People need to stop saying this, because it makes them sound like idiots.
First of all, it doesn't matter what the Constitution says. The whole basis of constitutional law is how the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution.
Yes, the First Amendment originally applied only to Congress. However, more came after that. Specifically, I refer the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
This has been interpreted, on more than one occasion, to refer to the fact that the states must uphold many of the same rights as the federal government does. This has been referred to as the "Nationalization of the Constitution."
Doom, Duke Nukem 3D - I can play them for a while, but I can't watch anyone play them at all. Too dizzymaking.
Quake series - I've played through Quake I (slight dizzyness), and I'm decent at Quake III(no dizzyness here), but Quake II sends me spinning. I have no idea why.
Goldeneye, Perfect Dark - No problems.
Half Life - Loved it.
Half Life 2 - Can't play it. Motion sickness. A real shame, too, from what I hear.
Halo - Excellent. No motion sickness.
BF2 - Works for me. I just don't play it often enough.
Unreal Tournament 200X - Possibly my favorite FPS to play, never had motion sickness while playing it.
I'm not sure why some games do it and some don't. I suppose of all the offenders, Quake II has been the worst.
There is also a voice command "get out." Just say ", get out," and they do so. Sure like it when one of your bots gets in the Raptor, and you want it. Watch him plummet to death. =)
True, there's no expressly stated right to privacy, but I'm of the school of thought that it can be inferred. Regardless, though...
The right to privacy was never stated. The restrictions of privacy were never spelled out, either. What does that mean? That, at least for those of us in the USA, we do have a right to privacy, by the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Our forefathers didn't want our rights spelled out for us. Rights were supposed to be obvious. It's a shame that we live in a society nowadays where the letter of the law is more important than the spirit of the law.
Not necessarily true. Windows does have to be in the first partition of the first hard drive, or else it will bitch, but Grub can map out the partitions and drives in such a way that Windows "thinks" it's the first partition of the first hard drive.
I'm actually glad he didn't say that. In a teaser trailer I saw earlier this year, he said, "She'll be back." The entire theater (including myself) met that comment with a collective groan. The line is old. It gets cheesy and stale if it doesn't get used correctly.
Dude, if Microsoft would do as you suggest, they could still co-operate. The idea of breaking up the corporation should be to bring back competition into the market. But the three companies, as outline, would not be competing over anything. If Microsoft were to be split up, it should be into multiple identical companies, so each new Microsoft can compete in all shared markets.
It's called biofeedback. Normally, the average Joe cannot tell when they are relaxed. By playing this game, though, they can know when they are relaxed (by watching the dragon go faster). The person then realizes that they are actually relaxing, and the body recognizes that feeling.
You are almost correct. Every creature on the Earth has instincts. . . every creature except for humans. Any good psychology book will tell you that. Instincts are behavioral patterns that you are born knowing. Humans have none of those. Everything that you know, you know because you learned it, whether through people (society) teaching you, or through trial and error. You didn't have to survive as soon as you were born, unlike a baby gazelle that has to run as soon as it is born before the lion eats it, or baby sea turtles that know (by instinct) to head for the sea after they hatch. There is no such thing as instinctual behavior in humans.
Do men have a fear of death instinctually progrmamed into them? Ask the hundreds of babies that fall out of windows each year, or ask the ones that fall down stairs, or the ones that drink from the bleach bottle. Fear is something that is learned that keeps us alive. It is different from a reflex (i.e. fight or flight).
But that is a lesson for another day.
Go ahead, argue with me. You'll lose.

Read up a bit before you spout off nonsense.
For me, some games do it, some don't.

You must be new here.
The reason it was modded Overrated was because Overrated and Underrated mods don't show up in Metamoderation.
In America, you are still allowed to affirm if you do not wish to swear yourself in. Legally, it's pretty much the same thing.
Read before spouting off, please.
I wish Slashdot would give us a (-1) Wrong mod sometimes...

Tell your bot with voice command to "cover me". Then they get in your vehicle. It also works to get a bot in the turret seat of the Goliath.

Well, as for as selling your personal info, Micro$haft decided that it is ok for them to do that.

A better explanation can be found here.
yeah, but I'd like to see you mow down ten or twenty people with a PC.
