You, uhhh, *do* realize that there is probably at least another two *years* until this is released right? You do realize that the demos were just 'teasers', right? Of course you do!
It's still unnecessary. Killing someone, or trying to kill someone, or being so negligent as to cause someone's death, are already illegal.
At the State level, yes. We're talking about the Federal level. The Federal court system only has jurisdiction over very specific murder/manslaughter cases.
I don't get it... I guess I was the only one that liked T3... not the best of the series, in fact, it'd be #3 on my list, but still... I loved the ending, which really had that "oh shit, we're screwed" feeling that I love in movies (the end of Colossus for example). I thought John Connor was infinitely more likable than in T2 (could be because the actor playing him was a lot more likable IMO than in T2)...
Agreed. At first, I thought T3 was little more than a popcorn-rehash of T2 - until the last five minutes of it. I honestly never saw the ending coming. That *made* the film for me. It effectively put the Humans and the Machines at a stalemate: The machines failed to prevent John Connor from rising to be the leader of the resistance, and the Humans were unable to prevent a nuclear holocaust. There is still plenty of story to tell here (minus time travel and even Arnold, for that matter). In the right hands, these films could actually be good!
the extreme left here would love complete regulation of the markets; they'd love to arbitrarily pick a number and have any business profit over that number be considered a "windfall" whether it makes any sense or not, they'd love to BAN Hummers.
The "Extreme Right" in the US wants to ship off all Arab Americans to GITMO, make Jesus Christ "Lord and Savior of the United States", and put all women's overies in charge of the local government-funded Christian church? Does that mean that the "US Right" is Fascist?? Your arguments have no relevance to your conclusions. The "Left" party in the US - the ones who actually represent the mainstream left, not the extremists is *FAAR* more centrist than the traditional European Left.
What flavor Kool-Aid is that? Ever since 1980, the trend has been towards privitization and deregulation. The organized labor movement in the US is but a shadow of what it was forty years ago.
So add it all up, and tell me which countries are so far to the left of the ideals of the left in the U.S., that they can call the left in the U.S. "right?"
Take a pencil and randomly point it just about anywhere in Europe.
What could our left want that's to the left of what they want now?
Nothing, that's the point. The amount of government interference in the Markets seen in countries like France and Germany would *never* fly with mainstream US Democrats.
30 years ago universal health care was a silly, irresponsible pipe-dream that no reasonable, budget-conscious official would even discuss.
Thirty years ago, people were actually able to afford comprehensive health insurance...
I really don't understand this; they say our left is to their right. How much farther left can our left get than socialism, the desire for socialized medicine, socialized education, highly progressive taxes, abortion on demand, gay marriage, and a whole slew of other things? I mean, these are the things that the "left" want. I really want to know, if I'm so out of touch, what more our left should want to make them more left.
I'll have to file this one under "Non Sequitur".
Since when are abortion, and gay marraige "Socialist" issues?? Secondly, you mention "public education" and "public health care" as indicators of a Socialist state. You *do* realize that every other industrialized CAPATILIST AND FREE MARKET NATION on the planet has these, don't you?? Many left leaning nations (not SOCIALIST, mind you) have *faaaar* more social programs and government regulation (or outright control) of industries than we do.
if my mechanic tells me i need a muffler belt and that sounds good and i want to protect my car, it doesnt mean i lied when i tell my wife why we need one, just clueless.
But Cheney and bush had several other "Mechanics" (in the State department, CIA, etc.) telling them that there's no such thing as a "Muffler Belt" (WMD, Iraq/Al Qaida link). Bush and Cheney then went in front of their "wives" (Congress and the US Public) and announced "We have irrefutable proof that we are in dire need of a Muffler Belt!".
Then there is the Collections API itself which upon first glance seems like it was written by amateurs who have never had to write any performance critical code in their lives. For this reason as well, I generally try and avoid using anything in java.util as well.
And you can justify to your boss spending weeks implementing your own collections framework to save a whopping 50 ms of processing per day? To say nothing of the ramp-up time required of the poor schmuck who has to maintain code that uses your wonderful non-standard libraries.
Seriously, I've been using the Collections framework since it was beta, and have never had a situation where its performance wasn't "good enough". Is it really "that bad" for your business need? Or are you committing the cardinal sin of premature optimization???

Oooooohhhhhkkkkkkaaaaaaayyyyyyy!
Bah, "Happy Birthday" is soooooo 20th century. Everyone knows that birthday music has paradigm shifted to Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary.
Where's fuckin' SLAYER!!!!!!
^Which is probably why GP quit playing. ;)

^If only Mencia were that funny!
Then use a 'professional' grade spam filter...
We all know that government officials are nerds. And on the moon, nerds get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks.
I am not a number! I am a Free Man!!

See the difference??
I'm content with the fact that it was Jar-Jar who effectively damned the Republic by motioning for Palpatine's emergency powers.
You're thinking of the AK97. ;)
^ I have benchmarks against the 1.5 JVM that show otherwise...
