  1. disabled caps long ago. on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Grave Robbing? on Another New Tomb in the Valley of the Kings? · · Score: 1

    Nothing but advancement of science.
    Thats why they cut up rabbits, test atomic bombs and make caged animals eat cosmetics.Mainstream science doesn't lookahead,it just ignores failure.
    And thats not surprising in the least, as civilizations contains alot of defective ideas,fucked-up traditions and self-destructive reasoning (as an eye for an eye) embedded within.

    Yeah, its just non-stop monster genocide. People just search for items and story is concerned only when they do quests or rush through them. The game consists of leveling.
    That why i don't play it anymore, plus it deletes inactive characters.
    Starcraft is way better.

  5. Re:Not the best idea on Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School · · Score: 1

    Society at large are not yet capable of understanding that homeschooling is far less harmful then any school.
    Its safe,productive,and require very little investment.
    A online education is the next step,which is essentialy homechooling with remote source.
    Its inevitable progress which present establishment(and especially teachers) will try to curb and delegitemize to preserve their jobs and massive expenses(education at schools costs millions in resources,plus the schools themself are financial burden which most don't realize:People driving their kids to school,buying lunches,dead-paper books,etc).

    Something that resembles Spider mines from Starcraft(self-cloaking,unit chasing mines,laid by vultures).Its would be frieghtening to see a batch of mines chasing and exploding at close range.

    I'll answer for him,since i deal with such 'problems" too.
    "How does an umbrella or a coat keep your trousers/shoes from being soaked?"

    trousers are covered by umbrella/raincoat.Shoes? that depends on shoes,e.g. pants inserted into nikes which been tightly closed will stop rain.I use a small synth.raincoat which fits in a pocket,when i suspect the weather go bad.

    Last time it was snowing here, my bike kept slipping up on the ice, instead I came in via car with no problems. Cyling = more hassle.

    Cycles can be fitted with special tires for better traction on snow(broad and full of those rubber spikes),if mountain bike tires aren't sufficient .I wouldn't cycle on ice on any situation.

    No, it severely limits your range of movement. And increases the time it takes. There are only 24 hours in a day and cycling can eat several of them up.

    That depends on your needs.If you need to commute 2-4 times daily its fine.Anything more is not practical.Especially when your range of movement is great(I think its likely if you're in american suburbs) and you need hours to get anywhere.
    Here i can get in 5-10 minutes anywhere in neighborhood and visit all shops here.That what cycling is good for(besides fun,but i think most slashdotters wouldn't cycle for fun).

    No, you need to get changed, check the weather, put everything in your bag. Then you need to find somewhere to chain the bike up, get changed again etc etc.

    Changed? I wear whatever i like.And chaining a bike is a minute at most( they can be chained into anything,e.g. fences,metal posts).

    Does the restaurant allow you to take off your waterproof clothes, have a shower and get changed before you eat?

    That be tricky to answer,because i never went to restaraunt in my life(waste of money/time,and there no vegan restaraunts in existence).I usually eat at home or just take something compact to chew(e.g. cashew nuts).Besides what people going to restaraunt gaining there? There crowded,noisy and the atmosphere would make you leave in second if you haven't ordered food there.

  10. Re:In a nutshell on Congress May Add Record Requirements to MySpace · · Score: 1

    They weren't terrorists,and it was an open rebellion.Get the ideas straight.
    Terrorism=Guys blow up themself while screaming 'Allah ackbar'
    Rebellion=French revolution,American war of independence,October revolution,etc
    The difference is striking,when we compare not what techniques they use but how its done.Rebellions start as popular protests,rallies and movements,while terrorism is underground movement,regarding civilians are mere
    targets,and little of support among masses.Basically a rebellion using terror isn't meaning they are terrorists.Terrorism is a method.Rebels
    blowing up bridges aren't speciliasing in terrorism,they just make tactical operations and acting as warfare plans against goverment dictate.Terrorists on other hand use
    mostly terror.

    Would George Washnigton(or more likely one of his leutenants) blow himself up in a boat filled with explosives while screaming "For america" heading to a british ship?
