Resignation: Apply within

Am leaving, for a while at least. Maybe a compelling reason to sign back in and post will rid it's gorgeous head? For now one thing is sure, theres no reason to be active as a memeber of Gamespot. The biased is annoying, the populous' opinion is to strong for most posters to seem like anything other than script commands. Back to the real world were there are GAMERS who enjoy playing games not divide and attempt to conquer because they feel superior..insecurity. Getting a big head because you excel at clockwork and false dynamics? Getting "high" off of other peoples ideas and creations is hardly something to mount your high horse and look down on others over..

Anyone like Coldplay?

I don't know..but could it be the fact that they're british which gives them that "instant classic" sound? Not to be biased againts non-british alternative rock bands of course.. What do you think of Coldplay? Know of any similar bands, let me know.

I need a union.

Not just any union, a good union which some what intelligent game discussion can take place! Any recommendations?

I ask because System Wars 'aint cutting it anymore. It's like rendition stupidity :D

"Nvidia is ready for its next-generation GPU launch. According to sources at graphics card makers, the company plans to launch its GeForce 9 series GPU after the Lunar New Year in February.

The first chip to rollout of in GeForce 9 family will be the D9E, a high-end product that adopts 65nm manufacturing. The new product will also support DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1, revealed the sources.

In addition to the D9E, Nvidia will roll out a mid-range GeForce 9 family product named D9P in June 2008. The new GPU will adopt 55nm processing, the sources pointed out."

Some sources were saying that the 9800s will be twice as powerful as the 8800s all while using less power, giving off less heat.

Unconfirmed: 1GB of GDDR4, 512-bit, 1 billion transistors and a $549-$649 pricetag.

Woman's finger torn off during robbery

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - A man tore a woman's finger off during a drive-by purse snatching, police said.

Caesare R. Pinkins, 21, is charged with multiple felony counts of robbery, aggravated battery and burglary. He is being held in Gwinnett County Jail without bond.

Pinkins drove by a 55-year-old woman at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday, swiped her purse and stepped on the gas, Gwinnett Police Corporal Illana Spellman said.

"As the suspect drove away, one of the victim's fingers was pulled off," Spellman said.

Attempts by surgeons to reattach the woman's severed finger were unsuccessful. Spellman said she did not have additional information about the woman's injuries. She did not identify the victim.

After the purse snatch someone called police, who found Pinkins in a Lilburn neighborhood later Wednesday. He had ditched the car he was in and entered a nearby home that was unlocked. As police approached he fled on foot and was caught, Spellman said.

One of the counts Pinkins faces is for an alleged purse snatching outside a Target store on Nov. 19. There were no injuries reported in that incident, Spellman said.

Police and jail officials said they did not know if Pinkins had an attorney. The Gwinnett County court was closed Friday.

Year 2010- The end of the Internet

Report: Internet Outages Could Occur By 2010 As Capacity Stalls

Booming demand for Internet services combined with insufficient infrastructure investment could leave the Web vulnerable to brown outs within three years, a study released Tuesday predicted.

Nemertes Research said Internet providers need to invest from $42 billion to $55 billion -- or 60% to 70% more than current plans call for -- to stave off interruptions to the digital economy that could happen if the 'Net bogs down. "The next Google, YouTube, or Amazon might not arise" if the situation isn't fixed, Nemertes said.

The problem, the group said, is that bandwidth usage is outpacing infrastructure build outs. While core fiber and switching/routing technology "will scale nicely," Internet access resources could soon be overwhelmed in three to five years, Nemertes said.

The trouble could be particularly acute in North America, the researchers said.

"Rather like osteoporosis, the underinvestment in infrastructure will painlessly and invisibly leach competitiveness out of the economy," said Nemertes.

Nemertes conceded that its study, in many ways, represents a best guess at what's happening with the Web. "The Internet is almost opaque to serious researchers, even those with the necessary technical skills, integrity and desire," said the group.

That's because commercial Internet providers closely guard information about usage and technology roadmaps. "Carriers and content providers refuse to reveal their inner workings," said Nemertes, adding that it's understandable that service providers are reluctant to reveal data that might undermine their competitiveness or compromise user privacy.

Nonetheless, "we conclude by urging content and service providers to cooperate with researchers in sharing data," said the study's authors. Nemertes also said Congress should consider tax credits to spur Internet providers to add more broadband capacity.Yahoo

While I see what they're saying, an inevitable boost in the way we use things will always occur and will always require a 100% overhaul from companies if they don't want to loose business. The gaming industry should be an example of that with the way EA ignored early success of the Wii, causing them to loose potential business from the new way to play games that it provided. Things like this never bother me as this is only an oppertunity for something revolutionary to happen or something good from a technology standpoint. Fiber Optics and HD Broadcasting comes to mind.
