Any marksmen knows that once you aim a gun at a person, you may as well shoot AND that if you shoot, you're going to kill and can't assume or hope otherwise.
It was the first lesson my father taught me when I learnt how to use a gun. Anything else is just a television fantasy.
I've no gripe with owning a gun and using it for defence, but please don't kid yourself into thinking that a rifle will be less likely to kill.

My money is on Godzilla, but it would probably be a good fight.
Academics have had it pinned to that location for a fair while now, mainly thanks to Plato's description of it. The interesting thing about this article, which is new news is that they've found a structure - now that's going to be very interesting.
Of course, I'm still waiting to hear about what is under the chamber of the Sphinx too.
The Max Payne writing drew heavily upon the books and style of Raymond Chandler. The witty retorts, the overlly elaborate metaphors, the dark ambience and emotionally wounded characters etc, etc.
It concerns me that this isn't acknowledged in any way. I enjoyed the game, but I knew when I played it, that I was playing a tribute to a great author.
"IMPORTANT: Recent controversy involving Lindows/Linspire Recently Slashdot posted an article that accuses Lindows of violating creative commons license, this is not true. I posted the CC license in response to learning that Linspire was using my graphics without permission. The reason for that was to make things clear for future problems, not linspire."
The truth is that linspire was using my graphics without first obtaining permission. I'm currently in talks with them to get this issue resolved. But just for the record, this is not an issue involving the newly posted creative commons license. I still hold authorship rights to the graphics
Well then, I'm going to patent the button returning to it's neutral state after being pressed.
Then I'm going to build a factory that sells disposable buttons.
I personally can't see what the advantage is in paying for closed media formats on linux. It seems a bit paradoxical but perhaps it might encourage people making the switch.
It might be difficult convincing people to pay for something in linux, that is provided already free in Windows however.
Not a very compelling commercial package by my estimations however.
You're a boring homophobe - go and get an education before you shoot your bigotted mouth off in public. Peppering your poorly informed arguments with latin won't help you either.
Gay people has the same rights as you do, and it won't be long before those rights are recognised legally.
Grow up you fundamentalist bigot.
Yes, but is it good art?

Videogames as Art

Warhol was able to break the distinction between high and low art, even so far as to incoporate advertising and trash pop culture etc, etc. Warhol imo however wasn't really a very good artist, but contributed great ideas to the art community.
In the same way, one can agree or disagree whether games are art, however in my opinion the real topic for discussion should be instead: "Are video games good art?"
Oh yes you do have a problem with homosexuals, a huge problem with them. You don't think that they're entitled to marriage or respect. You've already recently insulted them and made gross discriminatory generalisations against them. You're a hateful uneducated coward, and you imitate your betters.
You probably think you're terribly clever by your vague and overally verbose prejudices. Go and get an education. Even at the very least a theology degree would make your fundamentalist prejudices a bit more interesting. Judging from you site, a web design course wouldn't harm you either.
You've frothed things like "they sure publically portray a sense of entitlement and arrogance that puts the 15th century crusaders to shame. Just look at the "they have it so we should too" rallying cry. Shear unadulterated and spoiled selfishness.
You've further said in your journal that homosexuals wish to be finacially subsidised by the government and that they parallel an Orwellian conspiracy. Of course, that's in between your embarasingly uninformed musings on Genesis.
I have two university degrees, and so am indeed educated by any standard. What university would put up with your knuckle dragging? None unless the Hitler Youth are branching out.
The only reason why you're not heavily moderated is that you've hidden your prejudice in lines and lines of overally verbose froth. Grow up.
People like you "On Lawn" merely immitate educated people. Unfortunately your ignorant views give you away rather easily. It doesn't even matter if you post annoymously it's plain who you are.
Discrimination against people because of their race, creed, religion or sexual preference is just plain passe nowadays. People much greater than a cliched worm like you were and are gay. Alan Turing for instance, the founder of modern computing, Artificial Intelligence and cryptography- A man that pioneered the field. Or perhaps Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest and most admired Presidents who held the Union together and abolished slavery (to verify this, read his diaries and letters). Also Leonardo DaVinci, the artist and inventor who invented things that you yourself enjoy every single day.
Bigots like your good self oppose homosexuals for one of two reasons: 1 - you are one youself but fear your urges. There's been a great deal of sociological writing on this issue. Or 2- You belong to a group that benefits from the persecution of minorities. fundmaentalist Christians, Neo-Nazis, KKK members etc. They all have this in common, in that they define themselves by who they persecute. Of course, a great deal of these types also fall into the first category. Of course they conviniently forget that Jesus was a Jew, and that Paul the Apostle was gay.
You do indeed care what homosexuals do in their bedroom, as you're intent on slandering them. Homosexuals are entitled to the same privelleges and rights as anyone else is. whether you like it or not, your antequated bigotry really doesn't belong on an intellectual newsgroup for Nerds. Something you obviously pathetically aspire to.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." - Ring any bells? No, I thought not.
So next time you're using your computer that a GAY pioneered, or driving a car that yet another GAY invented, or living in the UNITED states of America, don't forget to thank the Gay men that made it all possible for you.
Hey On Lawn, this is completely OT, but I was just wondering how I can contribute to subsidising homosexuals. I noticed your sig.
Should I send my cheque to you?

So by that analogy, Fox "News" would be a sad indication as to the condition of American politics.

Chandler deserves the credit for the style.

How about a Reality TV Star Trek show? You can vote who gets to wear the red shirt. They can bring Shatner back - he'd be happy to get the gig.
Or maybe an porn Trek - now that's what a lot of people have wanted for a long time.
I wouldn't go so far as to call "Mutant X" science fiction. Science Froth would probably be a better genre to classify it in.
Maybe SCO should buy it. Both companies have a similar client base and future.
None whatsoever.

When I first started playing D&D in the 80's, my Catholic school thought it was Satanic as per the hysteria and tried to discorage us from playing it.
Thanks be to my Awesome and Unholy Masters Cthulhu and Baal that this was all just hype and it blew over.

The check is in the post Mr Cash. You'll be rolling "on lawn" soon enough.
Go and buy yourself a banana daquiri and paint the town red with some young nice men.
Lord knows you closet cases need the money more than I do. No hetero male would that concerned with gay men.
