So I just got home for work and first thing that pops up on my computer is the new license.
As a test I decide to not allow for the change (disagree) - now *none* of the games can be started and you can't access any steam downloads - this means you are forced into accepting new terms if you want to play your legally owned games.
Piracy here I come... Also I'm thinking of starting a class action lawsuit to get my money back from the games that I bought...
Yes there is; in the 60s or 70s the US had a fully operational reactor. Kirk Sorensen has some very interesting talks about the history of the US nuclear program and why the reactor was scrapped (think weapons program and something as simple as a guy didn't like another) .
I don't get why we pour so much money into fusion. We have a perfectly fine tested method of doing nuclear power safely using a thorium reactor.
I mean fusion would definitely be a nice spiffy technology, but we know how to do nuclear safely and cleanly; cheap enough to clean up the world, I think estimates on a fully functional reactor (in the US) would be around $10bn - (or we could wait for the Chinese to be done with their design and ask if we can play with their toys).
Anyways, are you seriously saying you would murder someone over simple possessions? I truly feel sorry for you Americans, life must truly suck when you are so hell bent on seeking revenge and causing other people bodily harm.
Take a look at Norway; the UtÃya massacre totalled 77 people dead with the majority being young people, yet they can still find it in them to forgive the madman.
So you think guns should be allowed such that the people under attack in the Dutch case could have opened fire to protect themselves? Same goes for the theater, what exactly are you guys trying to pull there?
One madman shooting is bad, having about a 100 people with guns shooting in all directions is definitely not an improvement.
In Denmark guns are illegal except for certain professions (hunters for instance) - the amount of times someone gone on a random killing spree here is 0; interestingly enough, most killings done with guns are done by those who can legally have them, we do have some gangs running around shooting, but they aren't hitting anyone.
Also, you are far more likely to get robbed with a bikestand than a traditional weapon because of the strict laws here.
If they wanted advanced fighting mechanics games like DD:O would be massive hits (You can actually dodge spells/shots, but you have to move your toon yourself)
Some of the dirtiest and most foul mouthed people I've ever worked with was women. And tell you what, I fucking loved it; it was always fun at the lunch table when one of their husbands had screwed up over the weekend, being the only guy working the floor you found yourself center of attention pretty fast when your gender screwed up.
If you can't handle the banter, you should probably find yourself a different working field - it's there for a reason, usually to let the grunts let out steam without hitting their mates over the head with a wrench; this applies across gender and fields.
They are not flying against decades of peer reviewed research - earlier data were projections; those will tend to be massively wrong, just look at your local weather forecasts...
While I applaud you finding it works, just one thing - you really hurt the course when you say you've never smoked when you pretty much start your story with smoking the bong your wife gave you and not liking it. People against legalizing will jump on that inconsistency and void the rest of your story.
(Side note, I smoke to deal with stress and lack of sleep - tried meds doctors gave me and the side effects gave me a nasty turn)
In the local casino here in Copenhagen, they hand out your "cheat" sheet - why? Because you are still only about 49.x% chance to win, they will win in the long run and they *need* you to feel the pleasure of winning to make sure you stick around for another "fix".
Company gave me an iPad last year, I was skeptical at first and sure as hell still am. It's slower than my laptop for working and less convenient than my phone.
Slashdot provides more than one ordering - for instance GP is not first post in my view; a moderator might have read a similar comment when ordered newest first (remember, moderation is handed out based on some obscure algorithm, not on a "must be this intelligent" basis)
Ok, so both article and video is extremely thin on details, the explanation for the massive performance is pretty much gibberish and their argumentation for ACID compliance is bullshit.
Just leaves me with the question, what are they trying to get out of this BS?
The a-10 bullets would be destroyed on impact with water.
On a side note, this isn't the first boat to do this, the big nuclear powered Russian icebreakers do the same to prevent friction buildup when going through ice.
Just went and watched Men In Black 3D; while it was a nice feature, it sure as hell isn't worth the additional $5 surcharge per ticket - and is it just me or is 3D movies too bright? Kept wanting to turn down brightness....
Having disaster plans costs money, most companies aren't willing to spend. For a company to have proper procedures in place it needs to have smart people at the top or government required facilities, both very rare...

Heck no, in fact I think most people should have their drivers license revoked.
Ironic signature is ironic...

Players want an easy grindfest.

No, gender equality only counts the other way.
Really?

No it's not. TFA states "positive correlation", that does not mean it has been proven, but just they are seeing an interesting trend.

To me pads are just expensive paperweights.

Riiight.... A 15 year old son who doesn't do porn.
If you believe that, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Really? Might wanna go look up Krokodil and Russia. That's the result of prohibition.
Ban the good drugs and fiends will go for whatever substitute they can cook up and trust me, we definitely want people who go sit in the corner looking at the pretty colors rather than people coming into the ER with their flesh rotten to the bones:

I keep my phone in front left pocket, so not that far away, but crotch dialing would be an issue :)
