I'm not convinced the freedom to not wear a seatbelt is really a freedom of any value and losing it isn't a real loss. I wear my seatbelt, and I would wear it even if the law did not demand it of me. I do it because I understand that it's in my interest to do so. However, I still resent being told that I must buckle up under penalty of law. I find it insulting to be ordered to do something that I would probably do anyway because I don't have shit for brains.
I wouldn't recommend combining a metric shitload with an imperial shitload when dealing with manned spacecraft, unless you want NASA to stand for "Need Another Seven Astronauts".
Microsoft is pursuing the buyout path because they can. They have a metric shitload of money, so throwing money around is their customary solution to every problem that comes their way.
I don't cry when reading, and I don't cry when I'm watching a movie. I've cried a dozen times while playing Lost Odyssey, and I haven't finished the first disc. Does that make Lost Odyssey a work of art? Maybe not, but I'm certainly getting my money's worth.
While your statement is 100% correct, normally when I'm wearing beer goggles I'm looking for something other than a relationship:) I was tempted to advise against looking for poontang while drunk, but I figured that that wouldn't go over too well around here.
In what sense of "better"? It's harder to bullshit them. In a time when politicians, clergymen, and businessmen obtain the trust and obedience of others through lies and deceit, that's a valuable trait.
It is quite possible that the officer had a mindset to the effect that, hey this guy probably has a gun, and his or her mind see's what they wanted to see. I doubt that all of the cops who shot innocent people because they thought they saw a gun in his hands wanted to see a gun. Some of them were probably afraid that a gun was what they saw, and reacted to that fear. Remember the Wizard's First Rule: "People will believe a lie either because they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it might be true."
The human mind sees what it wants to see while sober, and this tendency becomes even worse after a few drinks. That's why one should never look for a relationship while wearing beer goggles. It's hard enough to see through a woman's bullshit without booze clouding your judgment.
Or Fidel would want to be a Commie Zombie... Considering that he's undead, I doubt he's in any condition to give a shit about such trivial matters as politics. He just wants BRAINS, and he doesn't want to share 'em (which is rather counterrevolutionary of him).
If you want more information about zombies, I strongly recommend the Zombie Survival Guide. And a good bolt-action rifle. And a crowbar for close work.:)
It has to go to an uninvolved third party so there is no "woohoo, let's do it again! I'M RICH, BIATCH!" Hey, I'm not involved. Why not give me the money? Unlike the government, I won't spend it bombing the shit out of brown people on the other side of the planet. (I might spend some of it on hookers 'n blow, though.)
t comes down to the placement of the left thumbstick...you have to "reach" your thumb in order to use it effectively, whereas with a gamecube/xbox/360 controller, the way your hand naturally cradles the controller places your thumb EXACTLY where the the thumbstick is, no movement necessary. This enables better precision, more comfort, and less fatigue. I see where you're coming from, and I can understand why you and others would have problems with the Dual Shock controller. I've probably been lucky, as I've only experienced discomfort when playing the games I mentioned above. RPGs are no problem. Okami was no problem. Ratchet and Clank was no problem. Gran Turismo 4 was no problem. Devil May Cry on most difficulty modes was no problem.
I personally have always found the Playstation DualShock design to be one of the most uncomfortable controllers ever conceived My hands must be different from yours, because the only time I get uncomfortable while using a DualShock is when I'm playing the Ace Combat games, or Devil May Cry on "Dante Must Die" mode.
Yes, they aren't big enough to be proper joysticks, but they serve the same function. Besides, could you imagine implementing the equivalent of a NES Advantage stick for the PS3 or the Xbox 360?
The controllers on my PS2 and my Xbox 360 each have two joysticks that you can move with a thumb instead of using your whole hand. One usually controls movement, and the other the camera.
Ever heard of Brand Awareness? Getting a banner ad out there and seen by hundreds of thousands of people three or four times a day is worth it if you have a product to sell that already has good distribution. Even if these ads never generate clickthrough, they are still worth it. I've heard of Brand Awareness. In fact, the brands I'm most aware of are the brands on my "don't do business with these assholes" list. X10 (the camera people) is on that list.

Wrap some copper around the Founding Fathers. That should solve DC's energy issues.
What would Lonestar do with null spacebucks? He can't fuel up his Winnebago with that.

What are you going to do, drag the bear back to the friggin' wagon?
It also shows what happens when the powerful lose sight of their ideals in the face of adversity.
Prism Rangers make me want to punch kittens.

The novel isn't bad either, though the writing's a bit rough.

I'll let my wife carry the AK. As far as I'm concerned, if they're close enough to use an AK or a submachine gun, then they're too fucking close.

Fidel Castro is already dead. He's just resigning because his political duties get in the way of his lust for brains. BRAAAAAAAINS!!
