And that is why art is so great - it is open to different interpretations by everyone. One man's jewel is another man's junk. And all art is "real art" - your opinion of it neither validates nor invalidates that.
You can buy gold and silver with your currency yes. But the Gold and Silver Standards are a thing of the past. You used to be able to bring US currency in, and get a fixed value of gold/silver for it. Now you just have to buy on the open market with fluxuating prices like any other commodity.
And yet somehow, I think I'll still be able to sleep tonight...
I was carrying something to an extreme to make a joke, and point out how some requests are just ridiculous. So lighten up Francis, and don't take things so personally - I don't care if you didn't get the joke, and Blizzard doesn't care if you don't play WOW on Windows. I am here to primarily amuse myself, and if others are also amused in the process, that is just a bonus.
And for the record, your zealotry of telling others they are "wrong" is not amusing to me either.
Why would that make it any easier than the versions of Linux that have been running on Intel hardware for years and years? The Mac is not a magical device...
Yes Blizzard please relase WOW clients for the following platforms I own -
Atari 800
TRS-80
Vic 20
Nintendo Entertainment System
You are losing $$ big time if you don't officially support every platform known to man!!
Everyone knows porting and testing to other platforms is super cheap, easy, and fun!
"That does bring up an interesting question - can it withstand a mine blast?"
Well, considering it is stationary, it would be quite a trick for the enemy to sneak up on it without getting shot, plant a mine UNDER the sentry, and get far enough away that when it detonates, there will be no human injuries. And considering the sentry's ability to track targets at 500 meters, I would think there would be a better way to take these out. That is the biggest problem I can forsee with them being stationary - all you need is some long range artillery to take them out.
The invation wasn't "secret" - the US DEA was helping the Canadian law enforcement in an official capacity. It's not a big deal or a conspiracy - they were just offering them training and probably intelligence gathering techniques. And if the DEA agents are certified with their firearms, I'm sure it is quite legal to bring them into Canada, especially if they are working with the blessing of the Canadian government. I realize it may be harder for Canadian citizens to get conceal and carry permits, but I am guessing that law enforcement agents are allowed, even under the strict conditions.
I know it isn't a coincidence (note spelling) - that is why I stated "That's no coincdence" at the end of my post. Get it now? You seem to forget those 800 people were not kidnapped - they chose to go to Guyana with Jim Jones of their own free will. Now once they got there, some of that "free will" may have vanished, but hey, when you decide to put your faith in religious crazy folks, what did you think was going to happen?? At least they didn't decide to take out as many "non-believers" as they could before the all killed themselves.
So piss away, you are doing a fine job already. Obviously you care, even though nobody will see your AC comments anyways...
Well, actually it was cyanide and Valium, not arsenic...And technically it was Flavor Aid and not Kool-Aid.. And I'd say it turned out pretty well - a bunch of dangerous religious kooks we no longer have to worry about.. And that's no coincidenc?
Yep, it's probably an educated guess. Kind of like when the DEA starts quoting figures about what percentage of drugs they are stopping from entering the US. If they don't know how much they aren't stopping, how the hell can the come up with a percentage of drugs they are stopping??
They can point all the guns they like with the Canadian Authorities approval - they just can't actually "arrest" anybody. I'm sure the US authorities were there because the case involved trafficing into the US. I'm guessing the US DEA has a little more experience with that kind of stuff than the Canadian DEA or equivalent, which was probably the other reason they were involved.
"The Internet is pretty much a consequences-free zone."
I see people that think like this all the time being busted trying to meet 13 year olds for sex on Dateline MSNBC... And anything you do on the internet is as illegal as doing it in the real world - being online isn't like being in "international waters" or anything...
RTFA moron - the FBI didn't arrest anybody in Poland. Nor could they, they only have jurisdiction to arrest in the US. They can assist other countries law enforcement, by I assume, giving them intelligence and information on the subjects. And the USA would extradite anybody that committed a capital crime in Poland - which you could have found out yourself if you would used the minute it took to write your ignornace filled post to actually learn something. I don't know where you are from, but please post so I can avoid your hate-filled ignorant country.
Actually, for its per capita income, Brazil is doing pretty well as far as internet access goes. They are 10th I believe in numbers of people online - ahead of Canada, Mexico and Spain. http://www.c-i-a.com/pr0106.htm
Oops, you forgot to patch your machine and someone used the hole to download the new Brittney Spears song illegally, from your machine. Have fun getting you ass pounded in jail!!
Seriously, if a law like this passed in the US I would have so much fun breaking into people's machines that I don't like and doing all kinds of illegal activities on them so I can send them to jail. Finally, the IT geeks will have their day as lords!!!
Now does anyone know a certain "shoot them in the face" bird hunting VP's IP address???
There is a solution called "local bands". Support your local music scene. Unless you are from Bumfuck, Nowhere there are probably at least a few bands playing small clubs in your area that suck less than the "stadium" acts. And it won't cost you $100+ to see them. And if you think all your local bands suck - start a band that doesn't.

If you are not online, you can just go back to your iPod and go to the iTunes site and..oh...wait...
Well, the request that you lighten up for one apparently...

I think having slave labor helped a bit also...

Yep, I was being funny, you were not.

Wait what was the question again? I missed it because I was too busy playing Wolfenstien 3D on my brand new Vista box.... Damn that robotic Hitler!
