There's a version of Avanti which has the offense start with the flag, and have to move it to the point, and which point it is changes over time. There's also a one-way CTF map called stb_cowtown which has only one team trying to get the flag, and the other team defending, and a total of 4 flags on the map.
Left 4 Dead was pretty clearly rushed out, and the 360 version still suffers from all the bugs- though that is going to be dealt with in a few weeks, it seems.
Without knowing specifically what the questions are that they were asked, it's impossible to tell whether this is relevant or the result of your usual right-wing persecution complex being fueled with a hackjob poll and repeated ad nauseam without any of the details (I've seen this sort of figure cited multiple times but never seen the original poll it supposedly came from) until everyone else believes it because it's been repeated so often.
Let's take the first one you listed- gays- and run with it.
Do you believe that homosexuality is an abomination? Yes (Conservative) No (Liberal)
Oh look, the media has a liberal bias! (We're not going to mention the fact that if you phrase the question like this the entire population would have a liberal bias.)
When it comes to something like this, always, always look at the original from the pollster; or else ignore it because there's no way anyone else can tell whether it's credible or not.
Except, of course, that Jesus also says plenty of things that are hardly peaceful- "Sell your robes and buy a sword", that he "brings not peace but a sword"; and of course, that nasty little bit about how he plans to separate families...
There are at least a half-dozen quotes in the bible saying that unbelievers should be killed, and a bunch more saying that people who perform certain actions (which aren't unethical from a secular perspective) should be killed. And of course, there's "be not yoked with unbelievers".
It's not a Quran-specific thing. All the Abrahamic religions have no respect whatsoever for those outside of the religion. The mentality boils down to nothing more than "hate everyone who's not one of us".
The problem is that internally the game "knows" where you are- after all, it has to track your location.
Every play against someone in counterstrike who was hacking? Wallhacks, aimbots, the whole nine yards? There's really nothing at all stopping the developers from doing that; and in fact some older games basically did do that, just with arbitrary delays before the AI snapped on you, deliberate fudge factors on accuracy, whatever it took to make the difficulty level sane for a human player.
It's possible to compartmentalize it, of course, so it doesn't know that; but you as a player have no idea which approach they took. If the AI is incredibly good in a game, it's possible it's "cheating" and doesn't really have to deal with hidden information.
Well, in Tolkien's mythos the Orcs were Moriquendi (Dark Elves) that Morgoth captured and twisted to create a new race; because he could not create anything of his own but could only pervert the creations of Iluvatar.
It's really quite amazing how much of a persecution complex conservatives have. They've been a huge part of political discourse for most of the past 40 years (and dominated since the early '80s) yet constantly scream that everything is biased against them.
If your worldview contradicts scientific evidence, it's not "bias" to point out that your worldview is wrong. There's no "anti-conservative bias" in pointing out the massive debt incurred by the Reagan and Bush administrations and the negative impact those have on the economy. There's no "anti-conservative bias" in pointing out that creationism is utter bullshit and evolution is the reality.
If reality has a "liberal bias" then the conservatives should stop being so fucking deranged, not complain that the media is reporting the truth.
I've got a friend who follows the disabled-awareness movement (for lack of a better term) and there's a surprising amount of them who use the term gimp.
I didn't say McCain, I said GOP. There was a ton of race-baiting coming from lower-down party members, and party hacks that call themselves "journalists".
Religion has zero scientific credibility; as such, it is pointless to discuss religious "reasons" for anything.
If someone manages somehow to prove that a specific religion is correct, then we'll obviously have to rethink things. Until then, the default working assumption is that the religions are nothing more than mythology. (See: Null hypothesis.)
Wait, that's pretty fucking obvious. If you only allow teenagers ages 17-19 to drive a car, you're going to have a lower rate of teenagers IN CARS than a state that allows teenagers aged 15-19 to drive.
Talk about skewing the data for propaganda purposes.
It is. There's also a browser called epiphany, as well as a kid's educational game called epiphany- so you have to issue "apt-get install epiphany-browser" to get the browser on Ubuntu.
Java uses "this" though, so you're not too far off. But it's not really used for the same purpose; in Ubiq, "this" refers to "the selected text" whereas in an OO language, this/self/whatever refers to the object that's currently performing the method in question.

The Coca-Cola Co. formulated "New Coke" based on the Diet Coke recipe. Coke Zero is literally the standard Coca-Cola with a different sweetener.

How about we ignore bronze age mythology and have a rational discussion about this matter?
You might be on to something. Whenever I hear Dane Cook, I'm sorry I heard him.

Then you're not doing it right.
I didn't say McCain, I said GOP. There was a ton of race-baiting coming from lower-down party members, and party hacks that call themselves "journalists".
I'd blame the GOP's race-baiting tactics for that, not "minority racism".
That may well be my crowning achievement in video gamery.
I've since retired from Nethack, simply because I don't have the patience for any more of it. Good luck to this year's players.
A woman cannot marry a woman. A man can marry a woman. This is clearly sexual discrimination.
Case closed.
Clearly, I cannot drink the wine in front of you!

These browsers need to stop repeating names.

So if you're born on the wrong side of an invisible line in the sand, you're worthless. So much for "all men are created equal", huh?
