Obsidian debates -1
I'd need to read the original article but, it seems to me they are arguing over semantics. That time is the order of events seems to me tautological and, in any case, doesn't go against the notion of time as a 4th dimension.

Indeed it does.

Um, in what way was his statement silly? His statement: "Also, Einstein thought gravity was a constant, which is complete hogwash. Mass is just a variable as everything else." First, his statement implies that the modern possibility of gravity not being constant is due to the variability of mass. This is not true and does not make sense. Secondly, even considering the hypothesis of the gravitational constant depending on the particles involved, it's still a theory that hasn't been experimentally verified and so, as such, does not turn the notion of the gravitational constant being, well, constant, into "complete hogwash."

Hold the facepalm, bro. There are plenty of people way more educated than me who are thinking along the same lines, for instance I'm sorry but your original statement is still very silly.

Bin Laden is dead
I'm not really into the whole revenge aspect of this. I am relieved. I wish there was a better way to deal with a truly disturbed and violent individual like this, but I think most of those ways are unrealistic. For example, the best way for this situation to be resolved is for the millions of Muslims in this world to stand up against people like Osama Bin Laden who pervert the message of Islam. But unfortunately there is still too much divisiveness even among the moderates in the Muslim community. Bin Laden, while at least partially responsible for many acts of terrorism was not a lone serial killer. He was part of a large, organized group of violent people with huge chips on their shoulders regarding western civilization. Eliminating Bin Laden achieved nothing in terms of curbing future terrorist attacks. The Muslim Brotherhood is a huge organization with millions poured into their coffers regularly that isn't going to be stopped by killing any specific individual. Your average Muslims are being routinely stepped on by the US backed and completely corrupt Saudi royal family while, concurrently, fundamentalist Muslim schools (AKA terrorist schooling and recruitment centers) are being bankrolled by the same royals in order to keep the Wahhabis from rebelling. Not exactly a recipe to stop terrorism. All killing Bin Laden did was give a boost to the current US administration popularity at home, and make most Americans a bit happier.

I didn't, Nepenthe did and Raithe screwed up the quote. Edit: Fixed it.

Bin Laden is dead
Just to really throw some fuel on the bonfire then.. I could say that one of the few good things to come out of 9/11 was that a whole heap of Americans suddenly stopped giving money to the IRA. They kept giving money to the Wahhabis and the Muslim Brotherhood, though.

Bin Laden is dead
This sort of discussions on righteous revenge always make me wonder who, here, professes to be a Christian or subscribes to Christian values.

Videogames to be presented in Smithsonian art exhibit
The categories are more than a bit arguable, and they weren't consistent in applying them. Shoddy work if you ask me.

Considering Reinhart is much older than the rest of the characters, how does he fit into the whole orphans collected by Odo thing?

New Game+
What a ****ty and uninspiring name for such a game mode. I hope you are just borrowing that 'term' from someone else and didn't coin it yourself, because if you did you should be shot. It was called that in Chrono Trigger, the game that popularized the mode. I can see you're being all cheery today.

Can we finally get the real deal on online multiplayer
If it wasn't for Dungeon Siege 3, I would never have realised that the original games had much of a fanbase. As I remember it, developers only hyped the snazzy graphics, the lack of loading screens and the pack mule. And then it came out and practically played itself, which made people call the game a glorified screensaver.

Movies you've seen recently
Mkreku spent the new year in Ukraine, I think. He even posted pictures of the lady.

BELTANE: Celebration of May Day
It's possible, but in my experience cabbage soup produces incredible flatulence. So best to get the sex done before the soup. Unless you find a particularly earthy partner. And I thought incredible flatulence led to incredible sex. Why don't I ever learn...

New Game+
In any case, Obsidian would probably call it Heart of Fury mode. If there was such a mode.

Yes, a flammable substance inside a very hot computer would a great idea.

Can't I have cabbage soup, mead, ballet and sex at the same time?
