My favorite harvester unit response is "But what about the tiberium?".
The way he says it, completely concerned about not getting any more tiberium, in a shaky voice, all because you moved him away from the incoming attackers for a few seconds.
NEVER use Western Union. NEVER accept cashier's checks as payment. ALWAYS wait a week after the payment has "cleared" before processing any refunds or "oops I paid too much!".
The trick you describe is more commonly done with cashier's checks. The bank you take it to will say it's valid and give you the money. But all they're really doing is checking to see if it points to a real bank. Once that bank receives it for processing, they look at it and say "what the fuck is this shit you're trying to pull" and demand the money back from your bank.
Your bank then thinks you're a counterfeiter. You face not only the debt of the original check, the loss of the sent back "over paid" money, the loss of the item (if you've sent it), but you also face criminal charges if you can't cough up the original amount in a couple weeks.
Yes the bank knows about the scam. No, they don't believe you - they think you're in on it.
Seems to of me all the half-brained monkeys out there, we were the only ones to harness fire.
We know how to create and utilize electricity very efficiently. Politics and fear get in the way though. I didn't put "splitting the atom" in my list since there isn't really any one event about it. The results of the entire discovery process about the atom and being able to harness it's power are certainly significant, in terms of electricity generation generation, medicine, and war.
Landing on the moon may not be seen by many to be as significant as some of the other things, but I hope that one day (when we're actually out and about in space) we can look back on it and see that it's easily at the top of the list.
I didn't put writing because there's no singular defining event. Writing likely developed out of drawing squiggles in the sand, as an aid to crude pointing and gesturing, etc. You can't point to something and say "When first Grog drew a penis in the sand, writing was made.". At one point there had to be some first guy to see the usefulness in fire and to overcome the fear.
Sure, but we already had that before the internet - it's called radio. We had TV too. We had phones.
The internet as it is (separate from radio, tv, phones, etc) is not in itself significant, it is simply a progression.
The things I listed are not progressions (you could argue landing on the moon is a progression of flight, but srsly, no), but significant breakthroughs that changed shit forever.
Grey area my ass. It's illegal and you know it. Uploading or not.
I have never understood the pointless need of pirates to justify their illegal activities. Your excuses won't keep you out of a courtroom should you get targeted, and the judge won't give a shit about your interpretation of the law based on some shit you read online and agreed with.
Protip: Emulators are illegal, too, not just the roms. Check the DMCA and then go find an emulator that doesn't violate it through the use of reverse engineering and getting around copy protection/encryption schemes during development. The last major emulator to get in before the DMCA was Bleem!, and as such the court ruling that allowed Bleem! does not serve as precedent for future hypothetical cases. So stop pointing to it as "proof" that emulators are legal.
Then by the same token, the argument of preserving nature and the environment is retarded.
Climate is changing. It's changing slowly. It's natural. Outrage about humans contributing to it is about the same as outrage over the AIG bonuses. Species will die out. People will die. There's nothing we can do about it. It still makes sense to not do stupid things to the environment, like poisoning it (and us) with shit like mercury, drugs, and slashdot posts. It never makes sense to ban/limit things that DON'T actually harm the environment, like CO2, DDT, or Chromium 6.

But lets face it: If the world ever broke out into TRUE war (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. are not wars, they are political occupations), we'd be launching nukes.
What are you talking about? There is no gain. That's the point.
Standard UPS systems put out AC power. Google didn't want to pony up for the expensive systems that put out configurable DC power, or the expensive hardware that could take advantage of it
They wired up 12v batteries instead. Not special. Not ingenious. Not green. Yet they tout the efficiency of their batteries as if they have achieved some miracle and are giving us all a little peek.
Anything the president considers the internet is the internet. Any electronic communications could easily fall under this power grab. You want to argue about it? You're a terrorist.
You mean Conficker day, the day the entire internet would have exploded if not for the due diligence of the security researchers and software vendors and etc.
I'm just glad we didn't lose our super awesome "get it done" attitude we had back in Y2K. That was a close one, right guys? The whole world would have been doomed (DOOMED!) if it wasn't for the quick thinking and fast action that fixed the clock on Grandma's compaq presario.
It gives the power to the electoral college to do so.
A President could have every single vote from the people and the electoral college could elect some other schlub. The only thing preventing this is the fact that the electors are appointed by the very people who want to get elected.
There are rules about the electoral college and the assignment of votes in state constitutions, as well. The point is, the power to elect the president is NOT constitutionally placed with the people, not does it realistically rest with them.
Votes are bought, elections are gamed, and people like you fail to see that Republican and Democrat politicians are the same fucking liars, the same fucking morons, with the same bullshit year after year.
But by all means - trot out that "political spectrum" chart you learned about in highschool, and say "fascism is on the RIGHT! It's a FACT!".
From your OWN shitipedia link: "Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist ideology" Some would call Obama's jackknifing of the economy radical, his constant "cooperation" with congress and his remarks on dissent ("Look, we won.") authoritariana, and of course Obama is trying to improve America's standing politically and economically.
"that aims to create a single-party state" Which party controls the House? The Senate? The White House? All that's left is for a couple of justices to die off.
"with a government led by a dictator" Obama says it and it happens. He's not crushing anyone under an iron fist, but what he says goes. His popularity is his main weapon. Hell, he just kicked out the CEO of a private company.
"who seeks national unity" Yes we can? It's all about "we". And "change". And "working together". The man has won over the hearts and minds of tons of people. They follow him like groupies follow rock bands.
"and development" I keep hearing about "new jobs" (without the mention that you can't create jobs without creating physical demand, instead, you can only shift jobs/money/debt around), and our "infrastructure". I have no doubt though that this is all bullshit that will never come to fruition because he won't be able to actually create jobs, and because the infrastructure requires real work and we have a serious lack of real workers (we've got a lot of politicians, lawyers, marketers, and other white collar "workers" that we could put to use).
"by requiring individuals to subordinate self-interest to the collective interest of the nation or race." This one's too easy.
By the criteria listed in your own "evidence", many people could justifiably consider Obama a fascist. Whether or not you agree with them on a whole, or on specific points, is a matter of opinion.

Perhaps the science the judged the science was bad science.
We have a new data point (in a set of so few, it's significant) to support the science he used.

No, it doesn't.

Would Chris Hansen deciding to do some "in depth reporting" about his particular area of "expertise" be welcome at MSNBC?
The internet is nice and all, but it isn't exactly too significant in the grand scheme of things.
