    Come on, DICE can make awesome games. Take Pinball Fantasies for example. The problem is clearly EA.

    I am a cyclist, overweight and using a full suspension mtb. I can't break the speed limit even if I wanted to.

    A jury wouldn't be involved anyway, Germany generally uses professional judges.

    Except in this case it is not impossible not to be a lawbreaker and if so many people violate the laws it is only because so many people are arseholes.

    My mother is a medical doctor and when her mother had cancer at the age of 89, my mother actually advised her to get pallative care instead of surgery and chemo. Well, my grandmother decided to start treatments and died within a few months in pain and in a hospital, not at home.
    So yes, I wish my grandmother was told by our health care system to go die at home.

    So if someone beats you up it is also just a negotiation on relations then? This is not how civilised people do negotiations.
    Moreover, I don't think "status quo" means what you think it means.

    Dude, you are so far right (supporting actual neo nazis) that everything else appears far left to you.

  16. Yep. Found that little gem in a discussion on "the Guardian" and since Slashdot is full of conservative kiddies these days I instantly knew I would piss them off with this sig. Never had so many enemies here before that, hehe.

  21. Re:Yeah that's very different on Texas Has Enough Sun and Wind To Quit Coal, Rice Researchers Say (houstonchronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    Still, it kind of kills your point of "no matter which plane to look at". Anyway, there are also swept wing aircraft that can do almost a 10x difference, Su-27 for example (stall speed 130kts, max speed 1240 kts).
    The reason why passenger aircraft doesn't is more economical than anything else, they are designed for flying with the best compromise between speed and fuel efficiency, that's all.

  22. Re:OMG look up a fact if you don't know it on Texas Has Enough Sun and Wind To Quit Coal, Rice Researchers Say (houstonchronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, that was supposed to be swing wing instead of swept wing. Take your F-14 as an example. Must be at least 10x difference.

    Tu-95 has swept wings, it simply cannot fly that slow lest it stalls. Has nothing to do with the load factor. Swept wing aircraft have far larger differences between their minimum and maximum speeds.

    I do not disagree with the general message, it's just that a factoid is something that looks like a fact, but isn't.
