If you watch this more detailed video from back in November: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=109_1195663753 they even mention that long term they plan to enable the suits to be autonomous. Soldier steps in and it's an exoskeleton, soldier steps out, it's a humanoid robot.
One of the nice things about robot drone soldiers is that you have much more flexability in using less-lethal weapons. When your boys are out of harms way, ending a hostile threat immedately becomes a lower priority and you're free to taser, mace, netgun, springloaded boxing glove, et cetera, the enemy and take them alive. Hopefully this potental for fewer lost lives on both sides will be taken advantage of.
People always talk about how much the 64 supposedly sucked, but come on: Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, Paper Mario, Smash Bros...
Actually, my understanding is that the old "they're putting stuff in the food so I can't get it up" myth is a result of stress. It's not at all uncommon that a soldier in basic or combat to be so physically and emotionally stressed that they are unable to preform. This is quite normal, however, the male ego refuses to believe this, so it clearly must be the result of outside interference, like the REMFs putting something in the food.
Real punk still is. Hell, my ribs and jaw still hurt from catching a skinhead's elbow at a punk show in the basement of a small cafe last night. The bands in question all have their own self-published CDs for sale.
I was stunned when I fired up the beta. To me it felt like a re-skinned WoW without playable horde. In fact, I played WoW until I got sick of it and haven't played since, but after 8-10 hours of the LotRO beta, I wasn't so much tired of this new game as I was still tired of WoW. I promptly uninstalled. Mind you, that's just my opinion.
The old "no using.50s on personnel, they're for equipment only" fallacy gets thrown around a lot. In fact, my best friend even had it told to him when he was in basic. According to a DOD legal briefing: nothing in the Geneva or Hague Conventions prohibited the use of.50 cal weapons on enemy personel, the Hague Conventions only apply to signatory nations' UNIFORMED military personel, and US military personel always have the right to defend themselves and other personel with deadly force, using whatever weapon(s) are available; including fists, rocks, pointy sticks, knives, shotguns, cannon, etc.
"A pidgin, or contact language, is the name given to any language created, usually spontaneously, out of two or more languages as a means of communication between speakers of different tongues, and usually a simplified form of one of the languages. Pidgins have simplified grammars and few synonyms, serving as auxiliary contact languages. They are learned as second languages rather than natively."
Getting out isn't the only option. There's a great indie record store(
Strangeland Records) not far from where I'm currently living in northern VA. They don't just put a bunch of CDs on the racks and expect people to come in and buy them. They have at least 3 free live shows per week right in the shop. Local bands come in to play and get exposure, local people come and get a free show, the store gets lots of people coming in who then buy things since they're there. It's win/win/win.
They carry CDs from local bands and do a lot to support the local scene. They also make use of the wall space to sell art by local artists, and they have a good selection of records, something a DJ can't just download. I've never asked Ryan if I could look at the books, so I don't know what kind of profits he's pulling, but they just celebrated their first year of operation last month and things look to be going well.
Honestly I'm more worried about a good guy I know who owns an indie record store. He works hard to support the local music scene, sells local band's CDs, and has at least three free shows a week right in the shop. He's not doing it out of some hope of becoming fabulously wealthy, he's doing it because he loves music. When he moved to DC he couldn't find a store with a decent selection of industrial, so he took matters into his own hands and Strangeland Records was born. He's living the dream, and I hope that enough people see the value in a store supporting the local scene to keep that going...
As a matter of fact, yes. I'm not delusional, I know the few of us who are pro-voluntary human extinction will never convince the population at large. But I'll take what I can get, in this case a better future for people.
Congratulations! Your post makes it clear that you are officially "too cool for the hype" and thereby qualifies you for hipster status. Just let us know where you want the certificate sent.

As a matter of fact, that's part of the plan.

Now now, every nerd kid has read the guide, it's the old folks who've LISTENED to it.
There's no machine printing going on. We (NH voters) fill in an SAT style bubble with a marker by hand.
No doubt our good friends at Monsanto would kill to be the main maverick company in question.
I cried playing FFVII when I realized how many people would never play FFVI and think FFVII was the best RPG ever.
That's for one unit of energy WE use to produce it; all that solar power that goes into it is what we're getting out.
Rumble? Alright! Time to run right out and buy that PS3!

It had some of the best damn games of all time.

Twinkies don't have a shelf-life, they have a half-life.

You're getting dangerously close to a violation of rules 1 and 2...

Child rearing advice from the same people who brought us Battle Royale? Where do I sign up?!

Looking at the comments so far it would appear the only thing keeping this from being a perfect name is ignorance...
I assure you that you never having heard any Pavement doesn't make them any less amazing.

Yeah, like giving it to me so I can spend it on hardware that will be outdated in 6 months.

Strictly speaking, punk ONLY comes from non-RIAA sources. As soon as you sell out you're not playing punk anymore, just a sad mockery of it.
