    What IM network do you perfer?

    AIM 5.2.3292 with Aimutation, just because everyone I know uses it. I'm sure there are more pleasant looking IM clients, but I don't care

    Mirrors edge

    It's unique but I doubt it's something I'd want to occupy what little space I have left on my hard drive.. I'm waiting for COD5 to go on sale for Black Friday

    MMO or Gaming Sites

    Sorry, I'm a first person shooter or third person shooter (GOW) guy. And an occasional flight game (SWBFII space battles)

    Prebeta Installation of Windows 7 - Images

    Looks like trash IMO (can't compare to custom themes for patched uxtheme.dll). If performance is as bad as Vista, there's no way I'm getting this either. Microsoft needs to stop releasing stuff on a yearly basis and put some effort. In fact, how about re-writing everything from ground up...

    Economic meltdown

    My parents own everything they buy. No loans, no monthly payments towards a car, nothing. I think Americans as a whole need to live modestly.. that's why this "bad economy" isn't hurting us. My family lives modestly, we save money as often as possible, and make good investments. People need...

    Free Software Poll 1: Web browsers

    I use Chrome and Firefox, but I find myself using Chrome more often. I've made Chrome my default browser just because it opens/responds faster than FF. Once Mozilla releases that hyped update about performance improvements, then I'll judge which one becomes the new default If Chrome gets...

    Whats your speed machine?

    I believe Brandon has a Ford Taurus if I'm not mistaken. Just yesterday my parents bought this SUV: Obviously a photo from toyota's website, but I look forward to driving it once I get home

    Ignorance

    I would want to know, just so I don't end up watching someone I know die. If any means of prevention can be found, then those measures should be acted upon. (This response is biased partially because I do plan on pursuing a career in medicine)

    The orange box?

    I'm not a big fan of TF2 (graphics bother me, probably just me), but Portal is a must-play game. It's definitely worth it, plus all the modded servers around..

    How is San Antonio ?

    Move to SA for your graduation? I don't quite follow, but I've lived in Houston for nearly all my life, but I am currently living in Austin for college (UT). San Antonio is a nice place; it's got a bunch of sites to see, a nice party atmosphere, you won't get bored. I don't wrestle so I can't...

    Pangaea

    It seems like a reasonable explanation. We know that tectonic plates shift..

    How many monitors do you have?

    One 20" widescreen LCD.. wouldn't need another one, it'd be kind of useless to me

    Which PC Brand?

    I search www.dealcatcher.com for good Dell computer deals when I'm in the market for one. I make sure to get a setup that would cost me more to build myself, and then buy separately the components I want to upgrade. For instance, for $669 a year ago, I got this setup: 2.33 GHz C2D, 4 MB L2 20"...

    Firefox Extensions

    Adblock Plus, BugMeNot, and Mouse Gestures! But I've been using Chrome lately..

    California Fires

    Well some of this is due to the fact that many prominent environmentalists don't want to cut down brush/trees to prevent these fires to begin with (forgot the term for this, but they cut away every-other-acre to form a grid to make it easier to fight fires). IMO they just keep shooting...
