The correct analogy would be someone who has good dice control vs. someone who has sat at the table rolling the die for 20 hours a week so the game has artifically rewarded him by giving him a die with only sevens on it. No matter how good his control is he'll never beat the guy with too much time on his hands
I'm sure fighting the cyberdemons tought you that sometimes gung-ho brute force looses out to finesse and patience.
Pitting cacodemons against hellnights shows you that if two people hate you but hate eachother more there's no reason that you need to deal with either of them.
And the game as a whole teaches you to always stock up on any and all valuable supplies because you never know when shit might get rocky.
And they'd look like that whether they came out now or 30 years from now, so this whole snit about documents being reclassified hurting our children is a bunch of hullabaloo.
They'll have the documents that just got classified being declassified, much like we have a large amount of Kennedy era CIA paperwork coming into light right. Not to mention that even were this not the case, they'd still have every souce other than those government reports, which is probably the ones they'd be relying on anyway.
And I have a 3000+ in my desktop that ran for days with on only heatsink cooling because I unplugged the fan and forgot to put it back in. I didn't even notice until I started doing DVD encoding. That's why anecdotal evidence is only of limited value.
Furthermore, what the benchmarks I've seen have said is that at idle state sthe P-Ms use less power, but when they're going full out the AMDs use less, this was all before the release of the Turions so lord knows where we sit now.
I'm glad all the hunters here in Wisconsin aren't expected to give real time interviews about whether they were drinking, all that swearing would get old real fast.
Furthermore, accepting absolute authority in schools now is a far cry from what it was 50 years ago. Maybe I missed all the old news stories about kids with behavioral problems being reinstated by force after long parent protests. Maybe I missed the part about how every student has some such or other special need and that even if their ideas are blatently wrong, in this modern world of post modernist acceptance of everyone feelings they still have to be respected for thier stupidity. Mr Grandfather was a special needs educator in the mid-1900s and what he'll tell you is that things are a lot different then they are now, not in any way becoming more authoritarian, and not getting any better. I wouldn't hate going to class so much if professors would tell students not to talk anymore because they're making everyone stupider with their ideas.
Everyone seems to be berateing you for trying to define porn though all you did was ask from some good taste from patrons.
I don't think the governement has any right to regulate what I look at at the public library, but I'm not down there looking at Butt FUcked Cum Sluts Go Nuts because I still have a shred of tact, and I wish others had the same. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you always should at any and all times possible.
If you look at the SWOP website, it is not only an organization entirely devoted to outreach to prostitutes, they have chapters in Alabama, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and on the Campus of UCLA. Now not all SWOP members are prostitutes, but I doubt that the members who are are all legally licensed in the state of Nevada and working in brothels.
They aren't really the best authority sometimes. At some universities if you submit the same paper for more than one class, even a paper you wrote, you're guilty of plagerizing.
Not to mention on the other hand that if you properly cite the entire new Steven King book you haven't commited plagerism though you have most certainly infinged on the copyrights.
FF1-10 are in sequence but are in general terms in no way sequils (until you hit that bastard FFX-2) the content of games is limited only buy what people are willing to produce, not by naming rights.
That sounds a lot like how I got suspicious about them. I place all three movies in the mailbox, they get picked up by the same postman, mailed to the same place, which is a PO box at the post office where my girlfriends father works and is on a first name basis with the one Netflix guy who comes and picks up all of them.
One would think that with only one path they should all get there at roughly the same time, then I noticed that they would be "recieved" sometimes up to six days apart. On the most part only one will get delayed and it will only be a day or two, but as much as I love to blame the postal service nothing I've sent in the past 20 years has taken more than a day to get accross town, that my DVD regularly take 2-3 seems like there might be a rather uninvisible hand at work.
Nah, you just wait until 13 people call the same number every friday asking about the weather and getting into long discussions about how the weatherman is angry that people aren't using their umbrellas.
And if greed profiteering Africans hadn't captured other Africans and brought them to the coast the slave trade would have been set back a two hundred years until anti-milarials were readily availible. The Dutch weren't running jungle raids into the Congo for cheap labor, they just pulled their boats with trade goods up tot he coast and let Africans handle the rest.
If you're going to blame drug users and dealers for the drug trade, at some point you have to blame the growers.
Probably 60% of Advent Children is fight scenes, thankfully they talk rarely during these parts.
If you take the anime FLCL for example, the talk is almost constant and the pace of the show is so face that just keeping up with the subtitiels as they flash on and off can bew a challenge at times, let alone catching enough of what else is going on that you understand why they're saying what they are. Some thing really do need to be dubbed.
Maybe there's a gray area surrounding Tibet (The section on status) because tibet has not been a recognized independent nation for hundreds of years and even during their period of self governance the repeatedly sent representitves to the China's government to help draft laws which might give one the impression that they treated themselves as a self ruled portion of a larger empire. At worst they are a colony, and if America really wants to get mad about that we'd have to give up Guam and Puerto Rico.
The divorce rate of couple in America doesn't go above 50% until couples have been married between 15-20 years. Considering that most people change jobs more often than they change wives I don't think marraige in America is doing all that badly.
I live in America, but I've been saying the same thing about certain sects of our society for as along as I've been able to identify that there are people out there who are actively seeking by their own admission to leech of society, give nothing back to anyone, and basically waste everyone elses oxygen.
It's not flamebait, you can turn into any organization in the U.S. that deals with teenage pregnany and they'll tell you about the loosing battle their fighting to try and quell the birth rates to parents that cannot care for their children and produce people cappable of functioning in a normal capacity and furthermore producing a next generation of well educated and socially productive humans.
Smart people can work out plenty of good solutions to stop stupid ones form reproducing, unfortunately socity has decided that trying to forcibly stop morons from reproducing is a bigger crime than bringing a child into a terrible home and offering him a one way ticket to the same mediocre life his parents had.
The makes of Doom 3 didn't provide me anything of value, why should I pay for the right to use their code?
Because that's the system. I'm not arguing the validity of the system, I'm simply saying that the system exists, and you either have to work to change it or work within it. If RIM had done either we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
Actually there are a lot of perfectly justifiable reasons to have lobbyist, what you're you're against seems to be the corrupt state the lobbying has reached today where it has become more of a way for the rich to influence those in power with a golf trip rather than paying someone to make sure congressmen know how things effect your interests. There are limits to the effects and logistics of letter writing campaigns.
If your company is involved with in international trade (say Kodak) and you think that curretn trade laws are being exploited by your competition (say Fuji) how would you tell congress that the laws need to be looked at? Have all your employees take a day off to write to their congressmen? No, you hire a lobbyist to get the attention of some power people and tell them you're being screwed. Of course right after he leaves the Fuji lobbyist will be right in there saying that nothing they've done is unfair and no action needs to be taken. The same system applies for political action campaigns like gun control or environmental issues as well as for the big companies looking to protect their market.
There is nothing wrong with teh practice of lobbying, there is certainly something wrong with the Money For Votes program that exists today.

I had to stop watching speed demos of games because the neighbors complained about my yelling of "Fuck you!" and "He's breaking the game!"
The correct analogy would be someone who has good dice control vs. someone who has sat at the table rolling the die for 20 hours a week so the game has artifically rewarded him by giving him a die with only sevens on it.

It would be more apt to say it's illegal everywhere except Nevada then to say it's legal if you live in any state as long as that state is Nevada.
If you're a prostitute in America more than likely you are engaging in prostitution illegally.
