  1. Re:And yet... on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about shotput throwing, javelins etc. Hell even the racing events have their roots with chasing down prey.

    So if I were to buy a target rifle and used it for target practice, I'm not using it for it's intended purpose?

    I have problems with your line of logic. It works for handguns, carbines and such... but when it comes to rifles and shotguns it does not apply so neatly.

    Yea, but what about the whole picture? It's not like they just shrug and go back to being law abiding citizens because they have a slightly harder time getting a gun.

    I love how you say the same thing Zemran just got done saying, and you manage to get more mod points than he did.

    Seems to me it would be both easier and better to shoot fast and drop frames, than do strange shit like doubling every third frame.

    48 or 50, you could still drop frames for NTSC or PAL without doing silly shit like 2/3 pulldown.

    That was an awfully long way to say "yep, I agree."

    Bullshit numbers.

    He may have cost them that much in man-hours to clean up the mess, but he most certainly didn't cause any physical damage.

    Hmm. I think I'd rather use something else I have that would do the job nicely. Shame VLC can't load VST (or can it?)

    I've no problem getting nice flavorful / strong cheeses - usually you have to get them from the deli though. Either sliced, or they have them in wedges/wheels.

    The stuff you find in little pre-pack things is crap though.

    Honestly it was probably something like a goat.

    You're assuming those 100 workers could do that work.

    They might not (and probably aren't) able to do that work.

    It's also kind of disturbing when you consider nursing.

    Human cheese? That sounds wrong.

    We don't seem to have any livestock here that wasn't already being used elsewhere, and given that the majority of the population comes from immigrants, are you really surprised we just have cheeses from other cultures? (pun intended)

    It probably wasn't a cow. Anyways, why not? Our own offspring would have been nursing, not to mention any other mammals observed.

    Yea, some people are that stupid. Then they are lame enough to come back and bitch about their browser crashing or some other nonsense.

    I don't want to see it, and I don't want someone getting pissed at me for some insignificant reason. Seems I failed that last part.

    The only thing the early adopters did is sound amateurish. Nobody was forced to follow along.

    Lets be fair, end users did not have a means to provide feedback to those responsible.

    That is still a failing of the "market", however, so the point still stands (just not where you thought it was)
