You don't know a single people who isn't lauphing at the Wii? You need to get out more... "PS3 too expensive," 88 percent say, as Wii dominates Japanese polls GameFAQs Polls: Wii favored to win consul war over PS3 by 22% "I don't want a Wii--22% of people polled" "I don't want a PS3--50% of people polled" 75% of people think think Sony is too arrogant with its attitude towards the PS3

I love how you wonder innocently into this huge arguement. :) And to everyone else...

Don't know if this is old news or not: http://youtube.com/watch?v=crdak-1qhMo Amusing Wii vs PS3 ad done Apple style *note* Clip has a bikini clad girl, hence YouTube rates it 18+. Mods, feel free to delete this topic if you feel its to scandal-esque

Yea...a plane smashed into the floor a few below his. So first off the starcases are probably gone, and secondly the entire floor is engulfed in flames, apparently hot enouph to melt steel and cause the destruction of the building. People were jumping out the windows, I don't think they would do that if they could make it down with just a few burns.

Best. Games. Of All Time.

Hollywood can't make a sadder clip. Him talking about his kids and reassuring his wife, then the fire department saying there almost there, and finally the scream then sudden silence followed by the sickening feeling knowing that he just died, as did everyone running up the stairs to save him :cry: People always say 2800 people died, but they just treat it like a statistic. They don't assign names and lives to each person.

The thing I was trying to get across was the fact that "Israel" just attacked one kid, and he's in the part of the park where he doesn't exactly have friends. Well regardless, instead of Israel fighting wars why don't they find out why they have so many enemies, and try to fix those problems? That's one thing that I kind of hate about Israel, they often say "Everyone hates us because they're all jealous! We are the smartest and richest people in the world" People don't hate you because you're better then them, they admire you (i.e. Mexico and the USA... we don't have many Mexican terrorists in Texas.) I know it's easier said then done, but Israel needs to figure out why out of 138 countries only the US agrees with it's actions :roll: Relating it to RL, I know I am doing something wrong if 99% of the school suddenly hates me, and no you can't get by, even if your one friend is the most popular guy in school. This statement is exaggerated if everyone already seems to hate you and you suddenly start displacing tens of millions of innocent civilians while killing women and children being broadcast on international TV.

I can see Israel's point but you can't win in their situation. They are surrounded by over a billion Muslims and for every terrorist they kill 10 more take his place. I feel sad for the U.S. since it has to support Israel but in the process it separates itself from the rest of the world, making more and more enemies and increasing the chances for a second 9/11. Let me put it this way, lets pretend countries are represented by school children in a park. Israel, a athletic rich white kid, goes to the part of the park that all the low income, out of shape, black students are playing in. One of them throws a rock at Israel and calls him a name. Israel suddenly picks up a stick and beats the crap out of that kid... the kid tries to fight back and Israel uses that as an excuse to break both his arms and knock him unconscious. This is all going on while this black kid's 20 friends are watching angrily. Everyone in the park now comes over and is like "Israel, what the heck are you doing?!? You can't just beat the crap out of that guy just because he threw a rock! Let's stop this fighting and talk this all out" Suddenly the teacher walks out into the park, her name is the U.S.A. and Israel is her favorite student. She says "Hey now, Israel has the right to beat the crap out of this kid... he threw a rock and the only way to stop that is to break both his arms!" Now, what is most likely to happen in this situation: A) Israel continues to hang out in that part of the park, surrounded by that kid's friends, who for some reason now decide to let Israel be. B) The kid's all begin to hate the Israel and the teacher. They hatred grows over the decades and they begin to plot against them....

Guys like attrative girls automatically, its literally built biology that men cannot ignore. Alpha male animals always go after the healthiest, best built female since she will produce the most young. Fat women often have complications in labor (hello C-Section!) and in nature this means most would die childless. Biologically men have the need to spread their genes (thats why sexual acts are so pleasureful, your body is telling you that this is what you are made for). In short, men want hot girls since the usually are the most athletic/healthy. Girls think anorexic girls kinda screw up this trend but if you really ask most guys, they prefer a track girl/cheerleader to a pencil thick one.

Eeeew! Who'd wanna get laid by a fat guy?! Good point, but the way I figure it the line to "see" Jessica Alba, and Angelina Jolie, or anyone else remotly hot would be way to long with 3 billion guys tryng to get it on all at once. If you only have a few hours left to live why wait in line when Brittney would be like lying in a trailer park alone somewhere. :P /amusing defence of post

You could go to Brittney Spears and get laid if she knew we would all die in a few hours.

