I despise Joe Lieberman as a human being. people are making about violent video games have no bearing on real life. Those hijackers didn't decide to hit the World Trade Center because they played flight sim games, they wanted to do it in the first place and used flight simulators as a tool to meet their goal. Similarly, paying an FPS won't turn little Johnny into a cold blooded killer- he has to want to be that way in the first place.

Oh, and by the way, Joe Lieberman is a fool. I voted for Ned Lamont.
Well, for one, any post with "Blue Please Read" in the title should be deleted, as well as any thread with the word "signed" in it, as these threads are stupid and get nothing done. Instead, there needs to be a player to dev discussion forum that devs will actually hang out in and answer intelligent questions/delete the stupid people who just QQ all day.

Also, perhaps a private messaging/ranking system could be installed similar to other forums on the net. The account names would be listed with each character, and each account would have its own private message/rankings pool so that if someone posts something stupid on their alt, they will get PMs and other players could give them negative ranks, and because their alts and main share the same ratings pool they will have to own up to it. People could have a limited amount of +/- ranks they could give each person per post (say, 1 per person per post similar to the comment rating system on digg) to limit rankings spamming either in the up or down direction.

This system would work well because if someone is a troll that just flames the forums all the live long day, their low ranking will show up on their alts as well as their main, all but destroying their credibility in any conversation and perhaps even on their home server.
"Do we call these donors baboons for giving in to a kid or do we call them muses for feeding his creativity?"

I'll go with the latter. The videos are obviously an act. If he can set up a website like this, the silly videos are in fact meant to entertain an make people want to donate more. What's he gonna do, just beg for money the normal way?
I'm camping out Walmart, if only to make a better video for the fans/donators to my website dedicated to getting a Wii.
Ok, so, there was this bitchy lady in line at my toys r' us so that a bunch of tickle me elmo people got Wiis to make sure she didn't get one. I was behind her in line.

I am not very happy.
I will be the first, and certainly not the last to say it:

House of Flying Daggers
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
