I think I love Firefox 4.

Especially since a quick uninstall and reinstall fixed all the hangups I kept getting with the previous versions.

And it looks more like Chrome now.

Man, I missed the Search Bar.

Panorama looks nice.

I'll still use Chrome if I need a sync'd browser, though. The school Macs use FF 3.5, and I don't think I have upgrade permissions. Not that I'd need another password to forget.

Yes, I'm gushing over a web browser. At least I'm not so geeky that I'm naming my computer.

(ideas) Halo: Asymmetry

Random Spartan has to help ODSTs and regular soldiers fight a guerilla war against the Covenant after their ship crashes. Their MJOLNIR armour may or may not be too badly damaged in the crash to remain operational, depending on the writer's preference. Since the Covvies' ship was damaged too, they can't leave or signal for help, and are waiting for backup to arrive.

Anyway, the good guys have to train the citizens to defend themselves, make the hard choices, occasionally sacrifice citizens as a distraction so they can succeed elsewhere. Neither side is exactly happy about this. The Spartan grows closer to the regular soldiers, so it actually hurts him/her when they die.

Incidentally, Jackals eat the flesh of fallen enemies and live prisoners, as one might expect from the name. So defeated humans might kill themselves to avoid capture.

I'm not sure if the Covvies would have the one city on the planet or what, but the whole thing would be like the New Caprica arc on Battlestar Galactica, or The Enemy of my Enemy fic. Something like that. Actually, that wouldn't be too different from the original Halo, if the Pillar of Autumn had somehow come out of Slipspace near an occupied planet instead of Halo.

Blah blah, IEDs and last-resort suicide vests, blah blah, gritty realism, blah blah.

"Weapon of choice"

Say you are in the military, and money was not an issue, which weapons would u bring along with u?

Call me crazy, but I'd be loath to arm anyone who uses "u" sincerely with anythign more than a kitchen knife.

This weapon has so much firepower that if you are shot, even with bullet proof armor, it would still break your ribs.

Doesn't just about anything from a .38 up do that? A bruise, at least.

At least with a knife, one, u dont run out of ammo, and two, i wont be captured alive.

Since you're obviously such a valuable operator.

( for as yet I am unworthy of the title. )

And yes, he plays Call of Duty.
