Slashdot - Where the *amount* of murdering is of far more importance than the fact of murder itself, and murder is still implied as a solution to simple greed.
Why is the peroxide one weird? The 3% solution at the drug store is commonly used for removing excess or clogged ear wax. They even have inexpensive plastic ear syringes to do it yourself. I've done it a couple times. Works like a charm.
"A Little Kings Story" looks like a cross between Pokemon and a Fairy Tale, but has very sophisticated gameplay and humor.
Ha. I was about to mention the same thing. I'm playing it now. It starts out so sweet and happy, with the world's most adorable cows, and next thing you know you're carrying out genocide against the neighboring kingdom. Good times.:-)
I like how some folks hold up MadWorld's tepid response as an example of lack of demand for "adult" games. No, MadWorld was just a clunky, repetitive borefest whose admittedly neat looking graphics turned out to be headache inducing after a short while.
Those are pretty isolated cases. Remember the media rules: they go after the loony stuff. And yes, that's not just the USA media. I have family all over Europe, so I know it's the same over there. The pro-creation side is generally aligned with the right wing, though.
Most teachers I had were pretty liberal, but students (and kids in general) tend to be rebellious, so the schools don't exactly turn out legions of the indoctrinated. That's why I laugh at folks who say the schools are trying to politically indoctrinate kids. They either never went to school or they're totally senile and don't remember.
I had a college Political Science prof who was a card carrying Marxist. On day one he said to always question authority, so I questioned him every single class.:-) He gave me an A, so I give him props for standing behind his philosophy. I promised him if he ever got into power I'd personally lead the rebellion against him. He said he'd hold me to that.;-) Good times.
Naturally, there are a few considerable limitations compared to more traditional displays,
There's also the problem of me taking a hammer to any system that tries to project something onto my godamned retina. I'm not kidding, Brother/NEC. My hammer, your fucking projector, guaranteed.
However, vaccines against the flu will never even make the smallest dent against the infection (in general).
Is it supposed to? I used to get the damned flu at least once a year until I started regular annual vaccinations. The last straw was the motherfucking Beijing flu that I caught as a healthy, regularly-exercising, eating-right 29 year old. Knocked me flat on my back for ten goddamn days. Fever went over 104.. People said they called and talked to me on the phone- I couldn't even remember that. I probably should have been hospitalized. When I was better I discovered all sorts of bizarre things I did around the house in a delirium.
Started annual shots the next season. Haven't had the flu since, not even the year they bet on the wrong flu bugs.
The value of flu shots is avoiding the lost productivity and avoiding the assraping misery the virus can bring. Not everything is about total eradication. People who criticize flu shots have mus not have ever had a bad one.
The backlash in this dippy county is against science and even just being educated (or "ed-u-ma-cated" for our readers in the evangelical belt who don't cotton to that there fancy book learnin', the Good Book excepted, of course), and it does NOT bode well for us.
I want a dual stick control like a tank. And when driving, put up a green and black wireframe representation of the road on the LCD screen just like Battlezone.
Eh, I was responding more to the "PC gaming is Nirvana with chocolate unicorns" attitude. In addition to all three current consoles, I built a gaming PC, so I sort of know the headaches there.;-)
I'm like you - I love my Microsoft Intellimice, but this new magic mouse piques my interest. It's almost like a trackpad on top of a mouse. It looks like it will take some getting used to, but it's the first Apple mouse in forever that I'm curious to try.
I'm definitely going to replace my aging G4 tower (I was waiting for the quad core) with that shiny new 27" iMac, but I think I might wander over to the Apple store near my work and play with one of those mice.
My four year old X360 died two months ago. Not a Red Ring Of Death, it went completely inert. No light at all. Swapping the power brick with a couple borrowed ones confirmed the unit failure. I had upgraded it to a 120G official MS hard drive a year ago.
I bought the arcade unit because [1] I could just plug the old hard drive into it and [2] as far as I could determine it was the model with the latest, greatest chip set that had all known issues solved. Works great.
But the cynic in me is guessing that some patent holding company greased the wheels of government
Dude, the energy companies send lobby whores- literal whores who have sex with the politicians. A state politician was recently caught on an open microphone bragging about it. This fat old bastard (married, of course) was bragging about how some lobbyist prostitute has his seed dripping out of her. The politician resigned, but talk to anyone in Sacramento, and it's not even really a secret. They bring these little skanks to all sorts of gatherings and show them off.
...bar none the home of the absolute dumbest government in Known Space.
I'm not exaggerating. You see these... creatures on the news, and you wonder how they escaped from whatever home for the mentally ill failed to contain them.
It's the inescapable end result of gerrymandering and fanatical Party loyalty. People wonder why I rail against ideology. What happens in Sacramento is prime exhibit #1.
The new one is a comedic coming of age story where the little robot boy has lots of cliche catch-phrases and in the end Dr. Tenma finally realizes the worth of his estranged robot-son.
One of the more recent animated series had Tenma eventually seeing Astro as a robotic Messiah that would eventually lead robots to complete genocide against humanity. That's the version they should have done.;-)
Was that the 2003 series? I remember one of the newer ones having really nice art design to it. One character had an ostrich robot that would follow her around like an assistant and also acted as luggage and a computer. Totally wanted one.

So when will you be starting your shooting spree? Make sure to YouTube it there, Che.

People just vote the party line, so, yes, it *is* their fault.
And intellect gives way to mindless sloganeering. Congratulations. You are part of the problem.
...to really see it in action. The state legislature approval rating was approaching single digits last I heard.
Do you think a single one of those scumbags give a gnat's fart about it?
They don't have to- not with district boundaries drawn like fractals and the vast majority of you voting the Party line.
I was kidding, but you know someone is going to try and use this for advertising.

I'm in an age group with one of the lower incidence rates, but the highest death rate amongst those that do get it. It's weird.
Would you just do a spinoff site calls "SueDot" already?
Step into the light, little mouse. What? No wait!

It is the "B" Ark [bbc.co.uk] theory of trimming the fat of society.
Can you get H1N1 from a telephone?
Yeah, that kind of stuff never happens on PCs.
