I have despised Abrams since I saw his "Superman" proposal. How could anyone trust him with Trek after that fiasco? The guy wants to totally reinvent everything in his own image. Co-opting existing franchises to make his own gargantuan ego swell even bigger. He has shown he can create his own franchises, but the lure of "reimagining" tugs on his soul and refuses to let go. I won't be seeing this movie. I refuse to. Hell, I still refuse to watch Forest Gump because the f-ing media and everyone else on the planet have taught me all I need to know without seeing it. I didn't see E.T. for more than 20 years after it came out, just because too many people told me "You HAVE to see it!!!!!!" when I said I wasn't interested in it. And when I did see it, I was sick on a couch and got outvoted.
Do I have a problem? Yeah, I'm serious about making my points and sticking to them. That's my problem.
Actually, it was SECTOR 0,0,1. Brush up on your Locutus, buddy! We would need to fully understand the Borg nav system to really know how big a sector is. Hell, it could have just been that they assign the star of any system 0,0,0 and by their system Earth was in 0,0,1. Could be a larger scale and Earth just happened to be in Sector 0,0,1. One would assume that the Sector 0,0,0 would be a significant reference point, but you know those Borg, they didn't seem to feel like explaining it. I wasn't going to argue with them. Restising them would be,... ahem... futile.
Chill out! I'm critiquing a poster's logic, not setting World policy. Sheesh!
But now that you've opened the door, I do believe we need to look into the long term effects(all aspects, not just environmental) of any actions we take to "correct" the environment. I am also concerned by the fact that no one can satisfactorily explain to me why the single largest source of heat in our solar system is consistently discounted as even a possible contributing factor.
I'm just a big believer in the existence of unexpected consequences.
"basically accused him of being a terrorist." Big laugh there. Big difference between that and stating the fact that a friend/mentor/co-worker/neighbor of his IS an admitted terrorist. That shoots down your "false equivalence" theory. People just didn't care about Bill Ayres for some perplexing reason. I never heard anyone in the McCain camp call him a terrorist. I did hear a lot of Obama's posse whining and crying about "basically accusing him of being a terrorist." Obama definitely won the semantics and double-speak portion of the pageant... Loved the response they gave that said "Obama was 8 yrs old when Bill Ayres did all that". Were they so stupid that they actually thought anyone believed an 8 yr Obama was bombing police stations? That was never the point and the masses ate up the sarcastic retort and forgot to question the judgement of an adult Obama for choosing a terrorist as a friend/mentor/co-worker/neighbor, then lying one way about it, changing the story 2 more times and then attempting to obfuscate the whole issue. That's why I don't believe Obama. I'm a realist though, I don't believe any politician.
BTW, did anyone ever do the math on McCain's plan? I did it based on what I "assumed" they were talking about and I actually came out waaay ahead of my current situation. I have no way of knowing if I did it correctly, but it looked like the check I got far outweighed the extra tax I paid on my benefits. I think Obama played people correctly and counted on more people to simply panic when they heard "tax our health care for the first time in history" than to even try to figure it out mathematically. Nowhere in the media did I see a comparison done so if anyone has one, I'd love to see it.
I think far too many people are basing their definition of "successful" on WOW. I played WOW, and it seems fine for my kids, but just didn't thrill me. AC had decent success and LOTRO and DDO have not done bad at all. I don't tend to go for "one-size-fits-all" in anything; music, TV, movies or my games. People see anything that doesn't become as popuular as WOW as being a failure. I see it the other way around.
The question "Why Turbine?" is pretty damn stupid. Because Turbine wants to do it, thats why! They can develop whatever they want. Its not like they were picked to do it, they just want to. Good luck, hope they come up with something good, the field is ripe for it right now.
Erm... OK, why exactly should one never write "Erm"?
Is "Umm" better? "Ehhh"? "Aaah...um"? "Mmmmnn"?
What is the preferred/. ettiquette for this situation? Have we discovered the next poll topic? More importantly, should the government create a commission to look into this asap?
Ok, this is old but true:
Correlation != Causality
It is not hard to go from there to a conclusion, since our output is almost an order of magnitude highter.
You might have to go one or two magnitudes higher than that. Don't forget, research shouldn't end just because you got the results you wanted. Quite often that should be a sign to look further.
See, no circular logic.
Yes, I agree, no circular logic in that post. I was unaware that a lack of circular logic automatically makes a line of reasoning true. In fact, the existence of circular logic, does not necessarily make one false, either. Silly old me, I always thought it took more than that to prove something true.
"Thematically the game is based on Wasteland, an old post-apocalyptic RPG set in the irradiated wastelands of the American Southwest.
Desolation is not a newbie-friendly MUD, and intelligent roleplaying is heavily encouraged. "
Too true. It is painfully aparent who the BIG Money is behind in the US elections right now. Only one candidate can afford to buy F-ing PRIMETIME network ads. That's who BIG Money is behind. Don't let parties fool you. First its 250,000 is too much income, we need to give your money to other people so you can do your duty. Then when things get worse it will eventually be, "You make 60,000, that's more than you need, we have people in need, do your duty and share with them. NOW! Or else!"
What was that saying about the road to Hell and paving?
Actually, the more you empty the tanks, the fresher the boys in the tanks are, so obviously this has always been true. Just most aren't emptying their tanks into any females...
Actually, I think they were referring to the fact that Stargate was a movie, then an SF series for 10 years, then got two spin-offs, when they talk about being beaten to death. The SNES game was an adaptation of the original movie, so it was just the beginning of "the franchise" so to speak. It was also available on the Genesis, so technically its a "16-bit" game.
I especially enjoy watching this on 4(or more) lane highways. I am coasting toward the red light and the dumb-***(or ****, depending on your preference) flies up to the red light, screetching to a stop. I am still coasting through when it turns green and take soooo much less wear on my brakes. I just can't fathom the mentality of a person in a hurry to get to a red light....
As an agnostic who borders on athieism, I find it scarier that you think this is a relevant response to the subject. It seems "Faith" is affecting your mind adversely. Seems to be a very common side effect as far as I can tell... Go home and sacrifice a goat or drink some wine or whatever it is you deluded people do when you aren't trolling on Slashdot.
A rating solves nothing nor does it actually serve any real purpose. A site with a "Highly truthful" rating can still lie and a site with a "Don't believe this" rating could tell the truth. It just reduces the situation to "Believe what WE tell you". I think I'll opt out on this one...
I believe he and a female partner created the character, Wonder Woman. But how does that invalidate his invention of the Lie Detector? Besides that, a person cannot be convicted on the basis of a Lie Detector alone. Doesn't stop jury members from considering it in their deliberations though...
I want to meet the guy who invented wonder women though! Do you have his e-mail?

I had similar expectations for Golden Axe:Beast Rider, but they shot those all to hell.
Damn, I didn't know you were going to post spoilers!

They save a lot of money on the night shift. No need for lights when the walls glow fluorescent green.
Well, you should see an adequate simulation of this in the US gov't for the next 4 years.
In this case, the crime required the victim's consent. I don't blame the victim for the crime, I blame her for consenting to give away her own money.
Sort of like voting Democrat in this past election...

Oh, wait, that was Microsoft... Oh, well, no real difference there anyway.
