Might be interesting if they made the game where you could stick to the moral side with little improvement until the end where the game gives you some kind of divine favor, or the immoral ground where you gain in power quickly but have a good chance of being knocked off or hated/hunted by other factions.
I haven't played much, but I think the death knight story line is along the lines that you want. You realize you're doing bad things and decided to move away from that.

That link makes has the fallacy that "interstate" when referred to in "Interstate Highway System" means to travel between states, when it really means funded by all states. There are some interstates that are in the continental 48 states that don't leave the state they are in.
When I think of Hawaii, I think small. So it would make no sense to have a solar power initiative to cover the entire place with solar cells and only provide 25% of the required power.
Where luggage at major airports occasionally gets to the proper destination.
I realize this must be sarcastic hyperbole on your part. Either that or occasionally doesn't mean what I thought it did. 999,999 out of a million bags making it to the proper destination is 'most' if not statistically 'all' bags getting there.
Yeah, most places in the US are on our aging, antiquated electric grid. If all cars operated today were electric, and charged at night when there is less demand, there would still not be enough generation and transmission capacity to power them all.
Lucky all cars today are not electric. All cars tomorrow will not be electric. All cars next year will not be electric. All cars next decade will not be electric. Perhaps in 50+ years when all cars are electric we may have had time to incrementally increase electric supply to match the slowly growing demand. Stretch I know, but it's possible. Much more possible then waking up tomorrow in a world full of electric cars and not enough power to charge them.
Its an important part of "maintaining democracy" rather than so much of a part of it. The forces of power and greed will always migrate towards a fascist dictator or ruling class. The US is on it's way to being a democratically elected Social-Fascist society. Operating in the shadows is the only way to avoid this.
Yea. They have upgraded quests from, "collect 20 beaver testicles." to "101 ways collect 20 beaver testicles."
SPOILER ALERT: Also the whole, crapping in an outhouse quest then digging through your crap for the seeds was, umm, very comical. I play a GIRL character, you know Guy In Real Life, and man could she tear up that outhouse.
Unless you consider that, even the manufacture is saying, "Don't worry you are safe."
The number of OSX systems is higher than even the largest botnets. All are sitting there unprotected. With users that are mostly clueless to the existence of viruses. This would make quite a quick and easy botnet should there be a way to exploit it.
I'd also like to know how many programmers outside of research actually program math. I think there is a lot more programming how to get the temperature, and how to display it in a meaningful way, than there is doing anything with it.
I suppose if they only provide free internet to the.gov domain or something that may be true. Similar to the PBS free TV station where there is some good programming but people will still pay either by watching adverts, or paying money and watching adverts.
It's part of the race to the bottom. By the government providing an inferior product for free then the paid products will lose a significant number of customers forcing them to raise their prices and convincing more to flee to the free alternative and going into a vicious cycle. Walmart has had this same effect. By providing substandard products extremely cheaply it has pushed the price of quality products up even higher.
It was actually designed as Insurance that you may live longer than the average life span. Unfortunately it has not been adjusted to the longer expected life span. You were suppose to be able to plan a retirement as if you were going to die at around 65, if that doesn't happen then you have insurance that should be enough to keep you feed until you finally kick it. realistically it needs to be raised to around 72 now.
"That said, there is much to be said for the Star Trek take on war: It should be messy, nasty, and full of foul stinking death and destruction lest we forget how much better peace is."...and allow oppression far past a reasonable extent to avoid it.

Look at the originators of the arguments, one is on moral ground and the other is trying to make money. Just makes me go hmmmm....
So if you've been screwing them all you most definitely have it by now, huh?

WTF! Why isn't Hawaii on geothermal power???

I don't think North Korea has a lot of computers at all. They don't even seem to have many light bulbs: http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/dprk/images/dprk-dmsp-dark.jpg
Don't try to swallow a 1lb coconut. No mater where it's from.
Can you change that to a car analogy?

the new step 2) ??? has a rather bleek fill in now:
1) loan out a bunch of money to people that can't afford to pay it back
2) Bailout
3) Profit
I for one welcome our new socialist overlords.

SS? Social Security? Very low overhead, actually. Tiny. Nearly all of their spending is in the form of checks to citizens, which is the whole point.
The funny part is the Tiny part of the overhead is in the form of taking checks from citizens.
Yea, because I was just thinking, "My internet just really needs some FCC control for it to be sooo much better."
One man's bug is another man's feature.
