Although it might not provide much extra accuracy, it does make for a nicer looking GUI. That counts for something in todays widget driven environment...
Agreed. Threading isn't especially hard if you think about it first. If you stumble around like a donut then you're going to break thread-safety all over the place. This guy seems very alarmist to me. What's next? Space shuttles considered harmful?
Indeed. I had to give up the fags. I was getting through ten a day. Sometimes up to twenty on a big night out. When I had that many I used to feel really bad when I woke up in the morning. Also lots of people complained about the smelly butts. I think I was desensitized to the smell and never noticed. I never could tell my parents about it either, I always had to have a shower before I saw them in case they could tell. I felt ashamed and I'm glad I quit.
Because the Bushies [think they] have God On Their Side.
Not really. They know that claiming they are humble, god fearing people is the best way to get Middle America to believe that by extension, everything they do is for the better good.
Really the problem you're trying to solve here relates to the style of multiplayer gaming that girls enjoy most. Once you figure it out, I'm sure you'll be happy to fit along with that.
I play Super Mario 3 with my girlfriend since she grew up in Japan playing it with her brother and so it has fond memories of home for her. Often I'll miss a feather or be facing the wrong way to catch the mushroom and she'll shout, "NO!!! Are you stupid?!" hehe. She's super competitive and knows where all the secrets and flute locations - I'm completely the weekest link. I think because she's better than me at this game in particular it's even more fun for her. So, even you are more competent, it's maybe best to let her win sometimes at whatever you play.
I met her best friend on a trip to Osaka recently and she is a counter-strike fan but I'm yet to play against her. I want to practice a bit to avoid more embarrassment...
Might I also suggest that you play single player games together that are easily split into sections or lifes, whichecver ends first. It's more co-operative and less competitive.
If you want to live in some chaotic dystopia where you live in constant danger from someone enforcing their 'rights' on you then do it in your crazy militia ranch. I want to be safe when I go outside, thanks. It's definitely a better place with the rule of law protecting the general public from survival-of the-fittest nuts.
There are certainly nanny-state laws in existence but this clearly isn't one of them. If you want to convince every day people that government interference is bad, then this is clearly the wrong issue to go against.
That's like saying it should be legal to carry around as much morphine or heroin as you like. It's got practical uses in medicine after all. How about explosives? Useful in mining, right?
The law is there to prevent idiots in Phase I - carrying it around, moving deliberately or accidentally to Phase II - actually using it. The same applies (in the UK) to drugs, alcohol (if you're under age), guns, explosives, knifes and other dangerous weapons. Laser pointers should be in there too.
I understand the point you are trying to make about potentially dangerous objects but in my view there just aren't enough legitimate uses for laser pointers of this kind to allow the negative points to be overlooked.
Slashdot Mirror
Depends which country you live in. I'm sure it's quite common in, you know, that really dodgy one.
I dunno, it can hardly we worse than giving a toolbox to the crazies at Geek Squad.
Thanks for explaining that more tactfully than I was about to.

That's a bitch of a commute.

Are you surprised really? Don't you watch the news?
You're comparing Apples and Lemons.
I wish the candidates were wise enough to see that the net result is 0. That's twenty million that could be better used and no-one seems to care.
So how are going to pay for services in a random dark alley?

Yes but last time I checked, putting 3 GPS satelittes into space wasn't an eco-friendly operation.
I hope the gaming suits and executives trying to learn everything the can from Blizzard's business model extend their eduction to this example too.
You're thinking of "Duke Nukem A While Ago"
Mod up parent. If the GP had done even the smallest amount of reading, none of his stupidity needed to be read...
Woohoo! This is a proud day for both gaming and movie making.
I think that should be the other way round.

"Whiney Mac Fanboy" and a Vegan? Why am I not surprised... :)
I think he was talking about you actually...
