  5. Re:Truth vs. Lies---Dr. Who knows on Your Favorite Math/Logic Riddles? · · Score: 1

    There was an episode of Dr Who with this problem, it was a Baker episode, it had something to do with Mars and pyramids or something.

    Ask one what the other would say, and choose the opposite door. The truthful will tell the liars answer, which is the wrong door, and the liar will lie about the truthful answer.

    I knew knowing that would pay off some day!!! See, plot and story over special effects anytime.

  7. Re:Bad Idea, here's why on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    You seem to be under the false impression that without support from the worldwide (attempted) propaganda campaign, this would have gone forward and 1441 would have passed, regardless of it's wording or it's consequences.

    The Lies (capitalized on purpose) perpetrated by the various governments and organizations as to Iraq's capabilities outed in the Downing Street Memos and the reality of what was (not) found, supporting the Memos, were what created the situation that 1441 passed. We never even should have been looking to go to war with Iraq, until Osama was found and brought to justice. The push to invade was created with ILLEGAL propoganda, perpetrated by (now) criminals who are going unpunished for it. Perjury is illegal. When world leaders make statements that are untrue in certain activities and in formal settings (Colin Powell in the UN comes to mind), this is perjury.

    Hence, we have an illegal war.

  8. Call John Smith on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a bad turn in the plot develpment of The Dead Zone, The Series:

    Johnny's adversary gets ahold of the presidency and convinces all the dumbasses that he put in position to give him the First Strike authority in order to "show the world he means business" and quickly launches the nuclear war that Johnny has been seeing since the day he first shook his hand.

    Or is it fiction?

  9. Bad Idea, here's why on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Remember a few years ago, when we gave Bush the ability to go to war to "Show that we mean business", then went to war? Prematurely and illegally I might add. I think this is something to consider, but not with this "We don't just talk like 2 year olds, we act like it too" administration.

    These are NOT the mental giants I pictured to responibly wield such authority.

    Why don't they open source the servers, or at least release them for public use, and maybe they could still sell the client for a modest fee and still make money off of it. Or sell the server even. Everyone wins. -- Tick! Tock! I'm a clock!

    Good to hear you are feeling better.

    The long term IV anti-biotics are no big deal. They give you a PIC line that you can have for over 6 months, and the pump is in a fanny-pack. Almost no schedule interruption except you have to waterproof your arm in the shower. I've had 3 for various infections over the years and you just deal with them then they're over.

  21. Re:I don't remember, but... on Best Buy: 20% Of Customers Are Wrong · · Score: 1

    I have. A new CC opened about a mile from me. I searched the entire city of Phoenix for a ATI 9700 pro. Fries-no, BB-no, Compusa-no, MomandPop-no. I had other stores calling other area stores up to a 1 hour drive away. Nothing. Finally I went to the new CC a 2 minute drive away. In stock (in fact several), a slightly lower price, nice looking well organized store.

    I quit going for a few reasons:

    poor selection (much better now)
    poor service (now they admit they know nothing... I can handle that)
    poor store layout (why did I have to walk around a center wall to peruse the whole department?)
    poor price

    Now? I recommend them before anything else:

    Selection? decent enough now
    service? they help if they can, and admit if they can't)
    Store layout? nice, open, video store like with nothing blocking my view
    Price? comparable for what I've gone there for.

    I couldn't believe it. So I went to the old store I hated.... and they fixed it!!!! I now choose them as the least of the evil stores.

    Div X? Every evil chain has it's bad days.
