...leave it to a German to take one person and blame a mass of people for that one person's faults.
counter-strike and Far cry 2 aren't animate objects. they can't load a clip for you. they can't cock the hammer and pull the trigger. Run a search for violence statistics on google and you'll see that since the creation of violent video games, world-wide violent crimes have gone down, not up.
The fact that pixar was seperate from disney was the only thing keeping it alive. Selling it to disney would force pixar to produce worthless movies like "Chicken Little."
I made the mistake of actually watching the movie, and i would like to point out that there are good reasons for the negative reviews. For starters, a plot that lacks the ability to make sense from mone moment to another is not "complicated." It just sucks. If you read the reviews that showed this movie in a positive light, you'll ind that the majority are adolescents that justify all of the rest of the movie's shortcomings with the simple phrase "but she's hot, so it's ok."
The public should recieve a formal apology from the director, producers, and writers of AeonFlux for releasing something so horribly done.
Ok, i know this will only come out sounding crazy, but at what point should we say, "I've had it with this government" and begin a revolt? I swear, i've heard so many stupid things happening in the last three months involving skewed laws coming through, or rediculous rulings by the judges, or sheer incompitance in the executive branch. I've freaking had it. someone needs to step up and say, "you are not obeying the will of the people. you are corrupt and unjust. You must be removed at all costs."
I for one am saying that. And once more, regardless of what anyone thinks, i'm actually going to do something about this.
There was something about this a few months ago on the History channel. I believe it was called "Ape to Man." I highly suggest trying to find and watch it. It was pretty entertaining.
Yuo could always try to make something that's likely to bring you some money in the long run. My senior project involves the creation and use of a particle-based defensive weapon (no, i'm not making this up). Im also currently working on getting a patent to this, so i apologize for leaving this vague. But so far, the research has allowed me to write a 60page paper on the technology as well as test data.
Try it, then you won't be forced to end up like some of these other guys, complaining about their jobs.
Actually...if you charge the ship's hull sufficiently, then the ships's movement will generate a magnetic field (as long as it's accellerating). this actually might be possible depending if NASA intends to accellerate half way there, then decellerate the rest of the way.
so...in essance, you could generate a magnetic shield similar to that of earth's
if IE can't keep up with the rest of the browsers, then it should stop trying. I mean, if you can't maintain and be compliant with the standards, then why even try? you're upsetting a lot of people, and wasting a lot of time and money. Either catch up, or give up.
Wait...why don't the people from slashdot band together and create the first open source space program?
Most of the people who read and participate are highly qualified professionals. And there must be at least a hundred million viewers. If everyone donated a few dollars to a community fund, and had our top engineers, programmers, scientists, and whatnot all working together, i'm sure that we'd actually be able to rival NASA for the supremacy of space.
think about it, we'd be able to have many people reviewing our plans almost constantly, looking for errors in design plans, code, and even economic ideas. We'd be able to find the cheapest and most available materials. Most of the world's top people are already right here.
for example, if everyone donated just $5 and there are even 50 million people helping out, thats 250 million dollars to use to create a space program thats active 24/7.
Screw the beaurocrats! Launch it yourself. it takes about 7 minutes to reach the ionosphere. Even if the US air force could scrample jets in that time to take you out, you're out of the range of their missiles. Or if you don't believe that, then the GIANT PLUME OF FIRE thats behind your rocket will confuse any heat-seeker and you'll most likely not get hit.
You think the government is going to arrest you for actually making orbit? You'd be the biggest publicity stunt since actually landing on the moon.
We shouldn't have to pay fees and get permission to go to space. It's slowing down progress, and for what? some sort of orbital scare? if someone was going to spend that much to get into space, they're not going to do anything that would jeopardize their investment.
"First!"
You know those guys were clamoring to be the first one on mars...if i were there, i would have torn everyone else's space suit just to delay them long enough to get out and make "one small step"
Nasa is by it's very nature too afraid to move on anything this quickly. To date, they've been too concerned with the possible loss of human life. if you look through history, america has made great progress riding on the corpses of great men who gaves their lives to the progress of success. Nasa should follow in these footsteps and begin launching rockets more often, with more emphasis on getting to the moon and staying there.
Yes, i know i'm ripping on them, and they have done a lot. But oh well.
one of my favorite and most effective tricks was to find the anti-aircraft tank in DC and then park it on the side of a hill. that allowed me to aim low enough to take out infantry with it. it was always 100% effective. i highly reccomend this if you're getting frustrated with the.50 cal or the 120mm tank rounds.
Besides....why are you trying to take out troops with a tank gun? it's overkill...use those rounds on other vehicles
really? i sniped all the time and i was usually never found in bf1942. the trick to a good sniping post is one where no one can see you, not even the dead
i noticed that the choppers are easier to fly. That's really too bad, i thought it was a good idea to require a fair amount of skill to use the choppers, it usually made things more interesting.
i seem to remember that there was an article up about a year ago regarding directional sound using hyper-sonic waves. the waves traveled almost totally straight and cancelled each other out to form a beat that was audible as sound to us. Why not slap a couple of those puppies on this LCD and you now have directional sound and image? if someone could do this...they'd probably make a lot of money.
class size has nothing to do with it. if the teacher is good enough at their job, then they can teach any class size. look at college classes; they're up to 500 people. i know that they're not the same. but focus on the professionalism between professors and high school teachers. there's too big of a margin.

Who could i kidnapp that has that much money available for ransom?

i'd buy one and i'm an intel guy
So, what could a book say that is already not available online?"
Nothing, you have to read it.
Sorry, i just had to...
i need that extra 6% when i'm making long-distance 1-900-number calls...
did anyone notice that if you zoom in all the way...it's a picture of cheese?

i'm sorry...what's your point? all i got from that was "i'm an un-employed hippie."
less bitching...more working!
