    RE: PlayStation 2

    comet- You can get rechargeable battery packs that are specifaccly designed for the gameboy. You dont have to take it out to recharge, you just plug in the socket from a wall adapter, and you can play it while its recharging. A recharge will usually last about 5 hours.

    RE: The Big Answer..

    I do have an interesting idea about the dinosaurs. When adam and eve were expelled from the garden, God cursed satan who was taking the form a serpent by saying that serpents would no longer walk on earth but crawl on their bellys and eat the dust of the earth. Hence you nolonger have walking dinosaurs, and every reptile I can think of does crawl with its belly on the ground.

    RE: monarchys

    “If its broke but still works, dont bother fixing it”

    Rabie-Its not just the tabloids that makes me think british monarchy is wacked out, its the entire history. I was reading about the war of the roses, and there was this queen Margaret who raised an army and defeated rebels trying to take the thrown because her husband the king was insane. When she returned to london in triumph, the people of london wouldnt open the gates for her and her army. Its like that Cheech and Chong routine “Daves not here”. “Open thy gates oh london to thy Queen. Queens not here. Nay tis thy queen returning in victory. Queens not here”. One nobel got the bright idea that if you picked the wrong side in the war of the roses, you lose your title, your property and might be executed. So in the final battle of the war of the roses, he told both sides he would wait to see which side was winning and then fight for that side, which he did and was duely honored afterwards. If you were to make a movie of the war of the roses, noone would beleive it.

    RE: PlayStation 2

    Comet- Both Shawn Palmer Pro Snow Boarder and Tony Hawk Pro Skater are on Game Boy Advance. I have the Shawn Palmer one, and it really excellent with great courses, good graphics and plenty of difficulty levels. If you want something you can carry around and play anytime (say if you commute on mass transit or something) I recomend the Gameboy.

    RE: Mugabe

    This is an issue Ive been giving thought to lately. Is it time to start demanding governments of poor countrys that recieve aid to have an “open book policy” regarding money they recieve. Im thinking in terms of alot of latin american countrys that recieve huge aid and loans, but the money is all lost to corruption and dishonesty. Much attention has been given to 3rd world debt that doesnt benefit the common people, but that they suffer paying the burdon for money that lines the pockets of the “government”. I think proactive measures should be taken, and if a poor country wants a loan, both the lending bank and the gov officals themselves have to reveal what the money is to be used for and prove thats where the money went once its spent. To take argentina for example, theyve had billions of dollars in loans, they have billions of dollars in debt, the entire system crooked, and its the poor and middleclass who suffer.

    RE: best biz jet

    [updated:LAST EDITED ON 11-08-02 AT 08:16 PM (GMT)]Kabir-The gulfstream doesnt qualify. We all know how nice it is to fly non-stop from La to Paris in a bizjet with bedroom, shower, walkin baggage compartment. But lets focus on the lighter bizjets.

    BTW I dont think the Boeing BBJ or Airbus A319CJ qualify as bizjets. Theyre about double the weight of the gulfstream/bombardier and are really just full size airliners stripped-out to serve as a private jet.

    GZDL- The citation X certainly does qualify as midrange

    saab2000- You like the slowtation? They were the laughing stock of private jets till the X came along.

    thunderchief- Beech is now Raytheon which also bought Hawkers line of bizjets. You should check out the PremeirI. Its meant to be a step up from the Sky King, a very small step up since operating cost are not much more than turboprops since it uses the revolutionary Williams/Rolls Royce FJ44 turbofan. Check this link and youll see how small the engine is, yet it produces thrust much higher for its size.

    RE: PlayStation 2

    PII- How would you rate F-14 Tomcat as a flight sim? Once again the I think graphics are good, but I find the screen size and toggle button makes dogfighting a little delicate as apposed to a full size pc game. I like Topgun for GBcolor just because that little F-14 looks so cool.

    RE: PlayStation 2

    Does anyone here have Gameboy Advance? Ive been playing Rogue Spear on that, and the quality of the graphics and sound effects is incredable. Ive lonewolfed 13 of the 15 levels on elite, so I think Ive almost got the game mastered. The Road Rally game for GBA is I think equal in quality to full size tv-box Road Rally games.

    RE: Weird Things You Would Never Know!!

    Thats not true about the electric chair being invented by a dentist. It was invented by none other than Thomas Edison. There were alot of complaints about hanging being used for capital punishment because alot of people werent dying right away, but slowly being strangled to death. Thomas Edison was fiercly opposed to alternating current, so to prove that it was dangerous, he suggested using, and built an electric chair. The first electricution was a failure, the person did not die during the first try, and there was smoke coming out his head, it took to more trys to finally kill him.
