There are plenty of single men that don't have kiddy porn on their computer. The bestiality porn I can almost get. You can't tell me that there isn't some part of you that's curious as to how someone has sex with a badger and lives to tell about it, let alone film it. Beyond that curiosity however, I'm afraid that I have to hang a "sick bastard" sign.

There is no fucking excuse for the kiddy porn. I know I've defended shit like lolicon since it's just drawings and not actual child abuse, but I think that anyone found in possession of such material should be placed under VERY strict observation for awhile. If it was actual pictures than this person should be sent to prison... With the word pedophile tatooed to his forehead... In the general population and not segregated as they normally do with those types of sex offenders...

I have my doubts that this story can actually be adequately told in just 90 to 120 minutes. The Watchmen is a complicated story with a lot of things going on. Not only is it a deconstruction / psychological profile of the superhero genre, but it's also got some extremely deep philosophical elements to it. When I think about someone reducing the story to a 120 page screenplay I just have to cringe.

I have a feeling that whatever they cut out will cripple the narrative and just leave the audience completely confused.

Funny thing is... I've never met a nice South African

well, a nice WHITE South African anyway...

I Work in Houston as a Chemical Inspector and your 100% right... World is going to hell and were sitting on a Ton of Oil and Coal and we cant tough it.

Not that Big Oils not to blame any Mind you. Middle east Oil is SO MUTCH BETTER than the black sulfher laden Tarry crap we have over here. Most people dont know this little fact and think all Crude is the same.. ITS NOT. Its Vastly cheaper for Oil Companys to Make gas outa oil from overseas than useing our stuff. thats one of the reasons they want more Alaska oil, Its better.

It Drives me Up the wall that people are so Narrowminded and uninformed that they think were outa oil.. Were just running outa the oil that can be made in to gas Cheaply, Cleanly and Easly.

Worst of all is that the Enviromental movement Has been Stoning to Death anyone who Trys to Drill, Build a new Refinery (Needed probably more than Cheap oil To be Honest). in Other Countrys like Norway(i think it was) the Enviromental movement Worked WITH the oil companys and now they are 80%+ Self Sustained.. Ours is Choaking us to death.

Can we Get outa this? YES Easly It wont be fast or Cheap, But the Knowledge is there, the People are Here, the Oil, Coal, Wind, Solar, NaturalGas,  are all Readly Known about. Just need Leadership from Washington(Not there) and The Enviromental Groups to STFU and help reather than Hurt the Good old USA and we can Recover.

Will this happen... Fudge no D.C. Politics are So far Up there own Bums to see the Light of day.

Republicans and Demacrats are Both to blame for this Mess. And if you think Obama or McCain are gana save you Your saddly Wrong.

Gods bless you for that sir. May you live a thousand years and never grow old.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I did wanted to get the first one, but I found a copy without a manual and case and I felt that this is the type of game you might can't live without a manual. I brought IW on Xbox. So the original is free on GameTap? Do you play it from a browser or does it runs as a normal PC game? I'm really interested in playing the original. I might try to finish IW. I mean I brought, KotoR II and beat it before playing the first one. I honestly felt that the first one was smoother, but I haven't finished it yet (haven't even gotten my lightsaber).

You gotta download that Gametap client and make a Gametap ID, all totally free. Then you start Gametap, log in and find the game in the free games ring under shooters. There are only two free first person shooters on the list, Deus Ex and Diakatana (don't ask, you don't want to know...).

After that you download the game through the Gametap client (took me about 30 minutes) and then just hit the "start play" button and you're in. It's actually a lot easier than it sounds on paper.

The first Deus Ex is available on Steam. Or you can play it for free on Gametap. You'll need a Gametap ID since it's a mature rated game and all that jazz, but it's still completely free.

This was the only Deus Ex game IMHO.

doesnt make no damn sense. A senator is playing the game to find a rape scene but they think its cinematic art when 11 year old (back then) Dakota Fanning wanted to play a girl being raped.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakota_Fanning

nutty double standard

It was also considered art when Brooke Shields played a prostitute at the age of 11 in Pretty Baby. As I recall, she had a couple of full nude scenes in that movie as well as a full blown sex scene. But that was "art" so that made it all okay....

I saw this vid and realized just how long I've been playing video games. I feel really, really, old now...

Thinking back, I probably spent enough money in those old arcades to buy half the machines featured in that vid. Man those were different times! I remember seeing arcade cabinets at gas stations, grocery stores, bars, just everywhere. And just just about everyone plunked a quarter down. When did gaming move so far away from the mainstream...?

