[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
Seen it. I still laugh at the heavy and medic.

Today...
Ooooh I'm not feeling too hot right now. I feel like I'm about to lose consciousness, I'm coughing up blood on occasion, aches everywhere, and there's some nasty red bruising on my abdomen that's taken a slightly subdued color of blood. I'm gonna head to the hospital and see what's going on before I drop.

Should the Internet remain anonymous?
I'm not going to comment too much on it, but it'll give the government way too much power, all in the name of "stopping piracy" when it won't even do that effectively by virtue of how torrents work. Hell, let's put things this way: If Viacom or whoever thinks that Youtube is infringing on copyright, they could shut it down without a court order. And that's the beginning of the problem. And still, if the "dox" threads are anything to go by, the ID system will make finding someone way too convenient. Even without that ID system, people can still be found very very easily. Not to mention IP addresses, and the fact the idea just doesn't seem to coincide well with net neutrality.

People Who Secretly Have No Life
I usually spend time after classes at uni hanging out with a group until late/most people have left. I don't want to deal with my brother, and even then, no one is home and I'd get sick and bored. One parent doesn't exist anymore, the other is always out on business trips.

US Drops to #49 in Life Expectancy
Even then, to be fair, there are a LOT of people in the USA compared to most other countries. And still, I don't think gun crimes are factored into life expectancy in this case. Let's uh, not push the topic in that direction. And that's not the only reason for a lower life expectancy. I could start involving entrophy, but then I'd be getting too complex.

Should the Internet remain anonymous?
In which case some serious parental control would have to take place. Even now the internet is NOT a place for an unsupervised child. And in other news, the whole COICA bill, which would end up actually stripping out privacy/anonymity, actually made me physically sick. There is just so much that is wrong with this idea I am feeling a pit in my stomach.

DOTA 2 1 million dollar tournament announced
Hmm, fair enough. I might pick it up if it's any good. HoN wasn't that fun because the community was blatantly ragetastic. I just got annoyed after a little bit and left. This was during the beta, mind you.

Should the Internet remain anonymous?
Honestly, I'm not sure about this to be honest. There's just too many issues that line up in my head with this, and so many red flags going off I'm not sure if this would be a good idea.

Megaman 8-bit deathmatch
Most modern internet browsers take more to run than Doom II, of all things.

Where have you ALWAYS wanted to go and why?
I'd love to actually leave this country, if even only for a little while, but it's too expensive for me.

Nah, the dude pulled the server offline. Some legal nonsense from Nintendo or something.

Pokemon Thread
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80342 Only abilities that have been released will be allowed, so no Shadow Tag Shanderaa or the weather Politoed/Ninetales.

So, what is your current project(s)
That's awesome. I'm working on some basic stuff in C++ though, like a simple damage calculator for Pokemon, of all things. It's not too bad. Programming is actually pretty simple to a fault, it's just very specific.

Finalizations for Bulding a Computer
Do I have to pay extra shipping to return items? No idea, although if you do, I think they'll factor that into the refund.

US Drops to #49 in Life Expectancy
Oh look, it's this topic again. Honestly though, If living 4.4 years longer means tofu, I'll just stick to living here.

Finalizations for Bulding a Computer
I can answer #2 for you: -If a part is defective or DOA, you can send the part back and get a refund. Newegg has instructions on how to do this. -I imagine a pre-paid credit card would work. They work for every other thing online, so why not here?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
the hell kind of mall do you hang out at? Mine only has a theatre, and a crappy one at that Yeah no kidding. That's all the one at mine has too, although there is also an arcade.

That's a hard lesson to learn.
Morally, no. My morals say yes. And I patently disagree. Goddamn. run4runes, you need to consider their position and put yourself in their shoes. Let's say you didn't pay this fee, should you just stand and watch helplessly as they don't hose your house down and watch it all burn? Would you LIKE that? You really can't say for sure unless you put yourself into the situation. Morally, it was not a good reason to just watch the house burn.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
practice makes perfect! i was a horrible kisser when i first started, but my ex [who has now hooked up with more guys than i'd like to say she has] still sincerely says that i was the best. it's all about practice. Came in to say this, but someone already did. I think I actually found a girl that's single and we get along pretty damn well. I'm gonna be pretty honest about one thing though, I have no idea how to ask her out. Some advice wouldn't hurt.
