  1. Re:How much more ridiculous does this have to get on CIA Launches WTF To Investigate Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    How long did the Civil Rights movement take? Women's Suffrage? Those weren't overnight operations but they did cause radical change within the system.

    Sprouting can be done without light, as the seed contains all the energy it needs for that phase, but I wouldn't count that as "growing crops".

    My timecube sense is tingling with this one.

    "Really? At the University I attended it was crystal clear that Professors were hired primarily to do research and that teaching was a secondary consideration."

    And you still went to that University?

    From all this bluster I bet you didn't vote.

    What takes more resolve? Calling for revolution when you believe you can't change things even though legitimate means are available (because you choose not to use them) or waiting out the slow response time of using the system legitimately?

    Really, if you're drawing parallels to the American Revolution you should read up on it. The colonials had no representation and no power within parliament and would not even negotiate.

    I won't go as far as a [Citation Needed] but I will ask how the hell being able to see cars better increases motorcycle deaths.

    I definitely prefer meeting (aside from those damned blue headlights, they can die in a fire (not involving my motorcycle)) cars with headlights on when riding. And I really appreciate cars with good headlights when following them.

    You don't have to be hearing in the right direction. You do have to be looking in the right direction.

    There's your problem. There are more than two parties.

    The line starts over there to bash on Amazon and/or the Kindle.

    Don't worry, you don't need a valid or even sensible reason to get your chance. Just be frothing mad and they'll let you in.

    But how can we be free if we're not free to buy Dodges at the Ford Dealership? We must force Ford to sell Dodges, for freedom!

    And this is why the MC Community sucks as well.

    Yes, I know about torches. Yes, I have made torches. No, torches aren't the solution to being unable to do anything at night (unless you wanted a torch every 5 squares on whatever you were doing). Look at screenshots with a monitor that doesn't have the gamma cranked and all you see is black. Expiring torches leaves even less enthusiasm to work at MC.

  16. Re:Releases. on Minecraft Reaches Beta Status, Price Goes Up · · Score: 2

    If there's a game I wish I could unbuy Minecraft would be it.

    Too dark to see anything isn't cool and I don't want to either crank my system gamma to extreme levels (and make everything else look like crap) nor do I want to remodel a room just to make it dark enough for one game.

    And then the "tedium is skill" angle is the kicker.

    I should have followed my corollary to the /. rule (the more /. hates something the better it is), the more /. likes something the worse it is. Given all the hype it got here I should have known it'd have issues.

    Despite the odds people do win the lottery.

    If you're within maximum range there is a chance, however small, that you will get hit (regardless of what their actual target was as long is it was in your general direction).

    "They couldn't possibly hit us at this range." - famous last words.

    Also, effective range != maximum range, and a RPG doesn't not rely on kinetic energy for its killing power.
