Thank you and well said. If I only had mod points today. And to expound a little bit, very few people are about forcing the mother to do anything, or about forcing everyone to conform to their dogma. Again, the vocal minority phenomona (spelling).
And here's where we see that you have nothing useful to say, that you project your own irrationality and lack of analytical thinking onto others. you are safely disregarded.
False dichotomy. False statement. No leftist is ever irrational? No liberal is ever illogical? No conspiracies ever originate on the left?
Let me FTFY. Most heavily biased people people are not analytical thinkers, left or right, religious or athiest.
You disprove your own statement because a lil analytical thinking would reveal that you yourself are failiing to employ it in making such a false blanket statement.
Emotional arguments? Like think of the children? Like what about the poor? Like what about the uninsured? Ya. Republicans really have an exclusive lock on those.
does it matter? by mentioning his use he illustrates that is possible to use such a pen on very thin easily torn paper, such as that commonly used in a bible, thus addressing most of the issues brought up by people saying "dont use a technical".
They cruised at that speed. It was the first "supercruise" aircraft. Reason being the engines (still largely classified as to their internals) were actually much more efficient at that speed. Range was in excess of 3000 miles, at speed (official range is less, but like many things about the blackbird, the "official" numbers dont match up with what the aircraft actually did in operation).
1.Los Angeles, CA to Washington, D.C., distance 2,299.7 miles (3,701.0 km), average speed 2,144.8 miles per hour (3,451.7 km/h), and an elapsed time of 64 minutes 20 seconds.[75] 2.West Coast to East Coast, distance 2,404 miles (3,869 km), average speed 2,124.5 miles per hour (3,419.1 km/h), and an elapsed time of 67 minutes 54 seconds.
Far far >200 miles.
there's also the 15000 miles in 10 hours record. The London to New York run at 1600mph. And the classified sorties made over the Soviet Union, the middle east, and vietnam, where they actually outran missles.
Earth circumfrence: ~24000 miles. Earth rotation rate: 24 hours Math: ~1000mph rotation rate. Who taught you math? But let's just assume you're right for the sake really crushing your post.
SR-71 (and related family): Maximum (unclassified) speed: > 2200 mph. They outran the sun regularly. And the aircraft was never really bottomed out due to safety concerns. MiG-25: >2100 mph. Developed to catch the XB-70. which us to... XB-70: >2000 mph
And there's others as well. So you also dont know your planes.
the phones/plans cost too much, are too restrictive, and frankly, my needs arent so pressing that i cant wait to use the net access at my house or work.
A good game can be a good game regardless of what it was made for. console games dont automatically suck and pc games arent automatically great. a good game is a good game, and as a gamer what i care about is good story and good gameplay. The Last story (wii)? awesome game. fantastic story. Portal/Portal 2 (pc)? Fantastic.
Flip side: sometimes a good game on one system becomes a bad game on another. Example: Halo. on console, it was revolutionary. first well-executed shooter on a console, with decent usable controls. ported to the pc? graphics 2 years behinds pc standard, no real story, no AI, overall subpar to what pc gamers were used to.
Consoles arent basically bad and pc's arent basically good. You know what youre getting into with either purchase (or you should), and good developers can create a great game on either platform. And bad developers can create a bad game on either, and every developers has had a great game on one that turns so-so or bad after being ported cause they didnt do enough debugging.
1- realistically, any abuse of this new "power" will quickly lead to impeachment proceedings. current use has only been successful because the targets were actual terrorist combatants, albeit ones with citizenship. not saying i like it (i dont), but being realistic. he's not gonna be ordering grandma's execution any time soon.
2- no they cant. that's a bald-faced lie.
3a- no they aren't; if they are its isolated cases and every time reported its been strongly denounced 3b- no they aren't. another blatant scaremongering lie.
4- im not canadian but im guessing this one is a severe stretch of an internet conspiracy too.
that requires several hours of use though. they dont take up as much space, and are easier to carry more than a couple of them for whens ituations warrant it, and as mentioned are faster to use when trying to restrain a suspect, particualrly one that is resisting or when there is more than one. standard procedure is to then swap them to ordinary handcuffs as soon as possible.
Just reinforces who the real customer of Yahoo is. It's not the user, it's the ad companies, just like tv shows. And just like tv shows can be killed by bad ratings, yahoo can likewise be killed by losing its already small user base.
Oh please. That nonsense has to stop. You may not agree but that doesnt make him stupid. Opinions dont rate that judgement. And a man that first goes to Yale and then to Harvard Business School, and gets an MBA from same, is about as far from "stupid" as you can get. You also dont get elected to play on the national stage, first as Governor of one of the biggest states in teh country, and than as president, twice, if you're "stupid".
I get it. You dont like the guy. I didnt vote for him either. But your bias is overcoming your rationality.
Not even the church/state bit. People on/. like to forget that since the partys are pretty much 50/50 and something like 85% of the nation is self-identified christian...you CANT lump all the christians into one side. its mathmatically impossible. in fact, like most demographics outside of a few specific ones, christians are fairly even split between the parties too. and that includes a fair portion of fundamentalists that dont like church/state yet vote and side with the dems for other reasons (largely social ones). people like to ignore that. if there's any split, it tends to be more along the lines of protestant/catholic, but even then the majorities are slim.
and boring as hell to boot. at various points it seemed like the purpose, the intended direction of the story, would shift, then 100pgs later shift back again. like the writer tried to shoehorn in a different plot goal and then abandoned it. in the end it seemed like the story didnt arrive at any conclusion, no goal was reached, nothing. it just ended. after 1000 pages and three different time arcs. i made it through, but in the end it was just...blah. what was the point? what was the conflcit? what was the character development (didnt see any, just 1 dimension whole way through)?
i tried to start the quicksilver books too...no go. I really dont see whats so popular about the writer among fellow nerds. the books fail to impress or interest me.
Screw that. If I can create documents, I can use those docs for whatever I damn well please. Smells like yet another perfect chance to strike down EULA's and dumb licenses for good.

Criminal organization breaks law. News at 11.
Also in today's news: A politician lied to get elected. Therefore democracy as a whole is a failure and needs scrapped.

When I play a game i derive my enjoyment from the game itself.
Not from teh hardware running it.
