I'm with you. I was a big fan of the Homeworld series. Nexus did a pretty good job of recapturing what made Homeworld great. The only real nitpicks I had with Nexus was the inexact movement system that you mentioned, and the fact that in the later missions it became almost impossible to be victorious without losing one or two of your fleet ships. And fighters were basically useless. Aside from that disabling ships mostly came down to have the correct loadouts. You send a ship with mostly hull damaging weapons to disable ship subsystems and of course the result would not be what you want.
I've known some smart leftists, I've also known one or two smart right-wingers.
This guy doesn't seem very smart.
1. He stupidly keeps logs
2. He caves under a subpeana
3. And then to cover his ass he plays "the spooks are going to kill me if I don't co-operate card."
What good are you to your cause if you aren't willing to risk incarceration or bodily harm for it? Anyone who tries to change the way of the world ends up dead, he should have kept his mouth shut if he wasn't willing to risk that.
If I were one of his comrades I'd be very pissed at him.
Thats the craziest thing I've ever heard. Op-out? Sure if you have your surgery unit on stand-by. Wait till the start implanting it in your skull or trunk for "security reasons". Lets see your Op-Out then. Thank You, but I'll hold out for the Orwellian society of none.
So here's my question? If no Law enformement is invovled, lets say you see the corprate black suits coming up the driveway and iniate the self-destruct script (we all read Cryptonomicon right?). Is it still destroying evidence and obstructing justice?
I keep seeing that scene from Hackers when the SWAT team comes through Phantom Phreak's windows with M4's...
I'm the exact opposite. I stopped buying CD's years ago. I stopped burning my MP3s to CD when I bought my Rio Karma. I don't buy DVDs either. Thats what DVD mail rental is for. I do buy books though, so I do agree with you. Why would I pay 8.00 for a paperback I know I'll probably only read once and then stick on a shelf or on a pile, when I can probably borrow the book for free from the Library? Psychology is fascinating...
The entire point of looking it up on the interent is so that he wouldn't have to call ahead.
Granted I'd never drive 2 hrs for food (no matter how much ganja was in my system), but I'd be pissed too. Incidently the longest I've ever driven for food was about 40 minutes for In N' Out burgers and that only because for "some reason" I thought it was only 20 minutes away.
Yeah I've wondered it myself. I'm generally pretty far left politcally, but I really admire the Conservatives for that one thing. They'll put aside whatever diffrences they have for what they consider the greater good. Liberals won't. The pot smoking Hippies in Hombolt and the Liberal New York Jews somehow think they're on different sides...
shortsightedness or overthinking of the situation I guess.

If not I herbey proclaim it Goat's Law.
Yeah I'd move but what are my options? Some depressing dead city, one one of the many Hicksvilles...
only if it v=came in atleast 4 different pastel colors. As far as I can tell it only comes in pink. iBlasphemy!

No no you're confusing Anarchism with Christian Cultists

Well thats to be expected. The first epsiode of a new trek series 20+ years after the original. You'd have to stunt cast to bring in the old fans
But for a finale? If you don't have yet you aren't ever going to...
I don't know how you can blame this on the net. Voyager put up with much the same scrutiny and held its own.
Thats really sad. To think they have to stunt cast to get people to watch the finale. Trek has really hit a new low.
Correcting that ungodly lie is next on the agenda, as soon as we get that whole gay marriage thing sorted out.
Imagine the world being all round, we'd all fall off!
Sounds like those jams my grandmother makes...mmm fetus preserves...
Can I go to the Hoosegow? I hear they have better facilities.
The FBI might have a problem with the conversations of their Special Agen...um... 12 year old girls, being broadcasted on late night cable.
Th electromagnet thing should work, but I've never been bored enough to test it. The CD in the microwave I hear is unreliable.
I keep seeing that scene from Hackers when the SWAT team comes through Phantom Phreak's windows with M4's...
thats not a bad idea. In my current state of underemplyment it'll be a way to pass the time. Although I probably don't have the space for it...

answer: We hated the CP for what it was, but it also consumed huge amounts of bandwidth so we couldn't afford to keep it around.
I'm more intrigued by this statment.
Heh, I still have an old file cabinet from that company that is labeled "The PedoFile."
I wouldn't keep that stuff around. True or not you get labelled a pedophile and your life is over.
Dude. It's a TV quote, not the Fundamental Theory of Physics.

I suppose thats one way to solve your poulation problems. Mix your babies with rabbit, that way you can eat the extras...
