Really, what's the point of curing old age, and all the diseases known to mankind, if you have to live in Little Kim's dictatorship. Please don't insult Lil Kim
The rule is you need an odd number of monitors in each direction, so 3x3 should also be fine. Agreed, anything past 3 monitors per person is just fucking ridiculous.
If you are in a state that allows firing missiles, then where the missile lands is of no consequence... If you can find a state to stand in where firing guns at people is legal, then according to Kolakowski, you're home free.
Exactly what crimes can you commit online via facebook? The only one I can think of is a trojan app, but methinks the first thing a trojan would do is disable the panic button!
Depends on what you mean by "outcompete". By mass, there are a lot more termites on the planet than people, and they have almost as much effect on their environment as we do. Species such as cockroaches, rats, even cats and dogs that have learned to cooperate with people seem to be doing just fine to. Even white tailed deer seem to be at historically high populations since we've eliminated their predators and we actively feed them. When you're competing with a diabolical predator such as man, being "cute" does have it's advantages...
All I'm sayin' is "unfitness" in an environment that has been massively changed by Man in a short period of time doesn't mean that a species should be written off as a failure. Evolutionary change takes time. Deer with reflective stripes so cars don't hit them don't evolve overnight!
Sure, their reduction in number couldn't possibly have anything to do with the vast reduction in habitat caused by human activity! And their lack of hetero sex drive couldn't possibly be due to stresses caused by overcrowding and human activity, so siree! Just because pandas survived for millions of years before humans became so numerous in their vicinity doesn't imply any causal relationship between their precipitous decline and the corresponding rise in human population, it is obviously due to the fact that they are unfit to survive and destined to fail, it's just taken a few million years for the effect to kick in.
All my characters in Gates of Andaron are female fairies. I don't know what that says about me, except that I plan to turn them over to my daughter when they get to a high enough level. She actually has FUN playing games, rather then being results-oriented like I am. When her imp in WoW told her "Give me a break!" she took him swimming, because "he needed a break." I have however had to ban her from social games like IMVU or Second Life -- she was picking up too many boys. Remember: that "hot chick" avatar might not be an old fat guy, it might actually be a 9 year old girl... you don't want to meet either IRL.
All this discussion just reminds me that video games would be perfect for people stuck in hospitals recovering. They are depressed, don't have anything to do, and would actually benefit from something to get their mind off real life for a few hours. But yes, having a life, family, and job seems incompatible with being a top-ranked gamer, which is why I can't sympathize with those that want to be the best at a game -- at the end of the day, what have you gained?
At the beginning of every encounter with law enforcement, clearly utter the simple phrase "You are being recorded." (Regardless of whether or not you actually have a recording device.) If they continue the encounter, they are obviously consenting to being recorded, and you are obviously not in violation of any wiretap laws.
It would be interesting to see if these states slap the same penalties on someone for making a "nannycam" video of their babysitter and catching them abusing their child -- obviously the babysitter has an expectation of privacy when they are in someone's home slapping an infant around!
And yet when I complained the school district was illegally audio and video taping my daughter on the bus without our knowledge or consent, their response was "Oh no, that's perfectly legal -- everybody does it!"
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of furries suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Sadly, this miracle whitener arrived too late for Michael Jackson.

Isn't it nice that every phone company charges you a couple bucks extra every month for the privilege of NOT having your number listed?
Your chat-bot could backfire when it says "yes" in the wrong place and signs you up for some new service.

Really?
Try pissing off a Chimpanzee or a Baboon sometime, if you want to see what a real "propensity to violence" looks like!
If their first contact was with my wife, they would rightly conclude that we do indeed have nothing interesting to say!

Especially if they are sitting on top of "exploitable resources".

Man, don't you hate it when you get p0wned by someone in PvP, then they later tell you, "Oh, by the way... I'm 2 years old!"

an hour if you want to do a random daily and get the extra badgers. Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!
The same way they STILL issue tickets from airplanes... by timing a car between two marked points.
Without Zappa's inspirational lyrics, titties and beer would be nowhere near as popular as they now are!
Shouldn't the family that recorded this be facing the very same charges as someone who records police?

Anything else isn't human, doesn't have human rights. Unless, of course, it legally registers as a corporation.

But human-machine hybrids are still perfectly legal, right? Otherwise I'm going to have to give up my corrective lenses...
