Yes, run into a building without checking, running down the middle of the street, and shooting everything that moves is teaching me how to use military tactics.
So what if they manage to give more complex controls. Maybe the ability to parse a letter that you think about or a word you focus on.
What if they could read you mind......
If you wear a tinfoil hat you now have my deepest sympathy.
Now imagine running around in a 3d videogame with this, you have a small pair of lightwieght glasses(not goggles, glasses, i mean the size of a pair of oakleys). Now imagine a good set of headphones. Now imagine you just think about running forward.
Certain things are worth dying for, certain things are worth fighting for that is the point of the quote. Some people realize that, most people never have to make that choice, your life for someone elses, your life for a cause. You may never be faced with dying for something. If you do then you have my respect, if you die may the cause be worthy of your sacrifice, if you don't then may that choice not haunt you till you die.
I never said we should have been in Iraq in the first place. However we need to fix what we broke. Our country did something, maybe you didn't read the fine print, in a deomocracy even the minority has to deal with the consequences of the winners actions. Did i vote for Bush? no. You don't like it? There are other places you can live? You can come back once everything is back to the clean wonderful little heaven you want it to be.
You don't know who I am, you don't know where i have been. You don't know what i have seen. You can make the same claim.
Really? So supporting a goverment that respects the rights of all people everywhere, allows them to voice their opinions, and gives them a stable place to live is immoral? Well damn, whats the point of a country then, I can't love the ideals that i hoped my country might one day achieve and still be a person who lives my life by a moral code because i can and not because i might be arrested for breaking the law?
Who did I say was selfless? Who did i say wasn't selfless. Is a rich guy being selfless when he gives away 1% of his 300$ billion fortune to the poor? "I gave him some money, what more can i do?" Damn, i must be the most charitable bastard in the world, hell where the fuck is my medal ive done all the "selfless" things you mentioned.
Selfless is doing something for someone else without thought for ones own well being. Does it have to happen in a warzone? No. Does it have to happen in a violent situation? No.
You are assuming all wars are fought for the wrong reasons. Did i ever say that Iraq was an okay situation? Once again you put words in my mouth. Its been about 60 years since we fought in a war that one could say was "just" or for the protection of freedom. Rape is never justified or justifiable. When an enemy army decides to out of the blue destroy one of your bases killing hundreds with no decleration of war, you are justified with retaliating.
I never said you couldn't call them idiots, hell the way everything is going i might have to join you at some point.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
-John Stuart Mill
Someone who believes that nothing is worth more than they are is pathetic. If you cannont find something or someone you would be willing to trade your your short stint on this earth to protect then you have my sympathy, for you must live a shallow and miserable life.
We all know can and will be an idiot sometimes, i don't like most of the stuff he has put out.
For fucks sake we have already heard the same "Bush " a thousand fucking times. We don't need to hear it again EVERY FUCKING ARTICLE. WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF PREACHING TO YOUR REPECTIVE CHOIRS?
A goverment that does not serve and fear its people is a broken goverment and should be replaced. Without the right too bear arms to goverment would NEVER have to fear the people. The people would never have the ability to remove the goverment.
Well I knew that, you need tritium and dueterium for a fussion weapon, just curious though would a fissile (misfired) fusion detonation still be in the megaton range?
Wow, we can't discuss the article and what good could come of it, we ahve to immediatly start politician bashing. Hey lets just stop submiting articles to/. instead why don't we just put a article on the front page that says "George W. Bush. DISCUSS!"
We would get rid of all these useless interesting topics about technology and we could all just bitch with reckless abandon about our favorite politician.
I mean FUCKING HELL. If any other president had said this most of you asshats would be having fucking orgasam on the spot.
I don't support the iraq war, but people have the right to think differently, maybe you need to stop assuming everyone is out for their own self some people are selfless be thet far and few bettween.

They may believe in a stable Iraq. We fucked it up, we need to fix it.
Feel free to make fun of me but couldn't that have already happened? The time dilation+the huge distance mean that it would take a very very long for anything to get to us. No force or particle can travel faster than light.
(I've gotten really cocky since i started reading the elegant universe so feel free to deride my small intellect.)
Now i can set up that moisture farm on ta..............
These aren't the droids your looking for.
OH SNAP
My life just flashed before my eyes in a 6 part trilogy. (Yes a trilogy)
I never said it hurt the industry financialy. Hell they help the industry in taht respect. I've never been left behind by a company.
EA has been going down in quality, hell I loved BF42, I liked BF2 but ive gotten to the point where I'm constantly frustrated by EA's games.
So i stopped buying them.

oh god... im gonna be sick.
I've only gotten to play the demo so far, so 1v1. I near the end of defcon 2 i send fighters out and find the silos, by then my bombers tend to reach enemy land, the AA is tied up on the massive number of fighters and my bombers launch nukes so close to teh target that i can hit most of their silos with 3 nukes. The moment they lanch a nuke my subs hit thier silos, then i retreat. I might lose one or 2 cities, but usually less. If my subs survive , i lose some to fighters, they come back in around the time my icbms are about to hit and i launch 1 on each radar and airbase i can find. Then i line up all my stuff on my coast lines and hope for the best. I use the bombers to hit the rest of their cities.
Now in game with 3+ people, that won't work as well.
Many people know what MAD means. However they can't quite graps WHAT it means. Defcon can kind of show you that. When it announces a"winner" it almost feel sarcastic to me. Then you look at your casualties.

Wow a group of people not being power hungry bastards? Maybe some people want to make the world a better place not give themself power.

Sorry.
WOOHOO! I said something about science that made sense. cough.
Now this is interesting.

I bet it has sommething to do with the dye used in the shells for those 2 colors.

Of course, the energy to start a fusion reaction would need to be greater than that which is in a sub kiliton fission device.
God it would clean this place up a bit.
Did i ever say i liked Bush?
/rant
Did I ever say I think he is right?
Fuck, did i EVER SAY YOU SHOULD FUCKING LIKE HIM?
NO!
We all know can and will be an idiot sometimes, i don't like most of the stuff he has put out.
For fucks sake we have already heard the same "Bush " a thousand fucking times. We don't need to hear it again EVERY FUCKING ARTICLE. WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF PREACHING TO YOUR REPECTIVE CHOIRS?
I plead the second damnit.
A goverment that does not serve and fear its people is a broken goverment and should be replaced. Without the right too bear arms to goverment would NEVER have to fear the people. The people would never have the ability to remove the goverment.

So it wasn't a fusion device, just a plain old Nuke?
I am probably one of few, but i like to go back and play FS:GW and FS2. Then it would be tribes1 and 2 then it would be quake2.
Feel free to make fun of me but couldn't that have already happened? The time dilation+the huge distance mean that it would take a very very long for anything to get to us. No force or particle can travel faster than light.

If EA got UBI i would cry. EA already controls so damn much and it hurts the industry already, we don't need more EA.
That helped me a little bit.
