"Why on earth would anybody want to prosecute me for ripping my cds to play on my mp3 player or to listen to while I'm at work, or for burning my mp3s so I can listen to them in the car..."
To make money because they refuse to update their business model?
I think they knew of it, just decided it would hurt National Security if they told the people about it. Or whatever the government says is at stake to with hold information from people.
You're right. $60 for episodes 1-3, plus the $50 (or was it 70?) that you paid for Half-Life 2. I mostly play RPGs, so a 12 hour game is extremely short. That's why it's only one game.
Right, and I wouldn't say a single word the entire time I was off saving the planet. Or destroying it. Or whatever you are doing to the planet. A graduate of MIT never speaks a word, yet he survived the Black Mesa Incident, killed an alien leader, and escaped the Combine? Riiight. Having him speak sure would break the 'character-as-player' feeling.
So many games have the main character speak and it doesn't ruin a thing. Gives them some personality.
The thing is that I DID talk to everyone, I looked at the posters, I listened to Dr. Breen (who looks like Sean Connery), and all that stuff. Still didn't seem like much. I suppose I was expecting another Half-Life.
The whole thing was just "rescue this scientist" "And now this one" and then "Go here." It honestly felt like it was just some quickly thought up story to allow players to play with the gravity gun.
My favorite way to kill 'em is drown 'em. Doesn't happen often, but it sure is satisfying!
I usually go for the "eat them" or "Kill 'em with Stormbringer enough times so I can 1 Hit-KO them with a scalpel" routes, since water isn't common (thankfully).

Dipping a sword into a !oSickness won't do much. Certaintly won't poison the weapon. Consumable thrown weapons can be poisoned though. That excludes Daggers.
I can't seem to remember any offensives against science by the liberals (note the non-capitalization). I mean there is Rousseau with his whole 'science is bad for humanity' thing, but I can't think of many other examples. Care to enlighten me?
"A claim which utilizes more dubious models, and political agenda than any real science." Not true. Look up eugenics.
Al Gore has a movie out? I was not aware of this. If what you say is true (I wouldn't doubt it, he's a pol), at the very least his lies, half truths, manipulations, and made up figures wouldn't have gotten any one killed.
"So, I can certainly lampoon a moron like Gore who subverts real science to promote his nutty envirowacko agenda." Sure. Go ahead. I'd actually like to see that one. Political cartoons are usually funny, if they aren't soul-crushingly depressing.
I'm not sure what your stance on global warming is (Doesn't exsist or no human impact), but global warming IS happening; anyone who states otherwise is an ignorant fool. The question is whether humans are the cause of it.
What you don't see the Democrats doing though is editing official scientific reports for their own agenda. You also don't see them purporting greener energy sources and then giving vastly more money to Oil companies.

Well, I had actually meant can you name a few companies that've sued themselves, but that reply was very interesting to read.
Can you name a few of those companies?

I do believe that Nobel is remembered for his Prizes, rather than his dynamite.
Admit it, you just want more time to get First Posts on /.
Wife? hah!
I've never heard of a M$. Whatever it is, I'm sure that it is wondering why you hate the English language so much.
Not spying on their own citizens would also make less false-positives happen.
I'd rather have the government regulate businesses. Atleast they have an interest in the people.
You also can't really overthrow large multinational corporations as easily.
So what's so special about it?

They also seem to be focusing on making you spend over $100 on a single game.
Wait, DM and girlfriend? I thought a requirement of being a DM was no girlfriend...

Am I the only one who thought that Half-Life 2's story was very bad?

I've ascended a couple times, I know ;) I got NetHack mixed up w/ another Roguelike and thought Titans were T.

Honest mistake.
However, I do think "@ versus %" is very apt, since in the beginning you WILL die from starvation. More so if you play Wizards with 18 int
No. That is a very apt title.

Care to explain that last sentence?

When the Republicans (not necessarily the Right) try their hardest to subvert science, then I would expect scientists to lampoon them.
Why bring up Windows at all?
It's just a red herring.
