You lose many of your rights to privacy when you commit an illegal act. And destroying evidence is illegal. Like how you can record a conversation without having to get consent from the other party if they are engaged in an illegal activity.
You also lose quite a few rights when you are the SUSPECT OF A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
I would say that I'm downloading it right now, but it came down the tube quickly. I'm looking for a decent csv. viewer right now.
I try to have my own opinion of world events, and gather information important to understanding.

Hollow Spy Coins

· Score: 3, Informative
I thought the illegal action was the "deBASEment" of the currency, not defacement. When coins were made out of precious metals, they could be shaved for bits and slivers of that silver or gold. Since the coins weighed less, but still represented the amount of money it was promised to by the government, the currency was debased. And that was a major crime.
It defacement of the currency is illegal, then we would've locked up all those wheresgeorge.com people, who keep stamping one dollar bills.
A cancerous cell is one that doesn't know when to quit. It is outside the normal cell cycle, and not listening to every cell's built in death trigger. Forvige my lack of specific biology terminalogy.
So these mice are "cancer-resistant"? When exposed to carcenigous, do they ignore them? When exposed to massive ammounts of UV light, do they tan but not burn? Do they burn but not get skin cancer? If you clogged thier lungs with cig smoke, would they develop a cough but not cancer?
How the frak does this work? Are the little mice cells just really tuned into thier death trigger? When a cell mutates enough that it doesn't listen to it's death trigger, it is a cancer. Are these mice just impervious to cell mutation?
If so, wouldn't that make them an evolutionary dead end? Cancer, while bad, is a by-product of evolution. If cells weren't allowed to ever mutate again, would that spell the end of mice evolution? And if we impart that "cancer-immunity" to we humans, would that spell the end of evolution?
By all means, someone correct what I have wrong. Biology was never my strong suit. (Nor is spelling)
The older panels on DS9 were due to the fact that the space station was Cardassian, not Federation tech. The arcing lines, and spire-like ports were really more beautiful in my opinion, anyway.
My guess is that if a human did see it, he didn't open it.
Something along the lines of a human mail sorter, and when he sees the envelope that CapiCitiWorld Bank sends out, he tosses that into a machine that scans the barcode on the envelope, cuts it open, extracts the form, and scans in the numbers and text. Computers doing the data entry are much faster then thier weak meat-sac counterparts.
So if a human did see it, he didn't see the form itself.
Because we fear a bias within the study, or questions phrased in such a way to give the results that the sponsors of the bill want to hear.
"Researcher" One: Now that you've played five hours of GTA, do you think stealing cars from other people can be fun in the game?
Timmy: I guess so.
Headline: Research Finds That GTA Makes Kids Want To Steal!
Oh course, I don't think it would be that far, but studies such as this will be trumpeted from every news stand if they find something damning, and buried if they don't. If it is a well-crafted game, then it will be pleasurable to play. And if it's violent-themed, then what the researchers will see is an increase in the pleasure response when the eight year old test subject skids through three police officers and two federal agents with his stolen police car.
Will the child then go rob a bank? I doubt it.
But none of this matters anyway, since the games they will be testing on the children aren't meant to be played by the test subjects!!!. Violent games aren't meant for kids. You want a study with a violent games that kids play? Have them play Hello Kitty: Roller Attack. Hello Kitty dishes out some major punishment with a hammer.
Although after five hours of Hello Kitty, *I* would want to kill someone.
I log into Blackhand to play my 46 Hunter, there's a queue of 301 to get in.
So I find a PvP server with a low population, and log in to start a new character. Play about ten minutes, and get to level nine. Log out for lunch, and come back again.
And there is queue for 147 for my "Low" population server.
I bought time to play this game. I did not buy time to sit and stare at a queue line.
That's the trick about Quantum Physics. It isn't 50/50 alive/dead. It is both 100% alive, and 100% dead. It is existing as both possiblities at the same time. Both off-shoots of this reality are happening at once, and we are existing in two realities because of this damn feline. We don't resolve into one until somebody opens the box, and shunts us all into Cat Is Alive Reality, or Cat Is Dead Reality.
Wizards of the Coast already did that with the 3.0 version of D&D. They knew they were releasing a flawed product, and planned to come out with it three years after the release of 3.0.
However, corprate types took over, and popped it out one and a half years earlier then planned.
And how well did it work out for them? I still play 3.0 rules, and 3.5 be damned.
