My predictions (Bear in mind that I have only read the first two books and watched the series up to the episode right before Viserys gets "crowned"):
1: Several more major characters will get killed of. 2: Many more ladies in the series will get thoroughly banged from behind. 3: Jon Snow will head up the Black watch and ally with Daenrys. In the end, they will hook up and rule the land together, and the two will bang happily ever after.
Of course they can...if someone is sufficiently close and the shockwave hits a reverberating surface containing an atmosphere that can transmit the resulting sound waves to your auditory sensor. The TIE Fighter sounds were ion streams (from their engines) hitting the hull. That's how close they got to the Falcon!
I believe a simpler and more sensible explanation for the roar of the TIE fighters flying through space is that nobody on screen heard them. They were simply added for effect, for the benefit of the viewers in the audience. Those scenes would have lost luster if those sound effects had not been added, same with the sounds of the laser blasts and explosions.
Likewise, it is highly unlikely that any of the characters on screen would have heard the Main Title, the Imperial March, or any other number from the soundtracks (other than the likes of the Cantina songs, Max Rebo's music, the Ewok Celebration, or the too painful to remember Life Day song that Princess Leia sang).
Is it wise to buy a thermostat from a company calling itself Heatmiser? After all, the name is taken from a bloke who proudly declared that anything he touches, starts to melt in his clutch.
Can't really argue that. It is a big country here, with plenty of room for all sorts of nutjobs. My big hope is that we can eventually keep them contained to the Bible Belt area so the rest of the nation can hopefully progress into a bright and enlightened future. (yeah right).
If bigot Yankees wouldn't have started to teach Creationism at school, or open the Creation Museum, or all the bizarre stuff I periodically read about religion in the US, maybe atheists would not have felt the need to "fight back" in that way...
If this does become a problem, perhaps NASA will need to actively hunt down and recruit those champion asteroid blasters who dominated the arcades back in the 80s.
Anyone know the whereabouts of the ace pilots known only as FUK, ASS, and DIK?
Well if they don't like it, then they can go back to their own shitty countries. Im not a racist, but whenever blacks complain about slavery or discrimination here in America, I offer to buy them a one way ticket to Africa. But no. They don't want to go back to that shithole. I'd do the same for Mexicans or Chinese or any other fuckers who complain and cause problems in America, yet none want to go back home.
Just out of curiosity, if the one complaining was a Hopi, or Cherokee, or Navajo, or Apache, or perhaps Salish, to which destination would you purchase a one way ticket for them?
Which one of your rights is assaulted when Google, a private enterprise, decides to not show you certain links?
Is Google one of the country's owners? Do they pull the strings of any of our lawmakers in D.C., lawmakers that were hired (aka voted in) by the citizens of this country? If they are controlling lawmakers, like other highly influential corporations do, then they should be considered to be acting on behalf of the government and the people that the government is supposed to serve. And thus, they should be required to observe and submit to the same safeguards and restrictions outlined in the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution to which anyone else working under the banner of government is subject.
Christians believe that God destroys societies that accept homosexuality. That's why they believe it's their business.
And it is a bloody shame that any organized mythology can have such a deep impact on public policy and the governing of a nation that is supposed to be hands off on such beliefs.
Omega Race gets my vote for underrated game of its time. It immerses you, relies on reflex gaming, is pretty fair, and there are several strategies to employ of various success rates. If you're good at it, you can play for quite some time. Try it sometime on Mame, though realize the dial control of the game doesn't translate perfectly to keyboard. It took me some time adjusting the sensitivity to have an okay time.
Another great feature of Omega Race was that you could still control the ship to a degree in attract mode if you were out of quarters. If I remember right, you could at least control the thrust and weapons fire. It was a good way to get just a little more of your fix even if you were broke but still not ready to go home.
Oh, and amazingly, I found that the best home port ever for Omega Race was on the Commodore VIC-20 (need to see about getting Omega Chase Deluxe for my Vectrex to see how it compares). That was one of the most faithful renditions ever of the arcade version. And back when I was a big time classic video games collector, I discovered the best controller to use with it was the Starplex. Back when I had time to have my systems set up, that I totally kicked ass on Omega Race and several other games with that controller.
Always remember that your barista responsibilites change based on your field. As a former archaeologist, I cannot tell you how many nazis I killed while working at Starbucks.
Did you recommend the Lost Ark blend, with room for scream? I hear that one is quite the face melter, it's so hot.
While checking out the video, I found myself realizing that it needed a soundtrack added. In particular, they should have added the sound effects from the original arcade version of Asteroids. That would have been awesome, and those forever top Asteroids champs ASS and FUK would have been so proud.
It doesn't "make sense" to have multiple grocery stores servicing the same area, the duplication is wasteful. Why have two barbershops servicing Ive neighborhood? It would be more efficient to have one
Yeah, it is a twisted and convoluted system. That is for sure.
And thanks for giving me a Beavis and Butthead moment by your declaration that you anal and can twist and screw with the best of them. Huh-huhhuhhuhhuh...
Slashdot Mirror
Repeat after me:
"Hallowed are the Ori."
What could possibly go wrong?
How about "Hastur Hastur Hastur" instead?

What would Hodor say?
The only reason the world tolerates the Middle East crazies is cuz of the oil.
The Russians are also proving they can be crazy as well.
At least Vladimir is able to pull off an impressive badass public image. Might even think he's Putin on a Ritz.

Go fuck yourself if your creed allows it...
It does, and I do it daily, sometimes more than once.
So, you are that Man from Nantucket then, I presume? :D
Apparently, it was privately funded, by other likeminded nutjobs.
Can't really argue that. It is a big country here, with plenty of room for all sorts of nutjobs. My big hope is that we can eventually keep them contained to the Bible Belt area so the rest of the nation can hopefully progress into a bright and enlightened future. (yeah right).

The Creation Museum was founded by an Australian.
As Mr. Spock might say, "A turd, sprinkled with sugar, is still a turd."
At least, in my mind, I always hear that in Spock's voice. Go figure.

Ceti Alpha V!
(Sorry, just being a geek...)
Of course, that would only be meaningful if Menkar, also known as Alpha Ceti, is discovered to have at least 5 planets.
I would suggest Urectum, but that is already reserved for use in 2620.

Just as long as I don't have to see Uranus...
I just hope it doesn't discover the Goatse Nebula, or the Goatse Galaxy.
Actually, it would be pretty damn hilarious if either of those were actually out there somewhere in the vast cosmos.
It would obviously have to be before 2620. After then, Uranus will be renamed.
Were you at any time, the gamer who signed any of the countless vanity boards out there as either ASS or FUK?

and at only $0.25 for three ships, it was a bargain. The ship even had hyperdrive!
But did you manage to beat the scores of ASS and FUK? Or are you either ASS or FUK?

When there is stiff competition, the big winner is typically the customer.
Great, I just made myself hungry again...
Yeah, it is a twisted and convoluted system. That is for sure.
