  1. Really? Always seemed annoying to me. Pitchshifter Nine Inch Nails Grendel
  2. Xenomorph
  3. Motor oil, from the taste in my mouth right now. Most likely Motomaster Formula1 5W30
  4. Yeah....Gloucester Center, between the grocery store and Silver City. About a ten minute walk from my office. The Bell guys doing our VoIP system paid for it.
  5. Free club sandwich and Rickard's White from Moxie's. And the scenery.
  6. Eviscerate. I don't know why.
  7. There's no excuse for such a crappy alteration of a Pink Floyd classic either. Bad form, Pearl Jam.
  8. OOh, production. Look who's got the business IT lingo goin' on. Agree, though. No Vista until the first service pack.
  9. Maybe not. A different issue, though. I dunno....we do have lines for things like MRIs, but uh...not the cliche image of a soviet gulag food queue.
  10. No cake for the impurator.
  11. John Murphy - In The House In A Heartbeat (28 Days Later OST)
  12. "While it would be nice if we could set up deceptions to fool people into the Church, and I suspect it's been tried... I doubt the value of it long term. We would have a bunch of people in the Church who are gullible." - Woody Brison, alt.religion.mormon, 2007-Sep-16 ------ "My pastor says all scientists are under the influence of Satan to some degree. Science has never produced anything good for people, it has brought us only sorrow. Go to a Baptist church and you will be happy again. And pure. " - Fisher, Yahoo! Answers, 2007-Sep-15
  13. The police also know that they're heavily, heavily outnumbered by an angry and yes, sometimes violent, mob. I'd be a bit on edge too. You can't blame the cops for everything, all the time.
  14. They better not screw this up, or I'll ruin the earth.

    Retro video games? For the better, perhaps. But yeah, the topic is drifting.
  16. Also: You may want to work on getting women paid as much as men before you worry about the paycheques of their tiny spawn.
  17. Yes, yes, when you throw around words like "oppression" and "liberation" it all sounds like a very noble and lofty crusade, like a revolutionary greeting card. But the fact is that it wouldn't work. For exactly the same reasons that a movement of pacifists is doomed to fail. The system is already in place. You would need to wipe out the human race and start from scratch with very specific controls on the development of their new society to even BEGIN to make children 'equal' to mature humans. And those very guidelines would be the control and oppression you're railing against here to begin with. Even in nature, you'll find a couple of instances: 1: creatures which care for (I'm sorry, brutally dominate) their young until they are large enough and have gained enough experience to survive on their own. 2: creatures which just have hundreds or thousands of young so that a few will survive by pure chance. Humans, I think it's obvious, belong to the former group. You're talking about further severing that natural relationship. It exists for a reason. This isn't some vast conspiracy of mammals who get off on dictating their offspring's every action. Now, some of what you're saying here is fine with me. Sure, get an abortion, I don't care. Fine, refuse to take medication. If they're willing to accept responsibility for the consequences, then I have no beef. Vote? Have to work on that one, but with a heavily revamped education system, maybe. Bottom line. I'm not saying the current system is perfect. I'm saying it exists, in a way that your egaitarian utopia never can. Universal equality is impractical. It doesn't exist. It can't. It won't. If you want to eliminate control of children, you'll need to eliminate the children.

    They are. Worms Armageddon was fun, not sure if I've played the others. I played Gunbound randomly for a while, but I was never much good at it.
  19. Thank you. Wyatt Earp, for like the fifth time in a few weeks. AMC is a good station, but they just play the same three movies for a month at a time.
  20. shifty eyes

    Yeah, then it's Vertical. I was thinking of it the other way around.
  22. Sparq

    2007

    Yeah, maybe. I may also be mixing them up, depending how the creator thought of vertical and horizontal.

    Horizontal guidance for the win.