And that's pretty much what fail is. I hope this helps...

I'm not voting this time around. If I do, I'm putting Ron Paul on the "other" section as a vote of no confidence. I don't really feel that either candidate this time around will benefit the American people.

Let's start with McCain. Here we have a man that served in Vietnam and was a prisoner of war. Sounds like he's got some balls right? Well, not anymore. The last time he ran the republican party questioned his sanity, due to his experiences as a POW, and then slandered him by claiming that he was taking care of an illegitimate black love child. BTW, McCain adopted a little orphan girl from Bangladesh and W muck rakers just took family pictures of this off color child out of context in order to sway racist voters. Thing is, McCain is STILL in the republican party!! I don't know about the rest of you, but I would have told the GOP to go fuck themselves after just one of those things. McCain took both and continued to be a complacent little lap dog. I wonder if it hurt when they removed his spine...

Obama, on the other hand, is probably the most talented and gifted politician any of us are likely to see in this generation. The problem is that he's the most talented and gifted politician that any of us are likely to see in this generation. He's slick and it's hard to take anything he says at face value. I honestly don't see him taking office and dismantling Homeland Security or disposing of the Patriot Act or removing any of the consolidated executive powers that have been accumulating over the past eight years of the Bush administration. Considering that Obama would be occupying a position that has traditionally been denied to African-Americans and the guarantee that there will probably be constant assassination attempts, removing any of the executive powers that are currently in place would be absolutely suicidal. The end result is a continuation of democratic lip service to change as they sit on the sidelines and let republicans continue to whittle away at our constitutional rights. There is a slight chance that we can leave Iraq gracefully if (when) Obama gets elected, but I'm not holding my breath.

The rest of you can argue over who's better for the job and talk about how conservatives / liberals are destroying this country and blah, blah, blah. The rest of us realize that this country was bought and paid for long before we were ever born.

As an afterthought: Isn't it interesting that there was so much venom directed at W. Bush but not one person took a shot at him? Sure, somebody shot Reagan, but out of mental illness and not politics. This is the reason we have a right to bear arms people. Politicians can ignore marches, petitions, sit ins, slogans, etc. it's much harder for them to ignore bullets. I guess we didn't hate W so much after all...

$3.99!!!???

Where I'm at it's $4.50 a gallon and further up north it's a full five dollars!!!

... lucky bastard....

the death and resurrection thing is actually pretty common in all theistic religions. Dionysus, Odin, Osiris, and so on, all died and returned according to their respective mythologies. This tablet neither confirms nor disproves anything.

Then you'll have to take baseball off of the list. Yes, there are parts of baseball that can be pretty physical. However, most of the action takes place when (sometimes more like if) someone actually hits the ball. The rest of the game is just waiting for something to happen. You have plenty of time to catch your breath before you need to swing, throw or run. The pitcher is probably the only person that could be considered to be getting a workout, but I've never seen one that looked physically exhausted before.

yes as said before hydrogen has its issues, it may be the future it may not, Or maybe it will just be all like minority report where the cars are electric and magnetic to go up buildings :)

Anyway the point is none the less that we need to get off of oil, be it a little at a time or large swoop. Start usuing ethanole and bio diesel(80% of what you use to make it actually become bio diesel) its cleaner and requires a highly less amount of oil. Was actually on dirty jobs recently , the guy who had the car got about 40 mpg and spends about 10$ to fill his tank (forget how much his tank is) and as noted its emissions are much cleaner and smells like fahitas.

Be it a eviromental issue or a economy issues getting off of oil is important no matter how ya swing it,

I oppose ethanol because that cuts into the food supply. Feeding people takes priority over driving. I do, however, support the production of biofuels from recycled sources such as used restaurant frying oil or agricultural waste.

I'm not so much about getting off of oil, there's enough oil under North Dakota to last us a couple hundred years at least, but more along the lines of driving down the price of gas. If enough people aren't buying petroleum, then the result is a surplus and a decrease in price.

what is HHO? i must have missed something.

Oxyhydrogen. It's two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.Very flammable and corrosive to boot.

You aren't thinking to scale. If you look at some of the related searches you'll see that electric companies in the southwest have been using parabolic mirrors and sterling engines for a while now. If you mirrored a fifteen foot fiberglass satellite dish ( about 75% mirrored) and placed an appropriate sized sterling on it, you could probably generate about 10 to 14kw for quite a bit less than the cost of photovoltaic cells of the same capacity. You might even be able to get an added boost by adding a fresnel lens below the engine at the dish's focal point.

