If you think the police don't care that much then you must not know how they can take everything you own over simply having an immature plant in your home. Dealing or not dealing, if you're manufacturing they will probably own you and all of your possessions.
What's worse is they will also take your WoW account, shard all of your purples, and sell all of your gold for money to fund their War on Weedcraft.
Capsicums include some pretty violently hot (and delicious) peppers, such as the Bhut Jolokia.
I was able to obtain some Bhut Jolokia seeds and will be attempting to grow them next year.:)
As for your claim that the word "pepper" is reserved for peppercorns, I'm pretty sure http://www.chilepepperinstitute.org/ might disagree. But that is probably, as you say, a difference in common names and probably a regional thing.
No lie. I was standing at a bank in Stormwind one day with my level 30 Female Human Mage and some male night elf rogue came up and asked me if I wanted some free "junk". I said sure, thinking I could vend or auction whatever it was he had to give.
6 items in the trade window later I said thanks and he said "see ya, enjoy" and took off.
As I went through each item to see what he had dumped off on me I realized he'd given me 5 pieces of complete vendor trash and a Staff of Jordan, which I couldn't even use yet.
It wasn't the first time people had been overly nice to me, and I normally figured it was just because my character was a gal. I never actually said I was a women in real life, nor did I ever say anything to indicate that I in fact was.
Just the same, five levels later I equipped a pretty sweet staff.:)
I've always heard that Saga was the best, but I can certainly say that Orta should have been called Panzer Dragoon Sorta.
It's an okay game, really, but Zwei is certainly better for a lot of reasons (not counting graphics, of course) and if Saga is as good as they say it is, Orta doesn't even compare.
Take a look at Songbird. It's not perfect and last I looked it still needed much work, but it's worth a look.
For the record, I use and like iTunes. It's not perfect, either, but I've used a lot of different ones across Win/OSX/Linux and I keep coming back to iTunes.
It's not the the DRM that keeps me there, either, since it's a non-issue.
Considering how few reports I've heard of the screen actually breaking though, I'd say it is a rare occurrence. Also, I remember that AT&T wasn't insuring several other phones when they first came out, so the screen probably had little to do with that.
Considering most iPhone owners are supposedly "very happy" (to quote headlines) I would say that it is somewhat uncommon that any are, as you say "f#cked", by a broken screen.
It is glass, though. Common sense care does apply.
I simply hate that Bumblebee is a freakin' Camaro simply because this is a GM Sponsored movie.
Not that I don't love Camaros or anything, but would it have been so hard for them simply to use another character, such as Hot Rod (who also wasn't a Camaro, but at least he was a sports car), so they can whore themselves out to GM and still stay somewhat close to what we all know and loved about the original?
Yes, but it wouldn't be hard to believe our military would shoot down an unidentified flying egg no matter how advanced or rare it's occupants might be.
"But, ironically, that new controller is so well suited for 3D space that I'd be surprised if anyone even tried to do a 2D game."
Yes, but the new controller also turns sideways and make an excellent NES-style controller.
If that's not enough, there is that whole "classic" controller thing.
I personally would LOVE to see a huge spike in popularity of 2D games. The hardware is even will suited for handling the task, and has a lot to offer a 2D game. Scaling and rotation would be a breeze for modern hardware, transparency is a piece of cake, sprites aren't limited to any specific number. There's no practical limit to the number of colors on screen. Unlimited levels of parallax are easily realized. The list goes on.
I guess as a developer in that environment you give them exactly what they want.
Maybe if you're just in it for cash, sure.
If you're making great games, and absolutely want to do things right, you include such a system, you disable it, then add a cheat code to turn it back on.
I am not going to knock Gears of War, since I just bought it the other day and have yet to have a chance to really sit down with it. But I don't think Gears of War is going to appeal to too many people other than shooter fans and Xbox 360 fans.
Sure, the game looks beautiful, amazing even. But to jaded gamers or casual gamers there isn't enough there to draw in anyone who wouldn't have already been drawn in already. I personally picked it up, played it for about 10 minutes, said "neat", and put it down. I'll get back to it when I have more time.
When I picked up Wii Sports, on the other hand, I said "neat", and I couldn't put it down.
There is a huge difference here.
Gears of War isn't going to expand the 360 much further beyond the existing gaming crowd. Wii Sports will.
On the other hand, there is a lot to be said about stores actualy having 360's and Gears of War in stock. Because, you know, you can actually get those if you want 'em. Of course, you can also get a PS2 and FF12 or Guitar Hero II as well... for less money.
You may be the only person in the entire world that thinks so.
Super Mario 64 is still by almost all standards one of the greatest games of all time. Sure, it's out-dated now, but the challenges are still fun. Good enough that many people felt compelled to repurchase it on the DS to get the new stars that were added, and to play through it again with the new characters.
Be honest with us, you never did really play it did you? That's okay, it's not too late for you. You can still pick up a Wii. It's a Virtual Console title.
I suppose it's possible you were just trolling, in which case, I guess you got me there.
Ninja Gaiden is great, and it's one of the few really outstanding XBox titles.
On the 360 at least we have Geometry Wars.
While I agree entirely with people when they say gaming is dead, because the mainstream killed it, I don't agree that there aren't any great games.
The problem is sifting through the rubbish to find the gems.
I would say 1 or 2 GREAT games come out per year for every system. Maybe one more or less depending on the year. Add one if you like remakes or sequels.
Here's what I've concluded.
The SAME number of great games come out today as they did back in the golden era. The difference is there are a HUGE number more shit games coming out than there were back then.

I always think of Plasteel whenever I hear about this.
I can think of better things to do with one hand.
And that's what happened to the Martians.

Bell Peppers are not Capsicums, I'm pretty sure.

Wouldn't "Hard-Core" be better off for Web-Browsing considering the content of most people's browsing habits...
So, uhm, yeah.

"claims to be no longer 'laughing stock' bad."
They're probably more like 'running joke' bad now.
I have the first one, Zwei, and Orta.
I've always heard that Saga was the best, but I can certainly say that Orta should have been called Panzer Dragoon Sorta.

With image filtering off, an image of an iPhone with a smashed screen is the number one result.
It's also totally fake.
There are a lot of complaints you could make about the iPhone, but the screen breaking or scratching isn't in that list.
Simple. They're GM's little bitches, whored out for the sole purpose of making a 2.5 hour GM commercial.

It's that second death you need to watch out for.
I know it can make one feel a bit uneasy for the first few hundred times. Don't worry, though, it gets a little better in the thousands.
"Still??"
Perhaps the first several times stunted the child's growth. With some luck he may fit in there the rest of his (probably short) life.
Experimentalists, though, haven't yet found a route to reach the center of the island."
I'm not really sure which would be more appropriate, Mapquest or Gamefaqs, but perhaps one of those will be able to give them proper directions.

far better 3D translations than the Mario series.
You may be the only person in the entire world that thinks so.

I suppose it's possible you were just trolling, in which case, I guess you got me there.
And why would anyone need that to play games?
Oh, you mean to maybe watch HD-DVD movies on?
What if one is more of a GAMER than a movie watcher?
Oh? Yeah, I guess you didn't know that some of us don't watch too many movies, huh?
Ninja Gaiden is great, and it's one of the few really outstanding XBox titles.

Still totally worthless.
