I've leased-to-own a cable modem from my ISP. Now I'm moving, cancelling service with them, and taking the modem with me. Will I be able to use this modem in the future for all my high speed internet (via cable) services? I.e., "a cable modem is a cable modem, is a cable modem", yes?

I've just started dabbling in this very recently. I've found that if you add &fmt=6 at the end of the URL, it links directly to the high quality version of the video (if available). There's various websites, not to mention download & install programs that let you download/convert the flash...

OK then, a pilot flying an aircraft laden with a thermonuclear weapon FTW. /thread But in terms of... 'the men' (AKA 'the soldiers'), that's what I meant, before.

In terms of pure soldiery, it would definitely have to be somewhere in the Far East, before the Industrial Age began. I'm leaning towards China or Japan. Pretty close call, but personally I'd say Japan. That's where you'd find the (highest concentration of) best overall 'troops', I'd say...

Regarding the Hitler vs. Stalin debate... just imagine yourself as a WWII general, and you had to explain to your boss that the front lines have broken, and the enemy is exploiting a major blunder which you are mostly responsible for. Who would you rather have to answer to? Hitler, or Stalin...

The game is Darklands, originally '92, but I have the CD released in '95. It's supported by DOSbox, but I kept reading the comments about "you need to tweak XYZ, blah blah"... I'd rather not go there, frankly. At first the problem seems simple, when you try to load the startup/install...

A thread about the sky, what someone perceives, and a Hitler avatar. Why do I suspect this has some kind of hidden relation to the A.H. quote: “Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilized.” :hmm:

Man of Steel -- hands down.

It means you should rise above the ways of the world, and not be a person that propagates the same old hate & asinine behavior. Most have great difficulty. -Which is why they will burn horribly in a lake of fire for all eternity. A real pity. (j/k)

What do you mean, "rare for a private"? Most CMH's by far go to E-3 and below. They're Gung-ho, young, invincible, fresh out of bootcamp, and at the bottom of the totem pole... perfect candidates for such 'acts of valor'.

Being a dismembered, deeply humiliated freak does not necessarily mean one's life is ruined. Unless they were planning on being stocking/hosiery/lingerie models, with aspirations of being posted in the babe thread. That's pretty much out the window now, I guess.

Yeah, it's the dominant ecological feature of the planet, and it's rapidly being ruined/raped by pollution, radiation*, and over-fishing. What do you want me to do about it? I'm doing my part... by not eating fish. Well, I guess I take fish body oil capsules, from GNC. *most underestimated...

What about a savage rebel military? Should they be respected? :p And btw, "nobody joins the military to get rich". Just ask anybody who's in the military.

It's probably for the best, anyways. The world's oceans are so polluted, fish really aren't healthy enough to want to eat them in abundance, anymore. Take my little brother for example - on his health kick, he thinks 'salmon' are the healthiest form of meat/protein... so he eats them at almost...

There's a system in place, which allows you to live in the manner you do -- you can call it 'your country'. That country is run by an organized government. In order for the goverment to work, people need to serve in it. Civil service members, as well as uniformed service members. Without any...
