After reading a few of the comments here I feel like my personal understanding of both dark matter and gravitons is flawed.
I did understand it like this: Dark matter was basically "invented" to explain why the universe was expanding slower than it actually should. Dark matter only interacts with the rest of the universe with its mass, thus via Gravitation While Gravitons are the particle behind behind gravitation. So, aren't Gravitons and Dark Matter more or less the same? As I said i have my doubts if my understanding is correct. Anyone able to point out my missunderstanding?
Being an EVE player myself, I fail to see in which ways the game mechanics destroy friendships. Mind to explain this a little further?
Anyway, most of the game has considerably improved since u left. Especially POS (Player owned Stations) give High-end players lots of new abilities. Also Joe Average has way more abilities to make money like complexes and the new agent system. And the player-run economy is pretty cool and imho the best implementation of this concept so far. Though the Tech2 Blueprints are still a problem which pisses a lot of people off (me being one of those).
Its kinda funny. Sometimes i get this strange feeling that US citizens like seeing other people being harmed. Or is there any other reason why so many people express their approval of this form of punishment? There are nations where this guys simply would have to pay for the damages dealt, which would definitely not include some arbitrary "IBM-Bonus". And the latter is IMHO far more civilized.
In one country, evidence indicating that something was removed counts as evidence itself. In the other it doesn't.
Which of the two is fair? Which of the two does not tend to be missused? I dislike using terms like fascism and dictatorship, but this is one the things which tip the balance between a free nation and both of the former.
Though the seemed to lack the competence needed in the recent past. For example they mixed up arrival dates for a martian invasion with the recent godzilla attack a few month ago! Don't even mention their lack of mechas resulting in mothra becoming a maniac depressive, since he had barely any resistance.
Maybe they should take a closer look at their new Orleans Counterpart which pulled of some real impressive havoc this year.
While you do have a point, your assumptions aren't 100% accurate. I remember reading an article about a woman who was born with exactly this genetic fault. I don't remember if this research has anything to do with this specific person, or if it even worked in a similar way. She didn't do stupid stuff like beating people up or jumping off a roof. Keep in mind that humans don't completely rely on instincts to judge most situations. She was at least as intelligent as other people, but she totally lacked common sense and the least bit of suspiciousness. Thus she was totally dependant to her friends who had to save her from trusting the ocassional asshole who tried to abuse her behaviour.
Natural Selection actually was a stunning game. Unfortunately its a steamgame now. And it got steamrolled by the kiddies too. So i dön't really consider it an option anymore.
You don't honestly think, that even a minority of the prostitutes wouldn't get another job if they could. Its probably one of the most disgusting jobs around.
If these rioters are racists and they attack their subjects of hatred, why do they mostly burn cars and houses of other, equally poor people?
These arent racists. They are simply rioters, rioting for the sake of it. They have fun destroying stuff. They are no better than the punks who "visited" the annual may-riots in berlin. Politicians kept talking about "deescalation" (The Police was ordered to not provoke them and leave them alone) while the riots became more and more violent every year.
Though, finally the idea of deescalation was dropped.
*cough*
First to file a patent instead of first to invent is NOT a good thing.
The patent law needs a reform, but this one goes into the wrong direction.
Also, its less the law, then the USPTO being the problem.
It's safe to eat rare steaks because there isn't any bacteria inside the meat. It's on the outside, and that gets cooked.
Sorry but this just isn't true.
Meat can surely contain bacteria or the likes. Especially wild animals are likely to be infected or be inhabitet by parasites. Though, i guess that most of the meat being sold is probably more likely to be harmless.

Please, think of the Slashdotters!
Actually the problem are those people who don't learn what information to avoid.

unlike judges and lawyers.
There is also the intellectual property stored up in Maxtors employees
When did knowledge and skill like this become intellectual property?
May I ask you the following:
In one country, evidence indicating that something was removed counts as evidence itself.
In the other it doesn't.

Tokyo Desaster department had this for years!

The more time you spend talking the less time you spend thinking.
That could be one of the reasons why we all love politicians so much.

Pity that no other game picked up its ideas.

Awww, you just made me cry :'(
Last time I checked there was no "Wine-Industry"
I don't expect a lawyer to represent his personal believes rather than his clients interest.
But we are not talking about some generic lawyer. She is about to become a Supreme Court Judge. She has to obey her conscience, not some client.

I guess it literally phones home.
War on Nature!
See it all on Fox News!
In Alpha Centauri you could build pressure domes to protect your cities from submerging.

I just hope that this one doesn't turn out like The Celts vs. The Romans.
Celts vs Romans resulted in the destruction of the early civilizations and led europe to the dark-age.
Who of us is the pessimist?
Question from the newbie, which I am. Why is that funny?
I didnt know, Harry Potter was the Inventor of the Krogoth.
