The comparison to the marines really struck me as I watched this. Think Marines x10. Great visual delight. The battle scenes were just incredible. I've noticed too much recently that battle scenes cut back and forth too quickly to be able to tell what's really happening. I think this is done to mas...

I don't disagree. But they've gone longer than ever before without a new release, so I'll give this one to them.

We'll see if they do anything cool with the whole DirectX 10 thing.

I never had any problem with XP being stable, except for things related to my SB Live card. From what I could tell, Creative never quite got the drivers right for it. Sometimes while playing a game the PC would just reboot. But from what I've read there were others that had a lot of crashes early o...

When XP came out, a LOT of software that talked directly to the hardware under 98 couldn't do that anymore in XP. So in essence, yes. You could do less with XP than you could with 98. But it was way more stable. After a while.

Ah. So Kelly and the country chick I've never heard of. Not that that's saying much, since I've never heard of most of them.

Best quote from that one and everything you need to know about Vista: Windows Vista is destined to be compared to Windows Millennium and why Microsoft is already directing significant efforts on producing something to replace it within the next two years. My prediction is this won't happen. We'll e...

True, but if the PROGRAMMERS were really clever they could get the same (or near the same) results with fewer cycles.

My favorites are the ones who declare, "You'll be sorry." or "You're making a huge mistake." because they all say "You'll see my name in lights." or something to that effect. Six seasons and not one of those people have been able to prove Simon, Randy, and the drugged ...

Not sure if I'd call that a bragging point. Not saying he didn't see it as that, but... "Our code's so bloated and inefficient that you can't run it!"

Way to go!

Looked like Donald Sutherland to me. But I think it will be Linderman.

I think focusing more on one part of the story served them well this week. Probably the best episode of the series so far. They should do that more.

I like it. Julia Roberts' brother's a bad guy. Heheh...

Who did the quick glimpse of the "man behind it all" look like to you?
