So let's see, the millionaires who'd rather stay and pay more stay and pay more, and the ones who don't move out and pay the same thing in another state? Globally for the US it's a win.
Yep, there are some small ethnic groups which look very distinct from other East Asian peoples, such as the Ainu people who, if anything, look more like Finns than anything else.
Well, when it comes to employment discrimination, it seems that allowing the less of such information to be known to anyone involved in the chain of employment is desirable.
I mean it's easier to judge applicants for their qualifications when it's all you see than when you're told that one is a young married white Presbyterian from Connecticut and the other is an old transsexual black-hispanic communist Nation of Islam-muslim from the South Bronx.
I've never played Mirror's Edge, but I guess that 3D platforming can indeed be well done, what's important is to choose the approach that fits best the idea of the game, rather than trying to force full 3D onto something just for the sake of it.
2D is a superior approach for such games because they allow you to see everything in your vicinity, makes moving simple, and so on. It's just the better approach for such games.
That's the problem with the novelty effect of 3D, it had us under the delusion that 2D was a thing of the past and that everything had to be 3D, as much as possible, as if it was something you couldn't get too much of.
It surely has a name, but that's just a common thing when a novel technology/technique/approach appears to believe that it can replace entirely anything else. Which means I believe soon enough when the novelty of 3D graphics will have died for good then we'll see ourselves definitely sticking to 2D for certain types of games. Just because sometimes it's better (see Sonic on Genesis vs Sonic in 3D)
Well I've read many proposals for mining operations on the Moon (manufacturing, are you sure?) but I've also read rebuttals about why they'd be uneconomical and other reasons why they'd be undesirable, hence why I'm asking what you'd consider an actually viable plan.
But since you declined doing so I must declare victory and hence I accept your apology.
lol. What you did there is a variant of the "they said Galileo was wrong" fallacy, that is "We though X was worthless, but X turned out to be great, Y seems worthless, therefore Y will surely turn out to be worth it".
Besides a logical fallacy, do you have anything going for your argument that there's anything to be done on the Moon? (I mean precise stuff, not "maybe in the future we'll have ideas").
We colonised, traded, eventually enslaved, because there were things to extract, sell, harvest. It's the Moon we're talking about here, a huge desert from which nothing profitable can come from, not even Helium 3.
And what on Earth makes you think that a Moon base would be cheaper than a space station?? I can't begin to fathom what would make you think that letting a cluster of airtight tanks at our door step would be easier than building, manning and maintaining a fucking village on the Moon. And what for anyways? What do you want a colony on the Moon for??
No, your reasoning is stupid, not to mention the straw man arguments. Your reasoning is stupid because speeding over the limit is inherently undesirable and unwanted, it's not a freedom, it's something no one should do.
That's all about safety, you could compare it to a staircase with or without a ramp. We put a ramp so you can't do anything stupid or dangerous, or just fall. But people like you want their freedom to jump from a side of the staircase to another, or to fall to your death.
Or to put it without any bad analogy, instead of preventing something dangerous and undesirable, you want to let it happen and punish people for it. That's retarded.
Oh, a rare specimen of someone who knows better than Wikipedia. Maybe you should contribute your precious erudition to it then. By the way deficiency only means "less than you should have", that says nothing about the amplitude of things.
Don't presume to tell someone how they think, especially when you don't know them and they have upwards of twice your life experience.
Did you misunderstand something or are you just mentally impaired? I said that less people die when hitting a tree from 55 mph than from 80 mph, you said something that seemed to imply that your friend died by hitting a tree. Even if he hit it at 55 mph, that doesn't disprove my claim that less people die at the slower speed, because I didn't claim that nobody died.
Hypokalemia is very dramatic. Not. According to Wikipedia:
Mild hypokalemia is often without symptoms, although it may cause a small elevation of blood pressure,[5] and can occasionally provoke cardiac arrhythmias. Moderate hypokalemia, with serum potassium concentrations of 2.5-3 mEq/L, may cause muscular weakness, myalgia, and muscle cramps (owing to disturbed function of the skeletal muscles), and constipation (from disturbed function of smooth muscles).
In other words you might have cramps and the likes, and be constipated. And what's the no less dramatic cure to this terrible ailment? Oral potassium chloride supplements (Klor-Con, Sando-K, Slow-K) or just eating leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, citrus fruits, oranges or bananas.
Really, thanks for that Slashdot. While we're at it, did you know that it is estimated that over 40% of the population has B12 deficiency, and that it can cause tiredness, decreased mental work capacity, decreased concentration and decreased memory, irritability and depression?
You're the one who needs to shut the fuck up. The story in TFA clearly shows that there was a dramatic lack of safety. There is such a thing as unacceptable bugs, and there are ways to make sure these don't happen.
WTF is that shit with the Star Trek analogy anyways? Do you ever go outside?
Sadly the Daily Mail's poor standard of journalism and its biases shouldn't feel unfamiliar to us who are familiar with Slashdot's own editorial issues.
Sliding off the road sideways and hitting an oak tree at 55 mph will kill you just as effectively as it will at 80 mph.
That's bullshit. For one thing you'll have a tougher time sliding off the road at 55 mph than you would at 80 mph, and then the car won't hit the tree at the speed at which it was on the road. You can bet that a lot more people in the same circumstances would survive the same crash at 55 mph than at 80 mph. In reality people can fall from planes 12,000 feet high without a parachute and still survive. But people (like you) keep thinking in absolutes (i.e. "if you hit a tree in a moving car you'll necessarily die") which is utterly bogus.
Oh noes, teh evil government is taking away your freedom from going over the speed limit! The unspeakable horror! Give me back my freedom to wrap my car around a telephone pole!!

I have healthy teeth, so nope, none of that.
I've never bought or used cocaine yet I probably have more of it in my wallet. On my bank notes.
I used to be the oldest blogger ever at the age of 127, but unfortunately I just turned -128 :-(.
So, if a hammer is used to build a cross that the KKK burn on someone's front yard, the hammer is "enabling" racist pigs?
A more accurate analogy would be a map with some areas of it indicated by "HERE BE NIGRAS".

I said Cola-induced.
Right, and how many people died from Cola-induced hypokalemia? Hint: the answer is in another comment in this thread.

Read again the part about absolutes.
