If you are on an island, and sneaking, laying in the grass and you are about to encounter your alien overlords in an invasion, then the realistic graphics are a must. It's all part of the experience. Nobody is going to care about your game if the aliens invasion is on a 8bit coloured gameboy.
People who lie (as in fabricate their own lie, not repeat someone else's lie under the belief that it is true) about something will almost always eventually either admit to it, or leave enough cracks in their logic for their lie to be exposed, and THEN admit to it.
So now you're maintaining that people who never admit they've lied must be telling the truth? That makes even less sense then your first position.
Herein, we have the difference between dying for something you BELIEVE is true, and dying for something you KNOW is not.
Do we? You may wish to remember that the lives of the early saints are something we know in any detail about only through Christian legend. Heavily editted, and often completely made-up Christian legend. I see no reliable evidence that those who knew about Jesus's life and death first hand willingly went to martyrdom. And even if they did, it doesn't prove that they believed in Jesus's resurrection, only that they believed in Jesus's ideals.

Very strange, as magnetic field lines are entirely imaginary.
No, they're quite real. Being immaterial aspects of electro-magnetism, they are, however, normally invisible. Here, however, you can see the superhot plasma flowing along them, much as you can get iron filings on a piece of paper to do with an ordinary magnet.
absurdities (procedures and times allotted for bathroom breaks, approved travel times when summoned for random drug tests, approved procedures for filing reports on infractions committed by other employees, etc.)
I might note that some of these are not so absurd, particularly when dealing with union labor. Procedurees and times allotted for bathroom breaks? When it is necessary that a station be properly manned at all times, you can't have everybody heading to the can at the same time. Approved travel time when summoned for a drug test? Well, yeah. If you can take two hours, it becomes much easier to set up arrangements to cheat. Why not just use common sense for these problems? 'Cause with union labor, you can't. You have to be able to point to a specific rule that states in some measurable quantity what the employee did wrong. So specific rules like these have to be set up.
Anyway, as a dutch person who has biked in the states (Knoxville, TN area) I was absolutely appaled by the risks bikers have to take on americans roads. I was trying to make my way from my parents house to knoxville, a minor 10 mile ride, and at one point found myself forced to take an interstate... holding to the shoulder of course but it was rocky and all... worthless and dangerous.
And illegal. Bikes are not allowed on to interstate highways.
The guarantee of delivery and guaranteed order sounds pretty worthless when doing file transfers. If there are missing bits the client can just request them later.
In other words, do what TCP does, except you have to write it yourself. "Those who ignore TCP are doomed to re-implement it. Badly."
Maybe there's some super-sekrit registry tweak you gotta do before Explorer will believe that Firefox is your default browser, but if that's the case, it kinda proves my point, doesn't it?
1. New products will need to be designed that use their energy more efficiently. Which produces jobs. 2. Industries will have to buy new products to increase their efficiency to stay within limits. 3. People who have jobs from 1 will be spending money again.
I got an idea. We can come and break every window in your house. Better yet, we'll break every window in every house on your block. Think of the jobs created when those windows have to get fixed!

X-Com can be had (cheap!) on Steam, all set up to run properly on a modern PC. And, yes, I do play it.
You need to play X-Com so much.

That is standard Islamic doctrine, yes. More hardline Muslims will in fact destroy translations of the Koran as perversions of the original.
The language, and the interpretations, are carefully preserved and taught in Islamic religious schools.
And your supporting evidence for these assertions is...?
So your argument is that if people go to their deaths for a belief, it must therefore be true?
Word of advice, you may want to think very carefully before answering "yes" to that question.

Has he ever considered just trying Facebook?
I find it hard to take seriously anybody who uses the word "testilying". Talk to me when you get past this need for sixth-grade-level name calling.

What encryption method are you using? I find that if your computer is having trouble keeping up, going to blowfish often works well.

Fully patched XP, check.
Firefox 3.0.11, set as default browser by its own dialog box, check.
Explorer starts up http://www.google.com/ in IE, check.

In XP, that is a 100% lie. I just tried it. Google opened in IE, despite Firefox being my default browser.
Riiiiight. What's a qubit?
When you realize that the Valar and Maiar are angels, making Morgoth Satan, and Sauron and balrogs devils, it matches fairly well.

Unless the analysis is also encrypted.
A fair number of Iranians have seen 300. "Not amused" would be fair description of the average reaction.
Of the many words that could be used to describe Lord of the Rings, "secular" really isn't one of them.
It's all in who you regard as the good guys. How about paralleling the motorcycle-riding police with the Riders of Rohan?
So, how do you sense technology?
"Technology sense...tingling!"
Assuming you meant the first "have" to be "just", that results in:
Huh?
