stuart, lets play a game of theory.


mass scientists come to the conclusion that global warming is real. like you said, if its not real, cleaner air. what if thats their thinking? what do they stand to collaborate al gores ideas of global warming? cleaner air, potentially reducing/stopping global warming, a nice big paycheck/grant



at the same time, a small but still in essence large(hundreds perhaps thousands?) disagree with the majority's opinion. why? perhaps if this scenario were to be true. those people would be taking the moral high ground, deciding and telling the truth that it is a farce.



like i said, i didnt say it was true. but think about it, what if it is true? now i do agree, cleaner air might not be a bad thing, and al gores witch hunt might be fine. but, lets take a local lake for example (and a canal in my home town)

lake(and canal) get heavily protested years ago to be cleaned, for boats of people who can afford a $50k boat to drive around say, lake michigan(same thing here except snow mobilers). they clean the lake, the lake being cleaned of seaweed, or just vegetation causes more sunlight to enter the water and deepr, causes more plant life to grow faster, larger, much better. causing a huge cycle of pointlessness. no big deal really? well its acceptable

now here in my town, and actually through out all of illinois the hennepin canal once was filled with downed trees, the pathways that run along it over grown and slightly wild like. these trees stopped snow mobilers from having fun on the canal, so them + EPA supporters said, lets clean it up. its been a while now... but its clean as hell most of the time. side effects like the seaweed? the fish population has decreased significantly, especially with combined factors of pollution and farm run off(same?) some species are nearly non existent in this canal now, when previously they were known to be some the most aggressive fresh water fish(we call them yellow belly/bullhead catfish im unsure its proper name). the fallen trees provided cover, safety nutrients(bugs&vegetation) for these fish and other animals


so now, thats one canal, on a relatively small scale(even though its like 100 miles long?) what if all this cleaner air stuff comes back to haunt us like the tree thing did? maybe it will be like the seaweed. it could be like a "perpetual cycle of maintenance" or it could be come a disaster. yes, i assume the pollution in the air/water all that stuff probably would cause more potential damage then then "disaster" scenario, but i think it should all be watched carefully.

do they also have a stand alone pager function that allows you to find them when you misplace them?

seriously, like the idea... hate the reality of losing 1.

how is it products with much better features and sound quality never get this kind of stuff?


oh, because they have it built in

did you read the article? he was assigned the armor because of his suicide not because he may/may not be an amazing player.

id expect that kind of blind judgment from an apple/ipod person not an xboxlive person... oh wait, i forgot it typically the same kind of people

phreaking? please, cap'n crunch would be ashamed if this is the level it has become where you make a phone toll-free call for something.


if you think im referring to the cereal guy, maybe google the name and term

is this something you just recently learned about? hey its fine, ive known about it for maybe 6months.

1 thing that is good about this, the publicity. maybe bungie/microsoft will change things so this will happen less.


anyway, i dont know the details but you can change your accounts name. seems like a shitty alternative, but hey look at the times we live in identity theft and credit card fraud are apparently rampant

this has been happening for the last year.


the "hacking" oh please, i figured engadget to be more savvy on issues like this, i even know how its done.

all you do is call up Xboxlive and say, hey my brother did this or that or some BS story. tell them you forgot all this other info to deal with the account you "lost". naturally, you will get people who wont give you any of the info to recover and account onto your xbox. but their is some who will hand over small bits of that info. so 2-5 dozen calls later you just might have a new Xbox account


yeah, engadget "hacking"? i thought you would understand fraud and lying better then these 12 year old kids.

wow, maybe we could make a bit more comfortable guitar for guitar hero.


seriously, i cant stand holding those tiny guitars.


i purpose a new guitar style, much like how keyboards used to be "a big brick" shape, and now we have split keyboards that and in a "bent" shape. you know the 1's that look like they are easy if you used your thumbs and index finger to make a diamond shape

did they remove the "apple" key? because, that seems like the biggest problem with the keyboard, whenever i see that key looking up at me reminding me this is a toy computer im using i feel like a fool.

no matter, how good a mac might be for graphics and anything else, it still feels like a walmart pre-skool "kiddie komp" because of that damned apple key.

are they using them as gaming products or food? jesus...
