    What the heck is up with all these airplane crashes lately?

    Umm...ok. Some other things might be, a) there are just way too many flights going on at once b) everyone, from the mechanics, faa, flight control ops, security checkers, etc are too used to their routines (ie, such a monotonous job), and c) the airplanes crashing are old and shouldn't have...

    What the heck is up with all these airplane crashes lately?

    Now, I know the media tends to glorify this type of news more and more these days, but is it just me or are there too many planes crashing? Can anyone explain this?

    PLEASE - take the time to read this when you have a few minutes...

    Hmm...other than the part about where Dawn Anna says, "There are too many guns out there." "Way too many", that's the only part I could conceive as being some type of propaganda. Then again, if that is, then what isn't? Thanks for reading it to those who have. Since reading this article...

    PLEASE - take the time to read this when you have a few minutes...

    I read this article a long time ago, written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated back when the original issue was out on shelves. I saved the article, framed it, and it now is right above my light-switch in my room. Every time I read it, it jolts me. It helps to remind me how fortunate I am...

    PC Game - Dark Age of Camelot - was $19.99 (today 29.99) -PC RPG Game of the Year

    Is this game pretty much the same as Everquest? I loved EQ, but after a while, there were too many players. Now, if I were to go back, it would be even harder to get back into the swing of things. Anyone else provide some info here? Thanks

    Need help with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5

    Thanks guys. The weird thing is that it doesn't give me any option (or none that I can find) to convert. There is a "Convert" blue button, but it is faded out, rendering it useless even when I have an MP3 file selected. I'll waste a CD and see if it auto converts into into .cda

    Is Grand Theft Auto 3 (the game) coming out for the PC?

    Awesome, I can't wait. I thought the first one was originally made just for the PC. If so, I wonder why they didn't have it out first for PC instead of PS2 (hmm...they are starting to sound similar PC=PS2 ) :)
