    I don't get it - did you mean Libertarians, Lie-brtarians (as Doc Ruby suggested), or Liebermantarians? Or maybe Liebritainarians? Or Librarians?

    About point #4, I once had that happen multiple times on a Win98 machine, but it turned out to be a dud power supply (as if melting half its RAM and killing a video card weren't clues enough). Other than that, I've seen stuff like that happen only one other time, and that was using defrag on a machine with GoBack installed. On both instances, no error message.

    I've got my money on Christmas 2010. What do you think?

    I don't see how attempting to outshine translates to copy. If someone has a good || successful idea, it's only human nature to try to imitate it.

    The sad thing is, such mindless slashbotism such as the parent is probably going to be modded Insightful.

    A lot of RPGs had good moments during dialog. Take KOTOR, for instance. According to Wikipedia, HK-47 was supposed to be comic relief, and from my own experience there are many dialogue options that'll tick Bastila off. A good deal of situational irony as well in its sequel.

    Waitaminute - our system of naming bases is in base-ten. How the heck do we know that base-10 isn't really base-three, or base-seventeen? Why is it my head is hurting now??

    if you want to fight people take a boxing or martial arts class...

    Exactly. I have been taking Tae Kwon Do for almost four years, and my biceps and triceps are HUGE, my thigh muscles are like tree trunks, and I can find my ribs. The funny thing is, I was kinda pudgy in the beginning. If you want a healthier body, you should really consider something like this - you won't regret it.

  20. Chemistry Nazi Mk. II on 12.8 Petabytes, You Say? · · Score: 1


    Wrong. Water is not an ionic compound, so it not be called "hydrogen hydroxide" or "hydrogen oxide" or "hydroxic acid". Molecular compounds (i.e. nonmetals) are named using the numerical prefix system, so dihydrogen monoxide is correct, just as ammonia would be nitrogen trihydride, and methane would be carbon tetrahydride.

  21. Re:Mod parent up +5 It does make sense!!!!! on 12.8 Petabytes, You Say? · · Score: 1


    Close, but nobody here has mentioned that the ions are called hydrox ide .

    Also, alcohols do not release protons, they merely come near a water molecule whose negative dipole from the oxygen pulls the hydrogen away through hydrogen bonding, forming (in ethanol's case) an acetate ion and a hydronium ion.

    Such a mess-up with releasing vs. reacting on your part is completely unacceptable. Please visit the restrooms (down the hall, third door on your right) and flush your geek license down one of the urinals before you leave today.

    Okay, then it was named X-2 rather than XIII, or XIV now if you want to be so technical. But I should hope everyone got the general idea the first time.

    That's why it was X-2 rather than XI. It actually was a sequel. I think spun is trying to say a change in Roman numeral does not imply a sequel with FF.
