No full respecs -- As a new player with no idea on how different skills work I find the 1300+ point skill tree extremely daunting...
There's a skill tree build tester on the GG site. I lets you test combinations to make sure you get the various stats you need. Doesn't let you demo play, but it does help. My advice? Don't spread your skill points too thin. Concentrate on a few key elements that reflect your character's strengths, and how you like to play.
There's a show on telly that follows the Aussie cops performing alcohol/other-drug screening. I'm not sure what state it's filmed in, but they do tongue-swipe saliva tests. There seems to be a few truck drivers on speed/meth. I always thought that was a cliché. I don't know if that's occupational, or social class thing.
Naturally, the usual reality TV BS disclaimer applies to my comments...
NZ is trialling random tongue-swipe testing in some areas.
What would have to happened to a gasoline powered car if a "rusty three-pronged trailer hitch that was sticking up with the ball up in the air" had punctured the gas tank? Or possibly worse, a diesel tank. Nothing like going around a bend on a motorcycle and hitting a patch of diesel to make your day interesting.
There's a difference between not sinking when struck by an object and being perfectly invulnerable to everything.
I dare say if the Phalanx CWS or anti-aircraft missile systems were active, that drone would have been turned into metal confetti long before it got anywhere near the ship.
Fair enough, child abuse is universally against the law....
Yeah, you might want to rethink that view.
"14 million girls under the age of 18 marry each year.
That’s around
1,166,666 a month
269230 a week
38,461 a day
27 every minute
Or, around one girl every two seconds.
One in every five girls in the developing world is married by the age of 18. One in nine marries before they reach the age of 15. In countries like Niger, Chad, Mali, Bangladesh, Guinea and the Central African Republic (CAR), the rate of early and forced marriage is 60 per cent and over. Child brides are particularly prevalent in South Asia (46 per cent) and in sub-Saharan Africa (38 per cent).
Countries with the highest rates of early and forced marriage in Europe include Georgia (17 per cent), Turkey (14 per cent) and Ukraine (10 per cent). At least 10 per cent of adolescents marry before the age of 18 in Britain and France."
You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them, until they reached their limit and shut down.
If only it were that simple. Even if you choose not to share any information, your friends can tag you in photos, letting Big Brother know you were in a certain place at a certain time with certain people.
Sounds like a matter of perception. Linus yells at the people high up in the hierarchy because they are experienced and shouldn't be making dumb mistakes.
As AC has illustrated, perception is important.
And the expectation of people knowing better is no excuse for acting like a raging asshole.
"The two models--4.7-inches and 5.5-inches-- would be Apple largest iPhones"
They are both the largest? It's like Highlander - there can be only one. I see he wrote "Apple", singular, so maybe samzenpus' brain secretly knew this.
You do see the occasional call-to-arms when slashdotters feel outraged by the latest Snowden NSA reveal. Hell, I've made a few when feeling particularly keyboard-warriorish.
I wonder if the NSA takes interest in this site because of those?
The difference here is that the Tesla's didn't crash, they ran over something.
"This was a significant accident where the car was travelling at such a high speed that it smashed through a concrete wall and then hit a large tree, yet the driver walked away from the car with no permanent injury.”

The problem with certifications is that they date so quickly as versions and products come and go.
Understanding fundamentals helps you pick up anything new.

Muffled cries of "I'm not dead yet"?
His general point still stands.

Why did this get modded into oblivion? I thought it was common knowledge that this sort of BS was going on in New York? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Schoolcraft

Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow.
Do not trust certificate authorities. Period. The end. No debate, no bullshit, no anti-government or pro-government or any politics.

Indeed.

The poster tagline is ridiculous. "This is not a game". WTF, I thought that was supposed to be the big plot twist?
It's negligible. That's a fact, not friction.
