    Super computers, bunsen burners, flasks, and beakers all cost money, The fuel for the burners and the electricity for the computers cost money. The reagents used to make new drugs cost money. The food the scientists eat costs money. The willingness of scientists to continue in their work instead of going into another feild where they can make more MONEY costs money. Testing new drugs so they get FDA aproval costs money. So, no you will not get progress without giving money for it. Thank you for playing, please try again.

    Oh, come on, it's not fair to lambast Chicago like that, there voter fraud is more in the nature of a sport anymore, rather than a malicious attempt to derail the political process. That said, in the last presidential election they had some precincts with more than 100% turnout, and need to be more carefull. I mean what's the point of having a sport if you get caught cheating?

    Well, if you pick the right types of girls you don't have to fork over money for blowjobs, but I belive the parent of my post was refering to crackwhores, who give blow jobs in exchange for crack cocaine, usualy about $20 worth of crack. I'll have to get a price schedule for a brothel to see how much a "legal" blowjob costs, and have unfortunatly not done any research on the cash price of a blowjob on the street.

  9. Re:So is alcohol on Coffee is Addictive · · Score: 1

    Sounds like they'll be doing these things for MONEY to buy crack or heroin instead, and generaly a person gets more money for a blowjob than the price of the amount of crack they get for the same blowjob. Also, income from blowjobs is *gasp* taxable. Just because you broke the law to get the income doensn't me IRS doesn't want it's share.

    Only things you just mentioned that are real-time are running Windows, VOIP, and game servers. Generaly on game servers the bottleneck is bandwidth, but I supose with large worlds that are mostly hidden from the user the server's power could come into play. I'm not saying that there is no improvement by using a modern processor, I'm saying that for the majority of uses the price-perfomance of keeping an old PC for a long time is not as bad as most people seem to think. That said, Yes I do have a 1ghz+ athalon sitting on my desk, and yes it is very nice for compiles, and games, and other processor intensive things. But for doing actual work, my pentium 100 mhz worked just fine, even if you couldn't play MP3s and do anything else at the same time.

    Allow me to address point 3, we've lost less than 1000 soldiers in Iraq. We are on the way to free elections. While stockpiles WMD were not found, the basis for building them was. Last time I checked unless you're a bleeding heart panzy 1000 of our soldiers for conquering a rather large country counted as cheap. Last time I checked destroying all creadable resistance counted as winning. Yes there are a few terrorists and guerellas who are making our lives dificult, but still, we've done rather well.

    Dude, most marketing types passed English, they know the difference between a noun, a verb, and adverb, and an adjetive. They might not know what those nouns, verbs, adverbs and adjitives MEAN, but at least they understand sentance structure. Think "Jaberwocky", not nonsense. Well, I supse "Jaberwocky" isn't the best example since in his mercury madness Lewis Carol actualy understood what he was writing, so think people using words from "Jaberwocky" to write things.

    Thanks for playing, but some of us actualy have our eyes open. I may not be considered wealthy, heck in most parts of the country what I make would even be considered poor, but I like to keep the moeny I make by the exercize of my wits, or the sweat of my back. I don't want any god damned handouts, and I don't want to pay for someone to fucking lazy to take a job they think is "beneth" them to not starve to death. I don't have much, but what I have is due to MY hard work, and MY dicipline, and MY determination. Conservitivism isn't just for those who already have a good place in scociety, but also for those who belive that they can make a difference, and can improve themselves to reach those goals. What I'd like to know is why you belive so morosely that you cannot. To bad you won't be messaged with this so you can attempt, albeit poorly to rebut me. Oh well, I supose that's the cost of being an AC Commie bastard.
