*shrugs* The money is the only thing that gives Israel a reason to listen to the US. Do you really think they would have put up with the terrorist bullshit from the territories and Lebanon otherwise? We're paying weregild for Israels dead, pure and simple.
The only reason they even got in trouble was because they started to delete the actual forum logs and such after the trial had started. At that point they were boned, seeing as it was a civil case and pretty much all the time destruction of evidence = guilt in such cases.
Eh, the problem is that the way they attempted to make the movie anti-war and anti-gun was fucking stupid. Yes, you occasionally get illegal arms deals(although not that often with US arms since they tend to be quite expensive compared to soviet/china crap and without adequate training the difference between a bunch of M-16s and a bunch of AK-47s is negligible. No, I take that back, the M-16 is more finicky and harder to keep in working order). No, you don't give people arms in boxes with the fucking LOT NUMBERS on the side. Not to mention the fact that the reason Stane was doing this was to make money, but there's no way the pissant little warlord in the movie would have been able to afford one Jericho missle. A tomahawk, which at this point is old tech, costs about a mil and a half. A single one of those missles in the movie would easily go for over 10. Yet for some reason Stane, after the idiots have failed utterly, gives them anywhere from 4-6 at the minimum.
Given that Marvel set up an in-house studio for any more of their movies directly because of what hollywood did to S3 and X3, Iron man can't really be considered hollywood in any real respect.
He's playing with pre-pubescents. Unless they have suddenly gained the ability to follow complex plots and have advanced reasoning skills, their interest is going to be limited.
Um, sounds like exactly what would happen if you sent a 3.5 ed 3rd level party against an EL 5-7(depending on optimization and luck) encounter. In 3.5 an equal CR encounter was meant to use around 25% of a parties resources and you were supposed to have four a day(when you were having encounters). Since there is relatively little need for conservation of abilities for casters in the new edition, it's obvious they upped the challenge of an equal CR encounter to compensate.
If you can do this when not threatening the monster in question, then it's fucking aggro, just not run by an AI. Especially if you don't take penalties from other attackers while concentrating on the one.
Not since the MIC came out(healing belt and Rod/Orb of Physical/Mental Restoration FTW), and even before then a sorc or face rogue with maxed out UMD could stand in for the cleric and only sacrifice a bit of healing ability for quite a bit of lower level offensive ability(and high level unless the cleric was properly optimized). Not to mention the whole druid route.
Um, firstly, what character sheets were you using? The base ones? Cause those pretty much suck. Secondly, when making characters, skill points totals and ability mods go last, especially when making high level characters. Thirdly, why the hell did you giver her a +1 weapon at 15th level? There's also the question of why you even would go the enlarge person route, given that unless you're running certain tripping builds or a build using stand still or thicket of blades you're only getting 1 AC and reach out of it, which is of limited utility. Not to mention I doubt your DM would mind if you asked to take average HP(before you rolled). The only one's that do tend to be Killer DMs anyway. As for your wizard, if you didn't want the bookkeeping you could have easily gone sorcerer, and while not being as powerful as a wizard would have been, could still have killed your fiance's character in 3 rounds of combat. Wizards, artificer's, archivists, clerics, and druids are for those who really like bookkeeping and strategy. If you don't, then you shouldn't play one.
*sighs* It's quite simple. The contract for 4th ed 3rd party licensing forbids the further making of 3rd ed OGL products. If a company continues to do so, they would be in breach of contract and Hasbro could sue the pants off them. It's not illegal in any criminal sense, no. Of course, if they would just spin off a separate company and have that company(still primarily owned by the original) create 4th ed products, it would probably get around this mess entirely. Hell, they could just cut their employees salaries in half and sign them up in the new company as well, thereby solving the entire issue and making WOTC, and by implication Hasbro, look like morons. Which they are.
If we didn't assist Israel, they(rightly) would feel they had no reason to listen to us in matters of policy. If they didn't feel they had to listen to us about policy, do you really think that WB and Gaza would still exist as separate polities?
Unless you're in an open state of war with said country, which technically speaking the US was, and said country readily breaks the cease-fire, thinking that there's no way in hell you'd end up retaliating. Admittedly, the actual reasons for the invasion were different, but the fact remains that the US and Iraq were still in a state of war.
Eh, that was most certainly a mistranslation. The proper text means something along the lines of malconvokers. Yes, it's in the female form but it's also plural, which tends to include both sexes. So, basically, thou shalt not suffer a practicer of evil magics to live. Of course, by presupposing the presence of evil magics(which is not the same thing as assuming all magic is automatically evil), one also presupposes the presence of good magic.
Because outright ignoring the fact that most current social programs are fiscally insoluble barring several miracles in the way money works, expansion of the populace, and cost to output ratio is somehow a properly complex ruleset. Admittedly, big L libertarians tend to be nuts, but most techies wouldn't qualify.
Eh, Paul's either an outright racist or so inattentive as to allow an underling to publish racist material under HIS name in HIS newsletter for years. The second being a worse quality in a president than the first to be honest, although the first is certainly political suicide if you're white. Apparently not if you're black however. Not to mention that the gold standard is nothing but a highly inefficient way of forcing transparency on the Treasury. Then there's the fact that from a reformation perspective he's much more useful in Congress than in the executive branch.
Supreme Commander takes longer. And there's some install time for all the consoles if you don't have an internet connection. Every new Wii game I've bought has had a firmware update.
That's not really consumer lock in, that's, "those open source boys haven't put together a really good unified API yet, and DX is raring to go. Lets go with DX. If someone put together an open source version of DX for linux, it's pretty definite that more game programmers would use it.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, in D/D2, you were able to ran away a lot more and the levels were much bigger. Not to mention it didn't take itself nearly as seriously.
Wow, 2 years of the debt accumulated from SocSec/MediCare. BFD.

Doom, quake, and occasionally HL, BG, BGII, Planescape:torment, Fallout 1&2, Strife, Total Annihilation and Starcraft. So 10
It's definitely better than the original fruit roll-up suit.

Thus proving that you don't know anything about SS. There is no fund. By law, the government cannot hold money in trust or invest it.

Most of it almost certainly went towards their new online gaming system coding and design and the expanded push for peripheral(like minis) use.

Except it's not criminal to then use the 1st amendment, just a breach of contract.
