    Pretty funny if these are real

    "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry.

    2-door sedans...

    Having two doors on a small coupe is understandable. But what's the point of 2 doors on a mid-size/large sedan (Chevrolet Monte Carlo). I had the displeasure of riding in one recently and it's an annoyance to get in and out of the car and that's putting it mildly. It's even harder to get out...

    Israel's News Icon Blasts "Brutal" Occupation

    True words from an insider. That's my take on it. Being the top news anchorman in Israel, I'm sure his voice carries more weight than most when it comes to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Besides, the ostracism people like him face (without rationale) from society after going public gives one...

    Is it possible to have Firefox and IE use the same cache?

    I was thinking about it as I tried to go over a website which wasn't working properly with FF. So I used IE and it worked fine. Of course, IE downloads all the images and everything else from the website again for its own cache. Is it possible to have ONE shared cache for IE and FF so that...

I don't know if there have been any recent disappearances, but there have been documented disappearances, that's for sure. So what do you think the real mystery is? I really have...

    Save-game files are huge nowadays!

    So just out of curiosity I was wondering about this today. As games become more complex in every way we could imagine, it makes sense that more data is needed to accurately store a "snapshot" of your game, aka "savegame". Just off the top of my head, here's what I think comprises that 30MB...

    A question about Christianity...

    As the topic summary says, how can Jesus die if he is God? Or is Jesus not God? According to Christian scholars, the disciples of Jesus were convinced that he was fully God in human form. Doesn't the Bible also quote Jesus as saying "I and the Father are one"?

    Software EULAs
