Smart people buy games from STEAM when they go on sale. I got batman Arkham City for $25. No retail place had this game for that price. NOT ONE. It typically retails for $50! So, yeah ONLINE sales are BOOMING, and this article fails to take that into account. Also, Consoles are old, and the PC's Resurgance (Sp?) as a gaming platform is growing rapidly. Instead of paying a bunch of money on old tech, you can buy a solid videocard for $150 that will play most games at settings way prettier than an X-Box. The console manufacturers tried to ride their systems too long, we need a refresh tomorrow.

Hey we all got goals, some just cost more than others.

UP = Rotor blades, and at the normally very low altitude they operate at, not much time to open a chute, and downdraft from rotors pushes you into the ground if you are not high enough.

I see them practice near the field where I fly R/C. When you make a mistake at that altitude, there is pretty much nothing that can be done to recover. There is just not enough room.

Be lucky to count yourself among them, but you had help, a loving wife, who recognized an issue, and did something about it. So many people actually enable the behavior, or turn the other cheek, pretending to not see it. Your wife gave you something to live for other than your next dose. A true addict will do nothing but survive for their next dose.

BSOD on Win7? what did you do wrong? While MS had a fair share of BS releases... (Vista, windows ME, etc...) Win7 is ROCK SOLID, best OS I've ever used.
