I had an even worse problem. It was unable to read Windows as a bootable drive. Really? They're really doing that? I thought we outgrew backwards compatibility issues when consoles graduated from cartridges to discs. What possible bs reason can there possibly be for this? Why do we put up with this from console gaming anyway? We wouldn't have put up with it movie players, so why do game systems get away with it? Gah! I need to have a smoke and calm down... Because the architecture they run on is very different. The only real way to get around this would be to port the games, which developers don't seem to do enough.

Currently debating whether I should buy a PS3 or a PS4 when then PS4 comes out. Going the PS3 option will mean I get it really cheap, as the release of the PS4 will drop the price (ev en though I could pick up a console w/ games for $200 used right now.) I'll also get to play a lot of games like BioShock Infinite, Dead Red Redemption, LBP, and some old classics. But PS4 bring me access to Thief 4 at the loss of all the other games (PS4 is not backwards compatible.) Either way I don't think I'll do much online as I don't really feel like buying a modem for it. Depending on what you manufacture chain mail from, you'll probably just end up burning your chest from a taser. Bullet will probably tear apart if it's good-quality chain mail, causing it to hit you as fragments. It'd slow it down slightly, but the fragmentation would mean even a .22 would still pierce the skin. My rego is $250, but my green slip is $600. I'm also on monthly insurance payments until August, since I don't have any big expenses too close to it. Compared to it being due right before Christmas. The time of year I hate, since I don't work for 7-21 days, depending if I can get the afternoon vet run. Yes, I dislike time off. Especially uni break, I'm already back to staying up all night.

Wish I had an extra $100. Need the money for rego. Things I want to buy can wait. My favourite part about KONY 2012 was it was the day after the 20th of April, so everyone got high and forgot about it the next day. Not to mention the fact that he wasn't even in the country in the years leading up to it. My issue with news these days is it's too much knee-jerk reactions to barely anything, or biased opinion pieces by people who have a motive for slanting it one way. Read in the paper where a cop gave his opinion on the decimalisation of drugs, namely cannabis. All that he talked about how all it would mean is that the dealers would take up different crimes, and just kept asking hundreds of rhetorical questions basically saying this is everything I can think of that would be a bad way to distribute the substances and how the, allegedly, massive space required to manufacture it. Nobody bothered explaining to him what decriminalisation means, he never once spoke of anywhere else that did decriminalised drug use, or of anywhere that has any of these drugs legal. Instead he said that drugs are so bad that some countries (namely Singapore and Bali) often award the death penalties for traffickable quantities. Hell, several of our local papers have never written anything factual about our Carbon Emission Scheme, or the National Broadband Network. Hell, some of them can't get anything to do with wind turbines right.

Why did I agree to work on a Tuesday morning? I'm completely [bleep]ed up because I couldn't fall asleep easily last night. Oh yeah, because I didn't get to work sat and I need the money. From what I understand, go to the local uni, spend time near the law students, and you'll get to know dealers pretty easily. Since everything is illegal, a lot of them tend to be jack of all trades. I know. I tried finding work with just that, but too much experience was required. Surprisingly lots of for medical supplies. But there's never a short of truck work here (lots of crappy-truck work but I've already explained that) since that's my area's "industry". Trucking, distribution, retail. I guess it is really about who you know.

Marriage equality, and the SCotUS
I'm pretty sure every species of animal has been known to eat its own shit at some point too....the "animals do it" argument is pretty weak as a result. And there are some sexual attractions which are fetishes, and we all have a choice as to how we manifest our sexual attractions and incorporate them into our lifestyle. Sorry, I said animals anticipating an unnatural discussion. By sexual preference I was meaning which gender(s) you're interested in. Not what floats your boat.

Marriage equality, and the SCotUS
Guys, if we're going to get fussy on terminology, I'm just going to stamp my foot down and point something out: a homosexual is someone who is sexually attracted to someone of the same gender. A homophile is someone who attracted to someone of the same gender on an emotional level. The two aren't the same. Someone can be a heterosexual homophile, which means they like having sex with someone of the opposite gender, while 'fall in love with' people of the same gender. A heterosexual heterophile, on the other hand, is someone who likes having sex with, and fall in love with, people of the opposite gender. I'm all for them having civil unions. I also think that civil unions should be the only thing recognised by the states. Sexual preference is not a lifestyle, nor is it a choice, or a fetish. Sexual preference is something hardwired to the brain. There are also over 4,000 known species of animals to perform homosexual acts. It must be called marriage, because marriage is recognised by the state and has certain benefits awarded to it not awarded with civil unions.

