That's WRC alright. Mikko Hirvonen's Ford Focus to be exact. With real World Rally Championship cars this might convince me to get it instead of Dirt 2.
abninfantrygamer you make an interesting point. There no way that companies like Blackwater should be used especially since they operate outside the law. But your point that they are regular guys makes me re-examine my image of kill crazy psychos. If the regular military paid more of if there were more opportunities at home this wouldn't be as big a problem.
It's scary how many people still don't realize that mercenaries are being used in Afghanistan and Iraq.
I got one of these given to me at a trade show about 6 or 7 years ago. It was kind of cool since it could be programed with macros to turning stuff on and tuning to a specific channel but since my nephew was 6 and had his own hand me down PC he didn't need the help with his own remote control. The weemote is is a box in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere at home.
I do remember thinking when the Nintendo Revolution got called the Wii that Nintendo couldn't use the term Wiimote since there was already a Weemote. Forbis should have sold the name then an there and made some money.
It took a while for me to make the connection even though I'm a huge TP fan. The lyrics were familiar but the image threw me off. Final Fantasy and Tom Petty make a very strange mashup.
That was the first Onion article in a while that I read all the way to the end. They usually have a great headline and first paragraph but then they just keep on and on with the same joke.
I would like to know who determines that there is nothing wrong with the returned equipment. "It turns on," is not a proper way of determining if it is OK. I simply don't believe the 95% number. The number would be high but not that high.
