KFC has it:

This all-American meal is interesting. I personally think it looks good. I'll probably never eat it since I never get to KFC but I would be willing to try it. I still miss my heart-attack-in-a-bun the double western cheeseburger from Carl's Jr:

Anyway, I think it's a big "no shit" that food like this is leading to issues in America. Sure it's great but we really have to stop and re-think things like this. What are your thoughts?

Is that 20 lightyears or 20,000 lightyears or something I'm not understanding? That's an incredible distance and while I'm not gonna say it's impossible, it's certainly way out of reach and nothing that Virgin is going to do will help solve how to get there.

I dunno anything about formula 1 but the game looks like I could get addicted.

Same here. I don't think you have to know anything to appreciate and enjoy driving a great simulator.

HOLY CRAP IT'S BEEN RELEASED!

Basically, it's a F1 racing game by Codemasters (makers if DiRT series). I saw this a while back and was amazed at the weather effects. I was browsing the SoftTH forum and saw some screenshots and thought: "Boy, that menu looks like something Codemasters would make". Then it hit me: THEY DID. I'm so getting this game. Expect a review and screenshots soon

I think I just found it.

The version up at the top right. There's php code that pulls that from a file Jonny uses to display versions so when he updates that, it updates on the site. I'm showing only the first 10 characters of the file (excluding PB versions and whatnot) but I don't know how to only pull characters 5-10 =\

Or is this a simple case of rich people living boy/girl-hood dreams?

I think this is probably the most accurate.

I also agree.

They're about to start space tourism and people are still dying from cancer. I guess that sounds normal.

Ha, true. I think a project like this falls into the list of un-necessary. Whenever I see a NASA blast-off, I can't help but think about all the fuel being used and all the processing it took to enrich that fuel to get it to it's high-performance state. I don't know, I really don't see any benefit of this program. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't piss so much of it on projects and life-goals, I would do good.

Just a heads up, this post will have some Dann-esque attached.

Recently, I was browsing the forum and had a revelation. I finally understood the point behind Dann's threads such as the Intelligence one. Don't ask me what made me see his point because I really don't remember. I just remember an "ahhhh" moment. Today, I spent some time having a good chat with Dann and this subject came up. I'll try and summarize my point so most people read it:

While we, as a community, have the ability to have various discussions, I would like to see more. I appreciate and am also amazed at the amount of activity since I opened this site. While some of his posts are over my head, I do find it a shame and waste that Dann's efforts are largely ignored. I know the larger demographic of this site is late-teen gamers and because of that, philosophical and deep meaningful artistic things may not appeal. That's fine. But, it doesn't mean that we have to be so narrow in discussions. I've enjoyed most of the discussions in the debating board, I would like to see more of that. Killaman does a great job giving thorough reviews of games and I think we all post news, mostly technology, but news nonetheless. I like Headshot!, I do. I just wish there was more. I'm not going to say you people need to change yourselves to be more engaging and entertaining for the rest of us or say that you need to go out and learn a subject. I'm not going to because I know you won't. You are who are who you are and who am I to dictate how you change your life. So then, what's the answer? After talking with Dann and doing some thinking, I think it comes down to 2 things:

1. We need more diverse activity. I can't really push this and I don't know how to go about it. Basically, more posts/threads concerning different subjects.
2. While you all are quite enjoyable, we need more people. Don't spam the URL on DRAAT or your MSN client, just share this site with the people that you respect and enjoy talking to. This is meant to be a friendly place for welcoming anyone to talk about anything and I will do what I can to maintain that.

Speaking of my duty to maintain this place; I'm going to say that, without pointing fingers or mentioning threads or accusing, I'm asking that everybody should do what they can to respect each other and to be a little more careful of what they say and who they say it to. This is nothing Dann mentioned to me, it's just my own observation. Part of being open and welcoming new ideas and people is that you give and get respect and don't piss people off. You may have views, opinions and beliefs but that doesn't mean you have to push them on people or make others feel bad for thinking something other than your stance. You wouldn't want to be on the receiving end.

I could also put some blame on myself for things like using a cheesy subdomain for the site instead of forking money over for a real URL (but that will change sometime soon) and also using a default theme for a forum. They're minor things but they do nag at me.

That's that. As Crunk would say, discuss.
