I wish Nintendo also "pioneered" some new games... Motion controls are great, but useless if there are no new games to take advantage of them. WiiSports seems to be more of an exception.
I disagree. Nintendo has one of the best track records when it comes to developing not only interesting games, but also innovative ones.
Sure, they have a few franchises going (Mario, Metroid, Zelda, etc.) but they keep innovating and reinventing them in new ways, and they do introduce great new games once in a while (Pikmin comes to mind).
I think the biggest problem Nintendo has currently is that they're basically the only ones creating good games for their console. The DS seems to have better third-party titles, but on the Wii side it's almost only crap.
Pikmin came out in 2001. What have they done recently?
"It's very aggressive, and I think it's a gamble on the part of the prosecutors," Mr. Rose said.
The prosecution should be brought up on illegal gambling charges.
I actually think we in the Boston area are better drivers than the rest of the country, mostly because of the idiots we have to deal with on a daily basis here. Sort of like training Olympians, and then going to play the local high school team.
If you're all such great drivers where are those idiots coming from?
It will be a while before we get the first wedding in orbit.
For now every idea has been done.
You can all stop being original and go get married in a church.
There are charging cradles that will allow you to use your cell phone to supply dialtone to your TwenCen phones. That way you don't have to run all over the house looking for the cellphone.
If I ever hear anybody use the term "TwenCen" to refer to the twentieth century, I will have to go medieval on your ass (yes, yours, as I highly doubt anyone sane would use such a term on their own, so if anyone else does, I declare it your fault and your fault alone).
Or maybe Napoleonic on your ass. At a stretch, Victorian or Elizabethan. At any rate, it certainly wouldn't be some sissy TwenCen on your ass. Those people were pansies.
Comon man get with the Twen 1 Cen!
Don't you want to be cool?
Correct me if I'm wrong: The iPhone doesn't have background applications, so the student has to go to class, sit down, run the app to locate his or herself. Couldn't they then could quit the app, get up and leave?
Didn't make it to the second half of the summary, eh?
Also... what sort of college has an attendance sheet? (Aside, apparently, from the one in TFA.) At that point in life, you know enough to decide for yourself if you want to attend class. If you cut, it's no one's loss but your own.
UWM did for it's 100 level courses. Beyond that they assumed you had enough dsicipline to decide for yourself. Still all kinds of stupid.
No I didn't read the article but now that I have I matain this will still happen. You just keep your personal info on your real phone, which in Japan is going to be better than an iphone anyway.
So who you supposed to notify when you dig? If the fiber is secret, nobody's going to tell you where it's at, and nobody's going to 'fess up about the ownership of said fiber.
And who do you make the check out to when you do cut it? Or would a 'Hey, how the hell can we know when we cut a top secret fiber? How we supposed to know it's there if it's top secret and we don't have clearance???' defense work in court when the other guy's lawyers come at you for damages?
Considering how often they cut fiber that is on the map and get away with it, I doubt this would be a problem.
They would guard the specifics [of B2 antigravity tech] but they wouldn't miss the chance to brag about our military might.
If anti-gravity technology is possible, then what need is there for military might? How would our plutocrats justify perpetual war if not for scarcity of energy?
Free will applies to God as well. He's free to consider a person a Christian even if they disagree.
This doesn't make sense. Most of the Bible talks about what one has to do to achieve salvation - it is quote explicitly never unconditional. If you reject God, or Jesus' sacrifice, then the sacrifice does not absolve you - and thus you are not saved. Yes, of course God can take any sinner, and change him to be perfect saint - that's what true omnipotence means - but in doing so he would have to override the choices and decisions of that man that made him a sinner in the first place, and thus, ultimately, his free will - something that God never, ever does to a man. Because if he did, then the old question of "why God lets evil exist" would raise its ugly head. The only reasonable reply to that is, "because God gave us free will, and thus we are free to create evil".
It's not like anyone complains when their let into heaven.
Do you believe in physically "letting someone into heaven"? Isn't heaven (and hell) merely a state into which a soul brings itself, by its own actions, and most specifically, the acceptance or rejection of God?
Man kind has free will. You can reject God even beyond that if you don't actively accept God you won't make it into heaven.
Romans 10:9
9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
That being said once you've accepted him there's nothing you can do to get kicked out.
Also the Bible always refers to Heaven and Hell as places not states. If it's not a actual place one is left to wonder where the soul actually is located when it's in a "state" of heaven or hell.
Your are mostly correct in saying that it hinges on the acceptance or rejection of God. Though I could nitpick and say that it's God's intervention and not our own action's that saves a soul. We save ourseleves in the same sense that a drowning man save's himself by screaming at a life guard.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Also, are there many native-born Americans who are willing to pick fruit for $3/hour? Like it or not, we've had so many illegal immigrants for so long that the illegal labor force has become an integral part of the economy)
This is the real problem. Fruit pickers would be getting paid more if it weren't for illegal immigrants.
This applies to several other jobs as well.
You can chooose not to seek God in the first place but once a Christian always a Christian.
What about free will, then? Surely, when God gave such to man, part of it was the ability to renounce God (even after first accepting him)?
Note also that even your Romans citation essentially lists external reasons as those that "shall not be able to separate". It doesn't say anything about a man himself willfully rejecting God out of his free will alone.
Or are you of a denomination that believes that salvation (or lack of it) is predetermined for all, and their very actions are already guided by that predetermination?

Seth McFarlane is the single most important writer in the English language since the time Shakespeare, Coleridge, and Blake.
So there's that.
Thus proving my theory that nothing of literary consequence has happend since Blake.
just enjoy the show and live the rest of your life.
We have no lives and you know it!
Crytek doesn't make games as it is, they make tech demos.
Yeah but there really cool tech demos.
If this keeps Crytek from making games it has become the worst kind of tragedy.
The kind that affects me!

Dude hold my phone and let me borrow your notes after class.
People signed each others names on the attendence sheet all the time at my college.
People need to grow beyond the need to label things as completely good or completely bad (which is yet another trap).
Is that a bad thing?

Because they (insert country) hate our freedom.
We still have about 5 and a half years to fully set up the back to the future 2 future.

Have those already. They just need to shrink them a little more to get them in line with the movie.

Yes they would.