"Sony President Ken Kutaragi has said that he expects the device to be "expensive." While game consoles have typically enjoyed a five-year lifespan, Sony has said it is shooting for 10 years this time out."
Are they kidding? They expect it to last ten years, fine, but are they trying to say that they will keep making new games for this platform? I remember the Super Nintendo, and that system rocked, yo. Pilot Wings, F-Zero, Final Fantasy VI were all gems, and had replay value. But after a while, new games stopped appearing, and I was seeing everyone purchase N64s, and playing Goldeneye with all thier friends. And all I had to offer was Mario Kart for thier multiplayer cravings.
Then the Playstation hit the scene, and my SNES got placed on the closet shelf of Eternity. When Microsoft comes out with the Xbox 720, will Sony stick with thier three year old platform? When Nintendo offers thier newest platform that jacks directly into your cyber-brain, with Sony continue to hock Silent Hill 12?
Game Platforms are supposed to have a longer life span then computers by definition. All they are are game systems. They don't do spreadsheets, they don't balance your taxes, they don't have hard drives...
Oh, wait, they do now. Well, strike that...start over...
With Game Platforms becoming more like home computers, thier Start-To-Trash date will grow shorter and shorter. Ten years is a pipe dream. It's 2006. Let's see, ten years ago...
Yeah, I think I'm going to go boot up my old 486 and log into World of Warcraft. I'll let you know how it goes in a week when the program finally loads.
To sum up, a ten year old gaming platform would be like still playing Final Fatasy Mystic Quest, and saying how graphicly stunning it is. Not Gonna Happen.
It's not a "mixed" state. By the Quantum Rules, the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. It's both white and black at the same time, not just grey.
Until someone opens the box and percives the event to resolve it, both are happening at the same time.
Incorrect. When selling a product on TV, the FCC insists that the product being sold is the real McCoy. Everything else is fake.
That nice fresh bowl of cereal you are looking at? Yeah, it's Special K, but it's in a bowl filled with Crisco. And the strawberry is a painted piece of plastic.
But the FCC insists that what you are selling is the real item being sold.
I've learned that pretending to be a girl gets me free money, and can pay for my mount.
I've learned that sometimes killing your friends can be hilarious.
I've learned that Alliance are whiny bitches, and are Kill On Sight, and don't pull thier weight to open those damn gates.
I've learned that living in a more colorful world then reality is very comforting. A world where my physical limitations don't apply. Where I'm a giant on the field, instead of an ant under the magnifying glass of real life.
I've learned that it someone does something you don't like or hurts your feelings, you can/ignore them, and never have to deal with them again.
I've learned that people like me more in this fictional world, and people like me less in reality.
I've learned that I am a WoW Addict, and that maybe I should get some help. I've spent all my money buying gold in this fictional world, and that maybe it's time I....
Finally someone can threaten the politians in a way that can scare them. With voters.
The youth vote jumped 11% in 2004 to reach 47% turnout in 18-24 age voters. The feared Elderly Voting Bloc has a whopping 66% voter turn out. We are gaining ground.
If the numbers we attained forthe 2004 election hold, or perish the thought, we gain ground, we could actually see social security legislation that, you know, DOESN'T SUCK. Private accounts indeed.
The "Gamer" lobby could reach over into health care reform, drug reform (pot? okay! meth? WTF?!?!), industry oversight reform (you're dumping WHAT into the lake? I fish there!). With a democratic majority but still a republican presence, the Gamer lobby could deal with both sides, and focus on issues for the future. Our future.
I would really be interested in a series, featuring Data as the main chatacter.
Star Trek: I, Data.
They could really go in-depth with his personality and motivations, instead of his just being a doll for Picard's and LaForge's playtime.
Although I am quite pissed at the ending of Nemisis. He could easily have become a captian.

Couldn't that quote also mean, "Once you have reached your goals, you get out of politics?"

Pop over to Netflix and watch "This Film Has Not Been Rated." It takes a look at the ratings board's style and members of the MPAA.
Some of the gems include making a movie rated X because of a too long shot of a woman's

Is a private collection a bad thing?
Worst case scenario, they are lost forever in a private archive by a fire. Granted, worst case.
Medium case, the papers are held privately, but returned to light at the owner's or heir's choosing.
Best case, they are held but allowed to be in a public museum for viewing.
It's a somewhat obscure purchase. Would someone willing to spend that much on those papers be unsympathetic to the ideas behind the papers?
"Methinks she doth protest too much." Fixed that for you.

This is one cat you will NOT neuter.
Hell, you could buy a female, and then sell it's kittens for $500 a pop. Two litters, and you've made your money back.

Yeah, but Deus Ex could be called a "FPS game with limited RPG elements".
And that game made me a happy panda.
