Uh - not if she's 16 or 17 in most states. Or here in the UK. My G/f was 17 when we got together - we could do whatever we liked, but it would have been illegal for me to take a photo of her topless... Nice consistency lawmakers.
I know what you mean. If I heard a song on the radio I liked, I'd google what I remembered of the lyrics and look the song up on Youtube. I'd then listen around other tracks by the same artist to decide if I want to buy the album. I've been burned too many times with albums that only had 1 good track on to buy albums on the strength of liking one song. Hell, I've discovered bands I never heard of before through the similar links.
Now I just download the whole damn album. Care to guess if I bother to buy it after that?
And yet you're still buying from them? I'd personally consider a business practice like that one hell of a red flag and look at having nothing more to do with them.
The psychic brain monster was meant to be a "Give humanity a common enemy and watch them all pull together." The Dr Manhattan plot is more of a "Behave or the Big Blue Guy in the Sky will get you." Ever so slightly different meanings and I can see why Alan Moore was pissed off about it.
How's about high power laser "sensors" - think about it...
"Blockage detected...coils charging...removing obstruction in 5...4...3..."
This is Japan after all - they solve everything with lasers over there.
How do you handle some jackass blocking the door, thereby preventing the train from leaving until security removes the blockage from the doorway?
Crushing societal pressure to conform?
Crushing fingers and testicles by burly security guards whose performance bonus depends on people not getting away with this sh1t?
If the government is so damned fixed on taxing and spending, and are so damned anti-prostitution, why should they care if they piss off the hookers by establishing a sin tax?
Don't say that - they'll probably end up taxing sex outside marriage. It's only a short step from there to increasing taxes on alcohol as a "gateway drug"...
Unfortunately it seems that now it's a case of
The normal people pull in random directions according to their needs
The vested interests pull in one direction according to their needs...
I really don't like squad-based games. The squad always gets in the way of my usual "Engage at maximum range for the longest-range weapon you have, then when they start to close disengage and circle round to come at them again at 60-120 degrees to the original angle of engagement with a mid-range meatgrinder weapon" tactic.
I mean if the squad could be given orders to "Stay hidden and hold fire till enemy enters kill zone A then cut rip" they might be helpful but as it is they usually end up getting too close for me to use any AOE weapons. That said at least Ashley in Resident Evil 4 was quite good at staying out of your line of fire...
C'mon. Pleeeease can we have a version of Baldur's Gate/NWN for the DS? Seriously - I might even break my policy of never buying games full-price for that one...
CF only affects men huh? Well I guess I'd better go to my friend Steph's grave and tell her it's okay - turns out that it didn't kill her last year after all.
What a terrible nanny state we live in if verbally harassing someone under a pseudonym is punishable by 3 years in prison!
So... if I decide to wage a campaign of harassment and intimidation against you then you have _no_ problem with that? Pseudonym or not that is what you are defending.
YAY! Somebody finally convinced Anonymous Coward to kill him/her/itself. They've been talking smack far too long - I'm so looking forward to a Slashdot without their inane interjections
Let's not forget that if we had no use for cows,chickens, pigs etc they would probably have been hunted to extinction to free up land to grow the vegetables for us all to eat. Unless you're talking about changing basic human nature to be less greedy and rapacious, in which case Good Luck. Seriously, you'll need it.
I'm a (mostly) carnivore - my metabolism's a bit weird and needs large amounts of easily digested protein on a regular basis. My fiance decided to go vegetarian after about 3 years of being together - my response was basically "Cool. I'll respect your rights to make a choice if you respect my rights to make a different choice than you."
In 2 1/2 years of living together the only arguments we've had on the subject have involved the couple of times I cooked something meaty on the grill and forgot to clean it so the juices ended up getting on what she was cooking. My mess-up, my fault. The point is we both have respect for the other's rights to make an informed choice - I have worked in a poultry factory, I do understand the subject fairly well. PETA doesn't afford people that courtesy - their stance is basically that they are right, and anybody who chooses a different path to them must be an idiot who can't be trusted to make their own decisions. That is highly offensive to most intelligent people and loses them massive amounts of respect. PETA end up doing more harm than good to the vegetarian cause - they give people a ready-made straw man argument already set up to be knocked down...
We're all going to need some counselling. Seriously - this little "lander that can" has outperformed expectations to such a massive degree. Spirit/Opportunity models might well end up taking a place next to the Darth Spuds on geek desks across the world...
Kind of suitable for an MMO - none of those have an end either...
Though you can guarantee that the incredible depth of detail that draws in Robert's fans will be lost - there's just no way that could be transferred.
Nah, they're part of the base schema. With all the swap file use from your average windows install you'll be hearing one of these babies soon enough...

Energy from spin... maybe we've found a use for our surfeit of politicians after all...

It's even worse than that - the bucket would have to be rotating around its own center of mass which would have changed as the cupfull was removed...
What is the sound of one hand surfing...

Seconded. I can't play _any_ game that uses Starforce because I have the temerity to own a DVD burner...
I'm afraid you missed your opportunity on that one by a good 15-20 years mate...

What? Did I miss something?
I believe a certain Mr Gadd would beg to differ...
