Scientists may be out to find a why, but it only exists in their minds. "How" and "what" are all that really exist, anything more is anthropomophizing the universe.
That's what science does. It describes the way things behave. "why" is an invention of the human mind. It's not cromulent to expect a scientific answer on "why" things happen, they just do.
Do or do not, there is no try. I don't actually care whether a pol is happy or sad about the consequences of his policy. If it was a forseeable consequence, then it was intentional.
Let's Godwin this thing. Hitler didn't "try" to exterminate the jews. He only "tried" to ensure racial purity among the Aryans. The extermination of european jews was just a regrettable consequence. Right?
What political agenda do you think I'm twisting language to support here? My only agenda is to see that politicians own the consequences of their policies.
From the video it looked like he was trying to shut them up,
Ah, so he's trying to deprive them of their freedom of speech. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a federal crime. (Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242)
I'm sure some comeuppance is on the way, but lets not go nuts about the severity of the macing.
Assault is assault. If I were to mace a police officer without cause, what do you think would happen to me? Why should this officer get off any lighter?
If I were to support significant cuts to social security, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask "Is F69631 trying to end welfare?"
If you're trying to do X, and X implies Y, then you are trying to do Y. When Y is unpopular you don't get absolved simply because it's an indirect effect X. If Y was forseeable, and you still did X, you intentionally did Y. Take some responsibility for your positions.
If I could vote in one constitutional amendment right now, it would be "No Secret Laws".
Then the courts would just declare a national security exemption. What's actually in the constitution doesn't matter, as long as the courts are willing to disregard it.
If my artist girlfriend can use it with no instruction from me, complaints about complexity ring hollow.
Personally, I find that javascript on average detracts more from the browsing experience than it adds. Slashdot is a perfect example, it's simply not usable with javascript enabled. So even if there was no security benefit at all, it would still be less of a pain in the ass to use NoScript than it would be to browse without it.
Does this affect installations where VirtualBox is run on a Linux host? Or does it affect installations where Linux is run as a VirtualBox guest? Also, is the driver in question part of the kernel, or is it part of VirtualBox?
No, the error is with the courts. The 4th amendment clearly prohibits searches without a warrant. Every single one of them should be impeached for failure to uphold the constitution.
How is a guy who graduated college in 2008 and has been unemployed for 2 years going to run for office? You need resources for that. You need networks of supporters. You need people to donate money, so you can buy ad time. Even for local office.
No one is going to donate to an individual in those circumstances without a damn good reason to believe that they have a chance of winning. A huge demonstration from this demographic is exactly the kind of reason people need to invest in a candiate. And the people are out there, practicing their oratory. The talented ones will get noticed, and be in a much better position to run for office in 2012. This protest is all part of the process.
These protestors may not represent the lower 99% perfectly, but they do a lot better job than their elected representatives have done.
How many people are not there, because they can't afford to leave their jobs? Economic incentive to protest works both ways, if you're going to complain about one you should complain about the other.
This is part of that hard work. This is how we make our voices heard without catering to the monied interests. Organizing is the first step. Showing the country that we care, and we're serious, will make it a lot easier for populist candidates to run in 2012.
I don't see what's so hard to understand about that. It seems to me that you're the one who is unwilling to put in the hard work.
If you look at the older releases, you'll find some dungeon crawling. But not so much in the past 5-6 years (typical length of a "generation").
ToEE is good, but from 2003. Neverwinter Nights I never played, wasn't it an MMORPG? Dragon Age makes nods in that direction, but it's not a dungeon crawler.
The SMT games are excellent, but still pretty solitary examples. It's sad that we have to go all the way to Japan to get a decent dungeon crawler. We invented the genre!
And then if you want to widen the definition of dungeon crawlers to allow for action RPGs, you have no end of titles.
I do not. I'm actually playing through Torchlight currently. It's a good game, but it scratches a significantly different itch than The Bard's Tale.

Hahahaha. WTF are they thinking?

Indeed. If someone would print up some replacements for the gears in a front loading Sega CD, he'd save a lot of consoles from the landfill.

There should be a legal way of being a "superhero",
Perform a citizens arrest on Lloyd Blankfein, and you'll be a real super hero.

Our military is TEN TIMES that of China. We could reduce military spending by a factor of 5 and still have twice the force China does.
There are some cultures out there for which live and let live does not exist
America being foremost among them.
No kidding. If tablets have a problem with scrolling, fix the tablets.

You don't have to be a Paulite to realize that Wickard v. Filburn was as badly decided as Dred Scott.

NoScript blocks more malware than either.
Thanks, I understand the situation better now. Hopefully this move provides some incentive for someone to improve the driver.

No, I'm just plenty willing to abandon accuracy for a cheap pop culture reference.
And then you just get ignored. They're a little harder to ignore now. That's the point of this protest.

Giving power back to the lower 99% of us. I thought we covered this already.

Pray they do not alter it any further.
