24 fixes for a game that's been out for over 2 years now and has had more patches than I count since the release? Maybe they should revisit their process for debugging games. With as much as they charge per game they might look into more QA people. Just my opinion.

That was a huge leap there. Not funny.

It really comes down to credibility. A company, with a known cult following of its game, should want to put out the most accurate release date. If a date is put out and something happens during Beta or Alpha testing, causing the release to pushed back, we'll understand. But to continuously set a release date and never meet it, tarnishes the companies credibility with its followers.

I'm good at catching things.

That isn't funny > How about Christmas 2010 packaged with the release of the PS4? ;D

Will we be able to use UF as the hub for all our strings? We'll need volunteer operators to help connect the correct strings. ;D

Sections D and E of the rules makes mention of other clan members being present. Section D: Section E: Is this a misprint or am I'm misreading this (completely possible too)? If not, can you explain what role the other clan members will play in a 1 vs 1 match?

So do we. All purchases made at a business are documented and registered with the ATF. There are waiting periods for these purchases as well. This allows a background check to be performed. As mentioned by pretty much every Pro 2nd Amendment post in here, we agree with you. There are some people out there that should not have guns simply because they don't possess the aptitude for properly handling a gun. But, they meet the current requirements for owning a gun legally and therefore are allowed to do so. Its an accident. If your stance is to remove an item from society because an accident occurred then lets start with drugs and alcohol. They are responsible for the happenings of more accidents than guns. I don't see anyone on here debating the systematic removal of either of them from our society. Next we should remove vehicles. More people are killed annually in car accidents that by guns. Lets get rid of them too. Most importantly we should get rid of people. People are the cause of the majority of all accidents. People who are high on drugs cause accidents. People who are drunk cause accidents. People who are driving cars cause accidents. And people who are carrying guns when they shouldn't be cause accidents. Why only get rid of the guns? They kill less people and are involved in less accidents annually than cars. So you're saying that every gun accident out there only happens to those without a gun license. You're wrong. Do you know what it takes to pass a background check for buying a gun? Here's a small list of criteria you must meet in the majority of states: 1.) Must not be a convicted Felon 2.) Must not have been convicted of Domestic Battery 3.) Must not have been treated for Mental Illness This criteria differs from state to state (obvious problem right there) but as long as you can say no to those questions you'll be approved for a gun license. How many people do you think may meet those requirements? Quite a few. But until the requirements are changed and made uniformed throughout the United States situations like this will continue to happen. There is no simple answer. But removing guns from our society will not solve anything.

That is your opinion. Its the opinion of the Supreme Court however, which was established by our Constitution, that the 2nd amendment is not outdated and in their opinion, it stands as true and just today as it did the day it was written. Their decision did not set us back 100 years. The right to bear arms does not set us back as a society. Social ignorance sets us back. The lack of true understanding of society and how it works is what sets us back. You are not mandated by any means to arm yourself. So feel free to live without guns or dangerous weapons. I hope you never have the need for them. Guns don't commit crimes. People do. People will commit the crimes with or without guns. To remove guns from our society would decrease the number of people shot during a crime. It WILL NOT reduce crime in our society. And whatever DANGEROUS weapon takes the place of the gun will become the next amendment for you and those like you to complain about. Where will it end? The systematic removal of Popsicle sticks from our society. If engineering students can build a weight bearing bridge out of them, imagine what types of dangerous weapons could be made as well. The last step on the Use of Force Chart is not shooting your gun. Its Deadly Force. This can be done without using your firearm. Whatever was last done to stop a situation is the last resort. Stopping a situation does not always involve the shooting of someone. Therefore shooting is not always the last resort. As a matter of fact shootings happens less than you would think in comparison with the other ways used to stop situations. Do you know why cops carry guns? Because criminals do. Do you know why criminals carry guns? To have the bigger stick. The bigger stick scares people and makes them comply more. Do you know why law abiding citizens carry guns? Because you cant have a cop with you every where you go. You cant have a cop at your house at night while you and your family are sleeping. Take away the guns and the criminals will find an alternate stick and they'll make sure that they always have the bigger stick. Removing guns from our society is not the answer.

