[blockquote]near-nil chance of mutation[/blockquote]
If we're designing this to work inside the human body (why would we want to eradicate viruses anywhere else?) then it would need to keep from triggering our immune systems. Any mutation which leaves the invisibility aspect intact would make this a very dangerous little bug, indeed. Near-nil isn't good enough. Besides, how are you going to keep it from mutating? DNA is little and thus easy to hork around with.
Far greater than that. I know of no games where a topped out caster class could win a melee fight against a giant flaming demon.
Indeed. Gandalf always struck me as sort of deific, rather than just a high-level (or even epic-level) wizard. Magic is difficult to do believably, especially when the game has to be balanced with more than 2 sides. It can never be fun to play a game where a character can become gandalfesque in a reasonably short period of time.
So the British "intelligence" services, the same ones that said Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of WMD that could strike the UK in 45 minutes, can get a website turned off it America? The ISP just weasely pulls the plug without negotiation just because some guy with a British accent rings up?
First they invent global warming as an issue (Margaret Thatcher, of all people). Then they give us bad intel, embroiling us in an unwinnable quagmire of a war. Now they attempt to close down our only source for real information! Somebody is still upset about the events of the late 18th century.
Jones was named dean of admissions at MIT in 1997 and received MIT's highest award for administrators, the "MIT Excellence Award for Leading Change." She was also the 2006 winner of the "Gordon Y Billard Award" given "for special service of outstanding merit" performed for the school.
Several (unrelated) ways to look at this:
If she has such a meritious service record, why is her educational background important?
Wait, those awards are for people who deserve them, and education is the only way to be that good. The award system is flawed.
She only got those awards because she is a woman!
Lying is not to be tolerated, and it undoes any good she may have done.
No way. This entire story is a lie. Girls don't exist on the internet (even CNN.com)
I'm from Montana, and all I can say is: I am very, very glad that Schweitzer is governer now. Judy Martz, our previous governor(governess?) would have gone along with the REAL ID act, just to be compliant with our wise and noble leader in DC.
A few months back, someone lit one of the bulletin boards in my dorm on fire, forcing a building evacuation at 3 am as the fire-supressing sprinklers destroyed everyone's stuff and the fire department "investigated."
A cop came to the lobby of the building where we were corralled, to make sure everything stayed quiet. He had 4 extra clips on his belt. Assuming that this is a Beretta 92 9mm pistol (for argument's sake: it's popular with cops, but I have no idea what he was carrying), that works out to 75 rounds of ammunition. A Glock 29 or 30.45 caliber pistol holds 10 rounds of ammunition in each clip, which works out to 50 rounds of ammunition. Additionally, cops on our campus are now issued Tasers, even though no officer ever had a problem subduing a drunk college kid before.
The city police here are assigned specifically to the University campus; our city has no violent crime to speak of; 40 rounds of ammunition is far, far too much to be carrying around. Should a cop be able to own an ammo feeder? Not unless I can.
Is it your goal to make Christians look absurd in the eyes of Slashdot, by attempting to make everyone associate memories of you with the entire concept? Go away, troll.
Given the number of "Transparent Aluminum omg omg!" articles we've seen in the past, I'm surprised that this (which looks better than any of those before) didn't get the Star Trek treatment, too.
A sidewalk is also a lot lower than the trash cans in question. My senior year, we'd heard about a few guys from days of yore doing this (moving a car) and decided to try it. The three of us were not as strong as we'd have liked, and the car we tried to move was heavier. We managed only to move the back end around.
Funding isn't the problem with schools. The stereotypical "bad schools" in inner cities have very, very high funding compared to high-quality private (sometimes religious) schools. The best school in my state is Catholic; most of their tuition (which does not compare to taxpayer spending on public school to begin with) is siphoned off by the State Church offices, and very little goes to fund the school itself.
Probably has something to do with Americans pronouncing nonsense like "Wii," "Toyota Camry," or the fact that your original post doesn't say "evil" anywhere. (Now, that sounded a lot meaner than I meant it to be. I realize my own failings; indeed, I am chief among morons- still don't agree with your point).
My math professor is a German, as is his wife (also a prof in the department) and my German instructor is Austrian. The Germans in question pronounce Vs as some bastardization of V and F; the Austrian has almost perfect pronounciation of consonants, but not quite perfect vowels (she's a German/English translation Magistra student). I'd like to say that I speak German, but given that I'm only a second year student, that probably isn't all that true;-).
Also, I thought that you were referring to Germans speaking German, not Germans speaking English.
Indians? Maybe. Germans, faced with a v, don't turn it into a "w" phoneme, but rather an "f" phoneme. Ws are Vs, Vs are Fs, Ss are Zs, and Zs are TSs. "Zwitter" is pronounced "Tsvitter." Germans won't say "Ewiil." If you want the W sound, you have to use u-umlaut or ue.
Exactly. I have a roommate who used to play alpha centauri this way. On the tougher difficulties, he would get frustrated and quit; he could only finish the easiest level of difficulty.
I wondered this myself, learning Java. Since Java abstracts from memory and hides pointers from us, why do array indices start with 0? However, building Tetris, I became very glad of this. (Think about the position of the blocks). I'm sure there are other reasons it makes sense....
Galciv 2 certainly gets a huge vote from me, because the AI did beat the crap out of me, repeatedly. However, the AI does have the advantage of being able to accurately micromanage every planet every turn to produce the best combination of production, research, and cashflow.
I'm also very impressed with the AI in the original galactic civilizations. It does cheat at the higher levels, but up until that point (I think normal mode doesn't cheat either way) it's very impressive and it really does feel like the AI is thinking. More impressive is the fact that each major race has its own AI: not customized by arguments in the race, but specific, independent C++ code telling them what to do, written from scratch.
Doch! Die Deutsche Sprache ist sehr gut dafuer. Aber sie ist nicht immer so aergerlich wie wir denken. Als Till (Rammsteins Leitsaenger) wuerdet wie "Rrrrrrramm-stein" singen, wuerde ich wie "Rammstein" sprechen. Wenn man die "ch" laut sagt, er sagt es nicht wie "chop," sondern sehr ruhiger.

How about bioinformatics?
I assume that there is a missing decimal point in the summary, since those figures give a much larger surface area.

That's because the vast majority of our legislature is actually Libertarian and just doesn't want the stigma associanted with that.

So... if nerdy games can penetrate the sorority girl market, when can nerds start penetrating the sorority girls?

I dunno, does it look like there might be a compelling argument that exempting them from the law is in the public interest...?

Story, actually; it's not long enough to be a book by itself. Yes, it is better. Much, much, better.
