The army is all about rules and regulations so you could say it goes with the territory. It might affect recruitment in the long run but this is the way of the world now, no smoking in bars, public places, hell the only (legal) place left is in my apartment. Don't meet my smoker friends in cafes anymore, they can't have their poison. The second hand smoking complaint is genuine, but out in the open, come on.

uhh apparently the NY times don't allow remote linking. Anyway google 'Weyco smoking ban'

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/08/business/08smoking.html I believe the standard answer to this story is that people are perfectly free not to join the company and therefore it's health care plans don't infringe on individual liberty. I Imagine Obama is considering the army ban for much the same reason as Weyco. I smoke myself, and yet I can understand why it's being considered. It would save money in the long run, and I believe the US army already has 'socialized' medical care.

How many percent chance of spontaneous death again.

I like the smug look on Zarkosi(sp?)

About the trials though, I seriously doubt anyone would come away clean if an army of investigators dig into your past life looking for ammunition to weaken you as a witness.

The really awful thing about pedophilia or related accusations like sexual harassment, they generally stick permanently even if they aren't true.

I don't remember what priests get the two hander, but I dualed one to weapon master. Was kinda hard because every single feat was already spoken for (priests hardly get any and are starved for skill points as well) and would not be really useful until I was ready to switch. Overall I was quite pleased with the result. Doing that with a scythe instead should pack quite the punch, they have the highest combination of critical ranges and multipliers. Whatever your build do yourself a favor and cheat yourself a pile of XP on a trial character, and then walk your guy through the levels, making sure everything pans out the way you planned.

I felt the urge to jump in. These questions and their explanations seem lacking, but the arrogant atheists at least take them on face value rather than dismissing them outright with some mumbo jumbo about there 'being more between heaven and earth'. If god exists why does he have to be so timid about it, seems like he could settle the dispute in a day, perhaps by coming to earth and holding a seminar. Think of the implications for philosophy. He can't be 'too busy', he's omnipresent and omnipotent, the usual rules of space-time don't apply.

Singing or performing is laying yourself bare in a much more fundamental fashion, I don't do either, I salute your courage.

These kinds of things have never bothered me, well singing in front of a crowd would bother me, but thats because I don't know how. Gennerally speaking though, I just don't have any shame and am ruthlessly direct in anything I do, it does come back to bite me ever so often.

Going tomorrow I think.

I hear 'an historic' quite often on the news. More often than the correct usage I'd say. Some people get confused when historic is used premodifying a noun, but it still isn't 'an historic occasion'.

I do that all the time, also cursing in English has very few negative connotations, among Danish people at least no matter how vile it is if it's said in English it loses most of it's semantic load. As long as it doesn't stop you from learning your mother tounge properly I don't see the need to play language police. It's much more preferable to be naturally curious than to be conservative about language use, just IMHO.

The rancor level was pleasingly high.

Hitler was a vegitarian

Watchmen. I thought it was awesome, haven't read the comic so I have nothing to hold it up against.

I mostly believe he is guilty because he chose not to fight the allegations, but I have a small lingering doubt that the parents were indeed gold diggers and manipulated questionable behavior, I mean who hangs out with kids whose parents one barely knows, into a crime. It would be pretty terrible if he had his life and what remained of his sanity ruined in this way.

After I fiddled a bit with the settings, I take it back, it sounds a lot better than my creative player. The extra output means it sounds like you plugged your headphones into a proper stereo. One silly decision though. Instead of a lock switch it locks automatically after a few seconds meaning you press the lock off button constantly while browsing the player, it's even active while you play tetris. Brainfart that. The Pigeon English in the menus is funny though. 'Upgradable the player now'. Mkay...

So far it can play anything I throw at it, except .flv files. The sample .flv files on it play just fine though. Firmware issue maybe. I could just convert them but that takes time. Sound is just as good as my creative player, It can even play a little louder, 19mw. (what is that, mini watt ?) on each channel. It's cheaper, has a bigger screen, more battery life and can play FlAC and .ogg files. I'm pretty happy with it.

Also, what is a bazillion times more impressive than 'photo realistic' ? You guessed it, line drawings with style and soul.

Well fair enough. http://jimsmash.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-g...nd-tracing.html Practically everybody uses some kind of reference, but this, it's more like embellishment than original work, how can you make an entire story that way, must be enormously time consuming, and you are pretty much limited to what you can find an already existing picture of. Lols. Wheres the porn.

In order to enjoy more fun from your media player and make it to be your pocket fairy, please take attention under below: 1.As lithium polymer buttery is used in our machine, so please keep the charging time in 4-7 hours after it be under activation for extending it

Well it's a lot bigger than I expected, video watching might improve I guess, but I can't imagine ever viewing anything on a palm sized screen, other than I dunno, long commutes, but isen't that what netbooks are for. The battery is necessarily bigger because of the screen requirements which is a bonus. I suppose on the upside it can handle Youtube and other streamed formats. It comes with TV out and stereo hookup cables, which is handy for parties, and a compulsory set of crappy earplugs, data cable, the wolds smallest detachable speakers, and a recharger (some players aren't sold with a popper charger and if the battery is full out they won't recharge on a USB cable) I can't do much with it for now since the battery requires a full 12 hours on first charge. I suppose using the charger might be a lot faster, but the manual with its humorously Chinese English doesn't mention it one way or the other.

My Hacha arrived just now, I'll let you know what I think of it in a few hours. Usually Chinese made doesn't scream competence, but I've heard enough good about the player not to be swayed by preconceptions.