Lets not turn this into a race thing. What?? You obviously are unaware that the majority of guns on the street are stolen guns taken from homes during burglaries. A crack dealer doesn't walk into their neighborhood gun dealer and legally buy a gun. Allowing people to arm themselves is not going to put more guns on the street. A criminal that believes you to be armed will second guess robbing you. UNLESS, you have what he wants. Then he doesn't care. It doesn't matter if you're armed or not. We live in a great country too. Please post the stats you're using for this statement. I would like to see where you're getting your information. You think that by removing guns from our society that there would be no more violent crimes? Interesting. Completely misguided though. Would you also have our military disarmed? You may not know this but quite a few of the weapons on the street today are old military issued weapons that were stolen by people driven by greed. So to follow your logic, we would need to disarm all of our military as well. Of course we couldn't do that because the 2nd amendment specifically speaks to that issue. SO that would allow guns to still exist. And as long as they exist the ability for them to be stolen exists. And if the ability for them to be stolen exists then the possibility of them winding up on the streets exist. You get the picture. We all know what happens next. The criminals have guns and the law biding citizens, including the police who have sworn to protect you, do not. You're comparing NUCLEAR BOMBS to guns now? Nuclear bombs are global. The 2nd amendment gun issue pertains to this country and those that live within its borders. Not a super power struggle between nations.

As a member of the Law Enforcement community I have to say, that while I see the logic behind your argument and I thank you for introducing the "OTHER SIDE", there are valid points to both sides of this discussion. I have to comment on the below two statements. Are there any other type than dangerous? Whether used for good or evil a weapon is dangerous. What matters is in what circumstances it is used. A woman being raped who kills her rapist with a knife kills him with a dangerous weapon, but we justify it. A rapist who kills his victim with a knife kills her with a dangerous weapon, but we convict him (hopefully and with great prejudice as well). The only true way to prohibit dangerous weapons would be to cease the manufacturing of weapons as we know them. I say as we know them because when we say weapons we think of things like guns, knives, bombs, etc. But I think we can all agree that we can make weapons out of anything. Our hands, our furniture, our vehicles, inmates can make weapons out of toothbrushes and rolled up paper that is soaked in water and then allowed to dry (when done correctly its as hard as a steel rod), hell if we were to get creative enough I bet we could make weapons out of the mouse and keyboard we're using right now. Since we obviously can not halt the making of weapons we need to create regulations for those who use them. While I agree with the 2nd amendment. I don't agree with just anyone being able to own a gun. I believe that anyone who owns a gun must pass a more rigorous test than a simple background check and waiting period. I believe that when someone, who is not properly trained (there's more to training than shooting it) to carry a gun, is confronted with a situation involving weapons, they may not cycle through their "toolbox" of choices before reverting to that final move of drawing their gun. And in doing so may do more harm than good. But since we cant stop those who want guns from getting guns, we're left with no choice but to allow those capable of defending themselves to do so. Will there be accidents? Yes. Will tragedy sometimes come from those accidents? Yes unfortunately. These are the same men who wrote the 1st amendment that gave us our "Freedom of Speech." As archaic as you may find the 2nd amendment and as hypocritical as you find the men who wrote it, they are our founding fathers and deserve respect. Until you find the "PERFECT" group of leaders who can and will propose a new way of life that removes all the bad from our society. I believe we will continue to fight for our rights as they are written in our Constitution. Of course as we do that there will no doubt be naysayers right there to continue the debates. Here's a saying I live by everyday: It's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court says Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting, the justices’ first major pronouncement on gun rights in U.S. history. The court’s 5-4 ruling strikes down the District of Columbia’s 32-year-old ban on handguns as incompatible with gun rights under the Second Amendment. The decision goes further than even the Bush administration wanted, but probably leaves most firearms laws intact. The court had not conclusively interpreted the Second Amendment since its ratification in 1791. The amendment reads: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.†The basic issue for the justices was whether the amendment protects an individual’s right to own guns no matter what, or whether that right is somehow tied to service in a state militia. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for four colleagues, said the Constitution does not permit “the absolute prohibition of handguns held and used for self-defense in the home.†In dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority “would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons.†He said such evidence “is nowhere to be found.â€

