It sounds crazy, but that's what happens. Go Google for the article with the Israeli Mossad torture expert. You have deep subconsious shit that goes off to make you a martyr. It doesn't work for everybody, but for a lot of people it becomes just so satisfying to piss off the assholes trying to fuck with you at some point that you don't really care about the little nagging prison time and everything anymore.
You think you'll enter a theatre again to pirate a movie you already paid to see so some stranger can see a crapy copy for free?
Yep. The ugly facts of psychology. Between acting out of spite and acting out of self-interest, spite almost always wins. That's why torture never works. Between not having them jab a spike into your balls, and making the jerk who wants to do that feel like he's bad at torture, you go with making the guy feel bad.
A good half of the time, the guy you make the example of gets out and goes out and does it again, just on principle. That's why we invented "penitentiaries", you want to make the guy feel like he did something wrong before you let him out, otherwise you've just made it more likely he'll do it again.
"Zzzzzzzzzzz..." "Sir..." "Zzzzzzzwhazat?" "Yea h, uh, we're gonna be placing you under arrest..." "What? Oh, no, It's cool, I was kinda sleepy, so I'm time-shifting this for tomorrow morning." "Well, all right." "Yeah, whatever. ZZZZzzzzzzz..."
I actually paid to see Colin at the Comedy Cellar, right before Tough Crowd went on. We were all just "what the fuck happened since he quit SNL?" Not like he was that great on SNL either, but he should have at least been funnier than the announcer guy. We kinda gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was stoned, but then Tough Crowd came on the next week and proved that wrong.
Yeah, but that would imply that, you know, his ship is going to actually be useful, or at least an accomplishment, like that warp drive thing, as opposed to some hunk of plastic that tumbles uncontrollably for several seconds just barely above the arbitrary altitude at which NASA decided that space begins.
Call me back when you build something to get me to the ISS, or the moon, maybe, or at least offers me something I can't already get at Six Flags for $20.
Do you really think Iraq has the manpower and know-how to repair an oil pipeline that was destroyed by terrorists in TWO days?
Um, yes? They did pretty fine pumping their billions of barrels of oil for the past 70, 80 years, and repairing the damage after countless wars. I don't see why they'd start sucking now. They produce a fuck of a lot more oil than we do, that's for sure, and they've had a hell of a lot more practice than whatever 3rd-string dorks Halliburton shipped over. The only reason we bring in Halliburton is they import Greek and Russian muscle who don't speak Arabic and are, frankly, just too dumb to take bribes to sabotage things. It's not like they're any good at this stuff, the army gets bids from the Iraqi engineering firms who built the stuff in the first place, to have it fixed in 1/4 the time and at 1/10th the price, it's just that we don't trust them to do it.
Jew karate indeed. That shit will get you killed so bad. Every time I hear somebody say Krav Maga I always think of those retards who got their ass shot at a bank robbery trying to take the guy's gun. Seriously, that the videos they try and sell you include a "bar fight" example should tell you all you need to know about them. Martial arts are just mediocre substitues for fight experience mixed with pseudo-mystical BS to try and scare people off before the fight starts. That's all. All your Krav Maga shit is going to say to Mr. Al Qaeda Kidnapper is that you've read Cryptonomicon way to many times, and possibly that you're an unloved, lonely nerd who, as such, would probably make a poor hostage.
What the hell is with Adult Swim and Rush, anyway?
"The office terror alert level has been raised from blackwatch plaid to the cover of the seminal Rush album, Moving Pictures."
And for the record, both Rushes suck. Although, the fat one is a living demonstration of the maxim that he who takes the most drugs is always the superior musician.
This is the magazine, not an op-ed, so it's even farther seperated. Completely different staff from the Times itself. Practically speaking, you can assume the magazine editors agree with this, but that doesn't mean anything to the Times newspaper.
Also, the Times doesn't really have a parent corporation, it's owned by the NYT Company.
This is kinda funny, considering how everybody's been making fun of how this movie's based on a book by Art Bell. Art Bell, of course, being George Carlin's favorite radio show, and something George calls in to fairly regularly.
It's only as bad as Godzilla and Independence Day, and I really doubt it's not a comedy, considering those two. You're like one of those people who goes on about how the Matix was too pretentious. Who the fuck cares? This ain't fucking art, people, if you had fun, it's good, and if you didn't have fun at Godzilla, then you're one humorless fucker.
A guy like him? This is not some hippie. (well, he actually has a lot in common with your Bjorn Lomborg types, hippies of a sort) People trying to come up with reasons why global warming doesn't exist use his theories far more often than environmentalists do. How many times have you seen the "as CO2 increases more plants will grow to compensate you filthy liberal!!!!" right here on Slashdot? That's the Gaia theory, straight from this guy's book.
Of course, they also manage to combine that with a belief that deforestation and extinctions don't effect that moderating effect, but that's beside the point. Lovelock never had any problem with nuclear power. He's an environmentalist, not a anti-nuke activist. People that hate nukes hate them because they hated the cold war and extended that into a hatred of nuclear chemistry in general. That or they just took phyics in college and don't like all this stuff about hurtling beta particles penetrating their precious organs. They don't hate nuclear power because it somehow disrupts the balance of nature.
This is just a weird article. Sure, he's right and all, but I don't get this crap with the big capitalized "Left", whatever the fuck that is, and just the random politicization of what's mostly just a pretty straightforward factual point. Of course, Mr. "Steamy Mobile" doesn't really help with trying to make "nyah nyah you liberals suck!" the core point and trying to claim Slashdot is on the forefront of scientific progress. I seriously have been busting out laughing all through writing this over that one. Holy shit.
That's the shittiest idea I've ever heard. You have literally 10,000 years of history in this fictional universe worked out and you're going to waste three movies recapping shit that's already been done? Leave the shit alone, damnit. Yes midichlorians, yes virgin birth, yes Jar Jar. Don't go fucking shit up because you want it to be for you. If you want to spend 600 million dollars on something, do some Sith wars or Admiral Thrawn. Or do a couple dozen animated movies about bounty hunters, even better.
Honestly, I kinda like Episode 1 now. It's been long enough that I just ignore the bad parts, like I do with the old bunch.
This is the Sun, remember, it's 50/50 odds they just made up the surfing bit to make the article funnier. You don't exactly trade on your journalistic integrity in the softcore porn business.
They had Perfect Dark 0 in progress for Gamecube, and then they got bought so they were going to port it to X-Box, but then they all got drunk and said they'd maybe get around to it next year. Then they caught some kind of horrible anime disease and they've been in quarantine ever since.

Thanks, mods, good work.

Oh, yeah, like you can survive here legally just mopping floors and picking tomatoes.
Yes.
WRONG.
Last time I checked, homosexuals haveZZZZZZZZ...
Sometimes I just want to cry...
To answer your question, yes, "niggaz" can be terrorists. As can spics, spear chuckers, chinks, jiggaboos, injuns, slants, camel jockeys, kikes, porch monkeys, micks, beaners, dot heads, faggots, japatronics, pope-fuckers, oreo cookies, frogs, gooks, wetbacks, wops, jungle bunnies, slopes, and coons.
Well thank God you warned us, we never could have guessed.
You tell 'em, Steve-Dave.
it's making a crime out of the proactive action of training or assiting somebody who intends on comitting a big crime.
It's called "conspiracy", we invented it somewhere around 5,000 B.C. Try to keep up, kids.

This is the Sun, remember, it's 50/50 odds they just made up the surfing bit to make the article funnier. You don't exactly trade on your journalistic integrity in the softcore porn business.

So, Perfect Dark sequel? No.
