Yeah, I'm not impressed either. My little brother built a particle accelerator when he was 5 that's just down-right awesome, our folks were really proud of him.
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering about. Are they cloning them just to give them to people who never/poorly developed theirs or can you add new ones to people with naturally working ones? Is the thymus gland even something you can transplant?
I think it would be really awesome to have a super wicked immune system. You could play practical jokes on your friends like slip VX gas into their soda and watch them get queasy for 5 minutes until his body killed the toxins. Or you could heal yourself from knive and gunshot wounds in seconds(a common problem for us anti-outside geeks).
No kidding on the quads part. I played Police 911 for about 20 minutes a few weeks ago, and for those that haven't played it when mos tpeople duck they bounce up and down on their quads, which really isn't good for them. So I quit playing, stand up, take two steps, and my legs just buckle. I was cool to walk 10 minutes later, but it's definately hurt like hell for the rest of the day.
I live in Nevada, and we're pretty pissed we didn't get the plates. That's our history, it's who we are, and for someone to say it won't happen because it's offensive is like taking every test site worker that has ever put in an honest days work and pimp-slapping him.
We put in 50 years+ with that site in our back yard. The U.S. winning WW2 started in Nevada at the test site. Hundreds of older workers now have cancer, others never made it this far.
And for all the heart ache they tell us they're ashamed of what those workers accomplished. It's bullshit. For a massive final insult, they decide to store high level nuclear waste in our backyard. Their isn't a nuclear power plant in the entire state, yet we get to store it. None of our tests, mind you, have produced waste in more than 10 years, they're all subcritical(they stop just before achieving fusion).
I don't work at the test site, either, but I do work in Las Vegas at a support site in the IT department.
"University of Northern Iowa is known for it's education(it's not that great though)"
Get out, you're kidding. And I thought only my school was known for it's ability to educate people. Then you go and throw me a curve ball like that.
Oh, and my school was known for its beautiful grass fields(they were mostly rocks, though).
"Often, children will ask me where does rain come from, and I reply 'God is crying' and if they ask 'why is God crying' I always say 'I don't know, but it's probably something you did'"
The funniest thing, someone of your mindless tenacity and limited intellect would destroy bnetd long before blizzard would if you ever attempted to help them on any level.
Why do you have to relate to a time 200 years ago to get your point across? Are you that starved for attention that you bring up something like that as an example of something worth fighting for. We have great and powerful issues in this day and age, pick of them. And the parrot comment is ignorant. As someone that thinks software piracy is not noble, I'm in the minority here on slashdot...so who am I parroting?
I'm bored with you at this point. You go on thinking your some great warrior in an epic battle and I'll go on believing your a software pirate, and never the two shall meet. Deal?
I would say being anti-criminalistic and trying to rise above over-bearing organizations and ideals in law-abiding and intelligent ways rather than through guerilla tactics is what being an American is all about.
People like vegetablespork sit in warez chatrooms all day and tell themselves ther're some great and important freedom fighter when in actuallity their criminals. I happen to like Warcraft, so when it comes out I'll get my 50 dollars, go down their and buy it.
And then I'll play it on battle.net and it will be good because battle.net won't kick me out for having a pirated version.
I would think the very notion of stealing is something that wouldn't of entered your mind if you were a resonably intelligent and moral person.
When I read post like yours I want to tell the MPAA and the recording industry "You know what, you guys are right. These kids aren't freedom fighters or music lovers/movie lovers or anything remotely good and moral. They're criminals, plain and simple."
We shouldn't support Blizzard and their evil ways but we should steal? People like you are the reason extremely intelligent people refuse to read slashdot.
Ahh, if you were just being sarcastic, then my bad. Most people are dead serious though when they post stuff like that, so you know where I was coming from.
I don't support either of them. That's what makes me different; I haven't adopted this battle into my stupid battle of choice. When people type that whole M$ crap I just cringe because the majority of you that do it are 15 years posting to/. from your parents AOL connection talking about how you run debian this or redhat that just so the other dorks in CS club will think your cool even though it never occurs to you that they're just as much of a poser as you are.
When Linux dies, it's because people like you will have turned it into Microsoft.
Dude, you're such a poser and a fan-boy. I don't know whether to laugh or cry reading your post. Oh, one sec, I decided. Laughing it is.
Words cannot describe the rush of ideas I'm having right now for replies. I couldn't get to them all, and they're all equally important, so I'm not even going to try.
You are the true Linux bitch-boy. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, but never once have I been so petty that I adopt the whole microsoft vs. linux thing as my political battle of choice. It's an operating system bro, plain and simple, not a philosophy, not a dogma, not a maxim. Get your head out of your ass, boot whatever the hell you want to, and go believe in something profound, deep, and meaningful. Doesn't have to religious or even a belief that's easily categorized. Just do something more important than rant about how microsoft is the 7 sign of the apocolypse, because no one's buying the bullshit anymore.
Who cares anymore? I'm so sick of hearing people bash microsoft that I'm developing an urge to send them money and support their cause just to be different.
So only the medicore deserve to play? Now while I'm sure you put a lot of thought into that reply judging by its total lack of logic and mind-numbing stupidity, I must disagree with you. People like me play the game so that people like you have something to aspire to.
And as for the outside remark, I just got back from playing tennis for 45 minutes in 95 degree weather. What'd you do?
No, not a parody. If I attempted to make a movie that borrowed so much from another story that it was pretty obvious what I was going for, wouldn't I be in some form of trouble?
Here's an example: That movie that came out awhile back "10 things I hate about you" is an OBVIOUS modern-day adaptation of "The taming of the shrew". I forget if they referened Shakespeare, but if they didn't mention him or "The taming of the shrew" in anyway, would they at risk for a legal battle?

Mr. Burns, we promise to thaw you out of cryogenic freezing just as soon as we discover the cure to...19 stab wounds in the back.

..I thought Circuit City had been phased out as a whole already.

I'm waiting for "Ned Beatty's eXtreme down river rowing".
I'm 22 years old, I didn't have much to do with WW2. And if you want to see a grave I suggest you go check out Arlington National Cemetary.

What the hell are you talking about? What about Metallica?
I see you failed to pick up the introspectiveness in my statement.
Nothing will EVER be funnier than:
"Often, children will ask me where does rain come from, and I reply 'God is crying' and if they ask 'why is God crying' I always say 'I don't know, but it's probably something you did'"
I think the real question is, why would anyone over the age of 14, like myself, still read this site?
