Back in the HL1/TFC days, escape maps were popular. Although you'd have guns and whatnot, they were more about solving puzzles than actually shooting and killing things. They often required cooperation, i.e. this guy crouches to bring another guy up, or two guys hit buttons on opposite ends of a room.
Push down on pedal. Make car go. Push down on pedal harder, make car go faster.
What, did some moron forget to close a tag or something? It baffles me that there can be a problem like this in what should be a relatively simple system.
to the jury (I will not convict the white man for marrying a black woman no matter what the law says),
That's called Jury nullification, and jurors are rarely informed of their right not to convict. I've read about an instance or two where judges specifically inform juries that they cannot do this (although this is really, really illegal)
Aren't speed limits designed with the road's construction in mind? i.e. if the speed limit dips to 50 you really shouldn't be trying to take that upcoming left curve at 85...
Even so, on straightaways the flow of traffic should take precedence. The only places where speed limits really ought to be set and enforced is within cities/towns and in turning areas.
Welp, a long time ago I disabled the very annoying Insert Key on my computer with a simple hardware fix.
1) Get a flathead screwdriver.
2) Place screwdriver underneath problem key.
3) Place left hand approximately 1 foot (~0.3 meters) above problem key.
4) Use leverage to pop key out of keyboard.
5) Your left hand will block the deadly flying plastic. Be careful not to stab yourself with the screwdriver! Better to have to search around for a plastic key than dig a flathead screwdriver out of your hand.
I'm assuming that he runs a business and isn't just hosting the McBride Family's website and stuff at his home.
Even if he was, though, the way you get treated with even the lowest-tier business Internet account (typically twice the price of you regular cable/DSL) is worlds different from the way they treat their other customers.
What if there were two earths rotating around the sun at the same distance?
It's rare, but there are planets out there with twin orbits (or close to twin orbits), i.e. two planets of roughly the same size sharing nearly the same orbit.
As in all orbiting situations, the star in the center wobbles because of the pull of all the stellar bodies in its system.
Well, New Orleans actually made a concerted effort to fight back against the flooding, as it were. Sure, the system was horribly outdated and whatnot.
The real bad ones are the places like right near beaches where houses get flooded out every ~10 years or something like that. No pumps, no dams, no drainoffs... your house gets flooded, the government cuts you a check, and you rebuild in the same damn spot. It's lunacy.
I have yet to use Linux to any serious degree, but if Windows, say, bluescreens, you can usually translate the STOPx000008E or whatever error into some tangible problem.
It would be nice if Windows gave you more info, though.
When you try to quite Peggle, the Unicorn starts to tear up.
When you try to quit Bookworm, the Bookworm tears up and says "Don't leave me!".
PopCap are masters at holding emotional hostages. Write them up and see what they would do.
I imagine your best option is a teary-eyed puppy in a wheelchair, dressed as little bo peep, and saying "Won't you pwease weed this message? *whimper*"
Sucks that you got water damage, truly, but IMO the government insuring people who are daft enough to build in flood-prone areas is sheer madness.
That's like getting bullet insurance from Uncle Sam because you build a house downrange from a gun club. Why encourage such incredibly stupid behavior?
Very few people are aware that kdawson is actually a movie script ghostwriter. He's worked on projects such as Starship Troopers, I Am Legend, and The Bourne Identity.
Man, you know, sometimes I watch Star Trek and think it can be really outlandish. And then I find out space rays are making the ground shake, and Star Trek's fiction seems way saner than reality...
I recall reading a story somewhere - might have been slashdot, I don't remember - where some country greatly reduced its cases of MRSA by no longer prescribing antibiotics unless they were really needed. I think it was The Netherlands?
As an American, my attitude toward Canada is "Beers and moose, eh?" Every country has its lighthearted jokes about it (the French are rude/cowards, the Irish are drunkards, Americans are imperialist hillbillies, etc.). If you honestly believe that the GP's very obvious troll is in any way representative of the average American's opinion of Canada than you are sorely mistaken.

Episode 3 is going to be co-op, with Gordon and Chell working together and using their magic guns.
Portal > Throw dumpster through Portal > hits Combine in back of head
That's my guess, anyway.
Seriously though, how hard can this shit be?

Aye, absolutely! I even have a potential name for you guys:
People Who Never Exclude Design.

Wow, holy shit. If anyone would kick MRSA's ass, it's no surprise that it was Vikings.

Please tell me what company you do tech support for so I can buy a product from them, break it, and call you for tech support.
...
(I think all of the years of doing over-the-phone tech support for other people has created some sick fetish in me...)
That would work, but for 90% of these problems couldn't they invest in something like TeamViewer and just do it themselves?
The only real problems then would be if the computer has to be physically shut off, and then they can send a guy down or do the over-the-phone spiel.
Interestingly enough, he uses the cake picture for whenever the antivirus suite finds...
...tracking cookies.
Thank you, I'll be here all night!

And she can reply about how it's irresponsible to try to raise a child (or even go through a pregnancy) when you are not prepared for it.

Take what you wrote here, make it about ten times more confusing, and you've just written down the plot for BlazBlue Continuum Shift.
Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine. The Dutch have used a "Search & Destroy" method and have effectively kept MRSA contained.

Please refer to this post for an idea of how our national debt works.
It's not something they can just call in. We're essentially borrowing money and making the interest payments over time.
Yeah, it's not smart, but it's what's going on.
The last president who was known to toke the good ol' Mary Jane left us with a budget surplus and other countries still generally liking America.
