    Did you play Duke Nuke'em Forever?
    What part of it was not Duke Nuke'em?

    It was cheesy, it was simple and it felt like a Duke Nuke'em game. The only real problem it had was the long development cycle making everyone expect more. That and the limited weapons, but I believe they patched that.

    All humans have reaction times that suck. All humans will have periods when that time is even longer or they are distracted.

    I agree open source would be best.

    How hard is it to replace batteries?
    All you need to do take a volt meter to the working batteries and make sure your replacements can provide enough mAh. If I can rebuild fairly undocumented batteries for tools and laptops I am pretty sure they can do it for the stinger.

    I think he means more like abusing and executing POWs. Plus a little using snipers against civilians, that sort of thing.

    They are committing just as many atrocities as Assad.

    So far what exactly has the MB done that is so scary? They are too religious for my like, but so are the republicans.

    For the same reason drone videos are broadcast unencrypted. Here in reality these will be cheaply modified and easy to bypass.

    Replacing a battery is easy and what you are describing will make the weapon totally useless as Assad would just jam it.

    A file system browser is always handy, and so it notepad. If you actually want to do useful work a command prompt can be damn handy.

    I would prefer never to buy such a car.

  12. I am not poor. I have a far above median income, as did my parents.

    It is much easier to blame poor people for being poor than to see what things we could change to give people a chance. The government has actually helped me a lot though, the roads and trash collection especially. I also appreciate the police protecting my property.

    So your claim is it will downshift when going down a steep grade to allow for engine braking?

    It will also shift down right before going up a hill? How do they manage that one?

  16. And the number one way to be poor in America? Get born poor.

    FTFY.

    The reality is those who are born poor are not going to even have anyone to teach them that stuff. The last thing they need is your sorry self righteous ass making unsolicited and ignorant comments.

    More handwaving, just what this country needs!

    For many people they are within their means and still underwater on a house, easy to do when your house loses double digits percentage of value. That budget is based on two folks working, because that is the reality for many.

    Face it employers have the upper hand, no amount of your rationalization will change that.

    Cool, so just sell the house you are underwater on, and move your kids to a new school and find your wife another job too. Sounds so easy, doesn't it?
