If he was smart he would of built it upside down. -

It sounds like you're taking a comedy a bit too seriously then.
I also love Futurama

I shake my head in bewilderment at this place, sometimes.
-
There's also a lot of dust clouds and such blocking the view too, which is why we can't easily see them all.

I know they're far apart, but I also know they are all over the place.Originally Posted By: Miramor
Edit: also if you're in hyperspace, you're physically displaced from where the stars all are - just in a direction that can't normally be perceived. Assuming at least that there aren't any stars in hyperspace...
Unless this is some very strange physics thing, this doesn't sound right. Almost like sailing in a straight line around the Earth and not hitting any land masses just because you're traveling ridiculously fast. -
I just realised this today while watching Star Trek, and realised it happens elsewhere to. I find it quite strange when a ship enters hyperspace that it always has, sort of like a "tunnel" through stars and such. You'd think that there'd be something in those ships way.

Oh right. I forgot about that bit. And yes, it looks like Steam just released the Windows version.
-
A wee bit of Necro-age, but this is sort of dragging out bit waiting for the calender and everything. That being said, I'm available most of next week, if not all of it.

I can make stuff out of steel, if that counts.

I just saw this on Facebook, although the price I saw was $4.99.

Hot spicy foods also helps when you're feeling sick through winter. And in general is a good immune supportive.

Is there such thing as solid truth, or it just an ideology that a majority agrees upon?

More than half of those countries do actually grant some voting rights to some non-citizens.
If you ended up with some sort of residency status, you can enroll to vote in Australia, although you don't have to. Once you enroll to vote, you have to vote.Originally Posted By: ξ
You need underlying documentation (a birth certificate, etc.) that people without government-issued photo ID often don't have either. And getting new copies of the underlying documentation does cost money. Usually not very much ($20, maybe?), but enough to be a cost, and it also takes enough time to make it harder to vote.
I have to get all my old ID back since I lost it all while fishing. Plus a new birth certificate. All up I'm looking at a bit over $200 just to replace 2 cards and a piece of paper. -

Oh please, sanity was just a silly gimmick to begin with. -
I thought music in SW games died 15 years ago until I realised thise was intro stuff. Nethergate is the only cool one. All the others are the pretty mucht the same
-
I never really got into the whole real time thing either. Turn based suits me perfectly since I get up quite often to do something else.

Melee can never be overpowered. Ranged weapons on the other hand, well I don't know why Jeff still bothers putting them in. -
I only remembered these ones today. One is more towards my leaning, but the second, everyone here would understand. Again, I can't remember who said the quote, but I heard both off Civ 4.

There is a wee bit of a difference between making something completely from scratch when there's absolutely nothing, and just manipulating you're environment. -

I liked it pretty much as soon as I read it, although I'm not Muslim. -
Another favourite of mine is in my signature. It's from somewhere in the Qu'Ran, although I can't remember from where. I love it especially when it comes to dealing with the sciencey types.

There's two types of engineers. The desk jockeys that sit around and draw stuff all day, and the guys who actually put pus to shove and build it.
Also, being cooped up in an office wouldn't bother me. I know I'd be bored quite easily with it. As for I.T. work, i know some of it probably either blow over my head or I'd get sick of it quite quickly.
England vs San Marino
in General
Posted
I'm confused to whether this is referring to football or soccer.
If England do not win by at least 7 goals ...
What happens if England lose by 7 goals?
Then the tears of Englishmen will surely flood the earth!
I thought this happened already once you guys lost control of the Nord Americas, and then once you couldn't fully control us convicts
