How many times could we have gone to mars and back on the 300 billion Bush asked for an received to invade Iraq for reasons which still, 2 years later, have never been explained and now after these latest memos from Britain seem murkier and more nefarious than ever?
It's because these games are structured in a rigid, proscribed fashion. This is partly on purpose because the revenue model depends upon providing a consistant service to the customer, but also because adding in some dyanmism is hard, or at least hard to understand.
My favorite roguelike. Not for balance reasons, although every class I've played has been fun, but for some earthy quality that I can't quite pin down.
Newsweekgate is just a distraction from the fact that noone doubts, and now the Pentagon has confirmed, that Qurans are being desecrated.
Qurangate is just a distraction from the fact that these guys are held illegally without due process.
Boohoo-no-day-in-court-for-terroristsgate is just a distraction from the fact that we routinely torture and kill these guys and that we know many of them are innocent.
Only last year I heard a survey of women who were asked to rank different the different professions they'd slept with as lovers. "Programmer" ranked the lowest. Something like "Truck Driver" was tops.
Now, its interesting. Niether of these professions are known to be fit, both sit on their asses all day. So what gives?
I think it's confidence, and that confidence is the number one turn on for women in bed. If you're a programmer and you're pushing the edge of what you know every day, overconfidence can kill you. It's worthwhile to question yourself, to wonder if there's a better way, to be curious and humble.
Another angle is that for a truck driver, sex may just be the only interesting thing in his life, and he devotes all of his brain power to it.
When I was kid there was this one hottub where they left the plastic cover over part of it. Some of us would get under that cover going for a sauna effect. After only a minute or two, some gas truly irritating to the lungs would build up and we'd have to flee. Always figured it was Chlorine.
This speech on the eve of war is chock full of lies.
But Monicagate wasn't about the lies, it was about the sex, which is why Bush *was* impeached for dating a male prostitute who declares himself a "top".
You mean he got away with that, too? WTF is going on around here?
No it's not. It's a leap to conclusions. "Nothing will happen" does not follow from "there is no God." and "We're doomed." doesn't follow from "There is a God." unless you're arrogant enought to assume you know God's will.
But, it's fairly clear he does not exist.
Unless you've had some kind of divine revelation to the effect that there is nothing divine, which would be weird, this is a big leap of illogic on your part!
Yes, it's too strong of a statement, but the lack of evidence supporting the usual ideas of God is deafening.
The more common statements in support of the existence of God are far less sound.
While Moore's fans trumpeted the series as the first comics that made the medium "serious" because of storytelling that involved the humanity of the heroes (including fear, doubt, guilt, etc), this is, to put it none too mildly, Bullshit.
I'm neither a Moore fan, nor a comics fan, but this seems to miss the point of why so many like the Watchmen and see it as original.
Moore breaks a taboo that pervades much of fiction, not just the comics: the suggestion that those in power might not have thought through what they are doing, that they may not even care enough or be smart enough to think things through.
Slashdot Mirror
considering Luca's penchant for remakes, probably >= 0 is more correct.

Dance for your peanut, little monkey!

I don't think I like Ubuntu anymore. It's linux for human beings, but I think aliens should be alowed to use it too.
This is the sort sig that cuts both ways. If you read it and remember it, you'll laugh and think better of Ubuntu when you next encounter it.
If you don't remember it, you'll think Ubuntu...that's the distro full of snobs and bigots or something.
Is there any word more stupid than "fewer"? What's it's antonym, "manyer", "lotser"?
Isn't velocity proportional to the square root of the distance? I think you'd only be looking at 2/(n^1/2).

Warning. Do not go down on "Durian".
If you find yourself a submissive woman, your superiority complex could turn into a plus in the bedroom.

I value ingenuity. I value openness. Most importantly, I value liberty.
That sounds more like a free operating system running on commodetized parts.
The Revolution will be Slashdotted.
Cities will just say: You made ten thousand dollars on interest last year, so you won't mind if we cut next years budget by ten thousand.
You going to take His Word for it?

I'd like to see inertia. That would stop people from dodging machine gun fire by juking back and forth and many other unrealistic movement tactics.
Battlefield made solved this problem somewhat simply by making foot movement slow.
Nethack is great, but lately I've begun to prefer Linley's Crawl. It's more earthy, IMHO.
If we had any brains in our heads, we'd be exposing 8-12 year olds to ground breaking work, when their brains are still maleable.
People who are chums with the board that sets their sallary add tremendous value to the company, apparantly.
This is good logic on their part!

That's some pretty good taboo-breaking company.

I'd bet the us has lumps of iron up there with thrusters on it that they can direct into any sattelite they choose so that it looks like an accident.
