    I missed Counter Strikes a lot!!!!!

    I think I managed to miss CounterStrike altogether. I still play DOTA though. I kinda hate how most the multiplayer games now are populated by LEETists. Maybe PvP ain't my thing? I guess there's always Yet Another MMO.

    The Footwear Industry

    Being a person who doesn't learn from her mistakes the first time, I figure I'll go ahead and expose myself to the flames once again. We'll see what happens? To answer your questions from the first post: Q. how many pairs of footwear do you have? A. 8. Q. how many are similar, more than 1...

    What's Your Computer Called?

    RIP Tesla. She was a good laptop, even if born with congenital anomalies. Her heart kept giving out, and I kept trying to resusitate her... but when the seizures started I decided it's about time to pull the plug. Anyhoo, backed up her consciousness to the external harddrive, which I named...

    Word Association

    Hammers. No I don't know. First thing that came to mind. I blame it on lack of sleep.

    Pope visits Malta today!

    If he visited Texas, I might care. Or if he got gifted a falcon.

    I hate it when people complain...

    I think what upsets me most is not that a person complains, its when they can do something about it and don't. It might even be healthy to talk about your problems. But doing nothing to solve them just perpetuates the problems eh?

    I hate it when people complain...

    Oh dear, a complaints thread in x10 now? Oy! :faint: Hmm. I was exhausted today and tried to sleep at a reasonable hour, and after a few hours of trying I ended up waking up and studying. I suppose technically I'm complaining about how I did not sleep.

    What's Your Computer Called?

    Felines? Oddly enough, I've heard of ocelots being domesticated as pets. Hell, I modeled my Vah Shir in EQ after a lynx. Do I get a cookie? I named my laptop Tesla. My fiancee and I named our LAN server Doomgate (mwahahahahaha). I have yet to name my external hard drive... it seems to lack a...

    Healthcare

    @phazzedout A sentiment that many share... is it really that difficult to demand a basic amount of healthcare, for all? @ kinley3 and joejv4 From what I can tell, ObamaCare seems to be attempting to model itself after the Dutch system. http://www.minvws.nl/en/themes/health-insurance-system/...

    Geeks Make the Best Lovers?

    @mattura It's a little of both :) :) :) I think the seriousness revolves around nerdiness and negative stereotyping. I think the tongue-in-cheek revolves around our Obvious Excellent Lover Skillz that are sadly under-appreciated. I dunno about you, but I'm a geek, and I'm totally the Pepe le...

    Will you keep on getting free software?

    Two cents to the pot: As a student, I get discounts on software all the time. Adobe, Office, even Windows 7 is discounted for students, at least, in the US. Generally, you have to get it directly from the vendor or go to a student bookstore type of shop, and provide proof of enrollment...

    Reproductive Ethics

    @ 1.supermind True about animals having little shame or ethical complications about mating, killing, defending, etc. But then again, among the more social animals, such as apes and lions, you see a certain amount of well, social activity regarding sex, eating, etc. Things like one male per...

    The Organ Market and Medical Tourism

    So, I had a fun heated debate today in class and I thought I'd share the fun with you guys! :tongue: Imagine a scenario as follows: Bob is a 32 year old newlywed, recently diagnosed with liver cancer. He needs a liver transplant. The wait list by UNOS (http://www.unos.org/) has him on a 6-9...

    School In Rhode Island Fires All Staff

    I guess you're right. I mean, I can't be bothered to post regularly anymore in these forums now that the credits system is down. If I cared about the community and not about the credits, I would post even if the credits system is down. But I don't really... until the credits are back up, why put...

    School In Rhode Island Fires All Staff

    That much is true. But then again, a person accepts a job or rejects it before they receive their first pay-check. You agree to the pay before you are hired. If you think you aren't being paid enough, quit or don't take the job in the first place. It's like wiivsps3 said: you have to love...

    Most unusual or underappreciated games of all time?

    I've heard of Carnage Heart, never tried it though. As for my list of underappreciated games: 1. The Sanitarium -- PC -- 1998 --> http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/sanitarium/index.html A short but sweet game for the PC. The plot: you wake up in a Sanitarium, with amnesia, and...
