Um, I don't think you said what you thought you said, and I don't see how it can be an innocent typo, considering how far apart the E and O are on a keyboard. "Sew" means repair a cloth. I believe you meant "sow", which is what you do with seeds to make something grow. I.e., "sow the seeds of chaos."
The key thing about relativity is that, no matter what speed you're moving at, you feel the same.
But the speed of light makes communications difficult over long distances, like the 10-20 minutes to get a signal to Mars. In a REALLY realistic game, when you call someone from Venus to Jupiter, it will be a while before they get your message. There's a lot of lag between planets.
If the people in line had paid in advance like CoreSite did, they wouldn't have run out of fuel, either. Sheesh, these folks have foresight and you bash them because others didn't? And what does being in a shelter because your house was demoloshed have to do with fuel?
I found it interesting, especially the part about renting hotel rooms, only to have the staff sleep in cots on-site because the hotels had no electricity, food, or water.
Downloading from The Pirate Bay doesn't take a lot of smarts. Pay to watch ads, or see the movie for free without them? The industry is brain-dead, this is the kind of crap that drives people to the very piracy the industry hates and was the sort of thing DeCSS was written for.
If the "job creators" want to invest in American jobs, then they won't be taxed on their money hoarding.
I simply don't understand why people fall for the trickle down fairy bullshit when math and history say it's bullshit, to say nothing of logic and reason itself (a sad not on some slashdotters). I don't care how much you lower a restaraunt owner's taxes, he's not going to hire more cooks and wait staff unless business is so good he needs more staff. Conversely, if an equipment manufacturer is selling his gizmos faster than he can make them, no amount of taxation is going to keep him from hiring. Taxes aren't part of the equation at all. That's the math part.
The history part is that there has never been any correlation between taxes on the rich and the economy in history.
I'd also like to know why the tea party is bitching about federal taxes when they're lower than they've been since Truman? And why they never bitched about the deficit until Obama was elected?
Somebody's pulling the wool over a lot of stupid poor and middle class fools' eyes.
Smoke a joint before you play, that's far better than Dramamine at combatting motion sickness. Actually, for alleviating any kind of gastrointestinal queaziness including food poisoning and alcohol hangovers.
But you can't give multiple players their own individual time rates.
Why not? It's on a computer, you can make time go as fast or slow as you want. The faster you're supposed to be going, the slower the game goes for everyone else. It's just a matter of timing loops, not hard at all.
Dude, why do you feed an anonymous troll that sits at -1? The guy got every single "fact" wrong and he probably did it deliberately.
Example: he said "Gore would have continued running the country into the ground like Clinton before him" despite the fact that Clinton turned a recession into a boom, and took a huge defecit and left with a balanced budget. No way did he "run it into the ground." I voted against him when he first ran, but for his re-election because I'm not a retarded party guy like the troll you responded to and saw that he was doing a great job.
"Clinton utterly ignored them when they tried the trade center the first time." Again, a complete falsehood. The bombers were jailed and Clinton was vigilant to the point of paranoia, warned Bush, who ignored all the warnings.
So now you have me feeding him, too. Thanks, buddy.
That's great. Seems to be wonderful. But what will it be used for / with ? What industry will benefit of this "invention" ?
Funny, they asked the same things when lasers themselves were invented. Nowdays, how many lasers are in your house? The fact is, you never know when a "useless" invention or discovery will turn out to be earth-shaking.
It probably depends on where you live. In the US it would be fair use, other places maybe not. In the US you can't sue unless you've registered the copyright, in other places maybe not.
"Old" matters; age usually confers wisdom and knowledge. But what does the fact that they were white dudes matter? Your comment sounds a tad bit racist, sexist, and ageist. I'm guessing you're an undergrad in college, right? Or maybe still in high school?
You also forgot the smoking of teh weed... cuz you know, that's exactly what the 99% need... another place to spend the money they don't have and to magically go someplace in their mind where nothing matters.
