I had a dream recently where I was a black woman who was trying to start a family. Me and my husband and our children built a house together. Then my husband did something bad. It's very blurry. Then me and my children were somehow all powerful. I went back somehow to the time before my husband and I had had kids, and we were building an enormous tower together, but somehow he fell from the tower.
Symbolic. Were your family black as well?

I know a guy who's a member of the Flat Earth Society.
It's not serious.
As for the paranormal... color me "indeterminate," but I've known some people who take it really seriously.
I knew this one guy, who claimed to be able to see auras and such, and he was afraid of me because, and I quote, "I see flames leaping from your hands, and your aura looks like the glow from a blacklight poster, and that's a color that human beings aren't supposed to have."
Maybe it was a compliment?

Screw internet explorer. I'm never switching from Netscape.
Oldschool *+rep*

I've been using FF 4 (Managed to make it feel exactly like v3.6.) for a few days now and so far there are zero problems, just pure speed and stability.
I don't have problems with v3.6 usually either. Maybe once in a while. Not enough to bother me.

My brother(yeah, i am to poor to buy it myself, no good jobs for kids my age ) has it preloaded as well and i will probably get to play it 1day or so after it comes out because by then my brother should have played through it.
At least you'll get to play it.

I've been using Chrome of late, but had Firefox open in the background just in case. Anyway, I was having an issue downloading something with Chrome so I thought I'd use Firefox. I alt-tabbed back to Firefox and created a new tab, and then it froze. There was nothing I could do to get it out of it, so I loaded the task manager. Firefox 4 was using an insane 2GB memory. I think someone said to me it might be an addon, but I really don't have virtually any addons beyond Noscript and Adblock.
Sounds like a good old Firefox problem to me...

Lately I've been having a lot of dreams inside dreams.

I've already preloaded the game on Steam.

When someone mentions "paranormal" I think of Fox Mulder.
Wow, that sounds... like Gir.

Oscar Wilde ftw.

I don't get them because AdBlocker removes them.
I also opt out of adding commercials to my videos because I like to hamper Capitalism like that.
COMMUNIST!

Eradicator was an obscure first person shooter (with an optional third person view) released for DOS PC (and only PC afaik) in 1996-1997 by Eidos Interactive and developed by the now defunct Accolade Software. It never gained popularity and faded away due to falling under the shadow of the technically superior Quake and other more well known shooters such as Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and even Redneck Rampage (which is another sort of obscure FPS). It uses the Build engine by Ken Silverman, which was also used for the aforementioned games, except Quake.
Taking place in a science fiction setting and being a shooter with some platforming elements, the basic premise of the game is to survive the onslaught of enemy rogue robots and defense droids, some you can even take control of using remote controls and make it out of "the citadel", a huge mining installation which has fallen under the attack of an alien leader. Usually your protagonist is alone against the enemy forces, much like in Doom and Quake, though the game still has a very distinct atmosphere.
You can control three different characters, each with their own levels to complete and each with their own unique skills. Dan Blaze (no relation to Billy Blaze or BJ Blazkowitz) is the most balanced one and is logically the first one to complete with.
The game can also be played multiplayer, either co-op or deathmatch, and even supports IPX networking.
Due to Accolade having become defunct and Eidos no longer offering support for the game, it has become abandonware and can easily be obtained on the internet legally, and used copies can be found on eBay easily and cheaply due to the game's obscurity. The game can be played on modern post-DOS systems using DOSBox.

I think 16 gigs is the limit for modern motherboards anyway. Might as well get as much performance out of it as possible.

The CoD games sell like bacon crisps though, mostly for the multiplayer I imagine.

I uninstalled Internet Explorer long ago.

Ads only appear on videos if the channel operator wants them too, and they get a cut of the money. I made around a hundred bucks on it before they decided my videos weren't popular enough to get ads.
That explains a lot...

It all has to do with popularity really and what people play in an area. THe more people that play CoD, the more people are gonna get it because others play it. We're like sheep that way.