This goes beyond just wanting to make money. These people, these American financial companies, are openly doing business with groups who mean us harm. And in some cases are placing radical's in key positions within their companies. Just imagine how many businesses that we support daily without ever knowing that further down the line our money is being used to do business with those who want us dead. Here are the core values for Dow Jones as listed on their web site: Dow Jones & Company Core Values * Make it Personal - all commit to make DJ one of the world's most respected, admired and financially successful companies * Commit to the Virtuous Circle - excellent journalism, business and people are mutually reinforcing drivers of success * Live our values - quality, integrity and independence, everywhere and always * Build Value - for our customers, shareholders and employees * Constantly Innovate - content, products, technology and business processes; purposeful change and smart risk-taking * Build Top Talent - attract, develop, motivate and retain the best diverse talent; insist on teamwork; abhor silos * Get Results, Now - commit to action and results Reading this, one would think Dow Jones was truly an iconic business. American Capitalism at its finest. What little we as Americans really know. Where are the watch dog group's on this? Our borders and our ports are not the only routes available for Terrorists to attack us. Imagine how crippling it would be if our financial institutions were attacked? This country runs on credit. And its all kept track of on little computers that are always being hacked.

I ran across this story in one of our daily updated SITREP's. Guilty Knowledge "Leading Shariah authorities like Mufti Usmani, employed by Dow Jones and HSBC SCF funds, have called for violent jihad against the West." http://www.military.com/opinion/0,15202,170295,00.html?ESRC=opinions.RSS

I cant get the Quiz to load. This happen to me a couple of days ago too. Wondering if its my fabulously new Firefox.

Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... 1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before! 2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?' 3. 'Can you hear me NOW?' 4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' 5. 'You know, in Arkansas, we're now legally married.' 6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?' 7. 'You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out...' 8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!' 9. 'If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit! 10. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.' 11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?' 12. 'God, now I know why I am not gay.' 13 'How far up did you go? I now have a sore throat.' And the best one of all.. 14. 'Could you write a note to my wife saying that my head is not up there?

I got that same email. Only mine didn't come from the FBI. It came straight from the professor himself. I'm currently waiting on my money. not

This is the one I'm using and it looks pretty good. Its called NASA Night Launch. I also have a dark black one called Aquatinit Black Gloss. Looks good too.

OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT IT'S ILLEGAL!!! Huh? Hows that illegal? Passing on costs incurred to do business is part of running a business.

I dont think anyone disagrees with gas stations raising rates on credit card purchases. No one expects business owners to lose money on behalf of the consumers. The problem highlighted in the story was that many gas stations were doing this and not telling the consumer about it. Many gas stations were also adjusting, although many said it was accidental, their pumps to purposely give less than they were supposed to.

Which ISU would that be?

So I just downloaded this. Not bad. Transferring all my favorites from IE to bookmarks on Firefox was a little tedious. I have noticed that the white backgrounds have disappeared from your sigs. And I'm liking the automatic spell check on everything I write no matter what site I'm on. And now those sites with wide pages fits perfectly on my screen.

As a matter of fact he is. He's not throwing deep bombs yet but he'll get there.

My oldest boy currently throws the baseball and football both left and right handed. He's naturally a lefty. When he throws the football right handed, more times than not, he has absolute zero spin and gets more distance than left handed. I have no clue how he does it but I figure if he keeps it up coming up from under center he'll be able to roll to either side.
