Personally, I can't stand the idea of not knowing when I'm going to die, atleast a few seconds before the event; enough time to think about life and what I've done.

getting thrown off a building. that way i would have time to think "why the hell am i doing this." then i would die as a ghost and come back and haunt people. that would be ultimate PwNz0r
Sounds like what I'd like to do. A short time of the most fun of your life, and then a painless, knowing end.

To a sword, to me, that's the best way to go out, a sword through my gut, stopping to think, what went wrong?
A sword through the gut is a very painful way to die. Seppuku is suicide by disembowlment, yet most samurai that performed it had a second by them to cut their head off in the moment of agony.
Now, while I understand the difference between suicide and mistake in battle, it doesn't make it much less of a blindingly painful way to die.
