To think you would wind up missing that. No seriously, they can't do this with another narrator. It just would't be Max Payne in anything but name, but maybe that's exactly the point. Its like one of those crappy games made on a movie where they spent all the money buying the licence and shat the game out as an afterthought.

Jesus. What where they thinking.

I just recently discovered a few Japanese television stations which also broadcast live streams, and was wondering if anyone knew the best way to save streaming content. No idea of the format or codec, although I know it's not realplayer because I haven't got that giant pile of spam installed on my computer, and I can see the streams fine, although 2-3 second long pauses are pretty frequent.

That wasn't aimed at you exclusively, I sorta lost track of where I was in the discussion when I was writing it.

You keep pointing out that life in prison is worse than death. That's a value judgement as well surely, and not one you are qualified to make unless you have actually been imprisoned. I'd wager if you asked a condemned man if he would rather wait until tomorrow to have his sentence carried out, and kept asking him that same question, that he would live to be 100.

Yeah but getting there is more than half the fun. Trucking my shipment of ore from one end of the system to another in my slow cargo ship while under constant attack from pirates was fun, well the first time, then you just get annoyed that your convoys seem to get stuck constantly without constant supervision.

Cats are fine if you live somewhere where you can let them out to roam. A cat trapped in an apartment all the time, I just don't think that's fair to the creature. and I don't particularly enjoy having an open air toilet stinking up the place.

Depends on whether it involves some assembly, then it might not have been fitted, or whether it just sticks out the back somewhere.

Practically all the dogs I've had have been Labrador crosses. They train really well which is a blessing because you can let them off the leash in wild patches.

Blahh. Multilplayer co-op is a good idea, but why has it got to be all Mmorphegers all the time now.

The main story is a bit too short but pretty well paced. All the side stuff gets boring after a while anyway, and that's what all the mods deal with, hey it really is Oblivion in space, Although undoubtedly better. I wish I still had it lying around. Can it even play on a vista or xp system. Multilayer is a bit moot now isn't it, must have gone the way of the dinosaur a long time ago.

Oblivion in space. Sorry I've got nothing.

Gorth's doing, all of it.

I dunno, doesn't it seem a bit excessive to be celebrating one particular battle, or rather series of. How about celebrating the end of the war instead.

Are we there yet.

I'm done complaining now, you can have it back.

Nonsense, it's the medical term, and it was not used as an expletive. You just like your buttons a bit more than the other mods, isn't that where we are really at. Words can be offensive, but that goes for excessive meddling as well.

Chess is about what happens two or three moves ahead, which you never fully understand, barring being a genius. That's it in a nutshell.

I have a hard time imagining such a study would not be meandering around in conjecture. How do you accurately assess how many innocent people have been executed. What would be the balance, people who were at one time convicted of a capital offense but were released only to kill again. Philosophically speaking I think justice, when we are talking about deciding the life or death of someone, should aspire to something more than 'good enough' and not be prepared to accept any margin of error as the cost of doing business. I am also more offended by an innocent man executed than a repeat murderer.

Well it has already been posited that systemic errors are inevitable, and that the death penalty logically is irreversible. Also there are the aforementioned extra legal motivations to affect the system, whether those effects are subtle or just serve as a brutal reminder of what happens if you attempt to rebel against the established order. Fine, so, the death penalty is not always wrong, but the system which governs it isn't perfect either. That being the case the final verdict of whether to have such as system or not has to be a resounding 'no'.

I suppose you might say that because of the Nazi ban Germany has become too accustomed to banning things for its own good.

awesome

Well lets not sell ourselves too short, we are certainly better than the barbarians who still kill their own citizens. The death penalty is at the most scary when used to send a political or popular message and is no longer only about individual cases. In China for instance it underpins a one party dictatorship, in the US it's more of a vote magnet to reign in the right wing reactionaries. The governor of such and such had this many executions during his term, what a man, tough on crime.

**** a dirty word.... who would have thunk. What's the PC version I wonder.

I'd wager the complaint would go in the same pile as the **** enlargement emails. Police haven't got time to investigate internet scams.
