running as fast the slowest stick, so I thought I'd double check. And yes, there's now PC3000 (366Mhz), PC3200 (400Mhz), and PC3500 (433Mhz). The nFORCE2-based boards run at 400Mhz, if I recall correctly.

For the server, I might suggest you get two (or more) smaller drives instead of one big one, for better performance. Set up a RAID if your board can support it and you should get better performance. The harddrives always seem to bottleneck the speed. I would also get an Asus A7N8X mobo, the nFORCE2 chipset is the best chipset for the XP's.

Well, what I would most likely do is get the motherboard and a stick of 256MB DDR2700 from Crucial...it runs around $45 or so. It's CAS2.5. The Corsair would be CAS2, DDR3200. What I should have asked was, will this limit the performance of the DDR3200 if there's a DDR2700 present? I'd probably end up putting another 256MB of Corsair down the line.

Yeah, I have a GF4 Ti4200 64MB. I was thinking about going the motherboard + RAM route...Asus A7N8X + 256MB to start. I was going to go for the gold and get Corsair right away, but maybe I should get some cheaper stuff to start off, then get Corsair in the future. Will having slower memory mixed with faster memory result in a performance hit?

I'm fed up ! I can't stand to play BF1942 on certain maps anymore...it's way too slow. I can't use TeamSpeak because it kills my performance (and I probably average around 5FPS). I don't have enough money for my complete upgrade (mobo, memory, cpu), so I'm thinking if I could find the fastest processor that runs on my motherboard and if it's cheap, I'll get it. So if any of you guys (especially you AMD guys) know where I might come across an AMD Athlon T-Bird 1.4Ghz 200Mhz FSB CPU, let me know. I've checked pricewatch and there's only one site with it, and they want $130. No way. I have an Asus A7V (original).

Apparently assassination would be wrong, cause we don't believe in "one bullet diplomacy." Apparently we agree with the "turning the greater part of the country into a sandy parking lot" philosophy.

It's good that these protests have been making headlines, and so many people are coming out for them. I was at the one in DC on October 26th (or was it 23rd?) when it all began, and it was a beautiful thing to see so many people coming together for a good cause. And techguy, maybe you should think before you speak. You're obviously clueless. I think everyone would agree that Saddam is a horrible guy, but since when do we have the right to decide which leader is good and which is bad, and take them out of power through war? What about North Korea? Why perform diplomatic effects for them and not Iraq? And Iraq and N Korea teaming up? What the hell is this, a comic book? A bad B-movie? For f**ks sake, look at the facts before you open your mouth. We helped Iraq and back them in the 80s during their war with Iran. We are the only country to use nukes in an act of war. So you want this war, huh? Well, why don't you suit up and join the Army, and go over yourself. You seem to be one of the few, the proud, the clueless. Get your head out of your a** and look around you.

As an addon, I'd like to say that if you haven't read the IRC chat logs on the kid's webpage, don't. They'll depress the *f*ck* out of you.

Mental illness is a horrible problem, and the number of people it affects is astoinding. What's even more surprising is that a lot of people who suffer from it don't realize it, and don't seek proper treatment. Sometimes it's so bad that suicide is inevitible...they just feel that their life is so horrible that they'd be better off dead. I live all around it. When I was younger I had ODD (oppositional defiance disorder) and I'm pretty sure that at other points in my life I suffered from some form of depression. My girlfriend (whom I love more than anything, and live with) suffers from depression. I've seen almost everything, and the lowest of the lows is something you never want to experience. It's terrible. Mental illness is something that really needs to be studied and remedied. It's getting worse and worse. Just look at the world we live in...just thinking about how truely s***ty it is will get you down. Our children are being brought up in all of it and they're going to feel the effects. This Brandon kid is another casualty...it's too bad that's how he decided to end his life. Pretty morbid.

I was the one that said terrorism isn't going to go away anytime soon. But by saying that, I'm not saying that we're at CONSTANT threat of a terrorist attack. Sure, it could happen at any time, but should we constantly live our life in fear? Anytime you enter your car and get out onto the road, you are at risk of getting into a car accident. Does that mean you should stop driving your car? Every time you get near cigarette smoke and inhale, you're at risk to eventually develop lung cancer. Are you going to avoid all places where you might encounter smoke? Live your life the way you lived it pre-9/11. Despite what the media says, we're still living in the same world. As far as duct tape and people shopping at WalMart for that s***...just look at the kind of people who actually shop at Wal-Mart. I wouldn't pass them to be stocking up on that stuff...let's just say they're not the sharpest tools in the shed. And the ducttape/plastic thing is about as protective as getting under your desk in case of a nuclear attack. As far as protection goes, give me a gas mask and a gun and I'll be happy.

I've only heard short clips. If you ask me, it's just more propaganda. How convenient that he happens to be supporting Iraq! This is just like a bad movie with a poorly written script by the US Government. Voices can easily be faked. I say, show me the video! Why all of the sudden is Osama just making audio statements?

*NIX is obviously the most stable OS...but if you mean "most stable OS for home users," then XP definitely takes the cake. Well, tie between XP and 2K, but XP is more user friendly. My longest uninterrupted uptime was somewhere around 3wks, 3days

Terrorists will never go away. The war on terror is akin to the war on drugs...it's an invisible, neverending war. Terrorists will always be around. Now the question is, are we more at risk for terror attacks today than we were September 10, 2001? I don't think we are. The reason why it appears so is that now it's on the front page, right in front of our faces, on the tips of our tongues, constantly on our minds. If the media and government would have pulled this s*** 2 years ago as well, we'd be living our lives in fear just as we are today. Beware of the propaganda, beware of the wagging the dog.
