I can see that people get a little bit of cognitive dissonance on this one. "Oh my god I invested 500 hrs in this game; IT MUST BE AWESOME!" All in all it is not that hard. You just need to be careful, keep your shield up, roll, and stab.
You're preaching to the Choir. But expert witness, those trained in situational awareness or other with professional skills can offset many of those shortcomings. E.g. professional soldiers who know what cordite smells like.
Just play offline if you are trying to control world tendency. I am always in soul mode as I am trying to stay pure white for my first game, if you want to be black then dying is great for your black progression. If you are in coop three guys should whoop ass on any invader. But yeah the OCD draw of this game is creepy. The illusion of a perfectly played game is there but wholly evilly unattainable.
This game rocks BTW. On one level if you attempt to get multi-player coop help you are abducted by the level end boss and become his unwitting proxy. You must fight another person playing the game. This makes that level very hard as equipment, tactics, and skill are all essentially random. This is really just the cream on the top of the almost transparent but pervasive and enticing multi-player world. Demon's Souls is the shit.
Not a Troll. The hole in the Pentagon is symmetrical all the way through. One pentagon official at the scene said "I could smell cordite." Not that I think the Bush kakistocracy had the skill to pull it off which means something else was at work.
SciAm had an article I have referenced before showing the the equations for economics we incorrectly generalized from physic equations and those and been invalidated since. Economics is not a science at all.
No. He got 10,000 hrs of computer programing time before he finished college, he was well connected, well educated, was in the right place at the right time and he was a bully. The total package is nothing like luck. Luck is only one limiting factor for growth, to become the richest man on earth you need a shit load more than luck.
p.s. On a side note MS needs to fire Balmer. He was OK when being a bully was effective, but that time is gone. p.p.s PAY A FUCKING DIVIDEND YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER.
Clearly it is cover for real underlying electronic throttle issues. Toyota says this software fix is for mats when really it is THE fix. Plus the three month cycle time is debatable they may have been working on this for years or one angry engineer may have been working on it for years.
Why are towers a necessity? Oh they might not be. Imagine a world of wide-band fractal antenna peer to peer devices and access points powered by a negotiated free market where you decide $/bit you pay and what provider latency and bandwidth you need.
On a disaster related idea read "Rainbows End" by Vernor Vinge. When the shit hits the fan the military saturates the area with network access points dropped from the air to overwhelm enemy networks and provide infrastructure for their operations. Just rain solar, battery powered, peer to peer mesh AP's on a disaster.
Technically Haiti is referred to as the "fourth-world" in political science because it is so bad that they think it will never get better. Read Collapse by Jared Diamond about what deforestation does to a civilization.
Helmet: A thing to keep your brains in your skull while on a bike, a motorcycle, skis, or during rough sex. Throttle: a device to control the speed of a vehicle.
I found it odd that the NPR reporter didn't ask Brain if he thought that being owned by the larges military contractor in the world doesn't effect how they report on politics or military spending.
I did answer this above and got modded flamebait incorrectly. There is a difference that is a technical definition from abnormal psychology. A Religion is a set of beliefs that without support would seem abnormal but are generally accepted. I said "A delusion shared by many people" slightly to be a dick but it nonetheless totally true. A cult is a group that uses cognitive dissonance to recruit and indoctrinate it's followers. Cognitive dissonance means the difference between what you do and what you believe. The result is that if there is a difference between thought and action thought will change to match action. So if you do something without a really good reason, say money, then you will come to believe that what you did was right or correct. It is easier to alleviate mental pain by changing you believe to match your executed actions of the past.
Cult use this as a stepped system to make you believe more and more and more and more until... "oh my, my actions are controlled by alien space ghosts."

You sir are correct. You win a roll of gaffer's tape.
What has a light side and a dark side and holds the universe together?
I kept waiting for some killer game but didn't notice it ever. Any ideas?

There is no cordite on airliners.

All ITA does is find palindromic pan-grams, nothing to see here, move along.

You are totally fucking wrong. Your work just allows for luck to create growth.

Bullshit. I tether right now with AT&T. I bought my phone. Pay up front for freedom or be someones bitch for a discount.
Why is this funny? If you can afford the penthouse you can afford some chicken-wire and a ground under the drywall.

I wonder if you could add one more battery and be able to then swap out all of the batteries one at a time without losing power.
Some important words/ides for you.

Sorry but no. The difference is technical and profound.
Religion: n, A delusion shared by many people.
Cult: n, A group that uses cognitive dissonance to recruit and indoctrinate it's followers.
I still have a microwave with two analogue dials, time and power. It works shockingly well but it is too damn big to fit under the counter.
I musician I knew loved the Nord Lead II synth because the knobs felt like "Nipples."
