How can a company provide a better value than the government when the government doesn't have to look at the accounting department and ask how much money they have left, what their revenue stream looks like, etc?
Good outcome? You mean like medicare/medicaid which are GOING TO bankrupt this country already? The same programs that have driven health care costs up due to their nature of only paying 10% of the posted price for operations/procedures so that hospitals and the like have had to jack prices up to be able to get even a slight return on procedures they perform?
What the fuck are you talking about 'war weapon' ? Anyone who can get a gun permit can own just about any gun up to and including.50caliber sniper rifles (my friend owns the barret.50 sniper (5000$) + a scope on it that cost him around 1000$)
The prospect of war between the Soviet Union and US during the cold war had the certainty of being the worst war ever, the real war to end all wars as no life would survive it on this planet, and that is what kept it from ever happening.
Boo, Fuckity, Hoo. War is SUPPOSED to be inhumane, SUPPOSED to be degrading, SUPPOSED to be horrible.
It is well that war is so terrible - otherwise we would grow too fond of it.
Robert E. Lee, Statement at the Battle of Fredericksburg (13th December 1862)
US-Confederate general (1807 - 1870)
All the people crying OMG WE HAVE INTERNATIONAL LAWS AGAINST DOING THIS AND THIS AND THIS are the kind of people who don't understand this fact. The more horrible war is, the less likely it will happen. The population of the west today just doesn't get that war is ugly, they've pacified themselves culturally to believe that war is NOT the ugly horrible thing it always was, and always will be, and seem to think that OMG A CIVILIAN DIED THIS IS AN OUTRAGEEEEEEEEEEEE is how you should respond to finding out 20 enemy fighters died...but 1 civilian did as well cause the enemy was hiding in a family's house. I don't really care that I'll get modded as flamebait/troll because this is the fact of life in western society. They've been pussified since WW2 and can't handle a real war. God forbid the chinese or russians ever decide to have a real war with another country, the citizenry of the west will collectively shit their pants and break down into tears at the 'atrocities' they'll hear about that happen in what a real war should/does look like.
I've read the background. It literally shows that they would get into fights, with their 12 year old daughter, because she'd go on the computer after being told she couldn't...time after time after time. They REFUSED to be parents and simply stood back as she did whatever the fuck she wanted.
Over the internet, never met in person, the girls parents knew EVERY STEP OF THE WAY WHAT WAS GOING ON IN ITS ENTIRETY, yet noone wants to blame the parents? This is a CLASSIC case of what every slashdotter talks about where the parent's don't have to take any responsibility for their children. Read about the case, the girl's parents knew she was in a terrible place emotionally cause of this internet boyfriend she had, 'but she still went on the computer even though we would tell her not to' is their excuse for why she was allowed to continue.
So if I tell someone only to go kill themself or the world would be better off without them, which I and many others do online as well as off, I should go to jail if that person actually does it? That's absurd.
What exactly works about the canadian health system when my friend was in a 60+ (believe it was 65 to 70)mph accident on his motorcycle and it took 6 months of waiting in a line to get MRI's of neck and skull?
It's probably different as the Japanese are the most hardcore racists on the planet. It's not talking shit, look at their population makeup in Japan as well as just in general their history. As another poster said 99%+ are of fully Japanese ancestry. You can't maintain a ratio like that unless your country is a shithole and noone wants to go there, which japan certainly is not.
That's the worst analogy I've ever seen. Ebayers pay rl cash mostly for the time spent on someone procuring ingame currency or character levels/stats, just the same as someone pays a mechanic for his time & knowledge to work on their car.
How exactly do ebayers/goldsellers affect you? I played Asheron's Call on the Darktide PVP server, and ebayers never affected me negatively in the slightest, they were actually a great thing to have cause they were so easy to kill even with their maxed out accounts vs my low level character that I made shittons of free loot off them
If you've ever used a sparkler before you know how brittle the magnesium is, you can strip it with your bare hands (how i always did it) and it's flashpoint is high enough that it takes a few seconds of being at the hottest point (a bit above the flame) of a lit lighter/match for it to ignite so there's no danger of accidental lighting.
If you have the harddisk out of the shell, buy 1 package of sparklers, if it's inside it, get around 4-5 packages (the metal sticks with grayshit on them)
Strip the grayshit (magnesium normally, if its something else it probably wont work as well through the case) and crush it into a powder off of all sparklers but 1, you can strip the last one down to about an inch or so from the tip. Pile it all on the harddisk/shell, light the sparkler tip that's left, insert into the pile, and other than it appearing as though the sun is arm's length in front of you for 5-10 seconds, anything underneath shall be melted/vaporized due to the white hot heat released. I've melted through steel grills at my local beach at night this way before, around 11pm 1 package of sparklers prepared this way lit up the local beach on long island sound for about a mile in all directions as if it was daytime.
The way I understood it, and partially through shitty 3d representations, is that gravity is essentially in space/time and it's attractive affect was pretty much due to this depression/curvature. It's an extremely simplistic description/representation but isn't it possible that things are really that simple?
You point out the culture, which implies that they are culturally inclined to side with the people we are fighting, therefore we should ignore attacks launched by our enemies hiding amongst civilians who are protecting them due to a cultural kinship and that is flat out stupid. If you aid our enemy, then YOU are also our enemy, it's that simple. You don't want your neighborhood to get bombed, you don't let our enemies use it as a launchpoint for attacks or a meeting place.
How such an ignorant and shitfilled post was modded insightful I will never know. The US goes out of it's way not to kill civilians, it's not our fault the ones we are fighting are worthless piece of shit that don't deserve to live and hide behind women and children thinking we won't fire back. Simple way to reduce civilian casualties: The civilians stop ALLOWING the terrorists/enemy to hide amongst them, and they will stop dying.
Buy a package or 2 of sparklers, scrape the magnesium off onto the hardisk (encased or not, if cased maybe 2-3packages), light a sparkler and stick the end into the pile. Done.

Lets get serious now editors, this is a dupe, half the fucking articles posted nowadays are dupes, wtf?

TL:DR version:
Where the fuck were her parents?
So if I tell someone only to go kill themself or the world would be better off without them, which I and many others do online as well as off, I should go to jail if that person actually does it? That's absurd.

Or it started out at a farther out orbit and is now within a million years of destruction?

This is slashdot, who the fuck reads the article?
There's been an archive of TPB's torrents up for a LONG fucking time. Why the fuck did they put up a story of it 'just being uploaded somewhere'?

How exactly would I get a darwin award for something which is nonexplosive? Magnesium merely burns white hot until it's all gone.

Of course this type of nuclear propulsion is just made of lulz, NERVA's are the way to go.

It was also 3d and was the half life of RTS's in modability.
