    The last tine we physically put a human on another piece of rock was when exactly?

    By we I assume you mean America, and the last time the US put someone on another piece of rock was the last time that someone was on another piece of rock.

    If you really want to know exactly, it was December 14, 1972, 22:54:37 UTC.

  4. Re:This is why everyone should vape. on Every Year of Smoking Causes About 150 New DNA Mutations That Can Make Cancer More Likely, Says Study (latimes.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    There was a recent study that showed MOST models of vaporizers still burn the nicotine oil to "vaporize" it. So you're still releasing most the same exact carcinogens, plus you're inhaling burning baby oil. Maybe this is not so safe after all. (Don't ask for a citation. It was posted here on /., find it yourself.)

    You do realise alot of the bad stuff is added to the tobacco or is in the paper for various reason. It's not just the nicotine which is relatively harmless on its own.

  5. Nobody should vape either. Quit polluting my air, faggot.

    So you don't drive then?

  6. Hell yeah, I want to mutate me some fire breath!

  7. There have been studies for years that have proven that smoking kills. They have been called "cancer sticks" for decades. But regardless of the fact that people know that smoking kills people just keep on smoking and burning their money away. You can't cure stupid.

    You can say the same about alcohol.

  8. This is why smoking should be illegal. It has no legitimate redeeming value, while causing massive costs due to health care, human losses, reduced quality of life, and a multitude of other problems. Furthermore, smokers should never be allowed to smoke around non-smokers without clear and direct consent. You don't have the right to cause me to develop cancer just because you have a disgusting habit. Any smoker who lights up around non-smokers without consent should be shot on the spot.

    How about fuck off. There is one place you have control over the environment and other people and that's your home. If you don't like perfectly legal actions others are taking in public then you are totally free to fuck off back there and never come back out. You won't be missed and the rest of the grown ups can get on with their lives.

    It's harder to just get on with shit when your so occupied with what colour every fucker is. Give it a rest already. Racism hasn't even a chance of going away while you're all on about black this, white that, brown, yellow, red and all the rest of it (apparently only black and white are the ones worth a damn though). Same with gender. Is white cop shoots innocent black person any worse than black cop shoots innocent white person and are either worse than cop shoots innocent person? If your answer is yes, you're part of the problem.

    All Facebook has to do is get a few big name devs onboard, or convince Epic that Unreal Engine should be able to target Gameroom, and they are sorted.

    Not even nearly. You clearly aren't a gamer. To even stand a chance to capture the core gamer as you put it they would need to bag exclusivity deals to make people consider abandoning their chosen platform but that will more than likely make them abandon the game. There are shitloads of games, on a bunch of platforms, only a few of which are actually any good though, it needs to better than all the competition otherwise why would people bother, and it won't be.

    The Wii U flopped only because it was marketed horribly, didn't have 3rd party support, and didn't have enough 1st party support. The console previous was one of the best selling consoles ever.

    The wii might have been one of the best selling things ever but that was only because of the casual and "sports" stuff on it. There were very few proper games and even less that weren't put out by nintendo. They won't replicate that again and this new switch things looks like it will suffer the same fate as the wiiu. They'll keep on selling a fuckton of ds' though or whatever handheld they replace that with whenever they get around to it. Oh yeah, this facebook thing ain't going anywhere either.
