I play this excellent version of the game. The graphics are amazing, as is the physics engine. However, the AI can sometimes be really tough, and worse yet, when I fall, the game punishes me with actual pain! I don't know how the programmers did it, but it's pretty amazing.
Also, are there any doctors in the house? This game keeps giving me this weird smelly liquid leaking from my skin. I've never seen it before, I'm afraid I might have contracted some rare disease!
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
If NASA really wants to get the most bang for their buck in the space program then they ought to hire some economist(s) to help evaluate their spending and check claims of "this will save money" when in fact it will not.
When has any US government agency ever tried to save money or get bang-for-the-buck?
Looks real to me. The thing's almost definitely empty and likely made out of a light (relatively speaking) material. I don't doubt at all that a semi could carry the thing, as long as you're not too concerned about fuel efficiency. My only real question regarding transportation would be how they got the tank TO the road (ie railroads, boats, or was it built right next to a road?)
(Note: I'm still not completely sure if you're trolling or not)
Actually, I'd say those merchant accounts improve the standing of the CC companies.
"The ToS you signed clearly says you won't try to circumvent the security features on the Credit Card systems we let you use, and you're making a FREAKING TELEVISION SHOW about it?"
But it wouldn't be Discovery making the show. Discovery has nothing to do with the show, other than airing it. The show is actually produced by Beyond Television Productions, which is based out of Australia. I doubt something as simple as Discovery.com's PoS (that's Point of Sale) ToS would be enough to prevent the show from airing.
On a less related note, a lot of companies try to keep all their stuff separate. I wouldn't be surprised if Discovery Store! (or whatever they call it) is technically a separate company. If they are separate, than the ToS absolutely would not apply to the shows on Discovery.
While I agree that discrimination by any group, including and perhaps especially the Boy Scouts is wrong, I can't help but think that the good far outweighs the bad. The program teaches many skills that today's youth lack. These include self-responsibility and helping others; two things which America's youth are surely lacking in.
To BSA's critics who claim cases of "institutionalized homophobia" and other discriminations, I must ask that you show me where the "institutionalized" part of it comes in. The closest I can find to discrimination against atheists or gays is in the Scout Oath which states: "On my honor I will do my est to do my duty to God and my country" and "to keep myself... morally straight"
The first of these, I agree, is pretty hard to argue around, but I'm going to try. The point of this part of the oath is not to affirm belief in god or higher power, but rather to show that you know you're not the most important person in the world. It is similar to the second and third steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, which are: 2. [We] came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. [We] made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. As I said, the point of these is not to turn the program into a religion, but rather to establish that the participant is not as important as they may think.
Morally Straight - The oath does not state that one will be sexually straight, but rather morally straight. That is, they will do the right thing. I think the real problem here is not that the wording was designed to trick people, but rather that people have gotten so used to being politically correct that they can't see the word "straight" as meaning anything but heterosexual.
There's gotta be some kind of change of price or capacity that they haven't announced yet. As it stands, the new 3G iphone will cost just as much as the ipod nano with similar capacity. I will cost $100 LESS than the ipod touch with similar capacity.
Than again, it is apple we're talking about, they can get sheeple to buy anything at any price.
And this is why, as a previous poster pointed out, that saying Star Wars is just a movie is like saying the Bible is just a book.
It has impacted countless movies, whether they admit it or not. From obvious references to the technologies and effects first employed by ILM in the trilogy, these movies have had a profound effect on film as a whole.
The effect of these movies on culture is even more unmeasurable.
A movie that has permeated practically every culture on the planet--Jedi is a religion in some countries; when people cup their hands over their mouth and slowly and loudly breath, people recognize it as a Vader impression; and its success made ILM, Skywalker Sound, Harrison Ford, Lucas Arts, Lucasfilm, THX, and the list goes on.
Read your contract. Does it not say that they have the right to terminate you if you overuse the network? How is it overusing if I'm using what they marketed and sold to me!?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to code with a beautiful naked woman throwing herself at you?
No.
Perhaps you're the one who needs to read up on his trial. He was tried by Iraqis, NOT by the US. He was executed BY Iraqis, not the US.

I'm surprised the US hasn't liberated any of this yet.

As a typical /.er, I might just RTFA, rather than the summary!
But for unknown reasons, there is still a gender box on the registration card.

What do you means DirectX10 isn't cross platform? It runs in all six versions of Windows Vista!
Shh! Don't let the MS devs hear that! They'll decide that the next version of windows should only have 3D capability on the expensive versions!
That sure was quick!
Also, TFA called them cavers.
There's a NEW Mexico!?
And if you want to eat the bread made from the wheat grown in my fields, you'll run an OC 12 line to my farmhouse.
Didn't they recently drop a suit just because they were so close to losing on the "making available" claim?
We still haven't even been to the Dark Side of the Moon! For all we know, there could be a secret Nazi base there!
Just like how it's "queer" to be "queer"?

Great. I just ordered 2 thanks to this damn story.
