Well, I finally hit the 25,000 post mark. My posting rate has slowed the past couple of months as I've been dealing with work and other personal matters, but I still drop by Neowin every free minute that I can. Some people like me, some people don't, but I love this place regardless. As usual, I just wish to thank a few people who make my stay here that much better:

bigbluepride35: Best friend of 18 years, what else should I even bother saying that hasn't been said?

MusicalAngel: Another good friend who just happened to have me force her to sign up to Neowin lol.

Homer: I think we spend more time insulting each other than talking, but it's the best way to be.

Agentsmith: My boy, the supe. We don't get much time to talk anymore, but I definitely am thankful to have you on staff

BoogSoftball: Another supe that I'm glad to have around. You're around whenever needed and that's what counts most.

fred666: You settled into your role as supe nicely and I really respect how you do things.

BroChaos: You still need to get Xbox Live so I can kick your ass in MVP 2005.

blackice912: It's a shame our plans for the awards fell through, but you are definitely one of the coolest people to work with.

Aaron: Not much to say other than you're a cool guy that I always enjoy talking to.

Joel: Sarcastic and appreciates the home theater.....that's worth something in my book.

To every Neowin member who has stopped by and commented on my blog, thank you.

...and of course a special thanks and nod to all the people who stop by and post in the Home Theater forum. It's probably my favorite area of this site, but it definitely needs to be more active. So stop on in people.

Man, I don't even know who else to thank. I'm sure I forgot someone, but oh well. In the end, I'm simply thankful for everyone who gives me a place to talk about technology and the world around us. I'm sure I've ticked a fair number of people off and there's been a few times it almost cost me certain privileges, but, in the end, I simply want to give every member a chance to enjoy this place as much as I do. I'm out of words and thoughts, now, so I will leave it at that.

Here's to the next 5,000......

Congrats bangbizzle.

He's probably going to ask that you never call him that again lol.

Way to go man. Such a geek but since you've saved my various technological euipment countless times I can deal with it :p . Even though the mp3 player only lasted like two weeks extra :whistle:

But I know how much effort yoiu put into contributing to this place so in all seriousness congratulations.

    • Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
    • I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
