  1. actually this seems to have been happening ALOT more lately.. BSOD werent a huge issue with 95 most machines recovered pretty well.. XP sp1 seemed to be ok too.. but XP sp2 and Vista seem to be pretty much toast (pieces of the OS and services go missing) when it happens... and we wonder why the Space shuttle still uses 286s ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  3. common? i could not say... i can say that painting was often a cathartic act and that once complete there was no good reason (apart from ego or the need for recognition, neither of which i am a fan of) for it to exist anymore... perhaps it may have been the next great thing and made me an instant millionaire, perhaps it was complete shit... but either way it mattered not, the reason it was painted was over and done and if it still existed at all (many were destroyed in continuation of the 'cathartic act') it was under the paint of the next thing I NEEDED to paint... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  4. From low-rise to no-rise. It's the new look. NSFW really damn that is one short runway....but i like the look... at least if you meet the height/weight ratios ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  5. braless.. the latest trend towards very padded bra's pretty much equates to false advertising.. no different from stuffing a sock down your pants for guys (which i'm pretty sure no woman will attempt to defend as acceptable male behavior) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  6. (4) When considering something as significant as war, leaders should consider information and let it lead them to conclusions, rather than using their desired conclusions to filter the information. Putting the cart before the horse isn't a particularly efficient means of progress, and the person who does it looks foolish to all observers. if the process is not circumvented it does work this way.. asking questions to collect information to MAKE the decision vs MAKING the decision and asking questions in a manner that means the answers will (by design) support the already made decision... 'shut up and color' is/was the order of the day.. those who could not abide by such guidance looked for employment elsewhere ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  7. ja i read thru that thread in tears... all the one great liners, alternate movie ideas etc then someone pops in with 'I studied Occult Mythology....." and i lost it completely... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  8. epic.. havent laughed that hard in a loooong while... i'd steal this one for a sig line, but it would violate a few forum rules i imagine.. always enjoyed the various 'chucky' movies.... not because they were even remotely entertaining but because of the entertainment possibilities a 3 foot tall undead doll could offer..hours of fun with something as simple as a ballbat. omg it gets funnier... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  9. Chuteless recanted that recently. He moved the date 6 months back. It will be during the next president's term. well he's doing a fabulous job of upholding the 'prophet' mantel... sad to see once proud minds succumb to madness... my grand father is going much the same route after his third stroke... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  10. holy shit man.. you owe me a beer and a monitor.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  11. rotflmao.. maybe he should have taught her how to properly hold a firearm INSTEAD of having to make an apologist reply that only makes him look more ignorant. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  12. Every time I revisit this thread two things come to mind.... one two but then i suppose this sort of 'debate is the entire point in SC in the first.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  13. I'm talking about incest. so what is the 'moral' reason behind preventing it? lets not even get into biblical 'precedent', but WHY was this a moral issue for nearly every culture in the past? again for the obtuse this is not advocacy, it is continuing the discussion of 'moral evolution' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  14. hot chick.. red head and armed.. ofc that phrase was tired before she was born and i'm honestly wondering if she actually has a cocked .45 stuck in the front of her pants or if there is a holster you cant see.... if its the former someone needs to slap her and the guy taking the photo... I'm not a huge fan of no holster carry...but it can be done reasonably safely. For myself, I'd just as soon clip on my Versa Max II thats the type i was wondering if she had...it would be at about the right level not to show in that picture.... but a 'tuck carry' is just asking for trouble.. particularly if you are actually going to be walking around with it like that (which she is from the next photo) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  15. what about marmosets?? especially those tiny pygmy marmosets that like to hump peoples fingers. STOP SHOVING MARMOSETS DOWN MY THROAT!! visuals I didnt need for 1000 alex. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  17. This thread is both funny and scary from pretty much every angle... well at least it is also entertaining.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  18. I wonder how many fathers still teach this... the version I got was "Panic kills more people than anything else, freak out all you want.... once you are safe." ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  19. I want a new cypres. Not that its required but my mother would be happier with me having one and i'm a long believer in 'have it and never need it than....' also a couple of other toys i want as well, but a few other bills to pay off first.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

  21. this statement is often repeated, and only illustrates a complete lack of understanding about how Evolution (and its not a Law btw) works.. lets borrow the "Father/Daughter" referenced from earlier in relation to 'learned morality' why are there ancient laws against such relationships? (try to leave the cultural disgust at the door and postulate the 'lesson learned' behind the law against) Why have there been historical restrictions on what should and should not be eaten? (portrayed as a moral issue at the time, but progress and history shows it is not) Are those restrictions valid in the face of progress? or are there means to remove the 'dangers' they once presented. for the obtuse these are discussion points not advocacy ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
  22. i have to say i really like this site/game. I is a very detailed Poker experience.. I'm hating the current US laws against online gambling.. i'll definitely give you that some of these ploys work well even in VR, I've been able to sucker a number of people (granted i'm in the play money rooms where skill and technique are less evident) but ive been doing pretty well 'playing stupid' and sucking out some large stacks.. that is a good example though.. in RL if your opponent clearly handles their cards well and makes the chips dance around their fingers you can bet its not the first time they've sat at a table... in VR everyone has those options at the click of a button.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Jury Duty

    there is ofc the 3rd option that he managed to slip thru the cracks as an 'intelligent' individual (the fact he was elected foreman twice tends to indicate this) or the 4th option that he met the desired criteria for both sides... and the 5th... but never mind i keep forgetting there are only 2 options when it comes courts and lawyers.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

    Jury Duty

    You're simply wrong. MY EXPERIENCE IS WRONG???? Spare me the game-playing. You're wrong about "lawyers don't want intelligent, self thinking individuals on a jury." That being said, I'm not going to argue about this, or repeat or re-phrase myself, any further; and I have no interest in rebutting semantics or spin, or endless tit-for-tat. I've now put several carefully explained posts in this thread, and I stand by them. You can either accept them or line your birdcage with them, I really don't care. nice lawyering.. so simple question then: Do you or do you not want the jury you believe you are most capable of persuading to your point of view? If that means you DO want intelligent jurors, because the parameters of the case and your argument rely on their ability to understand highly technical points that is certainly fine, and not knowing the cases you work on i will not presume to say you are incorrect. But you cant convince me the majority of lawyers care more about the average intellect level than they do about the ability to convince the jury to believe them vs their opponent, and my experience and that of the people I work with who have been called to jury duty indicates that the more gullible you appear, the more likely you are to be selected. I stand on my point as well, juries are composed of the lowest common denominator each side believes they can convince.. Intellect is entirely secondary to the goal of seating a 'sympathetic jury' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
