....hysterical. I have never played one of these MMORG's or whatever they are....but man...Leroy..."at least I'm not chicken". The serious attitude of the "leader" sells the whole thing...too funny...although I think they need to get out a bit more!
....to see the various talking heads spewing thier usual skewed morality modded into Counterstrike:Source for target pratice. I remember that former military guy they dragged onto the cameras when Soldier Of Fortune first arrived....blathering on about "murder simulators" and teaching kids that headshots are good (although with the current shortage of trained snipers available for deployment in Iraq...keep on playing kids). Of course every time some whacked-out kid shoots up a school this particular bandwagon gets jumped on en-masse.
Hmmmm...why not moan about something useful...like...say...teen idol Britney Spears fronting trailer trash pregnancy....or....hmmmm....those various senior level government officials with documented claims of false military service...or....how the media distorts everything in order to sell advertising-regardless of effect....
Pardon me while I go play Super Mario 3 followed by a little stroll to the post office.....
I would suggest...with respect...that you put down the book you read (Archie & Jughead?) and re-evaluate your position. Competent software? Value to the country? You have to be kidding. A monkey can code given the right training...and try explaining the value of java-enabled porn to every troop who has served since the days of the Continental Army...value indeed.
"Insightful" my ass. And ditto and shame on the rest of you for making assumptions about which you know absolutely NOTHING. Unless you are a veterna or currently serving. The days of assuming even a grunt (11B type) are long gone. In order to survive on the battlefield it has long been established that a certain level of basic intelligence that translates into street smarts, tactical awareness, technical ability, and good decision-making abilities makes a good basic soldier (or airman/seaman/Marine). Those of you sitting in your ivory air-conditioned IT chambers of solitude looking down your noses at service in the military ain't shit compared to those that have served, are currently serving, and future volunteers. And by the way....I don't think you will ever see the current level of professionalism displayed by the US military in very trying circumstances diluted by the creation of a new draft.
.....WHY? I am pretty sure that I volunteered for my military service and registered for selective service upon turning 18. This DB tool is not needed and I firmly feel it is not only an intrusion of privacy but a nice waste of tax $$ as well.
The possibilities are boundless. There must be thousands of applications in medicine alone. All those wrecked ligaments, old fractures, and muscular scar tissue currently residing in various parts of my body...fixed and powered. No more power problems for artificial organs. Also the headaches associated with controlling and providing power to certain types of optical material/devices would be instantly sorted out. Hopefully the more invasive models designed for bio-remidiation tasks are set up with an off switch!
Actually...would it be possible to use this sort of thing to fix nerves damaged by stroke or compression (i.e. extruded lumbar discs)?
...considering the history. Nice to see the healing process between the USA and Vietnam continue. Gives me hope that ole' Bill will be shaking hands with folks in Iraq and Afghanistan 20 years from now (God...please don't take that long!).
That is some nifty research. Can you see it now-"Canon releases S-glass lenses throughout the EOS system lineup". I do have a couple of questions though-First....how did the researchers avoid contamination of the glass samples during rides on the "Vomit Comet" and second...why did that have to add that awful photo of the lead scientist? Seriously though....I love NASA! Great job guys....
Ok....so the place is known for beaches, clothing, and curry. Now that the island will be wired will they degenerate to the African norm thanks to webcam (why visit...seen one beach...seen them all), on-line shopping ("wow honey...look at my new tiki shirt...made by slave labor in Bulgaria and flogged through www.borkedmauritiousshopping.com") and of course ALL the curry shops in the UK will offer delicious new diarrhoea-inducing recipes for the masses?
Fuck that....and double fuck the self-important twats who will flock there sporting PDA's/Bluetooth-enabled Uhuru ear-tampons who will no doubt sit on the beach getting scorched to a crisp while yammering away to the rest of the world "guess where I am now?".
Pardon me if I am not impressed.
....did anyone notice that Brawny (paper towels) was listed as an advertiser along with Diet Pepsi? Fat old dudes slurping down a 64oz Big Gulp and vainly attempting to clean the keyboard post chat session...the mind boggles. Now pass the Brawny so I can can clean up the mess caused by blowing my beverage through my nose all over my monitor.
As if there is something to ACTUALLY get about these films. I am glad that you managed to extract the meaning of life and the universe from a feature-length toy advertisement (x6). Sucked in by the "realness"? Of what?
....towards approval of phrenology as an officially-sanctioned method of catagorizing individuals. This sort of bullshit "research" is best saved for those who prefer to justify their own inadaquecies and overall lack of intelligence. Could it also be that those who believe in this sort of twaddle suffer from megalocephaly and have trouble finding a hat that fits?

Are the folks at the university going to give Orsen Scott Card a bit of love?

You forgot drivers license and DOB.

That is the absolute nature of risk in business. Any engineer knows that!
