Im still playing WoW and will continue to do so until they pry it from my cold dead fingers. Wound up quitting NWN2 after the third update as I just didnt have it in me to start over again and suffer through all the cut scenes. As much as it pains me to say so, I think I no longer enjoy D&D.

^My top two wisdom teeth were are that way.

Sheesh, all you wisdom teeth whiners need to rub some dirt on it and get back in the game. All of my surgeries have been performed while I was in the military. I had my two bottom wisdom teeth out and it was smooth sailing. Also had my right knee operated on twice. They never did get that one right and Im considered 20% disabled. Gets me a nice little mad money check every month.

The Black Dahlia. Okay movie but Im not sure why they bothered with the Black Dahlia case. They had almost every facet of the case wrong and took such ridiculous creative writing liberties they might as well made some fabricated murder and built around that.

Also, if its a CRT you may consider degaussing it.

Where's the other two seats?

Why not. The humand brain does the exact same thing, you just cant see the "code".

So, my better half got me another gig of ram (1 DIMM). My already existing gig was in two DIMM's of 512MB. You know how a mobo has four slots, two blocks of two? Well, each block had one DIMM of 512MB and I was going to move the two 512MB DIMM's to one "block" and put the 1G DIMM in the other block leaving one slot open but alas, my viedo card was in the way of the clip and I was lazy so I just put the 1G DIMM into the spare bottom slot. My question is, does it make a difference? Would the RAM perform better if I put both 512MB DIMM's in the first block and the 1G DIMM in the second or doesnt it matter?

Well, I guess Im the latest casualty of Lady in the Water. Even though the missus fell asleep halfway I soldiered on to the end. I hate myself on the inside for that.

I cant wait for the day my cell phone sues me for damages because I dropped it. What if my phone becomes evil and greedy? Me: "Whoops" *drops Phone* My phone: "Oooow, whiplash!" *ejects some keys for added effect* Me: "OMG, are you alright?" My phone: "You idiot, wtf is the matter with you! Im sueing!" Judge: "Mr. Gfted1, please stand for your verdict." "You have been found guilty of abuse of your phone and must pay it restitution for the repair of its keys. Furthermore you are required to pay for a nice home for this phone where it will rest and rehabilitate." My phone: "Judge! Id also like a restraining order to keep this monster at least 200ft away at all times." Judge: "Motion granted."

Hmm, so why not the same rights for all living things?

Linky Interesting concept, non-living entities being given the same rights as living organisms. Does an sufficiently advanced AI equal "living"? Does "decision making" equal "living"? Why wouldnt animals be given these same rights, because they cannot speak in a language we understand? Your thoughts?

Whats the recoil like? Kicks like a mule?

Yeah, I noticed the box of ammo while I was admiring your tile floor but couldnt read it. You take it out and let 'er rip yet?

What caliber round does that use?

My current work desktop is one I totally stole from one of you last time we had this thread. Its called "Fallen Angel" iirc and shows a cybernetic angel being comforted be a "normal" angel. Would post the pic if I knew how.

IMO, morality exists right up until push comes to shove. Then, quite naturally, survival takes over and people will do whatever it takes to ensure their own.

Wow, Im shocked! I would have easily belived that those percentages could be reversed (76% recidivism). Quick question about Table 2 though, I think Im misreading it. The top category "All sexual offenders" states 24% recidivism at 15 years. Five categories down we have "Offenders with previous sexual convictions..." which shows 37% recidivism at 15 years. Where am I going wrong here?

This coupled with the absurdity of the picture in the subsequent post gave me a hard laugh this morning. The thigh-high leather boots, ouch.

I get the feeling you are more interested in arguing then discussing but Ill bite. Are you more convinced that this is the case? Before you just said you thought it was (which was kind of funny, given the lengthy discourse about wanting proof and citations). What would you like me to provide you proof of, the existance of Methadone clinics or the fact that drug related crimes still exist? Oookaay, you would link a link to a fictional law suit? Fictional, you know, because this service does not exist in the United States so therefore hasent happened yet. Well seeing as there are no clinics to go get free booze, supplied by the govornment, I cannot answer your "what if".

My estimates were calculated purely on the numbers provided in the article Walshingham linked us to about the ex-hooker/junkie who stated approximately $60.00/fix was needed for the habit.

Well, Im sorry to see that you are "narked" but if you expect me to take your "facts" at your word without you providing any sources then most likely any serious discussion you and I have will end in you becoming narked. If you come in and throw random numbers around (that sound absurd to me), I will question you on it. It doesnt mean I dont "get you". Ive read and understood your point, I simply disagree. While that may be true, its beyond the scope of our discussion. You say free drugs is the cure to: 80% of prison overpopulation, organized crime, prostitution, bad breath, etc... Fine. I say free drugs are already readily available and yet these conditionas still exist. What gives? Austin Powers: International Man Of Mysters. Or it could have been Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. I cant remember which. Your not advocating that the junkie hang out on the property until they sober up are you? Now you will need rooms for them, and a nurse/doctor to make sure they dont drown in their own vomit. Oh, and dont forget the niceties such as bathrooms and the people to keep all this all running. Better be careful or your sub $60 heroin habit is going to quickly spiral out of control.

Nice sidestep. I think you know I not talking about the perp, but the victims. Its already on the books that a victim or their family may sue an establisment or private citizen because they "over served" a person that later commited a vehicular crime due to intoxication. Now, lets take it a step futher. Little Johnny's family is righfully enraged that some fool who just got high at The Govornment Smack Institute ran over little Johnny while he was out playing with little Sally. They, using the tools already at their disposal, sue the govornment for 1 BILLION DOLLARS. Now multiply this by the number of times it happens. I think we all see where this is going.

Who says it hasn't? Well, obviously it hasnt since we're so vigorously discussing what a pancea "free drugs" would be.

Err, we're talking about the prospect of providing these drugs to drug addicts, through government channels. Just now you decide to bring this up? Besides, you make it sound like heroin would become available at your local drugstore. I dunno, I just thought of it. What does the timing of the question have to do with anything? Another point I brought up earlier in the thread got lost in the discussion. I think methodone clinics are available in every major city that, afaik, give the stuff away. Why hasnt this "taken a bite out of crime"?
