I mean no offense; your comma usage is really the only thing wrong with your posts. But it's very very wrong, and I agree that it's a little distracting. They don't just hang out where there's a pause in conversation or thought!
Sure, if the practice was actually productive. If you were doing busywork for some prof, though, then no (except in that it allows you to get a piece of paper saying you're safe to hire).
In Ogre Battle 64, there was a bug which would allow you to underflow items and get 255 of them. The game used only 2 characters to display your inventory, so it would look like the character had 55 of the item. By purchasing, you could only get up to 99. Are there any other examples of underflow like this, instead of overflow?
The Unabomber wasn't attacking "America," rather, his gripe was against a certain set of ideologies, and he attempted to blow up major proponents of those ideologies. He did not inspire the creation of the TSA. Neither did the fellow in Bath. And yes, the violence does tend to be sectarian: what motivates those sects? There's nothing in the Koran about destroying America, but there is something about the sanctity of holy places, where we have bases.
Not treating paying customers like criminals and removing the reasons the American government gives other peoples to hate us? Nobody's going to attack you if they like you, right?
Okay, so they do look the same. I'm not so sure that means people are looking directly to Blade Runner. There's mention of 'Alien,' too, and while I love that movie, I think some of the later aliens might owe a little to HP Lovecraft. Similarly, it could be that Blade Runner and the games supposedly inspired by it happened to draw inspiration from the same source, and it might not be too far off the mark to say that source was, perhaps, William Gibson or Philip K. Dick.
I first read about this in my Astronomy textbook in high school. The idea is that the spiral arms of galaxies happen the same way, except that instead of braking, we have gravitational attraction between stars. Stars in the arms are stuck in traffic jams; stars between arms are the lucky few who aren't.
Ah, my friend, you should pay more attention. It's not that he supports making abortion illegal across the board, it's that he believes it ought to be decided on a per-state basis. Indeed, this might be best for the "fetuses aren't human" side of the argument: if your legality is federal, then the feds (under a government run, for instance, by a former baptist minister) could make a sweeping decision that it's illegal. In fact, Ron Paul voted against a bill which would have forbidden minors from crossing state lines to get abortions without parental consent. This earned him no friends in pro-unwanted-life circles. The point is this: he votes in accordance with an accurate interpretation of the law, not according to what is popular.
So what? A big rock from space could fall on you while you sleep, and nobody could do anything about it. Every web page I've ever developed could be erased; every person whose internet I've fixed could move away and get a new ISP and tech guy, and then I could have a heart attack, right? What's more, it could be (gasp) someone's fault. It changes none of my behavior, and it changes none of yours, other than the fear you're wasting time on.
What's wrong with that? As long as no one can tell the difference, we might as well go on living as we have. How much would it influence your actions to know that you were a simulation within a simulation? Everything still happens the same way.
My girlfriend is the same way: once in a while, she'll say "no one cares," at a table full of people who are talking about politics, science, math, or computing. When I ask her later, her answer is always the same: she doesn't know about that stuff, so even though she's smart, she feels dumb. The thing to do is definitely talk to her about things she knows.
You can tell species membership from other clues, I suppose (smell and sound are reasonably specific). How would you use the other clues, though, to determine suitability of a mate? Symmetry is the best way, right?

Right now seems like the perfect time to get yourselves a new platform, preferably something easy to maintain.

It certainly requires an educated populace, which I'd argue has been largely done away with.
In a truly libertarian system, they wouldn't dare do that, because then nobody would use their services; furthermore, they'd be afraid of retaliation.
I'm not a fan of Bush. You've made ad hominem attacks against someone I already despise. Now, defend Clinton.
Indeed. I'm tired of hearing about how Clinton made the economy work so well. Can anyone tell me exactly what he did?
Good, giving, and game? Where's 'girl' in that, man?

That depends if your proofs are correct, and if the theorems had already been proven.

I'm nominating Shub-Niggurath, and this means I assert that the monster is female.

I'm thinking if you and yours weren't spending money to bomb people you've got nothing against, then y'all could fund the research yourselves.
So it's alright for the federal government to make a sweeping law which affects everyone, as long as it's your law?

So does Paul get your support, too? (Kucinich is my other favorite, of course).
The religious part of me wants to argue that It = God, and you make it 'laugh' by obeying....
