  1. Ahh, different audio. Wery interesting.
  2. No no, it's cool. At night I fight evil. Well, if I'm up to it. Y'know, not too busy studying or hanging out.
  3. As a student I was living off about $12,000 a year for 6 years. God, I'm going to miss those days. Maybe I should continue to live in efficiencies.
  4. When I get home, I'm going to play more Persona 3. I'm going to try to score with the Student Council treasurer. Then, after that I'm dumping her to try to score with the Kendo team manager. After her it'll be a toss up between the Yukari and the Student Class President. It'll depend on what's higher, my intelligence or my charm. I don't know that I'll even try to get far with Yuuka. It's kind of a turn off that my bravery has to be badass to even want to try helping her with her cooking to start off the whole thing.
  5. Obsidian bought out Crystal Dynamics?
  6. uh, no, read the constitution. there's an "out clause" on the habeas corpus concept in which habeas corpus can be suspended "when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it." clearly anyone participating in terrorist acts against the US, particularly on foreign soil, is committing not just treason, but an act of rebellion. habeas corpus is not an absolute right, which is where you seem to be misled. the same can be said for freedom of speech: not all speech is protected, like it or not. he's right, face it, you're wrong. taks Both rebellion and invasion are instances where the system may be too busy. A handful of citizens do not require the suspension for public safety. Public safety isn't helped in the least by that. Nobody's saying it's absolute, just like I wasn't speaking specifically of Guantanamo, just like I wasn't speaking anything about wiretapping. But it's inherent except in extreme cases where it's not feasible. This is not one of those times. Even the bill of rights are not a absolute, so claiming that it's simply not absolute is irrelevant, it's merely academic. not taks
  7. I'm kind of dissapointed that NWN2 runs worse than Bioshock does on this computer. I'm really hoping that they get some serious optimization done with this expansion.
  8. I'd really like to know how the hell is it that they think they can get away with that. They can get away with it because using die rolls for to-hit is an RPG convention. It may be awkward to do it from a first-person perspective, but oh well.
  9. It's exactly like the Gameshark. Previous iterations even used the same values for codes. I read that action replay is encrypting their's now so that they don't.
  10. This caused me to laugh myself silly and tears to stream down my face.
  11. Nooooo! You're out of the family! After everything that you're mother and I went through you're going to be a hippy? Good luck.
  12. WHAT?! But, you two are only kids. This is madness.

  13. I liked to bike and walk at my college. We had a mini-downtown across the street. By that I mean bars. Plenty of walking distance housing and food, as well.
  14. Apparently Krookie says you two aren't friends. What do you say to that?

  15. Could at my college. I had a car.
  16. How is it joyful to have a manic depressive roommate that is noisily up all night and constantly drinking your Mountain Dew? How is it fun to spend 2 hours trying to find a parking space, missing half your first class of the day because the only open space is more than 2 miles away?!?!? Even I never had those problems. In fact, if it weren't for one of my short term roommates, I would most definitely not be here. He introduced me to Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Aliens vs. Predator 2 and, with those, brought me back into computer gaming. Which led to me getting a computer. Finding out about the campus Counter-Strike server. Making me a regular at my first message board. Going to LAN parties. The landslide of fun has never ended!
  17. So, let's get this straight. There were U.S citizens detained in Guantanamo. But because they're classified as POWs, they don't get habeas corpus. Is that what you're supporting? How is he correct?
  18. Krookie, I think your friend is inebriated.

  19. Hahahahaha.

    No.

  20. Madness. My apartment was cheap and perfect!
  21. The discussion about habeas corpus had towards Guantanamo was never implied to be related to the Geneva Convention. The Supreme Court extended to them that right. Congress turned around and passed a law that stripped federal courts of the authority to hear it. The Senate Judiciary Committee invited him to speak to them, presumably in regards to this, where he said to them that "The Constitution doesn't say every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas.'' If anything, bringing up Guantanamo is the mostly irrelevant point as the controversy most explicitly comes from that the man was speaking of citizens of the United States. not taks
  22. I had and still have a Dreamcast. Didn't have it at college my second year (storage). But, interestingly I've heard a much worse story about an original Xbox. An apartment caught fire, the firemen came and doused the place in water. They dried it out, worked fine.
  23. A conundrum that seeks resolution, not exploitation. Simply because one's classification is in limbo does not mean they are without rights. The Constitution and Geneva Convention should be looked at as precedents for the rights of people in general, not something to be avoided when possible and convenient. Now, I'm not to say Gonzales was in support of depriving human rights when convenient, well actually I did pretty much say that earlier. However, after looking into the contexts a little more, I've only moved back to suspicious. I find this a most interesting excerpt: Gonzales: I meant by that comment, the Constitution doesn't say every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right to habeas. As he speaks explicitly of citizens. Was his comment merely one of being an academic argument over the wording or was he actually trying to make an argument for a point?
  24. I have difficulty understanding the claim that the FBI is behaving for votes.
