Zhang Fei Temple Digitally Remastered
gtaylor writes: "The Globe and Mail reports that the Three Gorges Zhang Fei Temple in China will be disassembled before the Three Gorges dam is completed (which will flood the area where the temple stands now), and reassembled somewhere drier. Meanwhile, the Canadian National Research Council has sent over some techs who have scanned the whole complex into super-accurate 3-D models as to be sure of rebuilding the temples precisely as they were."
TEMPLES RAWR
Sounds cool.
Hail to the king, baby!
What are you going to eat for dinner? Please answer truthfully.
Who gives a flying fuck Michael? Why don't you go beat off with Richard Gere or something while you chant Tibetan monk hymms.
Emily woke up. Oh no, I've wet the bed again! Emily was sad. Until, James showed up at her house and knocked on the door. Hi Emily, I overheard that you wet your bed again, and I brought you a surprise! "How did you know..." Here, I'll just come into your bedroom. Lay down on your bed. Okay, now don't mind me pulling down your pants and panties. Don't fight Emily. Lift up your legs. She took the phallus into her and started thrusting her hips uncontrollaby. James unfolded the soft clean diaper and taped it on Emily. He locked it! Emily ,whenever you need a change, you will have to ask me. YOu can call me on my cell phone, and I will come and change your diaper. Happy Wetting! Happy New Years!

What are you going to eat for lunch? I will have Ramen Noodles. Please answer. Please answer truthfully. Please do not moderate, under slashdot's new anti-moderation rules!
huh huh

Bloody hell! How many dollops fall for these adequacy.org guys?
>>"It executes thousands of them a year to sell their body parts! "
This is absolute bullshit. That is the part of the troll that is a complete lie.
>>"Just like the people who cared about the Buddha statues in Afghanistan, and got the U.N. to protest at levels unheard of since the Taliban came in, the int'l community opposes the dam because of the archeological wonders, not as much the people."
That part was nice though, since it is based on truth.
You know, moron, that the US is incredibly `socialist' (using socialist in the moronic way in which it has been applied to Canada): Every single aspect of your life that is paid for by public taxes (roads, police services, fire services) is a "socialist" service, so shut up wanker.
Off topic but true, so true.
You may have the model, but you still need equally-hi-rez textures for it. Any takers?
Oh, yeah, immigrants, by virtue of the circumstances of their birth have less right to live in Canada than you do. Right.
It's called the "Imperial" system, not "Units" system
I see the Canadian education system is leaps and bounds above its American counterpart, too.
I simply cant wait until we rid the earth of american scum like you.
"There are far, far better ways to provide both power, water, and flood control, and they'd be both a lot less environmentally destructive, and a lot safer to anyone living downstream of the dam."
Thats funny. Name them. Why mention there are far better ways and not name them?
Exactly. That is the point of the game. It is meant to be fun, and UT did this better than Q3. All the people who still play Q3 rely on mods for decent gameplay. ID software makes tech demos for their engines, that they call the Quake series. The gameplay is overlooked in favour of concentrating all the developer time on an engine.
Sweet, Zhang Fei is my favorite charecter from Dynasty Warriors and Kessen II.
I don't understand how borders, created by a political process that (say) Chinese immigrants had no part in, can have any effect on the rights of these same people to settle where they please, to have decent healthcare and honest police, and to live in a country with a democratic government.
Are people born in Canada somehow a master race? Is that why they deserve these things and the Chinese don't?
Finally, how does some other person choosing to move to your country diminish your rights? Do you have a right to keep them out? If so, where does that right derive from? Being born there? How can where you are born possibly effect the rights you have?
reforestation - This is one of the most heavily populated areas in the world here, it is not an option to reforest much of it.
levees, spillways, floodways - This will only go so far. I do not think it is feasible to do given how many millions of acres flood each moonson season. How many levees, spillways and floodways can you make?
creating a series of smaller dams - A serious of smaller dams, while indeed an alternative solution, is not necessarily better. What matters is how well each solution, a big dam, or several smaller, is implemented, and not choosing say smaller dams over one large one. Each solution has its own advantages and problems, one is not clearly better than the other.
reating the same dam but changing it's design, creating the same dam but not making it so incredibly shoddy - Well it would not be the 'same' dam then, would it?
Sure, I can think of good alternatives too, but much of it involves technology the US rather not fall into their hands.
Ah, then that's your problem. You see, most opposition is political, not about engineering. Most people simply don't want China to progress. Otherwise, they'd then have to find someone else to beatup on.
Then, by your suggestion, we should simply give up on airport security because our track record sucks.
