That could apply to a lot of things, and would take up a lot of time and money, the latter either from the people themselves or from the government. It makes more sense to start doing those when it's likely to become an issue.
Have anyone over 60 require a basic test every 3 years, increasing to one every year at 70, to keep their license?
You can't discriminate on age, but feel free to discriminate on abilities that are absolutely necessary to drive/fly safely. It's not hard to rationalize. Also, the machines this article talks about is probably more like a cab or bus, driven by someone somewhat qualified... although I may be wrong. I just looked at the pretty pictures.
New Vegas did give you the option of hunger, thirst and fatigue though. Like a hardmode of sorts. It's not that much more difficult, but you're constantly aware that you need to balance the weight of your little armoury and lootpile with the weight and cost of purified water and healthy food, or spend extra caps for things like radaway. I like it. You also get to mod your weapons, adding silencers or using a different type of ammo (hollowpoint, armourpiercing, cheapo basic stuff... all made at a workbench, using your own repair or science skill.)
True, but everyone knows whether something is a + or - after seeing them in the moderation histories of others a few times. Or they can just guess based on whether a judgement sounds positive or negative.
I'll rephrase it: "They're saying, moderate it something positive (+1 for those with default settings), and give it "funny" as the reason."
Dark energy is some form of "stuff" that is pushing the universe apart, somehow. Saw that in the same show, and I don't know much more about it. And yes, dark energy is about 3/4 of the mass of the known universe, and dark matter is about 80% of the remaining 25%.
By the way, they've built a sensor for dark matter, as it does pass through objects, but not without affecting them with gravity. Which causes the molecules of objects they pass through to vibrate. Heat. And they use that to measure it. They've had some results, but not enough to prove they've found something.... Dark stuff is confusing, and the universe has a damn lot of it.
You have to pick a reason to moderate it. They're saying, moderate it +1, and give it "funny" as the reason. You're being needlessly pedantic, and I'm being offtopic yet informative. And interesting, insightful, funny, underrated and +6 PURE AWESMOE!!!1... Yes. I'm hoping that more people will find this funny than offtopic. *twiddles thumbs*
This one needs a few -1 offtopics and a few more +1 interestings.
I've always found it weird that women are allowed and sometimes even encouraged to hit men, but the other way around would result in a quickly-won lawsuit of assault and battery. It's unfair, it's against the whole idea of feminism (wasn't it all about equality, at one point?), and it just makes me want to smack a bitch. (For certain values of bitch, I.E.: female superiority feminists)
Actually, a lot of things get age verification nowadays, including games with a level of violence that few people actually worry about. Some of us just get used to the idea that an age verification means nothing about the material behind it.
Of course, people who haven't found out about porn yet probably don't even understand why they'd need to verify their age for something on the internet, and just enter stuff, driven by curiosity, until they find the magic age of 18/21 that lets them in.
You may laugh, but I know we all have a few cracks that we definitely do NOT want plugged. I, for one, like having the ability to empty my bowels once in a while.
Hello again, Dr. Freud! How's your research into necrozoöphilia coming along? Oh, it's rather dead? That's what she sa-!... No, I understand. Not funny. I'll let you get back to being dead and all.
They often have some form of financial issue and don't know where else to get the money. Telling them not to won't work. Telling us that they shouldn't do it will reach them even less. And yes, drug addiction soaking up all your money IS a "financial issue" in a way.
The bazooka-fired first aid kit would be a fun addition to many games, anyway. Since you usually don't even need to do anything to pick up items in your path, a first aid kit to the face (fired by a bazooka) would actually heal you.
Absolutely ridiculous triangle counts and shaders that most of us wouldn't even dream of. Of course, they could've made better use of all that, so that people would actually get enthousiastic about it.

Gaining altitude costs energy, but you have less friction and won't need to brake as much as you need to do in a car. Also, hills.

Any electronics would be fried by the magnetic fields in a spectacular way. "Heat seeking" won't work, I think.
And even if you aren't, you just gave someone a foul idea.

Actually, last I heard it was 5 to 1. So those tiny stars and any rocks orbiting them could have a bigger impact on those numbers than you think.

Your whole left arm, eh? Don't you know that sort of thing makes you go blind too? Sheesh.

Never had a bricked Xbox360 or PS3?
Parts still fail nowadays, they just take longer to do so. Usually. That AC's comment is still perfectly justified in modern times.

But wouldn't that cause an infinite loop of telepathy? Our heads would explode!!!
And neither are the lawmakers. I like!

WE ARE THE BASEMENT. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED AS YOU ARE CRUNCHY AND GO WELL WITH NACHO DIP. We prefer the salsa variety, but ANY DIP WILL SUFFICE.
Sorry for the caps. It just doesn't look properly "Borgy" without them. Also, "Borgy". Whut? I think there's a rule34 of that.
That site wrecks any semblance of respect I had for Christians, but it renders fine on Firefox 3.6.9, on Windows XP.
