Looks pretty good. Kind of pisses me off though that they announced this just days after I received my brand new Dell Laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate. I think they should at least cut guys like me a break and give a 75% discount to upgrade from Vista or something. Of course, it could be said this should be a standard SP for Vista anyway and not a whole new release. All that aside, I am pretty stoked about it, it looks like all the kinks are, or will be, worked out from their flawed Vista release (although it ain't that bad to me). Anyhow, here the thread for it. Left some links for you all to get educated about it right here as well.

Why do you hate Friefox so much Rob? Did it touch you when you were a child?

I'm thinking the only actual good thing is it will reviatlize the Conservatives and will therefor hopefully snowball into a great conservative uprising in four years. Screw Republicans, screw Democrats, I just want us conservatives to take things back and get things in shape.

BTW Juno was HOT!!!

 

I think someone needed to introduce her to a buffett.

Just finished this yesterday. Long story short, I was highly, but not shockingly, disappointed. The story line was not that great to me and the main character was just WAY TOO powerful, I mean bringing down a damn Star Destroyer from the surface of the planet with the froce alone. I mean, Yoda struggled to bring an x-wing out of a swamp. Then the concept of actually defeating Darth Vader and the Emperor, really left me feeling cheated of my memories of a powerful Vader and supe powerful Emperor, but I guess the prequals had already done that, this just poured more salt in the wound. Why the hell can't they do more like KOTOR, that was a great game with great characters and a great storyline, probably because Lucas didn't have a chance to rape it.

I've always kind of hated Halloween. I'm more of a Thanksgiving and Christmas kind of guy.

Well, I don't think that GhostAlpha should be banned, but I do admit it's been annoying me for the past few months that I can't read any thread he's posted in.  And Firefox isn't an option for me as far as I can tell because I'm running Windows 98, and any attempts I've made to download it have failed.

Much like the threads fail when GhostAlpha posts in them.  It would be nice if GhostAlpha would remove whatever Microsoft Word crap is in his signature line so poor, technologically-deficient people such as myself won't be deprived in any other ways.  Just a thought...

Dang, you're still with '98, that is, pretty decrepit. I'll may just donate an edition of Windows XP to you.

Once again Rob, F-I-R-E-F-O-X!

Seeing it fine here. You really ought to consider Firefox.

Love the avator.

Damn, pretty soon there won't be nomore actors left.

McCain stomped Obama.

Congrats, I told you all Sony wanted to secure a victorious format and then gouge the hell out of us. I knew HD-DVD was the best choice.

Anyone else watching O'Reilly's interview of Obama?

i've been away a long time....started an account in 06 then forgot for a while.

i've spent so much time in The Pit on ultimate-guitar.com, i forgot what it was like to have republicans on the forums.

 

I'M HOME AT LAST!

Well, I wouldn't say republicans, conservatives would be more accurate. Anyone else notice that anyone who ACTUALLY deals with money is conservative? Students, who happen to get loans, scholarships, and Mom & Dad's money, are usually LIBS. The parents at home, hard-core conservatives, reasons for that you know.

I HATE TO HEAR THIS!!! Being a fan of country music, and a musician, I damn sure hate this. Great musician, talented actor, and seemed to be a great guy. RIP Mr. Reed.

I like my cats. Dogs just annoy me. But I'm happy for you Sean!

Best part:

Michael: Hey, you're not a spirit!

O'Reilly: I know, I just enjoy slapping you.

Hells yeah!!

I can't believe anyone in Hollywood put out anything that would dare challenge the far left agenda of that establishment. Glad David Zucker, Jon Voight, Kelsey Grammer, and the rest had the guts. Kind of surprised Eastwood didn't get in on it, as much as he hates michael moore. Looks like a great movie. Kevin Farley is a damn carbon copy of his brother. I think this will speak to most of the general public and get a good draw.

Just wait another ten when the baby boomers start dropping like flys. It'll be a celebrity apocalypse.

A very sad, but very true, statement. Talent is really becoming a a commodity these days, very rare, indeed.

I remember when I was a little kid, probably in '83 or '84, I was about 4-5 by that time. A friend of my dad brought over his Laserdisc player and we watched The Empire Strikes Back and Indiana Jones. That's pretty much where my love of Star Wars began, even though I was aware before then, I never really paid attention to the movie until then. Great memories.

Many in my profession are totally against marijuana because we have seen instance after instance that it is , in fact, a gateway drug. I have seen numerous people do marijuana and eventually end up on meth. Now, I certainly do not think it is the rule, but certianly a possibility. The same as an alcoholic starts on beer and finally ends up drinking straight vodka or whiskey. Myself, I wouldn't care if they legalized it and taxed the hell out of it.
