There is no news. What remains is 'Infotainment'.

This is what happens when you (as American Citizens) have sat idly by and allowed two administrations to dismantle the media ownership rules at the FCC level and cater to corporate interests over the citizens because corporate interents can make lager political donations.

I received an email as well. So I would wager within a week or so per normal ground shipping rates/times we should see our prizes.

I'm just happy to have won, and I hadn't made any plans yet just because I am dreading the breakdown and re-building of the big 'monstrosity' as my wife calls it. Hopefully it works better, then I'll do another mass RMA on the old equipment and see about ebay or something for the old stuff.

I've not been sending anything to the FS folks as once I found out someone else was sending them them emails etc I figured I didn't want to be a pest and add to their workload. In a way I am glad it wont arrive until this new year as if I had gotten it in 2007 I would have had to claim it on taxes and eat up some of my refund. :)

Ging9,

I haven't heard anything myself. All I received was a phone call a few weeks ago asking if I was a business. It was weird because they addressed me by name and then acted like they didn't need to talk to me, and I was confused.

I called back and was told that the reason they called was because of my membership on the SLIZone and I said.. ah yeah.. I just signed up.

I didn't learn until quite a bit later I had actually won something.

I've not heard anything since, was contemplating sending emails myself but was holding out a short while as I figured maybe the year end holidays had folks tied up.

Sorry I don;t have any more info for you.

Enk

I don't know if the original contest page has changed. When I initially entered I was under the impression that people who could join the SLI zone only needed to add their name to the contest group, and that those who were unable to join the SLI Zone were supposed to submit a 25 words or less post. I posted just because I wanted to put a message out there not because I thought it was required.

I do not know if anyone who is reading this message chain is the FiringSquad/nVidia crew but if they feel this was unfair I am willing to forego the prize if I am allowed to edit my message and hope for my name being considered again.

Thanks,

SLI-23209 Enkidu98

Please save me from my current monster. I've had to RMA parts and I just can't find whats wrong with my early adopter machine. It works but only in XP and then it crashes a lot and my new wife says no more PC expenditures!

Argh!

Edited to 25 Words:

I built an early adopter beast but several rma's of multiple parts later it is still unstable. My new wife says NO MORE PC Expenditures!

I'd already decided not to buy this game because of their business model with the subscription fee and players getting what should be considered standard abilities etc being tied to having a different sort of account. The addition of advertising in game really pushes it over the edge to a I'll not even bother to revisit my decision to not buy Hellgate.

» Really stupid looking...
Who knows what gameplay is like, but the over the top violence/blood gouts etc really look stupid. Like they should be in a cartoon based game and not a realism based game.

Ah well.

» Ironic Punishment
I think Michael Vick should be made to fight someone like LaVar Arrington with nothing but what he was born with for weapons.

Throw the two of them in a pit, and if Vick doesn't impress us with his 'gameness' then we shuold electrocute, hang, pick up and throw to the ground until dead, pop a cap in him.. etc as befits our whim at that moment in time.

One would think that this should violate some sort of Law.

What you do not realise is that this was not computer email, nor a company phone. This was hiring a private detective firm who somehow obtained the social security information for each of the directors and at least 9 reporters and fraudulently misrepresented themselves as the person and contacted their phone companies to illegally obtain private phone records and email them to various accounts that were on the surface not at all related to the person supposedly requesting the data.

Its an illegal practice in the state of California and also violates HP's own 'Standards of Business Conduct'. An employee who did the same would have been fired. A reporter doing the same to HP would have been sued.

» Reading Comprehension is your friend...
Syx, Might suggest you may want to read not only the chain of posts you're responding to, but the original article.

The first sentence of the original article should make things crystal clear for you.
