Polygraphs are generally by default assumed to be conducted under less than scientific conditions, and so typically polygraphs are not admissable in most cases. However, as I said, they can be at the discretion of the judge involved. Presumably if a judge did that erroneously or on a whim it would be grounds for an appeal.
I can't speak for Canada, Europe, or anywhere else, but in the United States, polygraphs are (sadly) admissable in most jurisdictions at the discretion of the judge. Of course, the other side can challenge the admission of a polygraph for various causes.
Yes, plasmas are cheaper than a flat-panel LCD of the same size.
However, they are NOT cheaper than a rear-projection LCD of comparable size. That's basically a regular LCD with a projection lens to make the screen appear bigger. It works great.
I've got a rear-projection Sony LCD (Grand Wega IV -- 55") and it's great a great picture. I love it. No regrets at all.
Sure, I know, we all jab a stick into someone's eye at some point or another. It happens to the best of us. But hey, don't hold that against me. Hey, what are you doing with that stick??? Get away from me!
Paraphrashing Ganhdi, "if we rely upon eye-for-an-eye justice, the whole world will end up blind."
The reason I hate that quote so much is that it makes no sense. An eye for an eye means that everyone who goes around poking eyes out will be blind. Not the whole world. Just the eye-pokers.
And to respond to a previous troll on one of my comments, no, I did not buy this account on ebay. Why on earth would anyone do something that ghey? I've been here since (almost) the beginning. Yes, I am that much of a geek.
My question is: with a digestion period that long, where do the Sarlaac's feces come out? A "hole" on the opposite side of the planet? Has anyone considered the possibility that Sarlaac feces might be considered a delicacy in some cultures?
I find the idea that Western culture is not superior to all others to be offensive and insensitive to my distinct culture and heritage. Why can't you show some respect?
And it came with my ATI brand 9800 PRO.
I just found out the HL2 coupon entitles you to a "bonus pack" of HL1, CS, and other mods like DOD. I happily installed them yesterday.
You might check the VSYNC (Vertical Sync) setting on these games.
Often VSYNC is OFF by default (because it provides higher apparent framerates) but not having VSYNC can make people sick due to the 'tearing effect.'
Turning on VSYNC generally makes the image look more stable and smooth. This might be your problem. Just a thought.
Turn on VSYNC and force your 3D apps to use a high refresh rate (75 hz if possible) -- usually you can do this in the Advanced properties of your display settings.
If you take a chapter from a novel, and then base a whole new novel around it, it is plagerizing...
Not neccesarily if you merely take the "idea" or the events from that chapter and tell them in your own words. Using extended passages from the other author without attribution is plagiarism. Retelling the same story in your own words is not.
You *do* know that when you're "talking to Jesus" you're really just talking to the representation inside your own head of what you think God/Jesus is. The truth is that even if there is an Eternal Creator, and even *if* he could hear your thoughts / prayers (he can't) then why would he give a fuck about what an insignificant ant such as yourself is going on about?
Pay off credit cards before investing, yes.
Pay off mortgages, no, not really. In general the tax advantages of mortgages outweigh the benefits of paying off early. Basically, when your mortgage is paid off, your equity (ownership) is tied up in your house. Which you can't really access unless you SELL your house. Have a reasonable mortgage you can afford and then invest the rest in stocks or funds. Hell, if your house is already paid off, get another mortgage and invest the cash in stocks! You can generally get a mortgage for about 7%, and if you're halfway awake you can get at least 10% from stocks.

Other than say, for instance, Half-Life 2 or Doom 3 on the highest detail texture settings?
You can do that. I know based on experience. As you noted, the two computers wouldn't be able to play at the same time.

Let me guess... you are a Scientologist?

If they were scientific they would wait for another eclipse, then refrain from scaring the dragon away to see if the moon came back regardless.
No, you can get out of bed first thing. Try it. You can't leave the room until you've taken the analgesic.

Yeah, with a 4 digit UID, I must be new here. Idiot.
RTFA -- they meant originally November 2004, now they are talking about Fall 2005. Idiot.
YES!!!! To all of the above!!

Actually, can you prove the earth was not created last Thursday?
Yes, Ford should be liable for their cars falling apart even if you were ignorant with regard to your choices in purchasing cars.