Yea, why does everyone feel the need to do something illigial? Oooo you broke into a store! Congrats, way to spend your last few hours doing something morally wrong and is unaccepted in society. Besides its the last day, who needs to steal? Empty your bank account and buy anything you want. Personally I would go to each girl I have a crush on and get laid. Then maybe do some dangerous stuff, like jumping off buildings with a parachute on. And in the last hours I would hang out woth family and friends and just party and talk about the good times we've had. ...streaking would be good to ;)

I think that pic is photoshopped

Distillation technologies are impressive. For example California gets like what, 60% of its water from the ocean? If it was really scare I'm sure they could ramp up those sectors. Then there are the simly yet ingenious things like LifeStraw: http://www.time.com/time/business/artic ... -2,00.html War for water? Ha, a single cruise missle costs a million dollars, that straw costs 3 dollars

Don't buy machines, use dum bells, pull ups, or my personal favorite: PUSH UPS. You need no equipment and 1 full minute of them a day, 3 times a week will do wonders for your entire upper body, seriously. People who don't exercise regularly think 1 minute of push ups with out stop is impossible, they might not eve be able to them for 10 seconds. If that's the case start small and add 2 seconds to your workout every week. Once you hit the one minute mark focus on improving your form, go down further, smoother, and faster but don't stop until your egg timer or whatever beeps that one minute has passed. Once you get to this point (about 6 months later) you should be able to do half a dozen or so one handed push ups on each side and should notice a considerable bulking of the pecks and triceps. While doing this exercise I use the same song every time GreenDay's Holiday. I know where the 1 minute mark is in the song and I use it as my timer and my encouragement. Nowdays I go to 2:30 and when I hear the one minute mark pass I smile and think "Wow, I used to be dead tired at this point... I'm not even breaking a sweat yet :)" Toss in a 3-5 minute set of crunches if you desire and improve your six pack. This simple 6 minute workout every other day before you shower does wonders for your entire physique. ;)

any putz that stumbles across http://www.astalavista.com and downloads something often considers themselves a "hacker" that knows of this "black site". Its easy to know the principle of hacking, actually doing it is a whole differnet ballgame

Good to hear, here a tip for starters, don't type in all caps, its annoying to read.

Very nicely written. Professional and factual, yet easy to read for those not educated in business. I personally am surprised at how closely prices are following the imaginary exponential line. Very strange, its what economists predict for RL things but we rarely see it actually happen. Nice graph of prices to I always wanted to see one. Oh and blue party hats are 200 mil? Wow, I still think of mine as 400k :/

I was actually going to describe this in my post but figured it would be too much of a tangent. I myself asked this question to my Bio professor the day of this lecture as well so I know what you're thinking. Anyway, the ansewer: Okay, picture you have 500 cells that can each divide 30 times. They all divide, you now have 1000 cells that can each divide 29 times. Then all divide, you now have 2000 cells that can each divide 28 times. Then all divide, you now have 4000 cells that can each divide 27 times. Then all divide, you now have 8000 cells that can each divide 26 times. Then all divide, you now have 16,000 cells that can each divide 25 times. See where I'm going with this? You were thinking each cell can divide 20 times and its dead, you're forgetting all its daughter cells can divide as well. Oh and you can see an example of this by cutting yourself (hypothetically, don't really do it!). If its a thin cut it should heal as all the cells around it just divide, but if you make a cut in the same spot later on it will take longer to heal. Do it again, and once more. After 4 or 5 cuts in the same spot you will start to take longer to heal and it will leave a serious scar. However this doesn't happen to parts of the body that are designed to take a beating, like the tips of your fingers, which are made mostly of collegen protiens and countless tiny sandwiched cells. On the side of your arm or leg though, the scarring will happen very quickly sigged! :lol: edit; ah f!!! its too long! Aww, I'm honored, yet saddened that its too long :P

I agree that people don't 'die of old age' they die of heart failure and cancer, etc. However even with no diseases and cancer cured no one can live forever. All of our cells' have these things called telomeres attached to both ends of our DNA. There are there to protect the DNA since every time a cell divides and makes a copy of DNA little pieces from both ends of the DNA get ripped off. After about 30 divisions the telomeres are pretty much gone and the cell simply can't divide anymore without ripping its DNA and dying. At ~120 years this starts to happen to certain parts of the body like your skin, making your skin plastic like and unable to heal; it will happen to your entire body at ~130 years of age although no one has lived that long to see it's effects yet. It is impossible to cure, you can't add to the telomeres without messing with cells DNA, and if you do that the body won't recognize it and the immune system will attack it. Also, funny enough, you can simply stop the telomeres from shortening, making your cells able to reproduce as many times as they want to. This happens all the time actually. Its called cancer ;). Cancer cells taken from a 90 year old patient that died in the 1930s are still around and reproducing in various petri dishes in labs around the world. Cancer is immortal, humans can never be.

Good idea, we should hire cheap labor consisting of 5 year olds in Indonesia and have them do all out character's dirty work like mining. We can pay them a competative salary, like 5 cents a day. Nike and Hanes might get pissed that were using their work force though. As for playing RS better then getting plastered? To a point perhaps but realize that only like 30% of even college kids are the ones that get drunk everynight. The vast majority don't go out to drink till they get sick, they go out at night to meet the ladies. Lets see sitting at home in a dark room and playing RS and talking about footbal versus going to a night club and dancing with some spanish girls and interacting at a physical level with all sorts of people (I'm not nessesarily saying sex, just physically meeting people and having a good time)

Thats quite good runesmithie, I got a 31 ACT which is equivilant to a ~1400 old SAT. You should be able to get into any non-Ivy League school with your score :wink:

Hitler was elected. Lets say that again - elected. The Nazi party had a great following in Germany. Hitler himself was offered the chancellorship because he was so popular. There is no such thing as a true democracy either. I cba to explain but perhaps someone else who does politics can explain. He was "elected" after his brown shirts assasinated all his rivals :roll:
