Yes that is correct. Everything has either a price, or dignity. Things with dignity are priceless. Both the thief and the security officer have dignity, and thus we can not value their lives in terms of golf-balls. However, the security guy was risking his own life for the sake of justice, and...

bah! Apparently my laptop is also 32 bit. I did not know this. Also, the installer from this service only supports the upgrade, and not a full install. So basically I wasted 30 dollars.

Let the whole world perish, should justice be done -- Immanuel Kant Yes.

Woops, got 64 bit upgrade instead of 32, so its completely useless to me. I could do a fresh install, but I really don't want to. I'll just install this on my laptop instead and keep on running XP on my desktop. --First time looking at win 7. I despise the new taskbar. Circle in rectangle for...

This is exactly why it was a commendable and ethical thing to do. Risking your own life simply to do the right thing takes a lot of courage. That doesn't mean it isn't stupid to do so. There is a fine line between stupidity and bravery -- but one can be ethical without being particularly smart...

The fact stands that he did the right thing, regardless of store policy. I would commend anyone in his place for doing the right thing. It doesn't matter if he's a "regular citizen," it doesn't matter if the store "doesn't want" him to do these things. Catching a knife-wielding thief and turning...

The number of games I buy per year has steadily decreased over time. Perhaps I'm becoming less of a gamer..but I still play video games -- they just happen to either be free indie games, or old games I've already bought. Come to think of it, I did purchase Fallout 3 this year, but that was...

They do not return to earth. Most, if not all, of the probes sent out have a single chemical rocket burn, and coast through space for the remainder of their lifetimes. Some probes currently in planning may return to earth using a xenon-ion engine, but no probes out there currently have this...

To get (") in your string, use an escape charachter, ie string neww = " \"" this would end up replacing every space with the string (_") where _ is a space. Then you just insert (") at the beginning of the string and at the end. EDIT: I don't know what you're doing with number 2. Are you...

This is true. The war started for many reasons, but anyone who says slavery was not a big part of it is either mistaken or not being truthful. The South's major complaint with the US government was the fact that congress was placing limits on slavery in the frontier, and de-facto limits on...

most people on the internet are probably troglodytes who think they know something about politics but really dont. if they organize and act quickly, non-troglodytes are kinda in a disadvantage here. well, there's probably not gonna be a flame war, but alot of them (like jverne) have an itch on...

What language are you using? What specific issues are you running in to? Don't expect people to do your homework for you, but I'm sure we'd be happy to help if you had any specific problems. The language you're using is very important in answering this question. For instance, if you were...

The idea is that this would be primarily used to put cargo in orbit, like fuel, water, and food, while conventional rockets could carry people and sensitive scientific equipment. Most of the launch capacity for rockets is taken up by fuel, food, and water anyway, so it could dramatically improve...

Latest build of BeeStruction.

woah, what the hell is that? Please don't tell me sins of a solar empire.

Nobody should be subject to any punishment other than jail time or fines, and possibly community service or parole. Physical alteration of someone's body who has allegedly committed a crime is a grave error in human rights. On that note, capital punishment is an abomination which should be...

Way to miss my point.

Oh, so basically it makes everything dark? MODERN GAMING

The specific riot at UPitt was not greenpeace. Yesterday morning Greenpeace did hold a demonstration on the bridge outside Carnegie Mellon, and they hung up a sign on the bridge, and blocked traffic. Police dispersed them and closed off the bridge. When I tried to cross, they told me to go...
