Superman embodies our best impulses. Superman is excellent to everyone.

Be the actualization of your best impulses. Be excellent to one another.
This is an imaginary story (which may never happen, but then again may) about a perfect man who came from the sky and did only good. It tells of his twilight, when the great battles were over and the great miracles long since performed; of how his enemies conspired against him and of that final war in the snowblind wastes beneath the Northern Lights; of the women he loved and of the choice he made between them; of how he broke his most sacred oath, and how finally all the things he had were taken from him save one.

It ends with a wink.

It begins in a quiet midwestern town, one summer afternoon in the quiet midwestern future. Away in the big city, people still sometimes glance up hopefully from the sidewalks, glimpsing a distant speck in the sky…but no: it's only a bird, only a plane--Superman died ten years ago.

This is an imaginary story…

Aren't they all?

    Podly sent me a lengthy PM, which isn't really necessary to repost here, that explained in detail where exactly we had a misunderstanding and how I misconstrued the intentions of his questioning and argument in the worst possible light.

    Given this, I feel it's appropriate to publicly apologize to Podly for being rude and insulting towards him, and misinterpreting him without giving him sufficiently more room to explain his intentions and meaning further. I was impatient with him, and rude, and in hindsight I should have given him far more latitude and patience to make his point on a subject that is, at the best of times, esoteric.

    I was not hesitant at all to vocally and publicly belittle and rebuke him for what I perceived as sophistry and condescension, and given that he has made every reasonable effort to clarify that this was not his intent, I feel I am beholden to make an equal effort to vocally and publicly admit I was wrong and apologize to him for the misunderstanding.

    This, I have done.

    I'm currently running Windows XP, so am I to assume an increase in performance, or was Vista just shit at managing memory in comparison to 7?

    Either way, I think I'm gonna go for it and maybe see if I can make room in my budget for more RAM. Probably not, but I'll see.

    what is infinite crisis

    er, sorry, Crisis on Infinite Earths

    like prior to '86 or whatever, all of DC comic's characters had been involved in so many time travel and alternate world plots that there were a bunch of different timelines and like 3 versions of superman on different earths in alternate realities and it was really super convoluted

    so DC created this big event across all of their comics that sort of rebooted everything in one timeline/reality to make it more manageable and jettison all of the decades of crazy cruft
