I know older airbags definitely had a reputation for causing injuries but my understanding was that newer ones were a lot better (obviously not perfect).
Either way, I walked away from the accident completely uninjured.
I agree with this sentiment. I was in an accident and totaled my car a few weeks ago. I hit some black ice on the expressway going about 65 miles per hour (had no traction issues up to this point). Went off the road and hit a large concrete block. I'm not sure that the airbag saved my life but it definitely helped me avoid some injury.
I'm torn on the heat sink issue. On one hand it breaks canon but on the other hand it kind of force a more tactical play style and weapon switching. I would have preferred a hybrid system. Maybe increase the cool down time from ME1 but keep it there. A quick way to force cool down would be to eject a clip. If they made ammo more rare and the natural cool down long enough then this could have had the same effect on weapon switching without breaking canon.

I play on the PC and I just upped the sensitivity of my mouse. It helps that I have a g5 so I have the sensitivity buttons built in though. Even with this the mineral scanning was a mind-numbing experience. It was kind of cool the first couple times but after that it gets extremely tedious.
While I hated the fetch quests in the citadel I was disappointed that you couldn't wander the same areas as in ME1. It seems like they explicitly went out of their way to avoid letting you wander the presidium. I understand that they did this to avoid having too many branching possibilities based on decisions in the previous game but it still irked me. I was sorely disappointed that each of the main "cities" you visit are so tiny.

This was also a major one of my gripes with ME2. The classes lost a lot of their differentiation. All classes are highly skilled in every firearm they're capable of using. I preferred ME1 where you could use any gun but you may suck with it.
Due to the shared cool down every class has to use guns. I much preferred playing a biotic that never needed to use the gun. I think a better system would have been one used in many games. If you use power A then powers A and B will be unusable but power B will become available first.
Allowing prisoners to play games doesn't controbute to either of those goals. However, you still need to take into account the fact that most people in prison will be leaving again. If you take away all sources of fun for years, how do you think that will affect their psyche? Many people, including myself, believe that one of the major problems with the American justice system is that its focus is primarily on punishment instead of rehabilitation.
This is the specific reason that I prefer Stardock's impulse over Steam. If the two are the same price (or reasonably close) then I will go with Impulse every time. Steam does have some amazing deals that can't be beat though so I do end up getting games through Steam a lot as well.
True, but if you leave the key in the car then you have to leave the door unlocked to get back in (or use a spare). With a remote start you can start the car, let it warm up, and not worry about it getting stolen because the door is unlocked.
Are you kidding me? I'm a salaried worker and would LOVE to be paid hourly for the overtime I put in. I work at a small company and things have gotten much better since I started but I'd be in a much better position financially if I actually got some overtime pay.
I generally agree with this sentiment but I don't think carrying a balance at all is necessarily crazy. For example, when I first moved out on my own I had to buy a whole lot of things just to get on my feet. For this, I carried a balance. Maxing out 9 cards is obviously not in the same league as this though (unless each card has a balance of like $500).
Don't most of these stats sites use cookies to track unique visitors? Assuming this is the case then there is probably a flaw in their methodology. IE users tend to be less technically inclined and therefore unlikely to delete cookies. Firefox users are probably the most likely group to block/delete cookies regularly. Wouldn't this cause Firefox numbers to be artificially high?
Obviously I don't know whether this is true or not but I could see it having an impact on the overall numbers.
I don't know the exact statistics but I do know that the "Stranger Danger" movement was one of the most damaging things that could have been done. A VAST majority of abductions, molestation, killing, etc... of children is done by people they know and trust (usually a family member).
I'm 25 and I had a very similar childhood to cayenne8's. Maybe I was strange for my age but from what I saw I don't really think so. I think the fear and paranoia is much more recent than you think.

Very true. It never bothered me before but it's sure to now.
Is momentarily really misused that often? I can't say that I've noticed it. Do you have any examples of what you've seen?

This is only the Mr. Fusion. We still need the flux capacitor or this won't be a concern.
Yeah but the speedometer has some inaccuracies so keep it below 85 to be safe.
The rest of the questions may be bullshit but they describe jimbolauski to a tee so clearly he's a CS programmer.

Me too.. but that's mainly because there's no way to get to my front door without going over some steps.

It may be damn hard to become a doctor but the pay wouldn't be nearly as high if the number of doctors weren't so tightly controlled

That sounds more like a technical lead or system architect than a manager.
2. It's pretty damn freezing. Tell me when I can wear shorts and a muscle T in December and I'll believe in AGW.

I agree with your point. I was just making a joke that to discover the answer I did no solving, I just searched for the answer.
Nope, I just googled it
