Steam have it for 4,99$ today. Couldn't let that pass!

Been playing since I was in junior high, I'm a sophomore in college now and it's the only game I can sit down and play for hours on end and not get bored. TF2 and L4D1&2 get boring after a while. Carpal Tunnel thy name is Counter Strike Source

Yeah CS is the one of the most popular multiplayer games worldwide. I used to play it years ago. Just got it on Steam :)

I've wondered the same thing, apparently I've had the misconception that Mac owners and gun owners were mutually exclusive. MacRumours Forums proves that wrong.

Guns are an effective way of keeping burglars away from your igadgets, that's why.

I do not want to sound like an old timer but CS: Source is the worst CS there has ever been. Can't even compare with 1.6 IMHO.

One of the reasons I wouldn't like to live in certain parts of the USA (or any place where gun posession is legal). I don't feel comfortable knowing everyone I see might be carrying a gun. And sometimes, there are those guys who put two pump action shotguns in the cab of their pickups. Ridiculous people :rolleyes:

Yes, it's obvious that if a person gets within 5 feet of a gun, they will succumb to an uncontrollable urge to go on a killing streak. :rolleyes:

No, but people can live just fine all over the world without having a gun with them. Really, imagine you have a car accident with some guy in one of those trucks? You can't even be safe to have a discussion with him, because he might just be pissed and shoot you.

In any case, your mind is probably made up on the idea that people need firearms with them to be safe just as I have my mind made up with the contrary, but this is off topic and an argument probably won't change your opinnion, and it won't change mine either. "I may not agree with one word of what you say, but I will defend your right to say it until the day I die" :rolleyes:

That's a nice story to keep yourself scared with, but the truth is confrontations (such as your car wreck scenario) happen all the time with people who have guns on or near them, and it's is very rare that someone actually goes 'postal'. It just doesn't happen like that.

That is SO small! Awesome!

@jknight8907 Well yes, it's all just cultural. Americans are way more open to gun ownership in general than most cultures. ;)

Where did you buy this tiny thing?

It is a lexar echo ze 32gb. You can find them on amazon or on ebay, and I got mine for $80.

Yes second this question - I am looking for a large capacity flash drive, but don't want to spend too much. How are the transfer speeds on these drives?

Transfer speeds suck. But it is a large capacity for a tiny drive meant to stay plugged in for incremental back ups. It is basically going to sit stowed on my macbook air and hold some music and movies =).

Also picked up this bose ae2. Bose sucks yes yes, and I would rather have grados, but they are open air. My requirements are 1) comfortable 2) closed 3) smallish. Tried these at target the other day, and they felt very very good.
