  1. Re:Suicide? on Accidental Wii Suicide · · Score: 1

    By "many" you mean, what, 3 guns?

    I can only think of three with a palm safety. The HK P7, the 1911, and the XD.

    Everybody I know who knows anything about firearms keeps them loaded and ready to go. I usually carry a loaded firearm on my person, and have several more scattered around the house.

    The people you are talking about don't know "anything about firearms," likely do not own any, and have probably never fired one.

    If you have small children in the house, you have to create alternate plans for storing your firearms, perhaps. Although when I was young I understood that touching a firearm without permission would result in my ass being beaten six ways to Sunday.

    Illegal gun?

    This isn't the fucking UK. A .380 S&W is not "illegal" except in socialist playlands like the UK, Chicago, and New York.

    Sounds more like you're spreading FUD.

    An NDA isn't some magic space-time net that prevents things from happening. They are broken all the time.

    And I'll go one better - you don't need to know much about this service to see that it will just die in horrible flames of fail. Especially when computers and video cards are cheaper and more powerful than ever.

    Yes, but of course that doesn't mean they are suitable for more than a few games.

    Flailing your arms around in order to tilt your screen is not as good as say, using a joystick or + pad.

  7. Re:Will they also release games on the iPad? on Valve Confirms Mac Versions of Steam, Valve Games · · Score: 1

    The ipad, like the iphone, is not a gaming device.

    Apple might like you to think it is, and sure, you *can* play a game on it. But it's not a gaming device.

    How the fuck would you play Half Life 2 on the fucking ipad? The mere suggestion of the ipad being a gaming device makes me want to smack you.

    Bullshit.

    Charitable foundations are a very well known trick for the super rich to avoid paying taxes. Instead they pay money to some entity they themselves control, to implement plans that they are in charge of.

    Your name calling makes you out to be the one who needs a little help. I could out you further but I think you know what's wrong with yourself, or you have the chutzpah to think it's virtue and not vice.

    There's a difference between philanthropy and asset protection and avoiding taxes.

    When you give $1 to a bum, that's philanthropy.

    When you put billions into a charitable foundation, it's a simple scheme to avoid paying taxes.

    Do you really think that MS tracks how many pirated Windows installs there are, compared with legitimate ones, and cranks up their prices accordingly? Because they don't.

    The more you guys try to ignore Climategate the bigger it will become. It has not been proved to be a hack. Using the appellation "denier" makes your whole clique appear to be childish and worthless. In fact, it's right out of the Alinsky playbook.

    If you want people to look at the climate "science" racket as being respectable and scientific, maybe the best way to do that is to be respectable and scientific. Al Gore's press secretary actually owns RealClimate, and you can verify the Hadley CRU clique (which includes lying, worthless shills of scientists from ALL OVER THE WORLD) actually controls the whole thing.

    Go ahead, grep your Climategate FOIA folder for RealClimate and see the sort of bullshit these fraudsters are peddling.

    As an American, I need to set you straight on a few things. First, it's queue the music, as in a queue ball in pool or as you call it, green ball bounce edges pocket shooting or simply snooker.

    Now we cue up in a line, or simply a Q, named after the irrepressible Star Trek character who was of course partly British in spirit. And marking edges of tape is most effectively done with India ink, which has a bit of a misnomer as it is actually produced by Native Americans.

    Finally, the word Walla is French, of course, by way of the frontiersmen who first traveled up the Columbia and started trading with the Indians. I am afraid that your word, viola, simply refers to a big violin.
