So I've just started watching E3, and quite honestly, I cannot STAND watching Microsoft's E3 conference. This is the most I have ever heard the word 'innovation' used incorrectly. Although this was a short rant, I just want to know, if you do watch E3, what do you think of it (particularly Microsoft's block)>

Bands like megadeath, metallica, iron maiden and many others have written some rather heavy thrash metal. Usually the guitarist ends up treating the entire song like a guitar solo, and screaming high vocals distinguish the genre from pretty much every other genre in existence. Personally, I've always felt like it's a bit much, but most thrash bands have a few interesting songs as well. What's your opinion of the genre?

When SMF 2.1 is released, will you upgrade right away, or will you wait for a bugfixing update? I can't wait for 2.1 imo, especially since it replaces this old post editor.

Across the pond, brits constantly complain about how 'incorrect' American English is. I think this is elitist, and it is silly to call a dialect of a language incorrect. (Webster wrote his dictionary to simplify English, not make it correct) What do you think?

The goal here is to get Poland into space. Use any method you can to get Poland into space. Example:
person 1: I send poland into space by giving it a jetpack!
person 2: I send poland into space by tech rushing to level 72!

I'll start:
I send Poland into space by giving it to NASA!

Personally, considering my internet download speeds are rarely above 1mbps, I can't say that I'm too pleased with my internet service. It never really blacks out completely, and it's faster than dial-up, so I'll rate it 2/5 stars.

How would you rate your ISP?

Personally, I love reading, whether it's the old classics or newer literature. I'm not exactly the greatest at it, but it's an enjoyable pastime. What's your vote?

Personally, I've loved both. If I had to pick between them, I'd go with Star wars, but both are undoubtedly classics. What's your vote?

For our coders, what do you think is the best format for the life cycle of a software (e.g. pre-alpha -> alpha -> beta -> gold) or in minecraft's case (/indev/ -> infdev -> alpha/beta basically the same lol -> gold [which is just glorified beta imo]). Or do you even follow a formalized development cycle?

Personally, I've always felt that the better reading out there has always been the classics, and those are usually very inexpensive. Then again, textbooks, "learn to program" guides, etc... Have become surprisingly pricey for what they are.. Often many exhaustive or expansive references are also very expensive, certainly charging much higher prices than what the cost to produce would warrant.

So the debate is, do you think books cost too much? Be sure to vote in the poll!