Giordano, get a job delivering things. Never a lack of a need for that, especially in this day and age where everything is now-now-now. 4-6 weeks for that thing you ordered from an ad in the paper? No way, buy it on Amazon.com with your Prime account for free delivery tomorrow. Kind of ironic that I'm recommending it as a fallback when we've had to lay off a worker due to lack of business, but that's just due to a knee-jerk reaction to the mines up the valley not using contractors due to OHS concerns. Kerbal. Space. Program.

Marriage equality, and the SCotUS
I can't imagine a movement spending so much time, effort, and money on something so frivolous as the definition of a single word. Are homosexuals so insecure they need their deepest relationships validated by common language? :rolleyes: There are many social, economical, and legal benefits that you get when marrying someone. Seriously, all you're doing is giving reasons why no marriage should exist. Marriage is not so two people can procreate. People have been having kids without being married for centuries. People having being marrying without having children for thousands of years. People have been marrying, never wanting, and never having kids for thousands of years. There is no good reason why people should should not be able to have same sex marriages.

Marriage equality, and the SCotUS
Why does procreation have anything to do with marriage? Saying that people who are never able to have kids shouldn't get married treat marriage like the ultimate goal of it is to have sex for the purpose of having a child. I don't get the appeal of marriage in the first place, but that's for another thread. On the topic, why the hell is it still called marriage. Marriage is a religious ideal, which has no place being used in government. Civil union should be the only thing recognised by the state, while marriage is what you call the ceremony you have in church, if you chose to do it that way. What about polygamy, or people marrying animals? (Not asking you in particular, just putting it out there, asking where we draw the line) Animals, children, and inanimate objects are unable to give consent. This is why one cannot and should not be able to marry, or have sex with, any of those things. Animals, because they lack the ability to comprehend or properly convey their opinions, children because they lack the ability to comprehend and are still developing their brains, and inanimate objects because they are in no way living or able to say I do.

[Steam] Kerbal Space Program - Update 0.22: Career Mode!
I love xenon fuel. Sure, it only works on one side of a planet's orbit, but hnnng it's so efficient. I'm bringing it up to my space station, which I'm naming Stellar Patrolling And Control Entity. Or SPACE.

[Steam] Kerbal Space Program - Update 0.22: Career Mode!
Thinking on it, I might stick to downloading it from the website, since I update at uni and I can't lug my desktop there to update it.

[Steam] Kerbal Space Program - Update 0.22: Career Mode!
Good news everyone, you can now get a Steam key if you purchased the game before it came out on Steam. It prevents you from downloading it from from the store any more, but you don't need Steam running to play KSP. Yes, a Steam game 100% DRM free. So basically Steam is only there to lessen the server load. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/entry.php/611-Optional-Steam-Transfer On to more important news, I've had to make it a habit of covering things in OX-STAT Photovoltaic Panels, because I keep forgetting to extend my other ones in orbit and lose control of things. If it wasn't for the fact that ending the flight removes everything from the previous flight, the amount of debris in Kerbin's orbit would be enough to block out the sun.

[Steam] Kerbal Space Program - Update 0.22: Career Mode!
Got the game last week. Everything has been going swimmingly, until I needed to get some solar panels up in orbit for my space station. Now it seems that nothing will get it into orbit. It's not heavy or anything, just a small structure with solar panels and a dock attached to it.

Wow, I finally learnt some stuff about complex numbers, and we've already finished learning stuff about them. Vectors, [garden tool]! Considering how much I'm sweating, my guess is the first law of thermodynamics is broken and all the heat is moving to where most of it ends up anyway, Australia.

Tim is going to really hate my happy-go-lucky attitude. I decided to start my maths assignment on the day it was due. Turns out it was externally hosted and I didn't have a log-in for it. As it was the day I couldn't email them to ask for an account before the due-by. An hour beforehand there was a class-wide email stating that due to issues on the host's end the assignment's due-by was extended to the end of the week. Should be getting my log-in details tomorrow. Speaking of drinking problems, I have one. I don't have enough to get me drunk. They make great the most amazing pillows.
