    Actually, the wTunes addon briefly had a /pizza addon that worked on Macs - it opened Safari up to Pizza Hut Australia's webpage. But I took it out, because it's a consarn retarded idea.

    If you read Plato's "Apology", the actual charge leveled by Meletus was that he had "corrupted the youth" by impiety - not worshipping the gods of the city. You can read more in the works of Xenophon.

    Everyone gives "The Transformed Man" a lot of shit, but I, for one, thought it was actually pretty good for a concept album!

    and then there will be the special movies, which people actually plan, work on, fix up, re-film, and add special effects to that end up being better than a lot of the movies in theaters

    I wish someone would shoot John Fiorella enough money to make Grayson in it's entirety. I thought it had a lot of promise plotwise, and the execution is pretty amazing for a fan-flick.

    Ah, yes, Paladins. Did you hear they were over powered? Because people won't stop talking about it. So I'd say that experience doesn't count. I've fought a monster 5 levels above me and would have won had a fair percentage of attacks landed.

    I solo creatures in this range with my Priest. Face it, you got no skillz.

  18. Re:I can't speak as a parent.. on Student RFID Tracking Suspended from School · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's amazing to occasionally see a stupid, unspoken assumption about morality actually spoken out loud. Fear of being punished is not the same as having a conscience, and relates more to law than morals. Morality of any stripe has to arise from personal conviction, and not from coercion.

  20. Re:Dropped the ball on Talisman on NYT on Warhammer · · Score: 1

    Well, they're a bit inconsistent in this regard. They released Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay to Hogshead to get it back on the market, but as the appearance ( and then rapid disappearance ) of Necromunda showed, they seem averse in the extreme to the idea of ever saying that their old products aren't going to reappear. ( Necromunda was a rehash of a White Dwarf serialised tactical called 'Confrontation' ).

    The one thing that makes me sad about these rereleases is that with every run around the track, the products feel... somehow blander, robbed of detail. I saw this when WH40K went from a softback book to a boxed set, again with Necromunda, and the practical pruning from the line of imaginative, fun games ( Gothic, Man O War, Bloodbowl ) that I guess weren't selling a lot of Mini's.

    Well, I'm ranting! I appreciate your frustration though - I attempted to obtain Talisman some time ago on eBay. Ouch.

    Unfortunately, in economic terms, the grandparent is absolutely correct. Blizzard isn't marketing some grand eternal truth here, they're marketing a product.

    Well, all I can say is that the United States and Australia both ratified the agreement, and that's definitely in the text where indicated. Perhaps they're choosing not to exercise that angle.

    The grandparent post said that a single mutation ( a gross simplification, but I see where it's leading ) could lead to some kind of virological catastrophe - but that situation exists today! The existing human viruses could take huge leaps in lethality or virulence as a result of mutations - for example higher powered flu's or airborne variants of existing body fluid transmission viruses.

    At the time he filed the patent, the head of the USPTO held a press conference and stated that he would be denying the patent on ethical terms, ground on which the USPTO is not supposed to tread.

    Interestingly, in my country, the list of inventions that may be excluded at will from patent protection include those which would interfere with the public order or morality ( AusFTA 17.9 clause 2A ). As this clause applies to both parties in the agreement, it would seem the USPTO now has this freedom as well.
