You can be arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), even if you are under the legal limit. Once you hit the legal limit, it becomes driving while intoxicated (DWI), which is a lot worse. Either way, if you are visibly impaired by alchohol, the police officer will probably arrest you.

Is this a surprise to you? The Knights of Columbus are Catholic. They don't like any birth control, least of all abortion.

I think he did when he broke the single season record, but I don't think he still does.

It also manifests itself in people telling me that I look like I should be named Robert, or Brian, or Adam, etc. They are not telling me that I look like specific people, but that I look like I should be named a specific name.

[QUOTE="swamprat_basic"][QUOTE="Supafly1"]

[QUOTE="swamprat_basic"]So? Banks have a lot of money, but not nearly enough to cover a run on the bank. You and every other person on Xbox Live tried downloading the BioShock demo at the same time. Of course, the servers were going to be slow.Supafly1

That usually occurs for free service but you're paying for the service, of course you will expect good quality download speed that your internet connection can provide and you would also expect dedicated servers :D

Yeah? I also pay the utility company for electricity, but that doesn't stop the power from going out every now and then.

We're comparing free versus subscription services. Do you have a free electricity service that you can get?

Are you incapable of understanding a simple analogy? It really isn't that hard to understand why the BioShock demo was slow to download, unless your're just trying to look for reasons to bash Xbox Live and Microsoft. Too many people tried to download the demo at the same time. What happens when too many people try to do anything over the internet? Network congestion. It is as simple as that.

It doesn't matter if it is free service or a pay service, nobody has enough servers to handle every single person in the world trying to do the same exact thing at the same exact time.

It can run on every 360? Seems viable since 80% of the PC's on the market probably will have trouble running Crysis on Max settings.

Other then that, Sales. I'd wait for both to release to really compare them as games...otherwise you're just shooting in the dark.

I'd say that less than 1% of PCs will be able to run Crysis on Max settings, and I wouldn't be wrong.

No matter where I go, I always run into people who think they recognize me from somewhere else. It has happened at least 30 times where a complete stranger has told me that they're "trying to think where they have met me before," or they ask me if I used to be part of some hang-gliding or writers club or whatever they used to do. I know for a fact that I don't all ready know these people, because I'll meet them in cities or states where I have never been before.

Does this happen to anybody else?
