I kind of think that following all the driving laws would more or less defeat the purpose of buying this particular car. Especially with a base price of aprox $440,000.
Meh. I feared the class changes for my hunter, but now after a couple of days of playing, not so much. It's been simplified a bit, but not that badly, and the trait trees have their own qualities to recommend them.
The Baen free library offers a tiny percentage of very old titles that they hope will lead to further purchases of the author in question. as a source for reading material, it's vastly overrated.
The compression artifacts are terribly annoying. I'll spring for Blu-ray for anything that I particularly like that's visually impressive. There's a vast difference.
No problem. Few people watched it the way he DID do it. well, at least when it was in theaters. Since it's been on cable for a hundred years now, I expect most people have seen at least part of it at least once.
Well...except for that part about military service not being the only way to satisfy your service requirement. But why let the actual book get in the way of your rant?
You have to understand your subject matter to be able to satirize it effectively. Verhoeven clearly did NOT. which isn't surprising considering that he bragged about having not read it.
Marlborough is really stretching the definition of 'in the Boston area' pretty far in terms of this argument. Yes, it's in Massachusetts. Arguably, it's even in eastern Mass, although an argument could be made that it's in central. Closer to Worcester than Boston.
It's already been stipulated that fios is in many of the suburban towns/surrounding/ Boston.

I'm pretty sure we can all see who the selfish asshole is here just fine.
Because the free market system would totally fucking solve that pesky road problem.
No doubt to head to that Libertarian paradise, Somalia.
What does that have to do with Charlie Stross?
Clearly you know very little about Stross.
Since it was posted yesterday, how did you manage to read it days ago?
Or all three.

WTF does this have to do with KlearGear or the article? Are you suffering from some strange form of Tourette's?

Hmm. Not the B&N near here (suburbs of Boston).

Yeah, boy howdy, that movie Showgirls was one big piece of subtle from beginning to end!
That's ok. Neither did Verhoeven.
SST? Garbage. Tank Girl? Awesome!
How is that any different from SST? Silly plot? check. Weak acting? Double check. Excellent CGI? Check. done and done.

You should probably, you know, actually read the book before making incorrect statements about it. Or at least read the rest of the thrread.

Verhoeven and subtle do not go together in the same sentence. In fact, the don't go together in the same paragraph.
Yes. Gathering in a circle to all fire inward. Sorry, a piece of shit is a piece of shit. Don't polish the turd and tell me it's gold.
Sorry, you're quite right. I was being obtuse, although not deliberately so. I missed the first sentence.
