   My parents had one that required you to press time, 1, 0, 0, start, to run it for one minute on the default setting. Each button press has an annoying beep. It makes one loud beep after it finishes, and if you don't open the door in 30

   There's a word for people who think nothing of killing pets, and it's psychopath. Animals are not people, but a pet is emotionally equivalent to someone's child. If they don't see that they belong in prison, not on the p

   I think the solution is to prevent people from playing vs other players until they've won enough games vs bots. There's nothing more annoying than someone who is too lazy to learn the basics before ruining a half-hour game for 9 s

   I like the idea of moral offsetting; making a donation to an equal rights organisation to counter the money you spend on the movie.

   I've seen worse, heard worse, said worse, and am ashamed for you. Nothing anyone says on an online game should be taken seriously.

   I've no objections if people protest with inoffensive chalk messages on a regular basis. OTOH I do find yelling and sign waving pretty annoying.

   Actually I haven't. Alcohol is my drug of choice and now that I think about it, in terms of use is probably the closest thing we have to SOMA.

    I devoured AoCP in three months, Finnegans Wake took a year and a half. I have a compulsive need to finish reading what I start and it just sucked the life out of me. Ulysses is a masterpiece, but I wouldn't recommend Wake to anyone. T

    A patriot is loyal to his country, not his government. It doesn't imply to me any negative impressions along the line you've described.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the #1 criteria for NSA grunt employees is patriotism. If he's prepared to sacrifice everything for his country than he seems to be the perfect candidate to me.

    Lift some weights, 2-3 minutes a day, every day. Eat/drink/do whatever else you want and you will stay fit regardless, because it is about increasing your metabolism and not how much or even what you do, just that you do it every single day

    I'm a little surprised he didn't embrace his celebrity, seems to me like he's missed an opportunity that few get given. The video was funny but not something to be ashamed of IMO.

    I imagine it would be like a computer game, where you only had to simulate the universe from the point of view of the user. This would fit nicely with the Copenhagen interpretation.

    I'd take another look at WoW. Specifically for someone knowing nothing about games, I'd start a disc priest and show her how to queue for and heal in dungeons. It is fun, you are important to the group, but you don't actually need to know a

    Species die out every day, and they will continue to do so with our without our help. That's natural selection. Deliberate genocide is an irrevocable step in theory, but with something as ubiquitous as the mosquito it's unlikely to ever be

    I think it could be done while keeping all 3D model data on the client. I'm picturing something akin to a computer game, where people install the game/tool on their PC. If you've ever created a detailed RPG character, that's what I imagine
