Just for the sake of consistency...if "gaijin" is acceptable, is "jap" acceptable? Both can be condescending depending on who you ask (and where you ask I suppose). Otherwise, the preferred term is "gaikokujin."
On a less serious note, great info. I'm a local around there and will have to hit those places up.
ESDF myself. It's already the natural typing position, and opens up more keys on the left for binds. Finally, it has the little nub on the F for fast placement.
Er, it sounds like you're talking about actual code modification, whereas your parent is talking about custom maps using the editor, and the out-of-the-box engine.
You could do that in the Source engine if you wanted to, but I don't consider the DM client to be a part of the toolset. I'm referring to the editor.
Out of the box? Not sure about that...And the parent was clearly referring to both the DM client, and the editor as making NWN special. Even if you just compared the editors and ignored the client, I'm guessing NWN's editor integrates a lot of the hooks necessary for the DM client to interface with.
If you want to directly compare NWN with Half-Life, could you make a flight simulator with NWN? An RTS? An FPS? Racing game? NWN's editing capabilities are very restricted compared to what you can do with most FPS games.
Again, out of the box? Maybe with Gary's mod or something.
Uh, the key point was not that he died of cancer, that was an aside. The key point was that they kept him on schedule for execution. He died of cancer, while still being on death row.
Except you can't really threaten someone with calling out fire in a theater to get your way, or to coerce them. "Do what I say, or I'm going to call out fire in the theater that we happen to be in." At best, it could be classified as some sort of indirect threat. Whereas threatening to kill someone is a bit more direct, and the end results a bit more binary. Either you're murdered, or you're not.
Arguing and yelling aren't fighting. Make the distinction; it's not that hard. Yes, for people who lose their cool when things get loud (as you probably suffer from), it can be hectic. Those people shouldn't be cops.
You're an idiot. Let us observe:
"The whole point of tazers is that they are the least physically damaging thing a cop can do and still efficiently neutral a potentially violent subject."
1. He went limp. That's some kind of Ghandi violence, huh?
2. They outnumbered him.
3. Really the *least* physically damaging thing you can do? Especially when he was outnumbered and he went limp? Give me a break. Maybe if the cops had the bodies of 5 year olds.
4. They tazered him 5 times. If you need to do that to control one guy, in conjunction with the above #1 and #2, you're just incompetent.
Did I break that down simply enough for you?
Uh, 17-20, not exactly where I look to for mature opinions. Yes, I'm discriminating by age. It's possible there's some gems in there, but from my own experience (plus, I'm only a little bit beyond 20), *most* people in that age group aren't the most prudent of the bunch.
Are you some sort of simpleton, or what? No one is saying they should have just left the library. Yes, you pulled that out of your ass to save what's left of your shitty argument. Read, and re-read what people are saying. You do not need to be tazed 5 times to control someone who went limp, especially when you outnumber said person. Re-read that one more time. Oh wait, you're still thinking the cops shouldn't have to leave the library.
If not, you seem to misunderstand the mutability of language. I'm sure your analogous asshole counterpart in England finds the entire American English language to be a pet peeve.
The key part is: I use the products that happen to be the best for my price range at the time I'm upgrading.
If you're bound to a cpu socket, and it's cost prohibitive to switch to a higher performing one, then that violates your price range.
Well, more specifically, fanboy-ism. This is capitalism after all. They got their money, I got my product. Nothing else is needed. I use the products that happen to be the best for my price range at the time I'm upgrading. I used to use Intel back in the day, then I switched to AMD, and if I were to upgrade today, I'd get Intel.
relatively uneducated communists take over and purge the educated.
But it really depends when you look. When China had "junks", the West didn't really have anything similar. Same for silk and porcelain. China was making developments towards steel hundreds of years Before Common Era, that wouldn't be matched in the West until medieval times.
Now, they're considered backwards, for good reason, and probably will be for many decades to come. It takes awhile to recover from such a devastating and calculated blow to civilization, especially when the cause of such devastation manages to hold onto power.
You've covered the price of one set of 16,000 chips, kinda. What about the other 16,000? And that's just the chips. There's power, cooling, the rest of the hardware, software...
I love how your handle matches his sig perfectly.
Who said anything about application in an insurgency?

I just wanted to note that our SC430 did exactly that. "YOUR DELL MACHINE HAS NO OPERATING SYSTEM" when I booted it up.

Hence, the misanthropy.

Technically, I thought we design the chips. The manufacturing generally occurs out of country, mostly.
Same with California.

Comply. Comply. Comply...

That's assuming all tazers have equal strength. Police-grade tazers, I'm sure, are on the upper end of the spectrum.
Get over it.