So I'm not a big environmentalist. I don't talk to trees. I don't wear hemp clothing. I eat meat. I own pets. I bath and shave regularly. I hold a job. You get the idea.

But every now and then, the green cult comes up with ideas that are... practical. And by practical, I mean they save you some money. Turning an old satellite dish into a solar trough for a sterling generator turns out to actually work. Growing your own vegetables in a garden or greenhouse to cut down on food expenses seems like a no brainer to me. And cutting fuel costs buy car pooling, using public transit, or riding a bike (distances of five miles or less) also makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, alternative fuels are one of those things that don't fit the practical idea category.

The current darling of alternative fuels is hydrogen. Actually it's HHO. You can make this stuff relatively easily with simple electrolysis and all kinds of DIY cheapskates are doing just that in the assumption that this will make them free of $10 a gallon gas. If only it were that easy.

Let's start with the second thermodynamic law. Whenever you convert energy from one form to another, you lose some energy in the form of heat. In layman's terms, the electricity that you use to separate the hydrogen from water could just be used to power your car directly without any loss of power. With fuel cell cars, the commercial kind that convert hydrogen back into water to generate electricity, you lose even more power since it takes energy to make the hydrogen, then even more energy to create electricity. If you were powering your car on straight electricity or straight hydrogen you would be more efficient than a fuel cell car. Did I mention that a small amount of water is destroyed, never to come back? Yeah. There's also that. Check this out:

Water electrolysis does not convert 100% of the electrical energy into the chemical energy of hydrogen. The process requires more extreme potentials than what would be expected based on the cell's total reversible reduction potentials. This excess potential accounts for various forms of overpotential by which the extra energy is eventually lost as heat. For a well designed cell the largest overpotential is the reaction overpotential for the four electron oxidation of water to oxygen at the anode. An effective electrocatalyst to facilitate this reaction has not been developed. Platinum alloys are the default state of the art for this oxidation. The reverse reaction, the reduction of oxygen to water, is responsible for the greatest loss of efficiency in fuel cells. Developing a cheap effective electrocatalyst for this reaction would be a great advance.

The simpler two-electron reaction to produce hydrogen at the cathode can be electrocatalyzed with almost no reaction overpotential by platinum or in theory a hydrogenase enzyme. If other, less effective, materials are used for the cathode then another large overpotential must be paid.

The energy efficiency of water electrolysis varies widely with the numbers cited below on the optimistic side. Some report 50–70%^[2], while the theoretical maximum efficiency of the electrolysis of water is between 80–94%.^[3] These values refer only to the efficiency of converting electrical energy into hydrogen's chemical energy. The energy lost in generating the electricity is not included. For instance, when considering a power plant that converts the heat of nuclear reactions into hydrogen via electrolysis, the total efficiency may be closer to 30–45%.^[4]

But why not run your car on straight HHO? Well... For starters, it burns hotter than gasoline. H2 is used in wielding, normally when you want to cut solid steel. If you get the mixture of H2 going into your fuel injectors wrong, your engine block will melt like a pop sickle in a toaster oven. Then there's the fact that you'll be storing this stuff in a pressurized tank (several hundred PSI) attached somewhere on your car. Better hope you don't get into any accidents or you'll be engulfed in a horrifying, super heated, visually spectacular fireball that's hot enough to vaporize most metal alloys.

But if hauling around a potential hydrogen bomb doesn't bother you then the only thing you can do that might reduce your car's gas consumption is injecting hydrogen into your engine ALONG WITH gasoline. However, to do this you have to know your car and the physics behind this cold or you'll destroy your car and possibly be injured or even killed.

To be honest, I'd rather just convert my old Pontiac into an electric rather than take that kind of a risk. I can't imagine that the fuel cell cars that are currently being built will be any safer TBH.

Hate to break this to you guys but the intelligence quotient is just a number based on the average performance of just the people that take that particular test. The average IQ for a man is 90 while the average IQ for a woman is 100, but those numbers mean different things depending on the size of the sample and the time that the survey was taken.

As bone through nose stupid as most people are today, I don't think that an IQ of over 100 really means a as much as it might have in say... 1920. With the average intelligence of people today, you'd probably score genius if you can find your own ass with both hands

BTW, I took an IQ test when I was in Junior high, can't tell you which one, and I think I scored at or around 120. I'm not sure and I haven't been retested since. No surprise there. I stopped comparing myself to others a long time ago.
