Ohhh, only for kids. Okay. Except that the ringleader in this particular case was 18. Except that nearly all video games sold have content ratings and most stores don't sell mature games to children anyway.
Sorry, my mistake. I missed the transition from Fallout: Tactics to Fallout: BOS in the original post. Truthfully, I have no idea how the two differ from each other.
Wrong-feeling 3D like in Morrowind? WTF? Are you smoking crack? Even from the demo you can tell that's completely not true.
Fallout Tactics is an action game, not an RPG. This is why most people didn't like it. They were hoping for Fallout 3 and didn't get it. I understand this. As it is, I enjoyed the game and plan to play it again soon.
The annoying part is that the impression [I]I[/I] got from TOS and TNG was that the Prime Directive grew out of the [I]mistakes[/I] of the past. Not brilliant flashes of insight that some ancient starship captain had. It irked me, because here I was expecting a show about a green civilization that initiates the occasional tragedy because of their good intentions. Unfortunately, nothing like that has happened so far. Maybe it's just too early in the history of StarFleet.
I'm at my third state project, and my state uses DB2 for EVERYTHING. God, I hate it. It's such trash. Scales well, I suppose, but I just hate using it.
Yes! If I had a nickel for everytime a huge, faceless corporation tried to assassinate me and steal my OPEN SOURCE code, fuck, I'd be a rich man! This movie sure as hell captured what it is to be a programmer!!!!
The game itself refers to the Desert Eagle as "deagle". As far as I remember, if you do any command line work or scripting in CS, that's the weapon name you have to use.
After I got through the pointless paragraphs of mall details and got into the actual meat of the story, I was faced with an immediate factual error. Valve did NOT create Counter-Strike. It was an amateur mod effort done as a personal (unpaid) project. It was only later, after a slew of releases, that Valve hired CS's creators and acquired the mod as an official add-on to Half-Life.
Microsoft: "You'd better play ball or we won't make Office for Linux" Linux: "You've never made Office for Linux? Who cares? Since we've never had it, we can't miss it."
Do you not get it? MS doesn't make Office for Linux. MS has never made Office for Linux. How can they "threaten" not to do something they've never done and no one EVER expects them to do? It's different for Apple, which has always enjoyed Office support in the past.
I mean, it's like saying "What if Russia threatens to never give financial aid to America's poor?" Right!
UT is not exactly the same engine at UT2k3. Ask any mod author who's trying to port their game from the former to the latter. Yes, I'm sure they reused a lot, but the two are still very different from an integration perspective.
The reason most people don't have broadband is because there isn't any fine, high quality content on the internet for them to download! And the reason for that is because the poor media companies know that making that stuff available will lead to rampant piracy of said content. That's why we NEED to support CBDTPA, because it's entire purpose is to promote broadband! I mean, that's why it's called the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act. It's right there in the name! The fact that it gives media conglomerates obscene amounts of control over what basic electronics and personal computers can do is merely beside the point.
I don't think you realize just how much money law enforcement agencies rake in because of the war on drugs. Due to blatantly unconstitutional seizure laws, police, FBI, DEA, etc. can seize property deemed "contributory" to alleged drug crimes, or bought with the proceeds of alleged drug trafficking. In other words, if they accuse you of hiding drugs in your car or house, they can take that property away from you, without a trial and often without a warrant. They are also under no obligation to return said property even if the original charges are dropped or if you are acquited. Any cash found during a drug search will also be seized, as will large enough amounts of money found during other procedures (i.e. if they find a suitcase full of money in your car during a traffic stop, or if you're found boarding a plane with lots of cash, they might very well take it from you).
Legal battles to get property returned are difficult, costly, with no guarantees of winning. And if you do win, the cost of getting the property back may be more than it was worth in the first place.
The cash and proceeds from auctioning off all that seized property go directly towards funding law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, county, and municipal levels. In fact, the money from the seizures is often figured directly into the budgets of departments, meaning that they will budgeted less taxpayer money because they are expected to pull in as much cash from seizures as they did last year. If they don't, their department will face a budget crunch, so it is directly beneficial to police to seize as much property as they can, in order to pay for new uniforms, sidearms, squad cars, radios, etc. Not to mention all the perks enjoyed by the big bosses, including sports cars, houses, boats, and more.
All thanks to the wonderful "war on drugs". It will never end because the people in power personally gain so much from it.
It would be no more legal for minors than cigarettes. In other words, kids would still smoke it (like the do normal cigarettes) because it was "off limits". I doubt MJ will ever become legal, but even if it was, it'd still restricted to ages 18 and above.
Who cares? It wouldn't be you, it'd be someone with the same DNA. This person wouldn't have your experiences, your memories, or even your personality. In nature vs nurture, there is no clear winner. While your biological make-up does affect your personality, the environment you are raised in has a much greater impact. So in the end... who cares? It's not you. It may not even look like you (I've known "identical" twins who didn't really look all that alike).
One of the more prolific artists, though I found the quality of his work to be inconsistent.:/
Elmore is one of my favorites, though I wish he hadn't redone the Dragonlance series book covers. I didn't care for the new versions. I've noticed that Elmore's more recent works in general don't seem to be as good as his old ones.
Clyde Caldwell is another very popular fantasy artist. In general very nice paintings, though he may be overdoing the scantily-clad well-endowed female a bit (not as bad as Boris, though).
Keith(?) Parkinson does excellent work. There are few Parkinson painting's I've found fault with. Another common book cover artist.
Brom is most linked in my mind to the Dark Sun D&D campaign world. He has a very unique style and look to his work that I've always enjoyed.

You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

At that point, I stopped reading the article.

Yes, it was so horrendous that it made the most money of any Trek film.
Give me a break. IV isn't my favorite, but it's certainly better than V and a more enjoyable experience than I or III.
Actually, it's an old saying. Not something that anyone at /. made up on the spot. Fucking hell, get over yourself.

I think we all were.
Plus they got those damn tanks, and those FBI guys are freakin' insane!! Have you seen how they drive? It's crazy!
But the good news is that there's no one there to enforce them!

Plus if you had a brain, you'd probably have her whitelisted...

But then, knowing the INS, they'll send it to terrorists.
Nice to know that informing and educating people about a legal process can put you in danger of losing your job.
