Well I would have thought a domain would have been to slow for game servers, the extra CPU cycles it takes to search verticely up. Maybe it's just me but I thought maybe high speed switches branching out with Port forwarding on the router although would have multiple points of failure would have been better for game servers. Although with so many servers I could see that becomming a problem.

the terrorist attack was the worste thing i have ever seen or heard of, and it reminds us that no matter how rich and powerfull our countries might be we ar not invincible by far, to anyone. it was a pretty good wake up call

its something im reminded of almost everyday.

There was unity one time in my life and it started Sept 12, 2001. Its 2004 now and that unity is long gone. People have forgotten what happened. Its good that people take time to remind others that seem to forget.

Its easy to transmit those feelings that we had on that horrible day to anger. For me at least. We need to find the terrorists that turned our worlds upside down and give them a reckoning day.

I remember that flash, I sent it once to people on my ICQ list back in 2002, had a bunch of people flaming me for it after because "it is something we do not want to be reminded of."

Does that make it ok? We cannot and absolutely must not forget....

God speed to all those who valiantly lost their lives on 9/11/2001.

Since I have been here at the forums only since last July. I had never noticed this thread. Since what happened in London recently I did a search on the threads. Thus finding this. I watched that video for the first time today. I know I will never forget what happened that day. I was in 6th grade when it happened, while on the way to school on the bus. I remember that very day sitting in class at the end of the day. Since they had chosen not to tell anyone what had happened till the end of the day. When they were giving the end of the day announcements over the intercom...The lady that always did it...was crying and said "there has been a tragedy in our nation" or something like that...I will never forget that day when I got home and sat in front of the television that night. Like agent commando said we must not forget this or the people that have died in terror attacks and war.

I also just saw this for the first time today and read the complete thread.

Please let's not rehash this again, but I do want to make a comment.

Impressive means:

Making a strong or vivid impression; striking or remarkable

That is an extremely accurate adjective to use; that day made a very strong and vivid impression on me and I will never forget it.

I can't believe noone has done this yet...

The discovery channel is playing a show about flight 93...

I am watching that now. It is very sad. It also makes me very angry. It is easy to say, but you feel like telling them, if only they would of fought back stronger, they could have overwhelmed the terrorists. Not just on flight 93, but all of them. I know that is in retrospect, but it is just frustrating.

When 9/11 happened it was such a helpless feeling at first, like, are we this easy to attack and destroy? Will this just happen over and over again? Then when we heard that flight 93 crashed or was shot down (that was the first story I heard) it felt a little better, in a way. Then when we started to hear that the passengers on Flight 93 fought back and that's what caused the plane to crash, it was like a shot in the arm. It sounds morbid, but felt so proud that those people denied the terrorists their mission. I sort of felt like we would be ok after that, that we weren't helpless.

I think that the American media (**this is not directed at CodeRed's tribute**) uses those images to keep people motivated/outraged at terriorism. I think this is done on behalf of the US government. Their war is faltering, I read a stat recently that said the US military is spending more per day now in Iraq than it did in Viet Nam. When will more people start questioning the motivations of Bush's administration?? The deaths in the WTC was a horrible, horrible tragedy, but why did these terrorists attack in the first place. Instead of accepting the media images shoved down their throats, Americans need to know the history of their foreign policies. Look at South America in the 60s and 70s. Look at the Middle East in the 70s and 80s....America has a big resposiblilty not just to help the world, but to fix the problems it has already created.

forget I said any of this.
America can't help the world with it's problems, America is in debt to it's eyeballs. If you're broke right now, you're 7.9 trillion dollars richer than America. Every man woman and child owes $26 grand, plus whatever personal debts they might have.

Me too...Discovery did an amazing job of making this documentary of the events that transpired on 9/11...It is so sad how they are showing all the families of the people on the plane...It really touched me when the gentlemen who talked about how he idolized the soldiers of Gettysburg who wrote letters to there wives and put them on trees and went on to fight and die...and how he asked himself what he would do in the situation, and how much courage he would have.... He definitely had as much courage as the soldiers in Gettysburg by marching on to bring down the plain thus saving the white house...

I still can't believe it happened...

Remember the people that died, not the cause of why we were attacked.

Let that debate settle so that in 50 years people can look back and see who was right and who was wrong...

Like most of you, I can remember everything I saw, heard, and did that day.

I was a freshman in high school. It was actually like our 5th or 6th day in school at the time. I was sitting in the cafeteria, with my friends and then a senior we knew and were friends with sat down with us. He said something about planes crashing into the WTC, but he knew nothing specific. At first, I thought it was an accident. I mean, to be honest, eventually an accident like that was bound to happen. Little did I know the world as I knew it would change just 20 minutes later in my next class.

After walking to my english class, with no english teacher to be seen, rumors started spreading in class. Minutes later, my teacher walked in, visibly upset and shaken. I knew it had to do with the WTC. She didn't say anything, but walked to her desk and sat down. Not too long after, an announcement was made over the PA system. I don't remember the exact words my principal used, but he did tell us about what he knew happened in NYC and the Pentagon. Shortly after that, we heard what happened with Flight 93, although at the time no one knew the passengers had even attempted to attack the terrorists on board. I found out later that my teacher's father worked close to the WTC, but was safely out of NYC.

The rest of the day in school was shot for all of us. I honestly don't remember if we were let out early or not because of what happened. I do remember walking home though and finding my stepmom home from work. She works for the EPA and they let her and everyone at her job out for security reasons and posted armed MP's all around the EPA facility she works at. She was watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox, NBC, ABC, and BBC. Each one had the same images, the same stories. I remember just sitting down, staring in awe as events unfolded and were replayed over and over again.

I was forced to sit through classes all day, it was my 7th grade year. Nobody at my school seemed to quite understand what had happened except for my math teacher. Everyone else continued to teach. Quite frankly, i hold somthing against alot against every one of my teachers that kept us uninformed as the event rolled out. My principal made an announcement over the intercom near the end of the day, didnt make much difference.
I had no idea what was going on until i got home later that day. When i found out, i didnt know what to think, still dont.
