As I type this, I have just added the last of my defences to my cubicle, and my sanity. Barbed wire covers all edges, sandbags line the walls, camo netting cover the top, and my desk thrown in front of the doorway with a machine gun to defend through the gunport slits in the walls make my pillbox an impenetrable fortress. No more will I be constantly moved around for no reason and have my stapler taken from me!
They tried one time too many, but I was ready, and now the police have the building surrounded and the negotiator is saying something about how me burning down Initech was a mistake, but I am safe between the walls of my beloved cubicle and stacks of TPS reports. They can pry my red Swingline from my cold, dead, hands. Come and get it, cube-Nazis! YEAAARGH!
*sound of door-breaching charge* *sound of flashbang and teargas* *machine gun fire* *sound of explosion* *maniacal laughter* *screams* *sound of flamethrower*
ACK! They got me, the bastards, carry on the casue withou- *BOOM!*
*silence* *radio- "We got him sir! Tango down! Repeat, target neutralized! Get some medics in here!"*
ow I'm a liberal, and proud of it. Why am I a liberal? I like the whole liberty thing.
Well, if economically you feel the same way, then you really sound more minarchist or (little L) libertarian.
The main thing I don't like about the Democratic view on social liberty is they want federal funding and involvement to support all of these freedoms. I'd rather just be left alone, but have police protection if I need it. I don't need huge wasteful federal programs to monitor and enforce them beyond the Dept. of Justice.
Please tell me you won't waste this power and these displays soley on work. C'mon, you know that you need to "stress test" the system in F.E.A.R., right? Post pics plz.
It must have had something to do with the state of the energy, like the pressure.

In some countries like Germany there are many political parties that form alliances to get most of their plans implemented and people elected. What has happend in the US is simply that these different groups have melded in to two opposing sides that represent everything. It's bandwagoning to the extreme. I think that three to five parties with a little more distinction would be better, though, but it's not like this is some strange anomolous flaw.
Well, for people like me that really only care about two or three shows, the occasional History Channel special, and movies, TiVo means I get more time to do other things than plan my life around watching these shows or giving them up. I get both. I do stuff Fridat and Saturday, then watch TV only at dinner during the week.
What's funny is that alot of animals have certain behaviours exibited under conditions similar to when humans swear, and that alot of these cussing-equivalents involve poop. So a mouse with Tourette's may just crap all over the place randomly. Consider yourself warned.
Maybe if you have a gas problem this could actually be useful anyway.
What about editability, speed, and legibility? People used typewriters long before M$ Word.
What if you are writing a book? You can't fit that much paper in your pants (unless your wife is very lucky). Sure, portable typing is kinda useless, unless you need to email or reuse it later on a computer or something else particular.
Ah, but you see, this is all part of a diabolical scheme by the RI/MPAA to blackmail storage companies into ensuring that no storage medium except theirs will last long enough for something to become public domian, so that no one else will ever own it!. Your CDs, DVDs, and hard drives will all die before that happens, and you will be forced to buy again, in HD format!
He said "people think of programs like..." not "I think" x programs as being socialist. Your point is correct, he was meerly stating another common misconception, not reiterating the common misconception you mentioned.
Good point too, by the way. I almost didn't think of that when I first read his post.
10 million people play MMORPGS. How many have been killed as a result? Like three?
How many people play videogames total? How many of them become killers?
Only when those numbers become even noticably close you can say that this correlation does, indeed, imply casuation. (not completely true, but truer than current arguments)
How is this level of violence any different from any age in history? Name one where gladiatorial matches, swordfighting, kids joining the military, kids playing cowboys and indians, or something else didn't happen.
Over one million warriors are battling it out in multiplay on the X-Box Live servers as we speak. That's more than five times the number of armed troops doing battle in Iraq. Which is resulting in more deaths?

Off topic, but your sig is wrong. It should read "any sufficiently DIS-organized". Just FYI.
Now I can ship myself and a ton of robots and equipment there and begin to fufill my evil plans...
I will have the first wave of gas staions, drive-throughs, and Starbucks on the spacelanes and secure a monopoly all for myself!
Bwahahaha! Monopoly! I feel like Bill Gates...
Yes, most of them are biased, but no more than any other reports on VGs.

While I feel that your argument is correct, based on some little bits of info that I have, I'd like to see your figures too.

You used "people", "politics", and "Green" in the same sentance as sane. What are you thinking?
Who would want everyone to think they're a total geek living in their mom's basement at 43?
Since journalists and the general public became scientifically and mathmatically illiterate. So pretty much always.
They'll be saying this for a couple centuries at least.
It is and upgrade. They are going from Winblows to Linux. Going to Vista would be a downgrade.

We already treat animals better. We always forget we are one too.

Buy two. That's still pretty cheap, in corporate IT terms. Have one be external, keep it in a secure area close by, and back up weekly.

Forget the jokes, cue masturbation. Like always.

Besides, uh, China? And India? They already have the US, which has about half the population of Europe.

What's the point? By the time space combat is feasable it will be easier to keep flying and grab your own rock than take it from someone else.
