  5. Re:This Calls For... on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    Most people don't know what wall-to-wall counseling is, as its kinda a military term. You get a B for effort and a C for content. Note: For anyone that reads enough of that military field manual and gets shocked and outraged, but doesnt read enough of it to get its a joke. Its a joke.

    Yes I have. I was pointing out that the video game was similar to an actual weapon in use.

    I qualified consistently expert utilizing both the M16A2 in basic, and the M4 later on. If you wish I can email you score sheets, I still have most if not all of them. Any other inane off-topic questions?

    With a lot of new equipment the army is fielding, hand eye co-ordination was a major factor too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Weapon_System A lot of the army's vehicles are equipped with these now. Ive used one, it is almost exaclty like a video game screen. They also love the fact that they can start feeding you things like rank structure, acronyms, small unit tactics, and other assorted army tidbits, everybit you come in with on your own, the less they have to teach you.

  11. Re:so, is Google going to stop running scam ads? on FTC, Google Go After Scammers · · Score: 4, Informative

    In addition to taking Pacific WebWorks (PWEB) to court, Google said it is continuing efforts to remove scam sites from its index. The company also said it would permanently disable Google AdWords accounts that provide a "poor or harmful" user experience whether or not they use Google's trademark illegally.

    Sounds like they plan on trying to get rid of the scams from adwords.

  21. Re:Whodathunk on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    You don't know what your talking about, perhaps the wikipedia page is lacking info whereas I should have left a better source. Here is a quote from the henry ford meuseum "After two unsuccessful attempts to establish a company to manufacture automobiles, the Ford Motor Company was incorporated in 1903 with Henry Ford as vice-president and chief engineer." This supports my claim that he failed at making cars before he made cars. Source :http://www.hfmgv.org/exhibits/hf/#fmc

    He failed at making cars, before he succeeded. He didnt do much else.. just cars.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford

  23. Re:On the Obama bit on Ambassador Claims ACTA Secrecy Necessary · · Score: 1

    He didn't hint anything racist, didn't have any racial overtones, hell he even bitched about bush, just because one study says that if you disagree with Obama on anything your a racist, doesn't make it true.

    From your article:

    "People high in anti-black bias were 43 percent less likely to vote for Obama than those with a lesser bias.

    Really? Never would have guessed. (Please note sarcasm present)

    And please note, I did vote for Obama, and support a good portion of his policies. Im just tired of hearing "racists" thrown back and forth, it really detracts from the conversation, and has absolutely nothing to do with the original topic.

    Ex post facto laws are under most circumstances illegal in the United States, and Canada.