Legal weed is like legal apples: you can grow your own and it costs nothing. And look at if you do actually buy it rather than growing it -- a pack of cigarettes has an ounce of tobacco, which is much harder to grow. Now, look at the price of a pack of legal, lethal cigarettes compared to the price of an ounce of illegal, mostly harmless weed.
AND, if they're stoned on pot they're not likely to be breaking into your house or driving, unlike the very dangerous but legal drug alcohol.
It isn't the terrorists that will bring down the US...it will be our mismanagement of the economy, and I'm afraid we as a country put a few nails in the coffin with the re-election of this guy. Sad day for the US....
I don't see it. It took Bush's economic policies (tax cuts for the rich, getting our country attacked by not listening to the previous adminiatration or his own FBI agents), and starting two very expensive wars to nearly bankrupt us. Bush went into office with a balanced budget and a booming economy, and left it with the largest defecit in US history and the economy in ruins. You expected Obama to fix in four years what Bush took eight to destroy? Are you mad?
When your wife leaves you broke and in debt, what do you do? You cut spending as much as you can, get a second job if you have to (increased revenues), and guess what? You're going to go even deeper in dept before you can get out of it. You gotta eat. That's where the country is now.
Unemployment is lower than when Obama took office, there are far more jobs available than when he took office (Bush is still history's only President to leave office with fewer jobs than when he was elected), the Iraq war is over and Afghanistan winding down. Things are getting better, fool. But Romney's plan is to go back to the Bush policies. All I can say is WTF?!?
The only people hurt by regulations in the U.S. are the people who are actually trying to follow the rules and be good citizens.
That applies to every law written; from drug laws to road traffic laws to bank robbery to environmental regs to gun laws. Sociopaths don't give a damn about your laws!
Lets see, Bush gave the "too big to fail" failed banks tons of money. Obama was elected an did the same. The PATRIOT act was passed easily with both parties voting overwhelmingly. Ditto DMCA and the Bono Act, both travesties.
Both parties want to put your friends, family, and loved ones in jail for smoking a plant, despite the Republican's lie of wanting "states rights". Two states legalized pot yesterday but it's still against Federal law.
The ways they are different mostly don't matter to me. Gay marriage? None of my fucking business. Abortion? Doesn't matter since the SCOTUS says you can't outlaw it. The only difference I see that matters to me is that the Republicans hate unions even more than the Democrats do (see what Democratic Governor Quinn is doing to gut state employees' bargaining rights).
So... how are they different? Assuming of course by "Republican" you don't mean "tea party"; those idiots are for enriching the rich at the expense of the rest of us.
LASIK won't do much good with severe myopia, there would be too much to cut. Right now the CrystaLens is the only accomodating lens, with the rest you'll need reading glasses. In 2023 when the patent runs out on the CrystaLens all implanted lenses will be made like that.
The choice of surgeon REALLY matters. I was severely nearsighted all my life, and farsighted as well in my forties. The eye with the implant is better than 20/20 now, stats say something like 98% of patients who get that lens have 20/25 or better, but my ex-wife had to have an implant, heard bad things about my surgeon, and picked someone not nearly as skilled. She's wearing bifocals, so be careful when choosing a surgeon.
There is one thing you get when you age that the implant won't fix, and that's "floaters". You need a vitrectomy to fix that, and believe me, you don't want one. But as nearsighted as you are, you're in danger of a detached retina. If you see black snow, get to your eye doctor immediately, as your eyesight is in grave danger.
As the father of an educationally handicapped adult daughter I find your attitude highly offensive. Most mental handicaps are not hereditary; my youngest daughter has an IQ of 130. The oldest was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, had it not been for that her IQ may have been higher than her sister's.
Take your argument a little farther, we shouldn't let anyone with less than a 150 IQ live. E.g, I live, you die. Compared to me, you're a retard. Compared to Stephen Hawking, I'm a retard.
