The only trend I've surely noticed is there's a lot more games coming out that always need more everything and deliver a lot less (unless you go by the face counts and seizure inducing flashes).
I don't know, I'm really just starting to lose interest in games in general, it's hard to find good stories in games compared to how damn many are coming out now.
The only problem is that they probably started this system to cut on costs and cut out human error. I doubt they'll actually put in any protection or change the system, they'll just try to crack down on people that commercialize it like blueboxing and cable descramblers.
Improvements are learned from people making mistakes and seeing how it can be done better. How many planes have been flown into mountainous buildings to date? How many do you think it takes to make a proper analysis? How might this compare to a bomb or a fire? How is it different?
No, seriously, how can you claim for hundreds of people that you don't know that running into a gigantic, burning building during what many people might be afraid is the beginning of a war that they didn't even have the willies?
I'm pointing out the logical fallacy, not the material the firefighter's testicles might be made out of. The poster tried to use this claim to support an argument.
And I don't know the facts, I don't have the slightest understanding of the incredible level of science involved trying to calculate all of this, and these people who say there's some big conspiracy seldom have any better of an understanding than I do.
I want logic, I want science, I want to trust in studies and peer review, I don't want to believe a bunch of panicky idiots.
The problem I'm seeing is this is an ideological argument more often than a scientific argument. Statements like "Let's bring up the sheer number of people that died to prove my point" are painful and things like "Because you're assuming that these people you believe to know more than you do about this stuff are right then you must be an idiot" just leaves me flabbergasted.
Hell, Nintendo is STILL selling them. People are STILL buying them. IMO they deserve those sales when they manage to make something that stays relevant for such a long time.
I never thought about it that way, I just thought Nintendo were prudes but at least they're not burying the games while keeping the 'rights' in a chokehold.
That's why firefighters had no fear whatsoever of going in there.

I don't need any research to tell me that if you fly a large passenger airplane into a building then something really bad going to happen to it.
As far as WTC7, I've seen a whole neighborhood burned down in less than an hour because of one house catching on fire, I'm strangely led to believe that something on a much larger scale could have similar effects.
This is a fun idea, but what's really important about using a keyboard for some people, especially people who've been resistant to picking up mice whenever they don't really have to, is that they keys are always where they're supposed to be.
For an auxiliary device, though, this would be great, something you could prop up behind your keyboard, something you could bear to look at to see what you're doing a moment while you choose where to push.
As a regular keyboarding device, those little dots on keys, U and H for my dvorak keyboard, can mean a whole lot less frustration when you're jumping between tasks with your hands like writing down things for people.
This isn't really so ridiculous, even as a seeing pedestrian who doesn't always have the luxury of sidewalks in my mid west town, I've become pretty comfortable to hearing when cars are coming up behind me so I know to step off the street.
I suppose what I'm really listening for isn't the engine itself, though. My focus is on the breaking wind and the tires rolling against the road. Lighter cars moving slower but still quite fast enough to destroy me completely aren't so obvious, so even their low HP gas engines can sneak up on me.
Now the only problem is, if we make quite cars louder for the blind, does that mean it's only fair to make cars brighter for the deaf?
Correlation is not causation. There may just be something in common with longer lifespans and polygamy, like hormones, lifestyle, attitude... hundreds of things.
Oh, good. I'm so happy and stuck in my little life that I'd be wrecked at the thought at something like this, I'm already in debt and I have student loans out. I don't think I could handle taking it to court.
Of course, I don't share any music or movies, my wireless is secure, and I'm the only one who uses my computer.
I bet the whole court thing isn't easy at all, all the stress over something that's gotten so ridiculous. I hope she finds some relief in the settlement, but it would have been really nice to have another person fighting back.
I really think society needs police, not necessarily pure of heart or perfect of judgment. What the police need to truly be are the role models of law, as if when you turn a corner it seems the law will be there.
I mean the fabric of law, the shared belief that we don't have things to fear from our neighbors because they have no more desire to do any harm than anyone else would.
It's not even enforcement that the police are most important for, it's what they stand to be, like flags yet not nationalism, sentinels yet not always watching, intimidating yet still our allies.
Admiration is the vital half that keeps us smiling, Fear is the other vital half that wipes that dirty smirk off our faces.
My ancient Pismo Powerbook running OS X seemed like it would be much more useful if I installed NTFS-3G on it so I could use my external (NTFS) hard drive and watch movies and play music, because it certainly has the power to decode the video.
The only problem was, after I started using it everything really slowed down, it was taking half of my processor just to access file on the hard drive.
I guess my only real option is to find an old firewire hard drive I can format in HFS.
You're desires are fair, but the problem that the author of the article is addressing, not to say that was your reference, is that it's only getting harder to defend against the drug users and the only practical response is to stop fighting it.
A three million dollar dragster ought to be obvious enough for someone to tell them to GTFO.
A heavyweight boxer is another pretty obvious thing.
Steel plates is knuckles is a pretty easy to detect thing, maybe they could be a little more creative and us delrin, but, yeah.
The problem isn't the unfairness, the problem is how covert this unfairness can be.

Nice.

All I knew for sure was some people made money off of selling them. :3
Tolled roads are very abnormal in Canada, but this one works reasonably well.
I first read that as "Trolled", silly me!

I had an 'all you can get' plan with Cox for a few weeks, but then one day someone came to my door wanting to see why my modem was uncapped.
It is totally possible to accidentally upload the exact payload necessary to lift my 3 meg limit to my cable modem.
That's why firefighters had no fear whatsoever of going in there.

That's so sad u.u

Exactly.
What is your field?
Correlation is not causation. There may just be something in common with longer lifespans and polygamy, like hormones, lifestyle, attitude... hundreds of things.
That's AMAAAAAAAAAZINNNNNG!
Wait, what? You can change one element into another?

The only way law enforcement can truly hold any power over mind is if the command equal parts fear and admiration.
With this lack of discretion becoming more common, people are losing both.

I'm afraid you've got me there. LSD is the drug I intentionally didn't mention because I knew it's effects of omnipotence was irrefutable.
