It would tell me who not to trade with, who not to vote for, and where not to live, among other things.
If you don't want to live around anyone who has a gun in the house then I think you'll probably have move to another country. Because this country is saturated. Even in the most liberal towns you're going to have trouble.
It is a game, the iportant thing is that everyone is playing by the same rules.
No it's not. There are a limited number of each letter. If one letter becomes easier play, and there's only one of that letter, then the person who drew it gets an unfair advantage.
Whoa...hold on. Are you qualified to comment on the expertise of everyone here? Do you have a masters in expertiseology?
We're all allowed to make comments here. Believe it or not, you don't have to be a martian geologist to have anything intelligent to say on this.
Yes and the NRA has teamed up with the Gun industry for decades to create a situation that ensures that guns are so plentiful that criminals have no problem obtaining one
Over the last 15 years, the three things I can think of that have caused sales to sky rockets are 9/11, electing a Democrat president, and Obama's latest control talk. NRA and gun industry had nothing to do with it.
Another thing is passion, if they aren't passionate about their job and are just looking for a paycheck, that's not the type of programmer I'd look for. Do they read up and better their craft in their free time with little programming projects on the side?
That might work for young programmers. But older guys have may have little time for side projects. They have families.
He made a vague prediction about a "red meteor" in 1981...mentioned no dates or size. Then in 2008 he spoke of it again, this time specifying dates and size.
If we can say that for every 1 out of X people born, a genius is born and Y number of them never get the proper education and Z number of them don't get enough food to stifle their genius or starve them to death... then the fact that we're growing 1 billion people a decade, and more of them are fed properly and more of them are getting an education, then we must have more bright people now than we did...before.
There's more bright people now than in any point in history. Population is way up. Education is way up. Opportunity is way up. There are bright people everywhere.
I'd love to see someone try to make a career out of this! Pick a game like WOW and then advertise that you will make the game hell for whoever for a fee in an attempt to get them to quit.
Depends on the game mechanics. I don't play WoW, but I bet it's pretty hard to grief others. Most MMOs these days are like that. It would be easy in EVE though.
There's likely a line of millions of people (myself included) who would happily line up to risk their own life for such a step forward in mankind.
Same here. Considering I'm a smoker, I'm already bound to an early demise. Getting Alzheimers ten years earlier than I normally would is a small price to pay to be among the first people on Mars. Some people just have no sense of adventure.
No amount of engineering, terraforming, or any other science fiction magic will ever make any other body within human reach survivable for long, and certainly not without HEAVY and CONSTANT support from earth.
Seems to be similar to ridiculous statements like:
“Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.” — Lord Kelvin
“The energy produced by the breaking down of the atom is a very poor kind of thing. Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” — Ernest Rutherford, shortly after splitting the atom for the first time.
“There is practically no chance communications space satellites will be used to provide better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United States.” — T. Craven, FCC Commissioner
“To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth - all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances.” — Lee DeForest
But seriously, is there all that much difference between any of them? Just because we can trace these two churches back to their wacko founders, doesn't mean the other older churches weren't founded by wackos too.

Asteroids are concentrations of minerals.

Don't be a shithead. There's an element of chance and an element of skill. You know this but you're just being a smart ass.
Sorry, is this the wrong kind of nerd news story? If only slashdot had some kind of system where the users could decide what stories to show.

What are they doing? Eating, sleeping, watching TV, masturbating. It can't be that interesting.

It's just a shame that bright people are scarce.

Forgot to mention...in EVE there already are mercenary corps that do this sort of thing.

And yet that wood-chopping simulator is still running and profitable today using 15 year old graphics.
Our roads in North America in general are much more straight than turn
Speak for yourself flat lander. I live in the mountains...there are no straight lines here.
i don't know alot of mormonism, but scientology has been known to harass, abuse, threaten ex-members, people who disagree with them etc. etc
This is true. Mormonism seems to run the same way as other churches. Scientology seems to operate like the US government.
I think he was joking.
though even that holds its own against the M3
Drag racing hardly qualifies as holding its own. Real race cars have to turn sometimes.
