Be a little more creative when intentionally modding somebody down than mod them "Redundant." As a matter of fact, I don't see how my comment is Redundant at all. I was asking a question about the question's moderation, that nobody had asked before. That's not redundant. At the very least, mod it "-1, Offtopic" if you want to add a little more believability into your cover-your-ass defense. Would SOMEBODY please enlighten me to this strange modding policy?
My karma is going to die from this post, but I don't really care anymore.
Mind posting your current Latitude/Longitude for my cruise missile? Because the only thing someone that heartless deserves is to die in a spectacular explosion which the rest of us can tape and post on Youtube.
I'm not sure if you realize exactly how traumatizing the sudden cardiac death of someone close to you can be. My dad died last year at 42 of a rare cardiac arrhythmia (Arrythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy), which he was never diagnosed with. One day while riding his bike he abruptly went into ventricular fibrillation, and despite EMTs attempts to revive him, died. The diagnosis was made in autopsy.
I have recently been diagnosed with the same condition.
This is not unlike an issue I discovered a little while back. An online application suite for schools designed for easy manipulation of databases containing student records was subject to SQL injection using the web interface. The web interface was designed for parents to get an up to date progress report for their child, or for students to select courses without resorting to paperwork.
Well, passing along the escape character (') to the login page returned the following message: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated
I played with this a little while, and eventually was able to mine my friend's student number. Figuring I should probably notify someone, I talked to my high school's technical department.
They put me on the line to the staff at the provincial team. I tell them about the problem and suggest that they contact the company that built the software to begin with.
They close the web interface, and contact the developer. Now, four months later, the issue STILL isn't patched on the thousands of other installs across North America. I tried directly contacting the developer, AAL Solutions. No reply. I finally dug up an email for the Independent School implementation of eSIS. It seems that the developer is still working on it. Slowly.
I never understood Second Life. Here's my experience with it.
Being underage, I loaded up the teen edition, logged in, and got started.
Or not.
For one thing, the load times are terrible. Because pretty much all the content is user-created, it must be loaded when you enter the area. Rather than have users wait for six hours at the load screen, the world loads and renders around you. This effect looks terrible. First the mesh of an object comes in - slowly and jerkily - and then remains gray until its texture loads.
After the area has rendered around me, I try to make my way around, stuttering with lag. It turns out the best way to get around in second life is to fly. So I try it, fly high up, only to see - surprise! - more buildings slowly coming into view.
I tried to give it a chance - I really did - but after about five minutes of graphical glitches and lag, I left the game and uninstalled it. I think I'm just fine with my first life, thanks.
From what I have read (can't remember the source), mammoth and Asian elephant are more closely related than the African elephant and Asian elephant. There has been at least one known African-Asian elephant hybrid, so it follows that mammoth and Asian elephant should be able to breed freely.
If that's true, then why wouldn't my local drug store sell me potent oxidizers? I could be starting an explosive new fad of explosives, using all my untapped teen purchasing power!
Nowadays we don't need to capture your territory for you and the Brits to kowtow to us. Hell, what little military you have is fighting *for* us. Why would we want to screw that up?
Interesting. You switch tactics once he brings up a valid point about the War of 1812.
And I doubt the American forces have enough firepower to *hold* Canada. Our country is massive, and we still have all your oil. Couple of charges on that pipeline, and - boom! - no more fuel for your tanks.

That didn't actually mean to do it...
Um, mods on crack?

This is the first comment. How is it redundant?
Does it remove Dihydrogen Monoxide from the water?

Careful, penguins can be very lethal.

Six triangles, not polygons? Pretty weird looking crate. That'll come out like a malformed pyramid.
I am a squirrel, you insensitive clod!
Fixed it for ya.
Remember, of course, that the Silmarillion was never finished.
I never did give the scripting language a try. I'll give it a shot, maybe it'll turn out differently this time.

Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia's AES entry:
Uzbekistan! They remove great glorious nation of Kazakhstan from list! Ready the catapults!
Suppose I could still no-cd it, since it's still on my hard drive and it is a full install...

Deus Ex, right?
That was looking to be a good game, until I lost the disc in the third mission...
