It's refreshing to see that we can still judge people based on their physical appearance. I was afraid that extraordinarily accurate measure of a person's (especially a woman's) worth was no longer considered useful.
They always have been and always will be. I can count on one hand the number of run-ins I've had with cops that have been anything other than shitty - and no, I'm not a criminal.
Of course they went too far, they often do.
The culture of deliberate, misleading, trumped-up fear we live in today isn't helping anything either.
Frankly, we need more stories like this so more people realize just what the hell is going on.
I almost always rent a console game before I buy it because I don't have the kind of money it takes to buy a $70 POS that I'll hate after a week.
Games are way too expensive to allow those kind of restrictions on them.
I think a move like that will ensure that only big name titles get purchased and it will choke the life out of smaller games that nobody will want to pay for without the security of being able to sell them if they suck.
All we need is a ragtag group of oil drillers under the command of a tough but loveable employer to fly up to the asteroid and drill huge holes into it.
Then, it's just a matter of avoiding space dementia, talking down any of the suicidal military types that might be around, and dropping some nukes in the holes.
Sure, there might be some sacrifices, some heartache - and maybe even some tears - but it will all work out in the end.
This gets further and further OT, but yes - I have kicked an ass or two.
I am also of the 'big geek' variety, not the 'scrawny geek' like our pal seems to be.
But, you never can tell. I know a lot of coders who take all sorts of martial arts. Most of them involve swords which won't do much good in prison, though.
And we all know that guys who spend their time looking for suppressed UFO technologies in other people's military computers are generally real badasses - especially compared to violent prisoners.

Mod parent up.
Good point. I was wrong. Nothing like that was there.
Now, after re-reading the post, I don't know why I thought it was.
Disregard my last post please, and thanks for calling bullshit.

Grow up.

I seem to recall OLGA being mirrored on a few overseas sites as well back in the late 90's. I don't know why they don't do that again.
I wholeheartedly agree. 1983 was not a random date - that's when Seven and the Ragged Tiger came out.
I contend that was an even better record than Rio.
But since then,
Does Second Life take place in 1983?
Seriously - Duran Duran has virtually sucked for virtually 25 years.
Cops are dicks.
They always have been and always will be. I can count on one hand the number of run-ins I've had with cops that have been anything other than shitty - and no, I'm not a criminal.

Of course.
40% of people know that.
Then you, my friend, are a fool.
There is no "short-term" to a never ending "war" on an ephemeral notion like terrorism.
Mark my words - when your liberties are gone, they're gone for good.
I don't like to go this offtopic, but I can't let that comment slide.
Yelling a lot does *not* make a good performance.
That movie was a POS, and Pacino's performance in it was every bit as bad as he has consistently been since the early 80's.
I'll admit that the script didn't do him any favors, but the blame for that performance still rests with him.
Don't they have Circuit Writer pens at Radio Shack?
Yeah, the pinnacle of computers. . .
These high temperatures should sterilize enough people like you that eventually we won't have to read crap like that.
Well, it was in Wikipedia. . .
Amen to that.

What if you punch the asshole in the jaw who keeps talking through the ballgame/movie/dinner/concert?
What will they hear on the other end?
It's like a koan, man. . .
Naah, only their consultants can do that. . .
Well, the asteroid situation is easy.
All we need is a ragtag group of oil drillers under the command of a tough but loveable employer to fly up to the asteroid and drill huge holes into it.

Duh. . .
Good point.

Yeah, he'll be running shit in no time. . .
Good point.
I think I'll send him an internet right now.
I think we should all stop reading TFA and stop searching for "kinderstart" so they don't climb any higher.
Either that or we could all link to them and ruin their case. . .
I think what needs to be pointed out here is this:
The type of asshole who would drive while talking on the phone is the same type of asshole who would probably run into you anyway, phone or no phone.
Some people are just plain bad drivers who don't pay attention.
I for one welcome the phone because it's like putting a huge neon sign on people I should watch out for when I'm driving.
First of all, it's the Second Amendment.
Secondly, criminals don't care about laws - that's what makes them criminals.
Finally, I will not live in a country where the only people allowed to have guns are the police and the military. That's a recipie for disaster.
The Second Amendment is what makes the protection of our other rights possible.
