Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret however, were amazing. To this day I wish someone could figure out how to get them to run on WinXP systems (Installer refuses on non-win9x and no compatiblity didnt help) so i could spin through them again.
Who are you to say that nightsticking someone to the ground IS retribution? A perp under the influence of any number of things may well need thrashing in order to get him on the ground and not fighting back
Is it me or are companies jumping way too far ahead and losing sight of some really cool things. So we hear every other week about how XCompany just broke the terrahertz chip barrier for what? They're still only offering gigahertz chips. YCompany is making a terrabyte disk the size of a peanut... So why aren't they selling it.
Because no one needs it, and those who want it, cant afford it.
"Are you dudley hiibel?" "why, no sir. I dont know who that is." "have a good day citizen."
Sure, he could have asked. Because we all know no one would ever ever lie to an officer to get away with something. Getting someone's ID gets you all the pertinent info that an officer would need to know--name drivers license ## and so forth.
You don't think that maybe its because kids take calls during class, text message each other instead of paying attention and generally disturb other people fiddling with them?
It's a shame that rating system doesn't work, as oftentimes universities are more concerned about having facaulty on hand (as was the case with my math teacher last sem) who are good researchers rather than good teachers
See thing is, whether medically accurate or not, if i see a comment like this about a potential professor i immediately have some idea of how he behaves (assume the comment is accurate) One of my highschool teachers i considtenly referred and refer to as bipolar, not so much because i genuinely think them to be, but by using that label the person im talking to (who is likely consulting me about taking the class) now has a VERY clear picture of how the professor behaves and can act accordingly.
I'm no novelist but I've written several hundred pages of fiction (not to mention notes for class) with pencil and paper and I write in mostly print (with a few cursive-like letter connectiosn) all in all its fvery fast, very messy, but still more legible than my cursive.

Cursive's a hair different---reading cursive is HARDER than reading printed letters. I think there's no reason for it to be taught on that basis alone. being as i work in retail you have no idea how often i have to ask a customer to read off an ISBN number or whatever that they've jotted down by hand. Suprise suprise, people who print I can usually read. Bad cursive looks like a bunch of little loops

Dunno. I was taught how to do it, but the logic was "Now that you know how, and you've passed the test that proves it, do it on calculator to save time"
I'd probably have trouble with it--go slowly at least--if i had to do long division on paper now, simply because I've had no need to for years.
I'm the owner of a nice (in my opinion, tho still cheap in the scheme of things) bulova watch myself---lately i'm out of the habit of wearing it due to my cellphone telling time, but the timepiece has a unique 'flavor' to it that digital watches can't beat.
The face of an analog watch is as much a work of art as a casemod or what have you. I have yet to see a digital timepiece that doesn't either A) look like something a 12 year old would wear or B) look like something that should have an Apple sticker on it.
I have DTV satellite at home, and I have in fact lost signal in heavy (read: Torrential) rain and snow before. Not often, but several times over the years. Tho as parent said: Weather that bad usually had us scrambling to un plug electronics anyway
I wanted to see the Scouring of the Shire merely because it wraps up Sauruman and Wormtongue's characters. WIthout that you have no idea what happens to them, and you miss out on the sort of grim justice that Saruman gets in the end.
Pointing out mistakes means you think that their work in making the decision is wrong, likely you haven't done the same investigation.
When everyone makes off the cuff decisions, there is value to second guessing. When someone takes a lot of time and energy to make the right decision, it is insulting to be constantly second guessed
If there are mistakes, they should be pointed out. It would be insulting for me to constantly have to assume my boss is infallible and keep my concerns to myself.

Does it really need to be?
"This is leet because its [smaller|thinner|lighter]" is not always valid.
I never got into the Ultima series.

Henry Pasquet has a 2.6 gram airplane that flies at walking speed.
Unless there's wind. Then i'm betting it doesn't fly at all.
..but it does stink of bad business plan.
;p

Ah, because nobody ever possesses fake IDs?
Not one that's going to stand up to a police officer taking a hard look at.

"why, no sir. I dont know who that is."

If he's a horrible enough teacher that he warrants consistent bad comments then perhaps tenure shouldn't even be what his superiors are considering

Lets see you do that with a bad back.
Or when you're in heavy traffic.
Or when pulling a trailer
or if your car's structural supports are in your way.
Anyone else think we're nearing the end of the analog phone system?
I'm not still on dialup, but speaking for all those who still are (for whatever reason) : "Not a fucking chance"
And no doubt it would cost that much.
You most not work on pre-USB computers too often.
The floppy in my PC isnt hooked up at the moment (laziness) but it can be, if i need it.

If they had their sight, they would be criminals.
Since they're blind they are....?
Still criminals. Though the wired story would have you believe otherwise.
