You can't actually knock someone down with a bullet unless it's also powerful enough to knock down the guy firing it. In which case it would go straight through anyway (which most non HP bullets tend to do).
...they used to go after gun manufacturers all the time. The only thing that stopped them was a law passed under Bush, The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms act. (that is a rather crappy Wikipedia entry, but you get the idea)
Unfortunately, because Illinois is evil, they continue to bring lawsuits against gun companies, for the crime of...making guns.
I have two eyes, but no stereo depth perception because they focus on very different points (even with a prism in my glasses my brain refuses to let them form one image, see "horror fusionis").
Stereoscopic vision is not the most important part of perceiving distance, objects that are further away seem smaller, objects close to you pass in front of objects further away (observe birds with no overlap in field of vision bobbing their heads to get an idea of distance).
We already simulate single eye 3d pretty effectively, minus focusing.
Actually I am running Vista64 Home and Games For Windows worked just fine. And really I get pretty decent framerates on the game at 1650x10something. Must be the 6gb of RAM.
My favorite part is that you have to run it from the Rockstar Social Club launcher, but if you are logged IN to the social club it crashes with an MMA10 error. Or maybe my favorite part is that you have to be connected to Games For Windows to create SINGLE PLAYER SAVEGAME. Yeah, that makes sense.
Oh, there are bugs in Far Cry 2 that I haven't seen yet?
I like how if you use a mounted gun, the only way you can stop is by pressing "E", the default key. It doesn't matter what you bind it to, you have to use "E". I loved it the first few times when in the middle of combat I had to frantically hit evry key on the keyboard trying to figure out how to leave the turret.
I also got stuck in Mike's Bar because it wouldn't let me open the door. I reloaded 3 saves before I could leave.
I always wished there would be a good USB charger for a generator hub like the the Son Dynohub (or even Shimano Nexus). I used to have plans of building one to be in-line with a generator headlight, but alas, I am lazy.
You've obviously never worked at an orthopaedic office.
A large number of our repeat customers were simply there seeking drugs. Sometimes we could hear them talking on their cellphone while in their room selling the prescription to someone while they were still in our office.
Almost all of them were on KY Medicaid complaining about the injustice of their $2 copay.
Since I am right now paying off a $15,000 hospital bill because my appendix had the audacity to attempt to burst 3 months before insurance started at my new job, I'll agree with you here.
The original bill was $39,000 from the hospital, but I got their "assistance" and it was reduced to $15,650. I still had $3,000+ of other bills in addition (surgeon, anesthesiologist, radiologists...).
The part that pisses me off is I used to work in a doctor's office, I saw the fee schedule.
For some MRIs (for example) a patient with no insurance would be charged $1500+. Blue Cross would have to pay $1,000. Medicaid would give us three hundred bucks.
The only reform I want to see is to insist that everyone is charged the same amount for the same services. I don't want the amount to be dictated, but each hospital/doctor can figure out what to charge, and make everyone pay THAT.
Then there could actually be competition and comparison shopping (shocking, I know).
That's weird. I always saw self-reliance and decisiveness as conservative traits (hence the anti-welfare stance and the fact that conservatives tend to have a more black/white worldview, and Bush is criticized for jumping into action too soon and sticking to previous decisions).
I wouldn't say that they only use the Bible, a lot of them introduce many things that are not outlined or even mentioned in the bible.
It's why I'm a member of the Church of Christ--they go really far out of their ay to make sure that everything that is done has biblical example.
Some things I disagree on (I don't see it forbidding instrumental music in churches), but on the other hand, it doesn't REQUIRE it either, so playing it safe should work pretty well. Also I don't like organs anyway.
Wow, you've just reminded me of every reason that I completely and utterly despised college.
Except "Three quarters of the professors have exactly zero understanding of the subject they're supposed to be teaching", but maybe that was just my department at my college.
The notice on the screen reminds me very much of the screen that used to come up when you exited DOOM. Thanks for playing, thanks for paying, if you didn't pay we might format your hard drive. Amusing and makes you want to give them money if you didn't.

Even better, it can be stored INSIDE the mouse if you disconnect it for some reason.
I have the VX450 nano (I can't stand scroll wheels without detents) and am constantly surprised at how good it is.
I always find it difficult to understand that people can't see the difference.
Strapping a bomb to yourself and blowing up kids in a shopping mall = terrorism
Staging attacks on military forces = not terrorism
But the eye is more sensitive to blue light than to red (in dark conditions), so shouldn't blue tinted be better for seeing than red tinted?
Witness: My watch, with its blue "indiglo" backlight, will light up my bedroom at night, but in daylight the light from it is impossible to detect.
The red-illuminated alarm clock on my nightstand appears to be of equal brightness whether the room is completely dark or it is very bright.
Cones and rods don't have the same low light color sensitivity.
I thought it sounded very much like the saddle sores that cyclists can get from a maladjusted bike.

Personal responsibility? You must be new here.
Yes, we call it parallax.

It would be awesome if a ghost came out.
Note:
If you bought it from Steam you can't use any command-line options, unless there is a workaround that someone has figured out.

I'm sure they will be able to soon.

It has definite potential, but it needs patching.

Cycling and running are really more like leg races.
If you don't get into the ring, then how do you box? Are we packaging items for shipment to faraway lands?
Nah. Kung Fu is WAY geekier than Karate.
I miss Old Man Murray. It's sad that they stopped updating (I suppose they got real jobs or something)

I would just like to state that a mugging is not an acceptable reason to shoot someone.
Keep your gun hidden, give them your wallet, and don't act unless something other than your spending money is in danger.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't get to say you're being carbon neutral if you're exporting OIL.
