Time is Money. This saying is also reversible to: Money is Time. More properly, money is an abstraction of time used by societal groups to efficiently allocate the time of it's members. Wealth is cre

Girls just flockin' to ya, huh? It's his eyes. It's the beard. Men with beards just look much more manly than lesser clean-shaven beta-males
I do in fact, adore dry white toast. Always have.
taint ed Apt word choice.
You have missed the distinction between Leadership and Overlordship. Leaders make the Led want to do something on their own without coercion. Overlords make Slaves do what they "know to be right" through Force, Legislation, and Intimidation. Devices or people performing actions because they are forced are always Slaves and never the Led. anything for you PROVIDED you do the right things for it. That is Slavery??? Slav
My paragraphs and line breaks didn't paste. A pretty common issue here actually. I only mention it because it does tend to be offputting and newcomers do want readers (one assumes). I even busted my buddy Hyperborean Wanderer (and many others) about the same issue. If I came off as abrasive well... it is beause I am pretty abrasive. I apologize nontheless. Draginol has a lot of great posts regarding readability and
They were just counting off their group IQ. For a group of trainees 1 would actually be pretty high.
Empires are responsible for the well being of their subjects Only if the ruling elite choose to be responsible. They are perfectly able to choose neglect or abuse as well.
Happy b-day to you too. I tried to find you a gift basket for folks like who contract rare afflictions on a frequent basis but Amazon was all out.
I would love to offer something insightful here but I just don't grok art in any useful manner. They look good to me for what its worth.
The best thing about our "Engineering" world is that those parts of the system are selfless Actually these things are not "selfless" at all. Selflessness implies a choice in the matter. The devices, laws, and sets in engineering worlds are not selfless, they are in fact Slaves. My routers don't forward packets because they beleive in the greater good or out of enlightened self interest... they do so becuase I force them
The reasons we went to war are important, I agree. Intelligence failure prior to the war was a complete and egregious cock-up. Despite this we continue to buy into HUMINT reports with the same level of breathless credulity possesed by a 12 year old girl forwarding her first AOL chain e-mail. That said, just because something didn't turn out to have the same basis fro action as you initially thought doesn't give a person or nation a reason or excuse to just say "Fuck it." and lea
Frankly a lot of the problems with new games running slowly have less to do with the state of hardware and more to do with sloppy coding. Uber-hardware simply becomes a crutch for bad practices. IF COD 4 runs perfectly on my hardware then Crysis can't say too much. Does it look 5% better? Sure... but it runs about 400% slower. Bad optimization != me buying a new rig.
Nailed it there. I wish there was a bigger rating than Insightful to give.
You got purple junk ! Fixed.
I hold that no President since Reagan has been all that concerned with the state of the military or it's personnel since Reagan. This includes Bush and Clinton. All Presidents rightly beleive that the day-to-day operations of the military are best left to the military itself. They fail however by not appointing Generals with a clue, favoring instead political ass-kissers of the variety Hackworth referred to as "the Perfumed Princes". This has res
You are not looking at the interest even though it is only 2% but every 7.5 years the principal Doubles Check your math. Or just Google the Rule of 72. 2% compound interest results in a doubling period of 36 years not 7.5. Come back when you have some of the basics down. The rest of your post is gibberish based on bad math and worse assumptions.
Man, it is so refreshing to come here and see the level of interaction the Devs have with customers. I wish the rest of the industry would borrow a clue from Stardock in this regard. Thanks for the info Cari, you guys do great work.
LH - Have him contact me. I think I can help a bit on the contract front. HW is a smart guy and can easy learn any number of things that don't require a degree. Hell, I even managed it fter a bit. (no more pizza jobs thankfully). Even EL is getting out (and she is waay more of an Army 'Tard than I ever was). I don't think that even HW can change the organization from the inside out. Colangelo himself has lost most of the faith he once had in
Leauki, I respectfully disagree. I think that the average Iraqi is about as thankful for the American occupation as the average Lebanese is grateful to Israel for benevolently bombing half of Lebanon back to the stone age last year. Been there. Seen it. You don't have a clue. The vast majority of Iraqis know damn well that the day after America pulls out the bloodbaths will ensue.
My whole sad story was just to back your point that experience and competence doen't seem to matter to the Army. True. The institution seems to swing wildly about with no clear direction. What is important? What isn't? These things change in largely cosmetic fashion with every Chief of Staff but never seem to go a
You have to take the bodybuilding mags with a serious grain of salt. A. They are totally conflicted interest wise since almost every single advertiser or magazine publisher is hocking protein shit. B. Their recommendations are for bodybuilders doing mega-workouts (over over-workouts actually) that are basically destroying their muscle fibers at a rate that the human body doesn't deal well with unless you are OD'ing on protein.
Ted - True, most of the foundign fathers also realized that limiting the people's ability to just keep voting themselves money from other taxpayer's pockets was crucial to long-term success.
Ted - I agree with your point about the First Desert Storm and other intense combat ops. that being said though... In this round of the War we have a similar yet opposite problem. Many folks in "techie" MOS's stay back in the States and work remotely. Their counterparts in the same job who lack skill in the MOS are available to fill "taskers" to go forward to a FOB. One year later the guy with n
