    yeah, a jar of 'organic compounds' will be a real draw at a museum.

    understandable. Here's to hoping the keyboard i saw demoed a while back that had analog style inputs for every key comes to market. http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/10/08/microsofts-pressure-sensitive-keyboard-gets-some-apps/ not the original article, but if this becomes common, it seriously puts keyboard/mouse on the forefront of gaming.

    well, in that case, perhaps when crouched, against cover, it modifies your mouse input to do leans, or whatever. what I'm saying is, the mouse/keyboard combo is very versatile, and can be adapted to huge arrays of tasks and play-styles, where a console controller is far more limited.

    I'm all for better input controls. I'm not all for having to buy some new gizmo for every new game that comes to market.

    nah, you just bind q and e to that function, or some of the dozens of extra buttons on your mouse. thats the thing about PC games, you can make the controls fit your play-style. If something is awkward to do on a console game, chances are, you just have to live with it.

    sources besides yourself please. No insult intended, but its hard for me to verify you as a credible source, so i'd like some other documentation to study on the effect of burns being caused by someone's imagination.

    you know, IANAL, but I think you should try it, and let us know how that one goes. For science and whatnot.

    if i had mod points, i'd mod you up funny. knowing what plantar fasciitis is makes it that much more hilarious.

    you bring up an interesting point. I of course, must note that evenly spaced trees causing a lapse in attention is a LONG way from a LED giving you Tourette's.

    faulty equipment of that nature, faulty enough to cause the kind of damage alleged, would have tripped the circuit breakers for the building, if not the whole darn block long before anyone ever had the chance to scan some kid.

    word of advice on that last card you have (the one for emergencies). Use that sucker every few months. I had a card i kept for emergencies, but I never actually used it, and all of a sudden one day, I get a letter from the company saying they have canceled the account for non use.

    you realize that 'nacho' is short for Ignacio, which is a proper name? kind of hilarious in this context really.

  18. Re:There are no details on Pumping Sunlight Into Homes · · Score: 1

    you make a good point. even on cloudy days, its usually not to dark outside to read. I think this sort of option is obviously best for businesses, places that are active during the main part of the day. The whole thing is sort of useless for places that are populated during the evening and night hours, but libraries, offices, and other 'daylight hours' places, its a great idea.

  19. Re:Queue . . . on High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes Bigger Weight Gain In Rats · · Score: 1

    No, they don't. I don't call micro-waved boxed things 'steak dinners'. Steak dinners involve actual meat, from an actual butcher, cooked on actual fire.

    I also tend to not call sports drinks 'water'.

    Sure, call me old fashioned, but it seems sort of retarded to refer to salted kool-aid as water.
