About 11 years ago, I got so sick of my relatives getting me clothes for Christmas that I declared that if anyone every got me clothes again, I'd reward when with an NRA membership next Christmas.
I have a family full of Democrats, I never got clothes from them again.
After all, I'd imagine that over time they could make the batteries fairly compact in size - I'm not talking AAA but perhaps big flashlight-battery sized of perhaps at least managable.
Even that would require some quantum leaps in chemistry and battery tech.
Seriously, 3dfx got their asses stomped by nVidia. nVidia was putting out faster cards and comparable prices and even though 3dfx cards were rock solid stable, they couldn't compete anymore.
The result is that our government is now pursuing a Free Trade Agreement with China, because the US won't speak to us. I'm not sure which is worse.
Simple. China is worse.
My country perpatrates all kinds of Bullshit all over the globe, but we don't execute political prisoners and sell their organs like China does. We don't employ the use of slave labor to produce export goods. We might talk all kinds of shit against and boycott, but we don't incarcerate those with subversive politics.
What about the emotional and marriage problems it causes?
I can speak first hand about this one.
The ex-wife and I were watching a porno once. They were doing a threesome, she says "That would be fun."
I'm like "Oh yeah? Well you know..."
She cut me off and said "Oh! Not with you! I love you too much to share you."
I nearly blew a gasket. I was SOOOOOOO mad.
That moment was the beginning of the end for our relationship. No matter what else she ever said about it, nothing could erase those words from my memory.
In the end, porn wasn't the cause our problems. Her unwillingness to satisfy my needs was. It merely took porno to bring it to light.
Erototoxins? Is this an attempt to re-brand a need for sexual stimulationas a medical condition again? You know that way they could overturn any constitutional protections under the guise of medical treatment, much like drug companies are pushing their drugs that render people resistant to illegal drugs. Why do I get the feeling that these people would like to be able to prevent sexual desire wherever they deem it innappropriate./UL
You have just nailed it. These people seek to exert control of all behavior by controlling access to pain relief and pleasure.
All drugs that are really worth anything are strictly controlled. They now wish to control sexuality. It's a ploy, and a weak one at that.
The same olfactory nerve cells responsible for the sense of smell will send "a sharp sense of pain" to the brain if, for example, you take a big whiff of dry ice. Lung tissue will react the exact same way.
Breathing ANY gas that cold will result in the perception of pain.
It need not offend the darwinists since our evolution still could have occurred according to his posited algorithm, just at a slower or quicker pace.
If modern humans existed before the emergance of those that evolutions posits we descended from, it renders all of the "evidence" of human evolution moot.
It need not offend the creationists since He might have placed the bones in the coal in accordance with His wisedom.
If they believe that all of creation is less than 20,000 years old, a two million year old modern human destroys their assumptions.
Wouldn't this shoot holes all through the "man evolved from apes" argument?
Which is precisely why it gets ignored.
Evidence of extreme human antiquity goes against the agendas of creationists and darwinists. Since it doesn't fit in with any particular agenda, everyone just pretends that it doesn't exist.
When WON was shut down I played CS 1.6 under the name "Steam Sucks My Balls" for about a month. Everyone who commented on that name agreed. Steam sucks ass.
They'll learn from this experience to make the next big Steam-based release much smoother.
If they don't alienate too many of their customers and go out of business before then.Or more likely, they'll get swallowed up by EA or Microsoft before they go under.

To be followed by the JFK Junior Flight Simulator game.
Yeah, you attempt to make a night landing without ever learning to navigate using only your instruments.
LK
The game hasn't even been released yet, but somehow you KNOW that it's a mediocre effort?

Inside/near the arctic circle sunset to sunrise can be less than an hour during mid-summer.
I was referring to the long nights up north (and south).
LK
Even if you live within the arctic (or antarctic) circle, one hour is STILL considerably less than overnight.

The "customer" posed a question that the resident genius was unable to answer. Obviously, they were on wrong sides of the bar.
You must not have ever been an Apple user.

And we all know how they turned out.

What I don't get is that chimeras happen in nature. Such as chimera twins. Why are there any moral or ethical concerns about it?
LK
The summary mentions THAC0 and has a link. How can it be offtopic to talk about something in the summary?

Fuck metric!

End of story!

I guess you don't watch the news. Just about two weeks ago several schoolchildren were accidentally shown a porno at their school.
LK
I take it then that you look forward to having that discussion with a 6 year old?

Why do we perceive a natural act to be less suitable for our kids to view?
My old standby is this.
I'd rather explain to a kid why the bad man on TV just shot someone than why the bad woman has a penis in her mouth.
LK
that 'box set' still exists as fedora. why do people keep bitching about this?
STFU Fanboy.
Fedora is the unstable devel version. At one time, the affordable version of Red Hat didn't amount to paying to beta test.

Never. CO2 is an odorless gas.
