For racing games (not mario kart of F-zero, those aren't racing games), the best thing the game can do is pit you against equal cars and not ruberband. Ruberband racing teaches you to rush and crash into corners.
Ruberbanding in some games is fucking annoying. Need For Speed? Yuck. You crash into a wall and then they slow down so you blam past them. Now they come zooming up and leave you in the dust. It doesn't make the game more fun, it just 1) teaches you how to race the wrong way 2) makes winning levels an aggravating game of chance.
Take a game without ruberband racing like Gran Turisimo, there you learn how to race just fine (if you're in a comparable car). If you make a mistake you start the level again because you just lost, and the progression ends up being much more fun.
And Mario Kart is not ruberband, that's just part of their 'draft' mechanics (a mechanic that helps a player in the back go faster relative to a player in the front).
I would love it if Google just removed FoxNews from their links until FoxNews publicly requested to be brought back. Google loses so very little since FoxNews has such shit quality, FoxNews on the other hand loses market share which is good.
The thing is that an atheist is fully in control of their own morality. And yes, they can choose nihilism, most don't though. Why? Because people are hard wired to like being moral.
A Christian can trick themselves into thinking they're being moral while they're not. This is the danger point, because people need to feel like they're right. There are so many quotes from religious people saying absolutely horrible things in the name of 'morality', so many religious people who turn their backs on genocide after genocide, so many religious people who care more about lowering their taxes so they can buy a large screen TV than bringing the world out of poverty.
No, they make all the sound of moral authority, but the christians as a group don't hold moral high ground over atheists. Quality of life indicator after quality of life indicator in first world countries would actually indicate that the atheists and agnostics are better at taking care of their neighbors than the christians.
Because you feel that your were unfairly vilified by someone painting your demographics with a broad brush and you were too silly to realize that people are immune to ideologically different ideas while on the internet?
Maybe I should try Red Hat. I've tried using Linux in Ubuntu form and eventually gave up because I work for computers all day, when I'm at home I want computers to work for me.
Actually, people DO want socialism. They just want NO taxes to go with it. Cause they're greedy dumbfucks. Look at all the people bitching about socialist healthcare and yelling that they don't want the government taking over Medicare.
(In case you're a moron, Medicare is a socialist program)
People also complain about bad roads, service at the DMV, public education, all while saying they don't want to pay for it. NO FUCKING DUH! If you vote down the school budget three times, you're going to have stupid kids.
Cameras would raise the cost for bad drivers, lower the cost for good drivers. The idea that they wouldn't use the camera for rate adjustment or accident evidence is laughable. Of course they'd use it for those things. I'd expect them too.
I wouldn't put a camera in my car because I tend to drive aggressively, and that would hike my rates, but I couldn't really object if all the companies required cameras, they're just doing their job.
Plain and simple. Insurance companies are one of the best companies at picking out statistical correlations. If you're an insurance company and you offer high rates to high risk people and low rates to low risk people, you win. If you offer low rates to high risk people and high rates to low risk people, all the low risk people go to someone else, and all the high risk people come to you. That's bad.
They're not crazy when they bill you based on whatever stupid thing you're complaining about, they're noticing significant correlations.
My biggest flaw with the test was that they were testing multi-taskers ability to single task... Not their ability to multi-task. A good test for mutlitasking would be to press a button when a new odd number came up and say the vowel when a new vowel came up. Test self-reported multi-taskers and self-reported single taskers at multi-taskings... Maybe?

He actually said that. He's an economist... Amazing how some stupid morons can get a degree.
Microsoft like SEGA will survive after it's core product ends. Microsoft makes a lot of tools, these will still be used and profitable once Windows is gone (the thought of now more windows makes me giddy though)
Wikipedia also agrees. "A free market is a term that economists use to describe a market which is free from economic intervention and regulation by government, other than protection of property rights (i.e. no regulation, no subsidization, no single monetary system, and no governmental monopolies)."
I do look forward to the robots that can land on their feet after you kick them in the head hard enough to make them spend some time upside down. Those will be cool. They'll show people how to do Kung Fu scenes...
In a two party system one part is the more 'conservative' and one is the more 'liberal', one is the 'right' the other is the 'left'. Republicans are the right in the US today. I agree that both Republicans and Democrats can do a pretty shoddy job, but the ideologies are certainly 'left' or 'right'.
Additionally if this became a real problem you'd see two rates, a night rate and a day rate. Then the day rate would be dirt cheap and the night rate would be wicked expensive.
Monopolies are one of the various failure point of free markets. Free (as in no regulation at all) does nothing to stop monopolies, even though they break the system. Personally, I'm very pro-regulation, I don't think the free markets are the solution to everything (lots of things, not everything). I like the products Apple makes, but I can't wait to see them get their asses punked for anti-competitive practices (hopefully more to come).
However, socialism for old people isn't socialism. As shown by the right's embrace of Medicare (and recently their defense of it from an attack that's not really coming).

No one kicked Babe Ruth or Tiger Woods out for being too good.
I do hope your joking. There are so many mutations, many successful athletes probably have at least one rare gene.

In the US I perceive the words "free market" to be synonymous with "unregulated". These ladies agree. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H01fscfAxoA/SmtuBwqvFZI/AAAAAAAAAS0/Pfh7VIFtl08/s1600-h/Boca+Raton+Free+Market+Healthcare+Rally+035.JPG

Ron Paul is just an anti-tax social conservative. That's not libertarian.
