apocoplypse is where we are going, regardless of your opinion. I'd rather not read more and more lies about how "great" humanity could do it if worked together
My, aren't you a peach. How silly of us to think that we could grow as humanity. I mean, modern life isn't any better, really, than Europe during the inquisition. Why should we even keep living.
i don't think that "system of justice" is the same as "free legal advice". That would be like saying the guy running the flea market should provide money.
The point of government control is to make sure its taxes are paid.
I thought government's role was to defend its citizens and provide a system of justice. These are paid for by taxes, sure, but if what you said is true, then a government is as ethically sound as the self-perpetuating disease.
"the world's first interactive TV series" this isn't. "The world's first episodic video game" (or maybe not the first, i don't know) it is. Either way, it's a poor decription, but since when are posts edited...
well, i suppose if the government is going to bail out airlines after four days (dear god, no!) of missed business, they establish an incredible leash by which to yank the industry around.
I'm going to start up an independent line of airports and airlines, just to show 'em. Coming soon, you just wait.
i don't remember every thing that was cut out. however, one (fairly important) part was the end of the first song that the Scoobys sing together, that alludes to Buddy not caring so much about being back alive. I think the long version was pretty tight as it was. cutting out 8 minutes must have been rough.
That's like saying vandalism helps the economy. say a kid throws a brick through the grocer's window. the grocer pays $100 to the windowmaker to fix it, and seeing money change hands, we think the kid helped the economy. However, if he hadn't thrown the brick, the grocer would have both a window and $100, which he would spend on something that actually did help the economy
personally, i dislike this method of giving change. it's harder for me to follow along with the counting clerk than for me to subtract in my head and compare with what the clerks [says he] gives me.
do you mean don't give your SSN to anybody/company/form/request, etc, or to people on the street? Mother's maiden name doesn't get asked as often, but as a college student, my Student ID (=SSN for most) is my only tie to the entire system (Registrar, Bursar, Financial Aid, every facility, etc.).
Not giving out personal info is great, and should be done when possible (I should have asked for a unique Student ID, like i did for my driver's license), but very often it's highly, highly inconvenient, and a person would miss out on things by sticking to it. For the vast majority of people, the [fairly] small risk of identity theft is worth the convenience (which sounds like the way the gen public feel about most security issues).
yes, but it isn't the drug use that is a crime. drug useis victimless, in that the only "victim" is the user. The robbery to support one's habit, that's the crime. the violent thuggery in transportation, that's the crime. providing a product to willing customers and consuming that product is no crime.
it depends on what sort of movie you're looking for. If you want a tongue-in-cheek adventure movie, perhaps these are the producers for you. if you want something harder-edged, maybe not. on the other hand, one's previous work in the film industry isn't always a good indicator about what one can/will do.
perhaps.gov is used only by government institutions, but.edu is not used only by governments schools. private universities (like mine, NYU) use.edu also (nyu.edu).
also, in the name of simplicity i think we should keep things as they are: established and shorter than the proposed change.

It'd look like a perfect black circle was photoshopped into the world. No light comes from it: it's black, only absolute black.
Nope. Technology progresses fast enough to feed people, if we let it.
emotion over reason! woo!

the longest one i've heard of (and the title of a book, no less), is "go hang a salami, i'm a lasagna hog"
The identity theft lobbyists must be mighty powerful.
I don't know about S Dakota, but Oklahoma has plenty of chicks. "north to get rich, south to get married."

no one needs to remind you of brainfuck

i'm pretty sure it's "one forty-nine NINETY FIVE!".
monopolists should be dropped off on baltic avenue. nobody wants that piece o' crap.

i'd just like my retinas embedded on a smart card. then i could see if i have correct change before pulling out my wallet.
for everything else, there's mastercard. and only mastercard.

if you DON'T cool it, you also solve the problem of your staying warm on those cold winter nights...

does ternary processing mean you will be using on, off, and some third state of electricity? "dim"?
