If you mean "Star Wars" it was actually vehumently opposed by the Democrats and the Liberal Left. They afvocated the "Freeze" strategy that relied on the US disarming and trusting the Soviets to do the same on good faith. (see; David Alpern's 1982 Newsweek article, "A matter of Life and Death")...

Oh wow, I didn't even know about it. He coud be a contender.

There are many, many alternatives for person of the century. Reagan, Ahmed Shah-Massoud, Pervez Musharraf, Mullah Omar, Chain-Kai-Shek, Mao Zedong, Eisenhower; and so many, many more that it would be ridiculous to try and list them. For person of the year? A little harder, seeing as...

No, true story. We stole the idea from the man show. Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla (sp) did it first.

Grotesque, "Fun" is made up f many things for many people. gameplay, story, writing, graphics, etc. are just a couple of the things that draw people to games. I think you (like me and I believe just about everyone else on this forum) enjoy fallout because the writing is great. This mixes with...

No. When I was in High school, and again in college, some friends and I got petitions together to end women suffrage. In High School, there were about 800 graduating seniors, around 460 some of them were girls. We got just over 400 signatures. FROM GIRLS. In college, we got more than...

Sadly?

Exactly my point. except I assume nothing. Possible, but I couldn't have forgotten as I am still new enough to this forum that I didn't have a way of knowing that.

Yes, but not Fallout-esq. I did play it. I'm not a huge WWII game fan, but thanks anyway.

I absolutly agree with you on that. By the way, are you guys aware of a game called "Jagged Alliance"? It was developed by I think "Sirtech", a Canadian company. It's isometric, turn-based, and I think it's what FO: Tactics should have been. There's even some good humor. Anyway, I...

I'm willing to take it at face value for two main reasons. 1) There isn't a way to verify anyone's story unless you actually KNOW the person offline. Which I doubt in most cases. Welcome to the internet. 2) In the spirit of good conversation; why not believe? Why introduce the negativity...

I actually didn't think Oblivion was that bad. There were some (quite a few) things that I think should have or could have been done better, but overall it was, for the most part, fun. I did find myself wishing it was more like morrowind though. It certainly could have done without all the...

Okay, thank you for clarifying.

ZING!

Ohhh... Burn. But really, it's nothing but a cosmetic upgrade; why bother?

Aside from being pretty, what does Vista do better than say... MMC or XP Pro (including 64b edition)?

In relation to mine how? And I've never heard of "stapes" either. It doesn't sound like a noun, and I thought that "liar" was generally used as a noun. It "stapes" a slang term or from a non-english language? Wikipedia and Websters online here I come... Argumentative shrimp? Forest...

Story time now? I'm walking in Vicenza, Italy through an open market with a COL stationed there (family friend), my brother, and a friend. My mother and the COL's wife were walking in front of us with my youngest brother and their daughter, and a bum appeared and asked for a couple Euros...

The principle you're referring to is "Mu Shin", quite literally, "no mind". Fighting is of course the final alternative, unless running is possibly more dangerous or if you have a reason to stand your ground.

Actually, he found a way to transfer energy like information over a wifi connection. This technology has recently been picked back up. I call that a miracle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer The Tesla "coil" was also very successful, and inspired the design of the...
