Actually in real life you don't really unless it's incredibly high. Minor exposure takes a few hours to see symptoms, which then go away shortly after which is a latent phase of no symptoms at all. Even in severe radiation poisoning, this latent phase can be as much as 2 weeks. Louis...

Capital gains taxation is a really tough nut to crack. On the one hand, capital gains is primarily a tax on the wealthy. On that same hand, capital gains represents wealth gained without actually contributing anything to society; no labor or product is represented; it's money for free. On...

You show complete and total ignorance with that statement. After Wilson there was a total and complete backlash against Wilsonian Democracy. The answer to that was Harding. Harding led the most scandalous term in US history; presiding over Teapot Dome. His administration also ushered in an...

You act as if the trend has been in one direction this entire time. The fact of the matter is, the time our nation saw the greatest economic stability, prosperity, growth, and happiness was in the 1950s when the wealth distribution was almost linear. The more and more wealth becomes a...

Dual rocket launchers! ... ... what? Why are you looking at me like that?

Map locations... I recommend somewhere in Kansas. I'd say a 50 by 50 mile square (or maybe 60 by 60) with Leavenworth at the northeast corner and Topeka at the southwest corner. That'd give you a military base and a couple major cities to work with. There's a decent sized lake in...

Anyone arguing free market for the healthcare system and claiming it works better doesn't understand how free markets work. In order for a free market to function, there must be choice on the part of the consumer. Any aspect of the market, whether legal or inherent, which removes choice will...

Doesn't have to be the DC area. Personally I'd recommend something further south, like Georgia. I wouldn't recommend further north unless you want to try to tackle the Commonwealth or whatever faction it was that had androids. Personally I'd highly recommend Midwest. It has great...

And as much as you may like to think otherwise, you are just one person, and by no means the authority on what was part of 50s sci-fi.

By no BoS I mean, they were just a minor faction on the west coast in Fallout 1, and barely existed anymore in Fallout 2. So they would have absolutely no place whatsoever in the Midwest shortly after the events of Fallout 1. Keep in mind that the east coast BoS of Fallout 3 that left the...

Says who? Doesn't haven't to be modern night vision. Doesn't even have to BE night vision. Just has to be post-war, pre-rock era concept of the future. I'm pretty sure nightvision was thought up WAAAAAAAAAAAY before 1950, just wasn't possible to execute it.

Well, I hadn't completely fleshed out a plotline, mostly just the setting. Brotherhood of Steel wouldn't be in it at all. They might be mentioned by one or two people but wouldn't be in it. I don't really like how Fallout 3 made the BoS more important and turned it into "BoS = Good, Enclave...

The idea is there should be at least SOME kind of visual upgrade for using power armor. Optimally people should react differently too; they certainly should not be able to instantly recognize you. But I don't think such a thing would be possible to mod.

Generally speaking, the government doesn't care if you are independent or not, they still look at your parents' income. Heck, they demanded over and over to have records of my father's income. At the time, the last time I had seen or heard from my father was when I was 2 years old. He lived...

True. However, custom animations are possible, and it is possible to make the equipped "dual weapon" add damage, increase rate of fire, etc.

Ah, I see what you mean. The thing is, if you're job is a standard European job, you get a minimum of 4 weeks of vacation a year, and probably 6 or 8. That means you working 11 months, but probably 10, and 85% of THAT is taken. Your pay is also higher than that of someone in the USA doing...

I will agree with that statement for sure. My father is Hungarian and lives there with my step-mother and their kids. My half sister is going to a boarding school on Lake Balaton with an absolutely amazing curriculum ... for free. When my father told me all about it, I was dumbfounded...

Well, I thought it'd be cool to make a Fallout 1.5 with the Fallout 3 engine. Something that takes place shortly after Fallout 1 but before Fallout 2. Make it take place in the midwest amidst the rolling plains. Would likely make for a fantastic wasteland setting if you model it off of...

10 months? I work 12. Everyone else I know works at least 11 (most vaca anyone I know has is 4 weeks). I'm not really surprised at how people are ignoring much of the cause of homelessness. Many homeless around here have schizophrenia or other severe mental ailments. They are harmless to...

They did it with Oblivion, so it should be possible with Fallout 3.
