And what, exactly, is wrong with having sex, if a condom is used? It's true that condoms are not foolproof -- if you don't know how to use them. Used correctly, there is very little (almost non-existent) chance of failure.
One does not need to "have had" something in order to oppose it. Do you think it's wrong to rape someone and then kill them? Really? Well, stop being such a wussy about something you haven't gone through. Your logic is stupid. And for your information, it takes about five seconds in the shower/bath to "get clean down there". It's not a fucking big deal. Shut up about stuff you obviously know nothing about.
The vast overwhelming majority of people don't have any problems with foreskin. And of course someone who is a nurse has seen people with problems. She's a nurse for crying out loud! I'll bet she has seen people with infections in their nose, does that mean it makes sense to cut everyone's nose off? Anyway, the medical evidence says no to circumcision, so there's really nothing to discuss. Yes, it might be necessary for a few people, but not most. You don't put someone in completely unnecessary (involuntary) surgery. That's just not what doctors do. Sorry.
This was modded as funny, but it is actually true. Spore seems to me to be more of an "creationism" game than an "evolution" game. If it was really an evolution game, the player wouldn't be able to do anything at all. It's okay though, because it would be really boring to have to run the game continuously for millions of years before seeing anything interesting.
It's called "bacon and a kiss airlines", you have to kiss a person of the same sex, and eat bacon, to prove you're not a muslim. Then you can board the plane with any items you want, no security checks of any kind.
Actually, he simply changed his objective, so instead of trying to win, he would try to prolong the game as long as possible. This enabled him to give up strategic expansion opportunities in favor of strengthening his position. Or something like that.
In your movie example, the movie theater would be analogous to the actual PC the game is being played on, and you're right that it isn't the game's fault if you have a crappy PC. That's why all PC game reviews assume you have an adequate PC. Not so with DRM. It is a part of the game itself, it's on the disc and you have no choice but to jump through those hoops.
It was funny once, maybe twice. Then it stopped being funny for a while, then it became funny again. Then it stopped being funny again. Truth is, no one knows whether of not it's funny anymore.
I haven't researched it, since I'm not buying a phone at the moment, so I don't know about any phones available now. But I'm waiting for Neo1973, running OpenMoko. The consumer version is scheduled to be available sometime in October. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973
To be honest, I don't live in the USA, so I don't know exactly how the situation is over there regarding unlocked phones. But I figure there must be some unlocked phones available. If not, I guess order from overseas or something.
Even if they're not totally accurate, what difference does it make if they take a blood sample afterwards for a more accurate reading? Although your flamy reply leads me to think it was done without any knowledge whatsoever, so meh.
Of course, the line that determines when you're too drunk to drive or not is really fuzzy and impossible to pinpoint, since it's different between individuals. But since there has to be a line, it has to be somewhere, so it has to be drawn somewhere. That means there will be borderline cases. The solution is to not fucking drive while fucking drunk. It's really not that hard, I've (not) done it many times.
Exactly, I don't see the problem either. I will happily be pulled over and be required to blow into an alcohol tester if it means overall less drunk drivers on the road. These testers are supposed to be pretty accurate, so there doesn't seem to be a problem to me. In my country if you fail the test, they take a blood sample to make absolutely sure you're really drunk (unless you confess I think), so I just don't see the problem. Drunk people have absolutely no right to drive whatsoever, they should be taken off the road and given a hefty fine or whatever the punishment is.
What? That's ridiculus, I have my car keys in my pocket [i]all the time[/i], even when I'm drinking. I just don't use them if I'm drunk. (although I usually leave my car at home if I'm going somewhere where I know I'll get drunk, but that's beside the point).
Yes, but why not just skip all that and buy a phone that is not locked in the first place. They are available, though you might need to do a little researching or order it over the internet or something.
I'm sure someone has said this here before, but it's very simple. A painting can be art. Not even Roger Ebert would disagree with that, right? But the act of looking at a painting is not art. Music can be art. The act of listening to music is not art. Movies can be art. The act of watching a movie is not art. Games can be art. The act of playing a game is not art.

How to make a DS Phone: Take phone Take DS Put them together with a rubber band ??? Profit!
That would only [i]enhance[/i] the signal! Haven't you ever used a radio?

That would be awesome, I can't wait to pick a steak from a tree for dinner.

If you want an unlocked phone, maybe you should .... well, I don't know. Maybe buy a fucking phone that is not fucking locked.

There. Get it now?
I think the issue is not whether the universe will do OK, but rather that humans will do OK.
Just tell the replicator what you want and it will replicate it! :P
I would advice against swallowing more than one magnet. Think about it!
It's funny because it must have taken you hours to type "btw I'm posting from a wii" from a Wii.
Why do you even need to factor? It should be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual that 100x - 1x = 99x
Best analogy ever.
