Because they don't fit with most decor, and people rarely use them to kill anymore. Why do you insist on discounting without any consideration any evidence I provide in an argument, without providing any counter-evidence?

Who needs a "devil-may-care" attitude when you have pizza?

Granted, but then you realize that conflict started because of the actions of the Palestinians, not the Israelites, and it drives you insane. I wish people would quit using the moronic argument of "provide proof or it can't possibly be" whenever something is said that contradicts their belief system.

After 36 hours, make friends with the screaming walls, kill the toaster, (because it's planning the demise of one of my houseplants) maybe trick one of the candles into eating itself, and have a good long conversation with the invisible top hat wearing donkey that has been following me around for a couple years. (not that I don't already converse with him, he's just so busy that it's hard to find time for a long conversation) If you suddenly had life's cheat codes? (unkillable, add money, improve relationship, etc.)

I'm bored too... We need some more interesting things to do around here.

Sleep. I can take shitloads of bad news, but I can't get a decent night's sleep for the life of me. Dying old and average, or going out in a blaze of glory?

Frustrating. (between people thinking a 45 MPH sign really means 30MPH if it's a no-passing zone, and my Mom not understanding physics in a very loud voice, it's been a moderately shitty day)

Who needs to C4 a hole in the wall when you can destroy the entire universe?

2096 - It took one more for me to get there.

The original DOOM was one of the first major commercial releases for Linux back in 1994. (it was ported in Dave D. Taylor's spare time) You might be surprised at just how good gaming can be on Linux. (I can use a worse-in-every-way laptop than my W7 laptop and get better framerates in almost any game at the same graphics settings, just by switching the OS) Steam decides to become a pay-to-use service, and charges users $50 monthly or they lose all their games permanently.

Understanding.

Apologized. (at least you know now why there is so much hate levied towards the show, and I hope you can share your understanding with other so people like me don't have to be opposed to the show just to counterbalance)

Remember when B movies weren't as good or better than A movies?

Tm8sIHlvdSBkbyBub3Qu That's an answer to your question. It's in base 64. Translate it yourself, there are lots of them on Google. (I use http://paulschou.com/tools/xlate/)

No, I just felt the need for change, lest I die. (the only constant in life is change, everything is constant in death) OT: Still can't rate due to content. (which kinda sucks because I think it looks rather cool)

Banned for not adding a new cowbell.

Ah... Cthulhu... Trying to not get pulled into replaying the Terran Campaign of Starcraft 2 again, just because I think the power armor they use for all of their troops, and some of their vehicles is totally awesome. Oh, and trying to be tired enough to fall asleep.

Because you have provided no evidence to support YOUR argument, YOU are "full of shit". Either contradict my statements with something other than blind insults or quit being an asshole.

Because it causes about 10x the pollution to make those energy sources a viable alternative for mass producing the energy we use. Current power requirements turned to solar would require nearly 75% of the US landmass to power New York City during the day, and couldn't generate enough to be able to store for powering it at night. Also, it requires a large supply of extremely expensive exotic materials to construct the solar collectors. Hydroelectric has turned out to cause some serious problems for local wildlife unless it's merely as a byproduct of flood prevention, and we have nearly run out of suitable locations to place these extremely expensive dams. Geothermal is currently untenable since it requires drilling to a depth we're just barely reaching now with the newest state-of-the-art drills, and then finding machinery that can withstand prolonged use in those conditions. (not to mention maintenance is extremely dangerous) In addition geothermal is similar to hydroelectric in that there are only a select few locations suitable for making these generators. Wind power is only functional when the wind is blowing fast enough to generate. Any slower, and it actually draws more power than it produces. It is expensive, both in the land required, (has to be in the right location too) and in the materials and labor. The blades have been known to cause issues with local airborne animals including birds and bats. And believe it or not, noise is often reported as being an issue with wind turbines. (it isn't as quiet as the infomercials portray) Biomass is a decent one, but requires a ton of money, and lots of much needed space. Tidal and wave energy generation are promising, but we don't currently have the technology or funds to make them usable. Right now, the cleanest, most efficient, and most powerful generating systems we have are nuclear. They produce no waste whatsoever if run properly, are impossible to melt down, (unlike the older reactors) can't be seriously damaged from a distance with anything short of a nuclear strike, (or massive tsunami) and can even be made with one of the most common elements on the planet. (thorium, it is as common as lead) The ONLY reason we can't have more of them, is because the "environmentalists" have had way more pull than should ever have been allowed. Fortunately, there are several new nuclear plants under construction to replace aging facilities. Just a little piece of info about the US power consumption... Nuclear power accounts for 790TWh of electrical production; 19.2% of the US power consumption. Coal accounts for 39%, Natural Gas 27%, Hydroelectric 7%, Wind 4.13%, Biomass 1.48%, Geothermal 0.41%, Solar 0.23%, Petroleum 1%.

You didn't look at the Wiki sources did you? As for that sensor quip, it specifies that it is for SIGINT... That means military SIGnal INTelligence. Also, Faraday cages only block MOST of the signals, not all. Read up on it yourself I don't have the time to find all the relevant links. Lastly... Do you really think the government is going to let you know in plain words exactly how far it has gotten in this area of eavesdropping? (since this tech was developed solely for the NSA and military)

Regular sized crazy dude... (and I refuse to guess the reference, even for a cookie) Imply or assume?

I have personally seen North Korea in pictures, yes. Are you dead?

Granted, but you don't understand how to target it properly, and therefore are only able to target it on yourself. I figured something out, so I no longer have any injuries. I wish for more bags of Muppets, identical to the last one, to be given to every government official.
