Let's all thank Roger Waters for his contribution to world peace!

Isn't that the event in the Tiger Ace campaign in CoH: Tales of Victory?

Bones??? That's on Thursday at 8 here, WTF is up with your local affiliate?

As a personal aside, you don't have to be actually picked on to believe you're being picked on. We have someone who works here with us, not from the US and speaks with an accent, who on multiple occasions has complained to higher-ups about being made fun of and such. The rest of us heard about this and stared at each other in disbelief...WE are the ones who work with him, and we KNOW we weren't doing that. So where does he get that idea??? We don't have a clue, but the truth is people don't need to have a legitimate grievance to act out to "defend themselves" against it if it's true in THEIR mind.

Friday at 9PM on Fox...opposite SGU, actually.

She looked great on Firefly/Serenity and on SG-1. It's not that I don't like short hair on some women, it can work for them. I just don't like the "skullcap" route.

Attempting to find reason in the mind of a lunatic is usually a fruitless exercise. Best to just euthanize them.

Did everyone forget the awe-inspiring Executive Decision with Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal??

TSCC basically started strong, petered out, then started getting better again just as the season ended...but too late to save it. Same thing happened with Enterprise. They took 3 years to get good, but by that time only the diehard Trekkies were still watching and it was lost. Dollhouse conversely started weak. I really was just watching it for the sake of seeing something the first couple of months it was on. Then as time passed it got better and I think S2 is tons better than S1, aside from the season 1 finale which was also quite good.

All I can think is..."Morena, what did you DO to your HAIR?!?!"

Yes. With 2 Firefly vets I kept looking for Joss Whedon's name in the credits... They made some interesting changes to the original concept, but overall I'll say the jury's still out on whether this will be good or not. I'll watch the eps that air this month and then I'll decide if I keep watching when they return in the spring post-Olympics.

Yes, and when you consider mods like ODS that basically give you a totally new game, with tons of planes and terrain and campaigns, is it really too much to ask for a few dollars? We're not saying any particular amount, but certainly if you took the time to DL and use it you can give something.

I must admit I have NEVER seen a claim before that the reason pilots walked away from a helo crash uninjured was their training. Unless it's an engine-out failure requiring auto-rotation, most helo crash survival is due more to the crashworthiness of the helo's cabin and its seat construction. If it was poor, the pilots would die. Period. Now the important point is if someone says something is "poor", they don't mean EVERY aspect must be poor. To be a poor helo doesn't mean it must have poor engines, a poor transmission, a poor cockpit, etc etc etc. Only one of those can be bad and it can ruin someone's perception. Don't ask me how many times I've heard someone tell me a PC is "totally broken" when all that's wrong is they can't get IE to run!! So you could have a problem with engine reliability, transmission, avionics, etc and still be very strong and survivable in a crash.

LOL, yeah, sure, I buy that... More like they weren't willing to spend more on a console port to up the detail level. This is another way of saying while it may rock on the 360, don't expect much on a PC beyond something that looks 2 years old!

LOL, I still have my 19" 5:4 monitor and don't foresee dumping it anytime soon. A bigger monitor is a luxury...TIR is a necessity if you're a cyber pilot!

Seeing as I have no taste for that kind of MP anymore, paying that much is ludicrous for the SP side. I still haven't bought CoD4 or WaW yet because I'm only interested in the (very short) SP side and anything over $25 is too much for less than 10 hours.

I've had my TIR 4 since right after its release and I can't fly without it. I still don't use it with racing or Arma just because I'm still not used to that, but for flying it's so natural...

Many Bothans died to bring us this information...

Well, 10 years ago I was quite happy with my FLCS/TQS/RCS setup! Sadly, I'm still using those same RCS today...

I played the L4D2 demo last night for the first time, and amazingly the multicore rendering = stuttering/lockups bug from L4D is still there?? Not that the game needs it to run fast and smooth, no idea what purpose it serves, but having it default to "on" always screws me up. That said, the new melee weapons are great--machete FTW!!--but I've yet to try the new grenades like boomer bile or the adrenaline. The new special infected are good, and the larger variety of weapons is also good. I'm awaiting the release in 2 weeks!

With the 'ween this weekend I didn't get a chance to look at my 2 sticks, but I can confirm that Cougar's hats/buttons/knobs/dials are all metal.

Well, to be fair the stresses and dangers of a short suborbital flight like that is nothing like an orbital insertion/reentry. I think SS2 won't break Mach 3, while orbital reentry is at Mach 12, or higher if you come back from the Moon or Mars.

Uh, does that mean however expensive I expect it to be, they're going to blow way past that??!?

The ` key cycles you thru different airfields when you're in RTB mode, not waypoints.

That's the problem...installing XP onto another partition with Vista already loaded on the PC generally leads to a dead Vista! There is a way to fix it, though, if you have the bootable Vista DVD (not everyone gets one with a new PC) by using the Windows RE Command Prompt and running bcdedit.exe /default id
