its amazeing how a video game is faster then a pc
Almost. The PS3 has great vector processing capability - this means that it's good at certain types of mathematical calculations that require "swerves" in their logic. The price it pays for this architecture is that it is poor at "swervy" calculations. Most experts actually consider this an... -

Job Decision, need feedback
Get an accountant for the taxes, and don't blow cash on a laptop for gaming until you're much more financially secure - buy a GameBoy instead. If you take the job, use it to accumulate cash so that you can find a job where you can be with your family. -

Talking of knives, it sounds like Bushman might not be issued with an anti-stab vest. Even if a criminal doesn't have a knife, then a stabbing with a tool like a screwdriver (a very likely killer used in an icepick grip) is very likely, especially if drug use is impairing judgment. Biting is... -

Yes. If only the Republican's had won the last election... You do know that the US has the largest prison population in the world? (Both in ratio and absolute terms, I believe.) And that it has QUADRUPLED since 1980...? Anyway, as for your neighbours phoning for the police re. you but not the...
