That's not mass destruction. That's just destruction. Most of the poison gas Iraq has was given to it by... US! We used to be big friends with Saddam Hussein. Rumsfeld shook his hand. I have the picture. 1970s. WMDs are nukes and such. Duh.
It's also thanks to the government that the unions are protected.... However, even if you don't give a corporation a corporate charter (Something I am pretty much against ANYWAY) -- you would still have similar evil forces, but just with another name. Big Brother sucks, but sometimes you need him. And I say this as someone who refuses to vote democrat or republican, so I take govt with a grain of salt:)
without a government a big "corporation" would simply hire mercenaries to enforce their will. these days, we'd be worse off under a truly free market than we are now -- which is pretty damn bad anyway.
The world can only end once. That it didn't this time says nothing about naysayers being right or wrong in the long term. If it ends in cataclysm, there will be nobody left to say "but they were right!". But they would be. And everyone would die thinking they were insane. So, that the world did not end isn't really conclusive that doomsayers are wrong. They could have just as easily been right, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Wow, so causing you to be late to work is "not peaceful".
Hell man, I must be at war every day driving to work. My traffic is disrupted. It's not peaceful. Someone should be arrested. That will fix everything.
That is the whole point of fair use - archival copies for backup purposes. The idea that if you've lost the original, you no longer have rights for the mp3s does not sit right with me!
Everyone: Make sure that if your stuff is stolen, that you file a police report, so that you can prove you once owned these discs.
Nothing like having 50 people shouting 50 different answers to confuse you further. Granted, you can always find your answer: But often you'll find multiple answers, and have to try them all out until you find one that's satisfactory. If a book ends up being "right" most of the time, it could indeed save a lot of time.
This guy is one of the bigger douchebags on the planet. At least, if you only count people who sit on their computer and type stuff. He likely ended careers and prevented many people from getting hired again by pretending to be something he was not, and then revealing things that people did not want revealed - to the public.
But hey, maybe your sexual tastes are normal enough that you don't need to use tools like the internet to find your match. Lucky you.
When you talk on the phone, you are sending an unencrypted version of your speech through the copper wires, into telephone poles that cross public space. Why do you expect privacy when you have just transmitted your conversation via [sort-of-]publicly-owned wires?
There was no phone privacy at first. Congress had to make it law. Now we are seeing the same metaphor NOT being extended to the modern day equivalent. That constitutes an erosion of rights.
Life is just a random arrangement of amino acids, which naturally form when enough lightning hits basic chemicals. You should look into the experiments Carl Sagan did in the 1970s.
except that it's over-sensitive, making it less fun. I can do medium on most songs in DDR, but give me the exact same arrows on stepmania, on the exact same pads, and I can't do it. I then have to go to easy level, which is less challenging, and less fun. So much for the $15 I spent at Lik-Sang on that dancepad-to-PC adapter....
The $200 ones are really sturdy, but really don't pass muster in terms of cost trade-off. The $20 mats may as well be slip n' slides. We usually settle on the $60 mats, which are thicker, and have a semi-anti-slip bottom to them. They didn't move around on carpet. And when they die, you can tape a $20 mat to the top of it if you are so inclined.
They also sell anti-slip stuff.. sometimes at the dollar store. I got a few "placemats" made out of these and put them on the bottom for more anti-slippage.
I've seen the $20 mats simply attached to a piece of plywood of equal size. You could just replace the $20 mat when it wears out.
If you play daily, they WILL wear out. Gamestop has a nice $5 2 year replacement policy. I would open mine up every 3-4 months and use a good 5 feet of electrical tape shoring up the rips so they don't get worse. I'd do this 2 or 3X before the mat would just suck and have to be replaced.
It's really not that bad. Especially if you have a low ceiling with stucco on it that you can grab on if you lose your balance:) hehe
All the fun of Guitar Hero, but it was something you could do and still be Geeky before Guitar Hero became "cool". And it actually works your ass off. This is a dumb question. That is the only answer. The rest of you can go to hell.

I actually ahve never thrown away a pair in my life, and keep a pile below my TV at all times. They come from different sources and different parts of the country, and all tend to have red on the right.
So you may have gotten lucky in having glasses already reversed!
Or maybe I am VERY unlucky.
you need RED ON LEFT, BLUE ON RIGHT

To be clearer - when using normal 3-d glasses, the right [ i believe ] eye gets the red (like with RCA cables, the red cable is usually the right channel - I guess because both start with "R"), and the left gets the blue. But these images definitely worked better on my 52-inch HDTV in max resolution with blue on the right eye, and red on the left.
I've been a fan of 3-d for a good 20+ yrs, have several kinds of glasses, am big into optical illusions, have had 20/20 vision my whole life (though this 52-inch HDTV is killing it slowly but surely), so I like to self-nominate myself as a 3-d expert. Good luck. It is indeed quite trippy when you take them off. I advise taking 400mg ibuprofen 15 minutes prior to trying this:)
I don't THINK so. not POSITIVE though.

I THINK it would have to be re-photographed, or re-colored (which wouldn't work very well).
3-D works by using 2 cameras that are the same width across as the average width between the average human eyes (which may explain why some people can see them better than others).
So to flip it, you would essentially have to photograph both pictures again with opposite red/blue tints on the cameras.
If this was a photoshop file with 2 separate layers for each eye, you could LIKELY be able to re-color each layer (though I have to wonder if they would look as good as re-photographing. OF course, we can't go to mars to rephotograph...)
But, once the 2 images are combined, I don't THINK flipping it would work.
though there's one way to empirically find out: flip it. i'm too lazy though.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable on the subject could chime in.

Citation needed, but I trust my own eyes: If you have 3-D glasses, you'll need to fold them inside out / turn them backwards / invert the red and blue. These pictures have red & blue inverted compared to most 3-D images. NASA has it backwards, if you will. The results were MUCH better looking and MUCH less painful with glasses on backwards. With "normal" glasses, my wife & I were both quite confused as to why it sucked so bad. It didn't. NASA just does red blue backwards.
I watch over 100 movies a year -- less than 1% at a theatre, if that. It's just not worth paying 10X what it costs to get it on netflix to NOT be able to piss, pause, smoke, drink, adjust the lighting, sound, or viewing time. My 52-inch HDTV (which is my only computer monitor as well) which I sit about 5 feet away from is quite sufficient. I've seen about 6 theatre movies in 3 years, and mostly regretted them. Many feel the same. It's been covered here before. Movie theatres are struggling. That's why the multiplex ones are so popular.
