Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Horseshit! You're going for the over-the-counter codeine.

The big problem with rail guns is that they degrade extremely rapidly, the big ones usually dont last more than one shot. This is because when the rail gun shoots, the force that is exerted on the projectile also is trying to push the rails apart, possibly warping them. And a chunk of metal flying down these rails at several km per second erodes them and ruins them.
So until I hear a solution to this problem, I dont think this is news at all.
I suppose at the very least it's supposed to be cheaper. For some reason I can't help but doubt it, though.
The Navy would probably just get more careless. "Oh, we've got more ammo to spare!"
BEW BEW BEW
ash ketchum
and then to like a bunch of hentai sites
which totally missed out on the obvious joke of changing ash's name to ash ketchcum
well that'd fall under the peace category
Seriously. If I had to make a serious response to the topic at hand, it'd sound a lot like that.

yea this is the real problem
they've had functioning railguns for like 40 years
big ones even
they just degrade too fast
PS shoe did you know that there are more than one scientists
and that they can research more than one thing.

Zombies would at least have the decency to put us out of our misery afterwards, or at the very least, smear blood all over the computer screen to protect us from the horrible, horrible images.
Ignoring the "let's make a new weapon" argument, I'd say "no, fuck that idea" because I do not want a larger food supply so we can feed hobos. That's just what we need: More fucking hobos. Let's engineer our whole economy around feeding people whose lives are spent stabbing graveyard-shift waffle-house waitresses with rusty knives and stealing their tip money. The economy does a pretty decent job of taking care of those who pull their own weight. It's not perfect or free of corruption, but focusing its energies on fueling those who do not contribute is the height of inefficiency.
Are you seriously moving to Canada? Is it for school or do you have a job lined out.

the above the influence commercial with the alien saying no to the joint and then the girlfriend flying in the aliens space ship cracked me up

defender i love you
don't you mean antonym, Captain Semantic
That being said, I really would like to be able to afford medical care.

I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
not every homeless person is a crazy lazy person, defender
some people get screwed, get this, by the government, or large corporations, or just shitty circumstances in general. like, I dunno, a hurricane.
some people, and I know this might just sound KOOKY to a PULL YOURSELF UP BY THE BOOTSTRAPS guy like you, but some people NEED AND DESERVE ASSISTANCE.
And you know i think its always best to work with what is the majority and not build up all kinds of spcial things for like maybe 5 dudes who are hobos with a heart of gold.
Yeah I had to go several months without treating a hernia a few years back because I didn't have health insurance. That sucked.
I agree that some kinds of social programs are good and that we shouldn't just be like "HAHA FUCK YOU POORFACE" to everyone who has not. But I'm not putting research money into growing food for hobos.
EDIT: Also, the more aid you give to, say, unemployed people, the less incentive you give them to get jobs. I am not saying that zero assistance is the optimal value, but I think that there should be $50,000 worth of annual support for someone who doesn't work, either. So I think the balance point is somewhere between those two extremes.
Is it the the University of Ottawa? Cuz that looked like a really slick campus to visit. I drove through the city on Canada Day weekend and it looked like it would have been a riot. Too bad I was with the fam at the time.

America. Fuck yeah.
No it's a small two year college in alberta because going to school in another country when you're not from that country is RAWTHER expensive
He should've gotten himself a record deal. Wesley Willis did it.
I disagree wholeheartedly. Those "people on the street" and the people who make use of low cost housing have no right to them. You ask me to subsidize a man simply because he needs housing or healthcare when you have no right to do so. The force of one's need does not guarantee one any rights additional to those possesed by all humanity. In saying that because you are poor, you have a right to my money, you claim that you, who live on the streets subsisting from garbage and waste, are better than me and that I must forfeit come rights to you.
I will do no such thing.
Every person has rights, that is to say, everybody has certain negative duties toward other people. I will not force you out of your right to life, liberty, or the puruit of happiness. Why do people have these rights? The answer is simple: because every human has an inherent moral worth, being a thinking, rationing individual.
Thus, ones entire moral worth rests on one's ability to make rational decisions. When you forfeit your ability to control your fate with rational thought, and instead subsist off another, you have thus forfeited all moral worth. Such an action lowers you to the level of the beasts, or worse!
In conclusion, wow, apparently I'm too late, and all of the debate happened while I was typing this post.
Imagine being from some third world country, and seeing that. It must be pretty confusing.
Edit: 'sup
NOO my beautiful egoist rant got bottom paged!
not that it would have added much
FUCK YOU POOR PEOPLE, I GOT MINES.
and on another note; was verboten your word of the day, Knob?
