Would love to pick up either HL2 or Ep1. If anyone has either to spare, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Linksys WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adaptor $24.99

Link Reviews seem to be pretty good. Even better than the $30 w/ free shipping deal from Buy.com a while back (which is now OOS).

RANT: What would you do.

Married for 3 and a half years, with a 2-year old little girl, here. At times it can be tough, at times I've wished the Mrs. and I could get a little more "action" going, but at no time have I blamed it all on her or wished that I'd get cancer and die just to get out of the relationship...

The purpose of a corporation is to make money.

The problem isn't perspective, it's definition and enforcement. Just how do you propose that a corporation be prosecuted for crimes in a similar fashion to an individual? It can't be done. The best you can do is go after the agents, as the principal, despite the term's latin origins might...

Why do americans like deli meat so much?

Obviously you have no idea what the hell you're talking about...ever hear of Boar's Head? Back in my teen years I worked in a deli that served Boar's Head brand meats. My overexposure to Martin Scorcese flicks leads me to believe the experience was something akin to having the "family" come...

The purpose of a corporation is to make money.

Fun topic. So let me see if I understand your logic...because a corporation has a purpose, no one can complain about a lack of governmental regulation of this business entity? Seems fairly ignorant to me, particularly when you consider that the corporation as we know it today is the...

A question about the education system in the USA vs Canada?

Being a product of the U.S. Education System, I'd say there's some truth to that...at least to an extent. What information I've seen seems to suggest that education in the U.S. is roughly equivalent to what you see in other nations up through the elementary school years. As students progress...

Nope...4WD '05 Xterra owner here. Although I will admit, I do miss the feel of a manual tranny. Much easier to pass Cheerios back to the baby and put on her Dora The Explorer cd with the automatic, however. ;)
