  1. Re:Bad luck for the burglar on Robbers Scared by GTA · · Score: 1

    How do I know he wants my tv and not my wife or kids? There are any number of freaks and weirdos out there and I'm not shooting stabbing or beating him to death for taking my tv, I'm killing him for home invasion. BTW, if he breaks in grabs the tv and leaves, I'll never know he's here... since the TV is in the front of the house and the bedrooms are in the back.. and unless I shout, I can't talk to my wife across the house.

    By definition, Americans do not trust government. It's in the Constitution, Declaration of Independance, and Federalist Papers. Nation of rebels, and all that.

    I agree, creepy, but not on purpose, Truly and completely eccentric, Not deliberately or maliciously harmful,

    In other words much like Q.

    Need creepy and innocent, and Manson doesn't have the innocent part. Wilder managed to be creepy without even appearing aware of it. And that was what made it perfect.

    Perhaps you should read the book again... Clockwork Orange or the Wall sounds like something that would come from the Mind of Roald Dahl.

    Which one, the Original movie? or the movie based on the TV series, THERE are two highlander movies.

    Why do we need another Contemperary War of the Worlds? we just had one a few years ago.

    Pretty Mary bought some skates

    Mary had an aeroplane
    Around the world she'd whisk.
    Wasn't she a silly girl

    Little Mary took her skis
    Upon the snow to frisk.

    There once was a soldier named Fisk
    Who said, when the fighting got brisk,
    "I'm sorry to say

  12. Re:Backups for big gig drives... on Digital Packrats · · Score: 1

    My raid 5 ended up cheaper per Gig than raid 1, and it's already saved my data once, and of course by data I mean music, videos and virtually irreplaceable old software.

  13. Re:Why not? on Digital Packrats · · Score: 1

    I'm jealous... I collect original media as well as other items, and I'm still looking for a few items that appear unavailable for purchase... apparently however some of the stuff I thought was unavailable is... so I'll have to check ID's back catalog for SoD and Wolf3d full.

  14. Re:agghhh on Half-Life 2 Under Linux Review · · Score: 1

    I was always under the impression that it referenced a pricetag as well. ie the new ATI Radeon 1 billion would be cutting edge with 256MB of RAM for $200. The bleeding edge version would have 1Gigoram and sell for more than my last computer.

    The first was a failure so he had to repeat the procedure...

    Also the procedure is reversable, so if you have it, and later wish to have offspring/spawn, you may. Of course the reversal procedure is ... Uh, Unpleasant. Much less pleasant than the original procedure.

    Assumedly that was the first thing he checked.

    It is not uncommon for a vasectomy or a tubal ligation to fail for any number of reasons. Further, it is possible to have either procedure reversed. If you get a vasectomy, you should make sure it took and held for 3-6 months following healing before assuming sterility.

  25. Re:Laziness on Math Skills Survey Shows U.S. Lags Behind · · Score: 1

    Actually, I was trying to suggest that a difference in grades might have more to do with personalities or personal aptitude in a specific direction than with an applicable general rule that all children will perform similarly.

    Also my personal rant against grades being a reflection of intelligence. Smart people can fail, dumb ones succeeed, life doesn't tend to be as forgiving or as harsh as school.. and RL is always challenging, school, not so much.
