  1. hehe, not quite. it's 56 m^2 = sqrt(56) m x sqrt(56) m = 7.48 m x 7.48 m = 24.56 ft x 24.56 ft = 603 sq. ft. oof. taks D'oh! Thanks.
  2. Isnt Win7 a derivative of Vista? Meaning, its still a much larger resource hog than XP? Does it have some super wamadyne features over XP?
  3. Well he used square feet. So lemme see here, 56 meters square = 3136 square meters = 10,035 square feet? That cant be right either...
  4. Whaaaa? Is this a typo? 56 square feet is like a 10 x 5 room. The smallest bedroom in my house is bigger then that but thats your ENTIRE apartment? And it costs about the same as my mortgage!
  5. In the trailer, they show a white shirtless guy with tattoo's on his back thats able to teleport around while laying roundhouse kicks about the place. Who is he? The character, not the actor.
  6. Maybe its.....The Happening! Also, I didnt know Shyamalan produced The Last Airbender. I loved that cartoon and watched the entire series.
  7. Yeah, but what we have to remember is that were just the vocal minority. Whats the old saying, for every roach you see there are 100 you dont see. Thats us, were the roaches. For every poster you see there are 100 that dont post/care. Add up every poster on every Fallout board and what do you have? Maybe 300 active posters? And FO sold MILLIONS of copies. So, at the end of the day, while it appears a large group of us are in agreement the end result is far different.
  8. Wow, you guys are piling the self righteous BS knee deep in here.
  9. Got my new main hand weapon. I like the new Armory layout too.
  10. Ive often thought of that too but usually when a near miss goes in my favor. Good luck GD and hopefully you can retire/take it easy off the settlement.
  11. I dunno, food and housing are pretty essential to life.
  12. My objections to UHC is not that people will get healhcare, its that Ill be on the hook to pay for it. While I can appreciate the beauty that each special snowflake of a person brings to the table, its just not my problem to make sure John Smith get medical insurance, its John Smiths problem. Its almost certainly a culteral thing where social programs that hold your hand from cradle to grave are the norm on your side of the Atlantic even moreso than here. Im curious where you would draw the line. Should everything be free IYO? Should that bum on the corner get a free house? No? Why not? Same stuff, different name. Food should be free to right? Everyones gotta eat after all. Theres programs for: Medical Dental Unemployment Drug use College Housing (?) Push come to should, could you literally live you life free of charge in the UK if you work the system enough?
  13. Whaaaaaa? $200.00 a week comes to $3,200.00 over the course of a 16 week season? Thats gotta be a misprint, you can make more at McDonalds. At that rate he would have to play for 31.25 seasons just to pay off the freaking Humane Society "donation", or as I like to call it, extortion.
  14. 1) People who dont have private healthcare dont have it because they cant afford it. Now you want to force them to afford it? I doubt too many people are uninsured because they cant be arsed. 2) Huh? Worrying is free.
  15. How else would it be financed? Thats why countries with socialist programs pay upwards of 60% taxes. Point a) Americans spends as much tax money per capita on healthcare as the 'socialist' (lol) democracies (mainly Scandinavia) anyway,so moot point. Point b) Australia spends less tax money per capita on healthcare than America and has roughly the same taxation level, so again, moot point. a UHS implementation in the US will result in a dramatic increase in my taxes to pay for it. No it won't. Oh, okay, since you say so.... Meanwhile, why dont you review this article on Wisconsin's UHC system from two years ago.
  16. Too Long Didnt Read
  17. Sounds like it was a good time. Also, you broke the intarweb.
  18. I recently acquired their G1 Android and its the shiznit.

    TV: Heroes

    Wow, I thought that was an excellent ending. Also, wtf, Nikki is back again!?!? Cant keep that girl down! EDIT: Oh, and the
  20. How else would it be financed? Thats why countries with socialist programs pay upwards of 60% taxes.

Point b) Australia spends less tax money per capita on healthcare than America and has roughly the same taxation level, so again, moot point. Ill be honest here, I dont understand your point. Regardless of what happens in Scandinavia and Australia (lol), a UHS implementation in the US will result in a dramatic increase in my taxes to pay for it.
  21. How else would it be financed? Thats why countries with socialist programs pay upwards of 60% taxes. Maybe Im just a selfish SOB but I loathe the idea of my hard work paying for someone elses stuff. Where half or better of the monies I earned to take care of MY family are taken away from me without choice to pay for some other schlub? No thanks.
  22. MC, I know you have a vested interest and I dont mean this to belittle the situation you went through but again, why is that my problem? I can link you to hundreds of sad cases and while I agree they are sad that doesnt mean I want to take away from my family to raise your family (not you). Yay, nice cheap shot. 1) Who cant afford school K-12? Its free. 2) You do pay for fire departments in your State/city taxes. 3) The same Social Security you pay into with the expectation of getting your money back when you retire? 4) Both. Not only can we not affors to pay for 300+ million people I dont feel I should be forced to.
