256 is under-rated, some games look like they actually have more colours:

Personally, I find Naddur Ban Dok to be more seriously funny than Ben Stiller ...

I never got that far in the game to actually see what naddur ban dok has to say.
You don't have to be funny to get into hollywood comedies, you just have to be Jewish.

there has got to be a way to cross check MW and EIBM's posts to see if their IP addresses (and posting times) match.

We don't even live in the same country. We're just active members.

No we're two separate entities. Here's a small list of differences if you're so interested:
#1 I have a great taste in baroque music (and my favourite being harpsichord solos).
#2 A huge advocate of pretty much all IBM computers (I spent $300 on my new intellistation -- I doubt MW would spend that much on a core2duo computer).
#3 Computer games are a large interest of mine, I have a huge collection of vintage PC games; along with gamecube/wii ones. I also have modern games and did beta test starcraft II.
#4 If you're observations were keen enough, my spelling isn't American English, rather based upon the British standard which is used in Canada.

And I don't really use computers that aren't IBM, I probably wouldn't have salvaged a gateway2000 tower if I seen it (it doesn't have MMX; and I need MMX for games). Also, my style of writing greatly differs. In fact, some words of my vocabulary (if one can sparsely see them) are seldom used by other individuals. I also have an issue with "misplaced modifiers" I believe they're called; however it adds to my character of writing.

Although, I'd really like to know who made that "EverythingDell" account. Probably ch_123 or someone of the sorts.

Those differences are right.
#1 I'm a big country fan.
#2 I'm dirt cheap (I don't care if it's IBM) with comptuers.
#3 I don't play computer games.
#4 I use American English and am not the best at grammar.

And plus, EIBM's a college student and I don't even have a college degree.

It actually still runs in windows 7 64-bit. Solid programming I must say.

Yes, but you two have so much in common:

1. You're both idiots.

My theory: everyone I've ever met on the internet is one troll with five hundred heads who make infinite accounts and constantly troll each other about politics and keyboards and stuff. Nothing on the internet is real, there are only like ten real users aside from the troll. Therefore EverythingIBM, Microsoft Windows, ch_123, and Wellington, you are all a part of the troll and your constant self-trolling is getting annoying. Kapisch?

He will if the manifold exceeds Data's ability to process the infinity algorithm.
