  1. Re:Hey Libtards on BlueHippo Scam Collected $15M, Only Shipped One PC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If schools actually taught things like basic economics and proper math this wouldn't be a problem.

    Death: Humans need fantasy to *be* human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape. Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies. Susan: So we can believe the big ones? Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing. Susan: They're not the same at all. Death: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet, you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. As if there is some, some rightness in the universe, by which it may be judged. Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what's the point? Death: You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?

    There was never a class barrier except for a journalism degree. The news has always been horribly wrong in some way for any particularly in depth topic, it's just that unless people are well acquainted with said topic, they never notice and take it as gospel.

    Difference being that there is one bit of evidence that Obama could produce which would shut people up about it, which for some reason he has yet to do. Whereas the 'accusation' against Beck is entirely non-disprovable seeing as he didn't have a camera watching his moves 24/7 during the year of 1990.

    No, I think it was the one where we got a virtual unknown candidate to get within 4% of winning, even though the bitch he took out endorsed the opposing party although she was nominally running under 'republican'. If Hoffman had run an entire campaign the probability that he wouldn't have won would be slim to none.

    It is highly debatable whether ripping off Gilbert Gottfried material can be considered at all intelligent.

    Two quest givers? Is someone playing a used/downloaded version perhaps?

    mmm, not true, there are ways to get around that. I believe all you have to do is go to the AddIns.xml file in your Documents/Bioware/settings folder and change all the RequiresAuthorizations to 0.

    Our refusal to attack the Norks has jack shit to do with any WMD they may or may not have. Rather, we refuse to attack them because of the shitloads of plain old artillery they have pointed at Seoul. Unless we were to go nuclear from the very start and take out the artillery, anywhere from 2-5 million South Koreans would die before we could silence all the arty.

    Clearly the writers of star trek, along with an entire host of sci-fi authors had thought of such devices, it just took someone to put the current tech together to do so.

    Not weird at all. Perfectly logical, to anyone who believes a government should be limited in scope. Admittedly, you may not understand such a thing, but still.

    Couldn't you send a specifically patterned jamming pulse that would trigger a subroutine in the code? I would assume it would be possible at least, even if that's not what happened.
