From what I hear, there are some different things and it may be more realistic than before. I'll have to see then. And my friend is buying it; I actually don't own any system at the moment. But he has a 360, as does another friend of mine. The friend who's buying it did have a PS3, but he recently solid it since the Blu Ray player went out.Quoting Ivan Drago (view post)

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
Speaking of the Wind in the Willows love you espoused a while back. Have you seen the Monty Python (actors) version? I want to watch that.

Getting once again back to aliens for a second, have any of you been following Gary McKinnon?
For those who haven't, McKinnon is a Scottish hacker who's in the process of being extradited for hacking into networks owned by NASA, the US Army, US Navy, Department of Defense, and the US Air Force. It's being called "biggest military computer hack of all time."
But, what he found is especially interesting:
There's more to it, and he's getting quite a lot of press for these assertions, outside of his extradition. It's getting damnably interesting.
He will be spending seventy years in prison.
Yes I have. I remember liking it, but I saw it when it first came out, so I was young and my memory is hazy. Terry Jones as Toad was great, but then I'm inordinately fond of Terry Jones.
I killed two computers in two days. Who wants to touch me?
And you're not going to post it here for our pleasure? Bah humbug.
"Modern weapons can defend freedom, civilization, and life only by annihilating them. Security in military language means the ability to do away with the Earth."

I miss feedback from professors. That was a big highlight in my life.
...and the milk's in me.
I'm quite certain my nose is about to start bleeding, which makes it hard to do anything like work or type. Just holding a kleenex. It's getting kinda old.
...and the milk's in me.
I haven't hat a bloody nose since I quit smoking, over a year ago. I used to get them all the damn time.
Maybe I should just give it a few knocks to get the blood flowing. NOTHING IS WORSE THAN NOT KNOWING.
...and the milk's in me.
I get them constantly. I don't smoke, but I broke my nose very badly as a child.
...and the milk's in me.
I get them frequently. My whole family does. I don't get nosebleeds as often as I did when I was younger, but I still get five or six a month, out of pretty much nowhere.
I got them that often when I lived in Utah (the dryness and elevation got me.) Here in humid, low-lying Maryland, I get them less frequently.
...and the milk's in me.
I've had surgery on my nose and sinuses 3 times!
Ugh.
My sinuses < your sinuses
I think I'm becoming lactose intolerant, at least a little bit. The last couple times I ate a small amount of ice cream, I felt bloated. If I drink milk by itself, I become congested. I can still handle cereal with milk. This kinda sucks.

I had deviated septum surgery several years back, and then allergy shots since then; together, these kicked the frequency of infections and allergies attacks down to nearly negligible levels. Sorry to hear your surgeries did not go as successfully.
Even nature can do an awesome photo bomb:
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I'v never had congestion, but bloating, stomach pain, followed by some of the nastiest gas ever (yay!) are common. Sucks for you if this is the case. I hate not being able to drink an ice cold glass of milk anymore.
Jeez, I haven't done any work for the last two days. If anybody sees me signed in here before next Monday, they should tell me log out, turn off my computer, and get some work done.
I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

I have been without a working "e" key on my computer for over a month now. This is a crippling key to lose, but I think I've learned to cope with my disability.
Are you just copying and pasting all your Es?
I am.
I did that once with a keyboard where the spacebar stopped working. Great fun.
Wow. Ctrl+V every time you'd normally type an "e"? That's dedication Winston*. I may have underestimated you.
Indeed it is. For E that'd be murder.
