    Heh. yep. The wiring in my house changes colors no less than 4 different times. Made for changing the outlets around pretty interesting.

    Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. Ectoplasm evaporates. I think you were doing something else with you USB ports.

    Sooo hopeychangey isn't considered maverick?

    Well, assuming the rifle was a Class III registered weapon, the police would have been perfectly within the law to go into the house. It's one of those things you give up to legally own a fully automatic weapon in the US. Thank the Democrats for that one.

    I'm assuming a bunch of boards with nails sticking out to pop the tires.

    Confederate battle flags. The Confederate flag was quite different.

    Actually, planning to block all traffic in an area is most certainly an illegal protest. Protesting is perfectly legal, effectively forcing everyone to stop and watch your antics is not.

    The only error was then instead of than. The rest of it was correct.

    It's the fed. The fed does NOTHING quickly. Why this is so fucking hard to understand amazes me. The vast majority of blame for the Katrina aftermath must fall upon Nagin and Blanco. Unless you want to give Bush the power to order the national guard into other states as he sees fit. But I would think that would twig your tin-foil hat receptors.

    Byrd's a Republican now? Shit, when did he switch parties?

    I am reminded of pretty much the entirety of string theory.

  13. Re:Form Fitting clothes on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    It should be noted that one seldom has the opportunity to to wear comfortable formfitting cold weather clothes unless one is willing to spend a lot more money to do so. Given Palin's locale, it would make sense that she seldom wears form fitting clothes.

    Um, fishy? Let's see, he's posting on a game development forum, on the exact same topic as the slashdot topic. Which is aster, to type out the EXACT SAME train of thought, or to copy past your previous post. I know it's something I've done for other subjects elsewhere, although I don't think I've ever done it on slashdot.

  15. Re:The "experience" meme on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    Actually, it indicates that he wants someone to get experience. Clearly she does not have it yet. Since McCain is probably not planning on keeling over during the first year of his presidency, this means that she will be getting that experience firsthand. No plan is without risk of course, and McCain could keel over stone dead. But if he doesn't is sets her up with plenty of experience for '12.

  16. Re:The "experience" meme on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    Not really, as Alaska has line-item veto. She's used that quite a bit. This means that she at least READS what comes across her desk. Betcha $20 that Obama has read less than 40% of the legislation he's voted for.

    Palin in 08 gives Hillary a much better chance at 12.

    Obama's popularity among blacks is as much racism as any disapproval among whites.

  20. Re:Exactly. on McCain Picks Gov. Palin As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    Actually, she never did, she simply said teach them both. Moreover, given the nature of the question, what was said was probably her own personal opinion. Now, I can understand that this may be hard for a progressive(which you may or may not be) to understand, but just because someone has an opinion, does not mean they want the government to implement that opinion.

    I like how this is flamebait, even though the actual scientific standard for creationism and various branches of psychology and sociology are the same.

    Of course, since she has libertarian tendencies, it was highly unlikely that she would have used state powers to implement such a thing in any case, but let's not let reality get in the way of our religious smears shall we?

    Ironically, the fact that the information never actually hits US-based networks makes it vastly more legal for our intelligence agencies to intercept.

    Technically speaking, Newtonian physics aren't proper science either, but we still teach them. Moreover, most teachers don't even let their students know that they're actually wrong.
