  1. OMG j00 owe 4 da tat! Also, the text, or the background, is too light for the poll results. (What?)
  2. Bok, some toys! 369-pound, 22-inch Woofer "For all you Escalade owners, Navigator drivers, and Hummer crews. For the players who know the game and the VIPs who know where the party's at. Your woofer has arrived." (Because sometimes the best copy of all comes straight from the manufacturer.) $7,500 clickie
  3. Well, it's good to hear that it isn't a blanket issue; still, the first thing to check is the BIOS setting.
  4. That's why police use blue lights.
  5. So, it allows for the linux distro to run DirectX (for example) emulation? Cool. Does it work?
  6. Hmmm, weapons in the home might be a good idea, if we could prevent them from activating outside the home ... "
  7. What if the entire surface of the planet is destroed and no living thing survives except for whats in the vault? If no one is there to jump start the life creation process, how is having this vault usefull? There needs to be some sort of automatic incubation process that would bring the ova to maturity, allow growth of the embrio until a living, breathing human being pops out of a tank or something. If the entire surface of the planet is destroyed, then it's game over, man. (That means the soil is dead.) A much better idea is to populate a planet / moon somewhere else, as per Stephen Hawking's recent observation.
  8. Are you asking us to guess what the evidence was that the police acted on?
  9. Dragon scales are notoriously tough ...
  10. ATi are suspiciously quiet ... I'll be very interested in the first crop of "Vista" motherboards ... they must be about to be released ...
  11. Did you ever run the horse down the mountains really fast? You can actually kill it Yeah, I was most upset when he finally died; after I had run up and down every mountain for hours, he seemed to trip or something and instantly died. Talk about ruining my metagaming mood!
  12. Omega ATi drivers (this is the XP set, will fix an installation bug from previous versions).
  13. Can you put all three cards in at once, though?
  14. ... And Brazilian illegal immigrants.
  15. TRUST NO-ONE!
  16. They could still stock sperm and ova.
  17. Brahman isnt really a non entity. As a monadic, transcendental, universal principle, it isnt empty, zero or a void, but infinite, absolute and all-full. As per Advaita(and also Mahayana Buddhism), it isn't Brahman/Nirvana thats the non entity, but rather the physical universe(Maya/Sunyata) in comparison to Brahman. Brahman is said to be absolutely existent, as opposed to Maya which is relatively existent and ever changing. Brahman is necessary to explain how the mind becomes conscious, and to explain further where the soul comes from, where it goes after liberation and what its nature is. ... Ironic that I can use your own reply to rebut your reply.
  18. The UK, which invented free healthcare at the point of access, is now seriously talking about how to MANAGE the rationing process. That is the current Labour (i.e. left-wing / socialist / etc) government. (It has been one of their sacred cows since its inception after WW2.) Because it is a rationing process. Either the doctors have to ration treatment, or a political organization has to. Because it is not possible to provide universal free healthcare for every illness and injury.
  19. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT SO IMPORTANT THAT I MUST USE ALL CAPS TO EMPHASIZE THE POINT AND HELP DISGUISE THE ALMOST POINTLESSNESS POINT OF IT. Edit: Also, the narrative was supposedly set in the "not-too-distant-future", so a cheque is almost completely anachronistic, anyway ... it'd be a direct funds transfer (and in point of fact it was more a notarized share certificate).
  20. I find your faith in the US brand humans mildly amusing.
  21. I agree with Wals. (Much better.)
  22. it's the American English use of "check" instead of the correct "cheque".
  23. I enjoyed running my horse across mountains ...
