    Insurers Blame Fatal Stage Collapse on Illegal Music Sharing

    This is a case where 'logic' can be twisted both ways! If it is true that piracy has become highly rampant, then why would more people be going to concerts if they already have their music on hand?(and face it, some bands are good on cd, but not so in person) It seems to follow that if people...

    Fallout: *Insert City Here*

    Fallout: Seattle... that could work, lots of buildings, some screwy road intersections, docks, or head out of town and lots of tree covered hills n the cascades(its the evergreen state, we'll still be green after nuclear fallout!).

    Something found at the botton of the Baltic Sea. Nobody has fucking clue what it is.

    Aye accurate, this *can* be done with publicly available gear, it is rated to go quite deep so long as properly maintained and repaired, and I myself have been down to 180ft/55m with no failures. (Note I'm certified to deep diving with some side stuff towards more advanced certs, tho don't...

    So......what exactly happens if the US can't raise the debt ceiling?

    I agree and this is true, if the govt displays a habit of always raising the ceiling and making no effort to drive down our expenses, the dollar will fall, fewer will want to loan to us if we're always at risk of not paying, and the economy will have some bad fluxes to it. But, in the near...

    So......what exactly happens if the US can't raise the debt ceiling?

    I'm no expert, what I know is inference or what I have picked up from more knowledgeable people, but some things I do recall: We won't necessarily 'default' on our debt come early August, as the predicted income is 164 billion, with projected spending at 255 billion. 120 billion or so of...

    US Seeks Extradition For UK Student's Copyright Violation

    Oh jeez, I really hate how my country works sometimes... In manner of US law as I know it he is rather heavily skirting the law. It is illegal to upload/share/seed/host copyrighted material without permission. What he did was merely link to other sites(and by sounds allow his users to add...

    Rapture Tomorrow

    Well, tomorrow I'll wake up and have survived my second 'end of the world' scare as my memory serves, a nice resume addition. Though you know what they say, third time's the charm and all, so when is the next one? oh, 2012? ...well darn, we're screwed.

    Use whatever is in the room you're in right now to defend yourself.

    Well, my room is sadly not an armory, so mostly heavy books, bags, pens, 4 inch blade, and a scuba diving flashlight(not supposed to be in here >> ). Tho I am on the top floor, so barring an aerial insertion I'd have time to get my longbow from my closet n strung, any punk tryin to come up...

    Poll: Does this inspire controversy?

    I personally don't see wrong with it, he is way too young to have a 'sexual' identity. Sure it can be argued that if he is raised like this for years yet he will then have a preference to 'pink n pretty' things (quoting a friend who mentioned this earlier), but to me that isn't an argument to...

    Poll: Poll: A/O Rated Duke Nukem Forever?

    Eh, it could make it even more chauvinist and entertaining, sure why not, though I'm sure Fox would 'mix up' the two and go even more insane over the capture the babe mode. And on a random note, if all they have to do would be to remove the alien loincloth, then that means some poor sap had...

    A sleepless week

    Actually, dying from lack of sleep takes a long time to really set in, however absent medical monitoring it can still be a risk, and you probably will have moments of micro sleep. The record for longest time without sleep(not using stimulants, medically monitored, and readily available data)...

    There's Starving People in Africa...

    I solved this annoying statement a long time ago, just follow it out logically! Ok, so someone in africa is starving, therefore since they have it worse I shouldn't feel bad. But someone has it worse from them, say, a starving african kid with no legs. Then someone has it worse than them...

    Rumor: Japanese Security Dashed Steve Jobs' Ninja Hopes

    Well he obviously wanted to become a ninja, but why would the league of ninjas possibly think of recruiting him now if he can't even sneak some shuriken onboard his own plane... ...In a more serious matter, I see this as probably true, as such an incident seems to have happened on the same...

    Do you believe in the sixth sense?

    I'd say I believe in having a sixth sense yeah, and I have my own evidence of it, although it seems to be directed towards my family, lets see here. When I was young and still had to share a room with my brother, was a normal day, but when we went to crash for the night we felt off-kilter and...
