People like conspiracy theories because people are fundamentally mistrusting. The world spends an inordinate amount of energy making sure the other guy isn't trying to screw it over. So any time there are messy circumstances like with JFK it makes a lot of people want to take a second look.
In this case it's entirely possible for Oswald to not have acted alone, i.e. he fired his shots and someone else also fired (with or without his knowledge). I was absolutely convinced based on research I did in college (library, no internet at the time) that there was another shooter. Nowadays I am less inclined to feel like I know what happened either way.
I will say that if there was a conspiracy LBJ must have been involved at some level, because you don't kill the #1 for not advancing your agenda without knowing you can advance your agenda with the #2. And people in my family (who lived in Texas all their lives) always said LBJ was a mean so-and-so and they wouldn't put it past him.
You already are paying for people who can't/don't pay, however. Part of the reason medical care costs so much is all the people who can't/don't pay anything at all. Hospitals and clinics have to write huge amounts off all the time, either due to indigent patients or insurance companies that pay whatever amount they feel like paying. Basically with insurance in the mix what we have at this point is a failed version socialized medicine - we all still pay for each other, just everyone who pays, pays even more.
Ummm, I already have the inspected data on my screen when they remove it. Keeping that data there in no way raises anything. They just need to stop trying to make it real-time.
Vista: "Hi! Are you an idiot? It doesn't matter because I am idiot-proof! <gleam>"
Me: "I'm not an idiot, now where is that widget I used to use?" Vista: "Shut up, idiot! <sparkle>"

I believe the existing raid dungeons were left as-is. Not sure why anyone would go to them at all anymore, as the loot is quickly replaced by quest rewards in the 60s and once you hit 58 you can go to Outland and start working through the new content. Just imagine all the level 60 content they put in over the years aside from dungeons that is now effectively obsolete... the mind boggles.
Pretty sure there were midnight madness sales for win95 and win98. I recall tv news stories and newspaper articles about it at the time. What a time to be alive.
Where your theory falls apart (about the prequels being any good) is the enormous amount of bad acting in them. 90% of spoken lines by minor characters sound like they were performed by gaffers or makeup artists with all the emotion of a fourth grader reading a book report in front of the class. And all the dialog by everyone sounds like first takes. This is all the director's fault of course. The prequels are so very hard to watch, although I bet they are wonderful when dubbed into another language.
Actually I'd still say it's more efficient since internal combustion engines only convert a fraction (like 20%) of the energy in the fuel to anything besides heat. But even if you are correct on that, isn't it easier to change out the energy provider at the top of the pyramid, and also optimize the entire system (power sources & power consumers), if you have a single interface at the consumer level?
I hear ya, that is a game that could use more in the way of a tutorial mode. I only recently figured out how to use soul gems, and I have almost 60 hrs under my belt. What can I say, as a thief it didn't come up often enough to make me want to look into it. Makes you wonder how many people played it for a while and just quit because they never really learned how to do some of the basic stuff that is essential.
What I didn't realize and I guess a lot of people don't is that all of Davy Jones' crew was CG except Turner's father. I would have sworn Davy Jones was an amazing mask with some CG touchups, but they actually CG'd over Bill Nighy entirely, even the eyes. Movie was pretty so-so but it's worth it to see again just for the mutant crew.
According to the linked wiki you are incorrect: "The seat where the bomb exploded (seat 26K) would normally be above the center wing fuel tank on a Boeing 747 but on this particular model of 747 the tank was located slightly further back. Seat 26K was just one row in front of the tank."
This is something I try to tell people and have a hard time getting across. They just don't get that there are scenarios where the guy in front of you will stop very quickly. Even if traffic is moving cleanly as far as the eye can see, it doesn't take much of a screwup at 65 mph for someone to wind up sideways on the freeway. And if it happens when people are driving 10 feet apart as they often do, you don't wanna be in the mix.
Wtf? You're using an altered version of the InvSqrt function to calc Sqrt and then comparing the result to a hardware call? Huh? That seems kind of silly. You need to compare apples to apples, you are comparing apples to oranges with red paint on them.
Was speaking more generally, as "bad" or un-PC words are what gets 'em riled up mostly nowadays. Lolita I could not see where it was challenged recently at all.
Only a few of these appear to have been challenged recently. But yes, in the US, especially when it comes to children, people still freak out over naughty words. Because they are morons.
Why would you want to put a limit on someone else's happiness? Especially your own mother's? I just don't get it. It's not like she's on drugs. Some similar behavior probably, but it is not the same. I think if you could take it away somehow, she would likely just get addicted to something else (like watching TV) and do that to similar extremes. Or worse, watch TV and get bored with it, realize how boring her life is and get depressed about that. Or even worse than that, get so bored that she starts meddling in your life as a hobby.
To augment this point, basically if your guild intends to make progress in the endgame (if they are serious about it), you will have a set schedule you HAVE to be online. For many people this constitutes a 2nd job, and for some with kids it's essentially a 3rd job. So enjoyable as it may be, it's a relief to be free of it.
And for the record, the political spectrum is a little more complex than a lightswitch that has settings of "liberal" and "conservative".
Used to be more complex. That was back when you could almost field a viable 3rd party candidate for president. Not like that anymore and may not ever be again, at least not until the culture gets fed up with the status quo. We are absolutely divided right now thanks to some lightning rod issues that don't seem to want to go away. Number one on the list is abortion. I think if that would go away then the lesser divisive arguments would fall to the side. But right now it owns us, and I would not be surprised if it gets us another 4 years of whatever mess the GOP slaps together on the 2008 ticket.
This is a good point, Molten Core is really an awful instance and feels like it was thrown together hastily. It's basically a big quake deathmatch map that someone added big ass rock monsters to. I was pretty let down once I saw the whole thing and realized that was it. I almost never go back, although most guilds seem to have it down to a one-night affair now. Blackwing Lair is much more interesting (with all the event rooms, each of which has its own peculiar strategy), and so are Zul Gurub, Ahn Qirahj, etc. So people who went raiding in early '05 and quit based on that are missing out, but that is Blizzard's fault for not putting some good stuff in there at release.
Every key I own, which go to various doors at several different houses in different parts of the state, are from the same key stock. Every apartment I have ever lived in has used this same key type. One bump key could unlock them all. That same bump key could probably unlock almost every house in my neighborhood. And it can be carried on a keychain like any other key, in my pocket. Should I want to be more thorough I could carry several kinds of bump keys, all in my pocket and all in a smaller space than your pick gun.

Anyone releasing anything that could remotely compete with World of Warcraft. Which is anything. So basically everything.
That's what the "fast travel" functionality is for.

Every time that music gets to me and I start to tear up, I remember that the dog's name is Seymour Butts and I start laughing instead.

Don't forget the internet age equivalent, "Lego's".

I honestly believe that abortion is the only killer issue. Because people take children so seriously (much too seriously), especially in the US.
