Ive been to Hong Kong a few times but all my stories are about drinking and wenching. I suppose you could take a trip to Stanley Market and check stuff out or perhaps take the ferry to Kowloon Island. Theres also an amusement park some girl took me to. I cant remember much about that except you had to take a cable car to get to it which always scares the poop out of me.- Eagle Scouts returning medals
What you dont seem to get is that they have looked like a biggoted organization since 1910, and again in 2000 when the Supreme Court upheld their rights as a private organization, and again today. They dont care. Private organization get to make the rules and everyone that doesnt like it is free to make their own private organization with whatever rules they like. Lifes a bitch, everyone doesnt have to accept everyone.- Eagle Scouts returning medals
This battle has already been fought to the highest level and lost. There is no further recourse unless the BSA themselves change the rules and they have recently reviewed those rules (since this scout master presented them with some sort of signature sheet) and reaffirmed their stance on the matter. Um, yes?- Eagle Scouts returning medals
Nothing is different from the same "challenge" 12 years ago. People are free to leave for any reason and if they dont like the rules they should just form the Homosexual Scouts of America istead of trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. Chic-Fil-A is also publicly against homosexuality. Dont like it, dont eat their sammiches. Easy.- Eagle Scouts returning medals
You are aware that this case was settled 12 years ago? I dont see a mass exodus happening anytime soon.- Modern society

Why wouldnt they rehire the Engine, Tools, Gameplay, Network and Audio programmers they just laid off?- Shadowrun Returns
Two different companies releasing their vision of the Shadowrun IP? This should work out well. How is it that two companies can work on the same IP at (roughly) the same time?- Pictures of your games

Record-breaking Laser Hits 500 Trillion Watts.- What are you playing now? Part 3'ish
That's a shame, the tutorial is rather lame in that you can't play the way you want to. After that it turns into whatever you want it to. The tutorial was a streamlined version of the rest of the game. It was more on rails, with the player basically having to follow a specific path through the level. The rest of the game tends to give you multiple paths, and multiple ways to approach those paths. It wasnt a case of me being dissatisfied with the tutorials choices, it was a case of raging vertigo. I bought it day one and at that time the mouse pointer was wicked fast (even on the slowest setting. I know its since been patched) and that combined with the first person perspective made me literally dry heave after about 10-15 minutes of play. I think I remember there being a kinda 3/4 perspective but that wasnt any help, which is weird because the 3/4 perspective was fine for me in FO:NV. So I just put it down and never went back.- What are you playing now? Part 3'ish

HP Memristors Will Reinvent Computer Memory- The joys of Philanthropy
That seems really inexpensive for such a prestigious university, for example Harvard costs $38,500 per year for a full time student. I was under the impression that "uni" was free for you guys. Thats obviously not the case but does the government pay a portion and thats why the tuition is so cheap? Are less presigious universities free?- The joys of Philanthropy

Ouya is new player in the console video game wars.- What you did today
Yeah, thats true. I just got my daughter (and myself) an iPhone 4 and it barely impacts my bill. I was too cheap to spring for the 4S, so I got the base 4 from Best Buy for $50 each. Suri can go to hell!- What you did today
