Yes if they were foreign nationals who happened to kill 5000 citizens in a single day, then yes I'd shoot them on sight too. I have no tolerance for foreign bastards killing my neighbors. I'm sure you'd feel the same way if Bin Laden had attacked, say, Paris and London.
Nope. The FAA burned-through all that money at the end of October 2006, and laid-off the three engineers. Approximately 400,000 taxpayer dollars wasted for no real purpose.

This is why we have DUI - to catch people using alcohol or drugs when they shouldn't be. Besides there are plenty of legal drugs that impair function, like when my dentist gave my vicadin. Why isn't vicadin illegal?
Well now that the tools are lost, I'm curious to know - will they burn-up in the atmosphere? Maybe someone's house will get hit by a ball of molten steel a few months from now.
I know a certain hotel manager I'd like to kill. He refused to let me check-in even though I had been staying there for months, and even though I had reservations, because "I don't honor the 10% sale price you reserved." I ended-up sleeping in my car. Unfortunately he's older than me so he'll probably die long before I hit 80 or 90.
The flood of Noah is probably a borrowed mythology from the subcontinent of India. In their version it's about a man who was swept into the Persian Gulf by a natural event (not god).
In times of war, you don't need to prove guilt. You can kill anyone who your government labels "enemy" and Bin Laden is enemy number one. It's no different than if I killed Saddam Hussein or Adolf Hitler. I don't think anyone would cry; in fact I'd probably get a Congressional Medal of Honor.
Second: A terrorist might be nervous, yes, but a lot of them are not. They feel like soldiers. They feel their cause is just.
This is why I drive everywhere. I'm sick of the airport hassles.
What REALLY pissed me off is when I was driving through Texas and some idiot Immigration officials made me stop & search my car. I refused. Did I cross an international border? No. Do they have a search warrant? No. Then they are conducting an illegal search according to the Supreme Law of the Land. They have no reason to be making me pop my trunk and rifling through my playboys..... er, clothing.
I fail to see how my shooting cocaine while watching Heroes harms anybody. Certainly less harmful than an abortion (which kills a human fetus). So bug off. My actions while sitting in my TV chair do not harm your body, your property, or your rights. It is NONE of your business.
It's his body and his choice. I'd tell him that in my house we follow my rules, but once he gets his own house he can do whatever the hell he wants (except DUI as it's illegal). That's what freedom means. As Democratic Party founder Thomas Jefferson said, "No man has a right to harm another. And that's all that the government should restrain him."
No he used to give the money directly to me (seeing as how I was lazy as a kid). This did not make the neighbors happy, but you know this is what happens when you move into a mafia-controlled neighborhood. (shrug)
Yes but the fix was so EASY. Pick up the phone and call the State Department of Employment. Ask for anonymity and report that you worked half-an-hour after closing without pay. Multiple times. It won't be long until your employer is on the hot seat, and you will still have you job since he/she won't know who did it.
>>>they come with a lame story about sky. That's not procedural content generation, it's procedural eye candy generation.
Not too surprising in a culture that values a woman's breast size (eye candy) over the content of her character. I've noticed most of the modern games since 2000 are not really fun. It's just T&A with no real substance. Back in the 8/16-bit era they had to rely on solid gameplay because the 2D/3D graphics were so primitive.
That's how I landed my job two years ago. The FAA had about 11 months worth of money "leftover" so they hired three engineers to sit around and do (almost) nothing. A wiser course would have been to send the money back to Congress so it could be refunded back to the taxpayers (either directly or as SSI/medicare payouts), but that's not how government operates. So instead they hired three engineers for a job that didn't really exist.
People don't care about man-made law when they are following God's law. They consider God's law superior and therefore feel no guilt.
Kinda similar to how I'd feel pointing a gun at Osama Bin Laden & pulling the trigger. I'd feel absolutely no guilt or hesitation. Therefore there's nothing for the "psychosomatic" cameras to detect.
I still don't understand why drugs are illegal? Regulated yes, like alcohol, but why illegal? If I want to kill myself with cocaine that's MY business and none of yours. My body; my choice. (Same argument used to justify abortion.)
If you're going to kill someone against whom you have a severe grudge, the best time is when you're 90. What are they gonna do? Kill you? You're already on death's door anyway.
Correct. I was paid for the time 9:30 to 9:45 even though the JCPenney store was techically closed during that time. If they don't want to pay me for those 15 minutes, then I'm leaving at 9:30. I will NOT work for free.
As for the booting issue:
I would ask to do a manual timecard so I can write my actual time of arrival & departure. If that's not allowed, then I'd find some other way to recover those unpaid 15-30 minutes during booting, such as as taking a 45-minute lunch instead of 30 minute. Or taking an extra, paid 15-minute break each day. If the boss is taking advantage of you, then you need to work the system so you can recover your lost time.
I recall the 8-bit game ELITE created 10 whole "galaxies" along with descriptions of each star's major food exports, population, et cetera using nothing more than a seed and an equation. The reason they did this was because they were limited to 48 kilobytes of RAM and had no room for an actual database. (That's 0.047 megabytes in today's terminology.) It was simply amazing to explore all that territory because it felt so realistic.
It was not so fun when the pirates attacked you 5 against 1.;-) You might as well just quit the game at that point.
At the time, 2500 B.C., we had already built advanced cultures in Egypt, Greece, and China. This is the era from which we get the great pyramids, the earliest oral legends about a great flood and god mythologies, and the first alphabet (not pictograms, but an actual letter-based form of writing).
I don't think there was any difference in intelligence between them and us... not in such a short span of time.

I see you've been watching Meerkat Manor. ;-)

P.S.
I also wouldn't feel guilty killing someone who entered my house. They don't belong there. They deserve to die for their idiocy.

The Roman Empire did not exist in 100 B.C. It was still a male-democratic Republic (like the 1800s United States).
It was the same when I worked in a store.
And I was paid from ~7:50 onward. No nonsense about not paying me until 8:00.
