Reply to The issue is not Right to Die in Current Events JoeUser Forums

In this case it is an artificial prolongment of life, whereas with a baby it's the natural order and progression of things. If science had not progressed this far, she would have been dead a long long time ago. The baby would survive as long as it wasn't abandoned and it avoided disease or predators I term life as the period of time from birth, to the point where the body can no longer sustain itself. Prior to and beyond that you're not dea

Reply to The issue is not Right to Die in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Part of the problem is how do we define when someone has gone beyond the point of no return? She's been in a vegetative state for well over a decade, she is alive only in the most technical definitoon (and even then only by a conservative definition of the word... she can't live without machines). If we could get past that issue, which is what people are fighting over so much... we may be able to tackle the issue you're talking about, wheth

Reply to So what Linux distro should I look into? in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Stay away from Gentoo if you're just learning the OS... It's meant for people who really want to get every ounce of power out of their systems and know how to go about doing it. It's a good distro to move to later once you are comfortable with Linux. Now, are you looking to Linux just to replace Windows and want one that's easy and ready to go out-of-the-box? Or are you looking to learn the OS and want to become comfortable enough with it to

Reply to the geek shall inherit the earth in Misc JoeUser Forums

I can't wait until I gain a few years and the women around me become more concerned with substance than with style! Seems looks and such still play a huge part for most of the women around me. I can't wait for women to start appreciating the geekier guys, that day is my day of retribution to all the jocks and frat guys who have plagued me my entire (and short thus far) dating life! I was told that the transition from style to substa

ay for the AI to adapt to changes to units, buildings or technology trees. Maybe a little bit of scripting for players to plug in new info in mods? Some sort of interface to the hard-coded AI. Just a thought.

Reply to Quest for the ULTIMATE Male Tableware in Humor JoeUser Forums

Knives aren't tableware... they're a tool. The serrated (sp?) knife is the only knife you'll ever need! What is this "polite" you speak of? I think I've heard the term used a few times by a girlfriend whenever I'd meet her parents. Strange concept I haven't been able to master yet. And why would I want to be polite when I'm watching a football game or Terminator flick? </font

Quest for the ULTIMATE Male Tableware in Humor JoeUser Forums

I am on a quest for the ultimate bowl, spoon, knife, whatever table item you could ever need. Finding the perfect size, weight and balance can make all the difference to anyone trying to eat while pursuing any of the finer male activities: Watching Sports on TV, or any seriously violent action flick P

Happy Birthday (a bit late)! I'll be hitting 23 here in just over a month myself. Your birtday sounds like the ideal to me too. I don't like big parties or anything like that. I just want to chill with some friends. Too bad all my friends are several states away and won't be visiting me anytime soon Here I figured everyone on JU was either MUCH yo

Reply to Dawn of War in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

I get the feeling that THQ is forcing these titles out way too quickly. The first one obviously suffered in the SP campaign and story (the devs even admitted this). It seems the expansion is being rushed too since it's *only* adding IG, for which a fair bit of artwork already existed. I enjoyed the game a lot... it definitely is the best WH40k game so far, I just hope they get the chance to really develop a stellar expansion or sequel to i

MP won't be in release, that's not budging. SD has said so flat-out MP may be in an expansion pack if demand is suffecient. They're designing the core game so it can be added in later.

h the game has but doesn't. On the issue of damaged CDs... buy Stardock's games through StarDock Central or get the TotalGaming.Net package so you can do direct download of the game... you don't need to ever use a CD. It rocks.

Reply to Cleaning Services are Bad!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

School newspapers tend to attract the most left of the left to their editorial staffs. The Daily Collegian at Penn State is notorious for this sort of crap. While I was there, I believe there was a series of editorial pieces on how it was wrong to have a black man bagging groceries at a local store, how it was an insult to history and all the black man has accomplished. They bring up the weirdest of the weird PC crap and harp on about it. They just

If Calvin Was a Child Today... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This is an edited/photoshopped strip I found on a friend's LiveJournal. It's an incredibly sad image for someone like me who grew up with Calvin & Hobbes. Calvin, despite his disposition (which my parents say matched mine pretty well), was the greatest example of the unlimited potential of a child.
