He wasn't trespassing! He walked up the driveway and knocked on the front door! You don't seriously think shooting him for that was acceptable do you?

RTFA. Yes there were. Three separate people felt it was serious enough to suspend her temporarily and investigate. This was not an overreaction.

To be fair, the "key-mashing no-thinking tank" wouldn't exist in any world... Even if you try to roleplay Obelix, you have this whole personality with dreams to act out besides wanting to bash everyone. Honestly this is why I looked at MUDs in the past year and why I am starting to really enjoy them compared to modern mainstream games. You always are a nobody and you still get amazing stories. The story might be about how you and your friend hunted a bear instead of how both heroes killed a dragon... Less heroic, but it forces you to keep your ego down.

you still dont get it.

you are setting up a situation in which the machine gun is going to be much more superior. there are hundreds of yards in between the machinegun and its enemies, the enemies dont have weapons to hit him from that range, and they cant naturally close in.

it is little different from placing a rogue with no evasion ability 100 yards from an archer that has rapid shot. if you set it up that way, anything becomes a 'crowd control'. situation is not equal.

in a real life situation the infantry would have bazookas or grenade launchers to use against emplacements.

in ANY case, evne if they didnt, they would STILL be able to at least retreat and try to go around the emplacement, which was the method usually attempted in ww1, in the period where machinegun was dominant.

with crowd control concept in rpgs you cant do anything.

Me: "Hey programmer guy, we need a small program that does XYZ." .NET guy: "It's going to take 6 months and we'll need to buy a license for these modules."

PHP guy: "Sure, I can square that away in one caffein-fueled night."

I'm not saying PHP is pretty or that it's better, but this sort of thing is a regular occurrence.

mod me: "moron", as i can't mod here since i posted

sorry, i'm such a dumbass

about the only thing that i can get to work is "Try your search on Yahoo, Ask, TheWeb, Live, etc, etc", and that only works for web searches, not news or image.

i'd love to know if all or any of the other goodies are working for you or others. thanks
 

alright, i tried installing CustomizeGoogle from Mozilla's addon page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/743), and then, under noscript i allowed google.com (can't forbid google's js with noscript or customize google won't work).

the results: on web searching, now i DO get the ability to try my search on other search engines (that's my favorite thing, just one middle click on each search engine!). But when using image searching, it DOES NOT add links to other image search sites. Nor does it give convenient links to other news search sites.

And other things like being able to make image links point directly to the image aren't working....

Um, no it doesn't. It has no real name verification mechanism, so if you are like me and you go by a nickname among your friends, you can register using a nickname. I think at some point they changed it so that you couldn't change the name easily once you register ('didn't used to be that way in its first year), but if you start out with a pseudonym, they don't stop you.

As for other infos, well, use TOR and litter your profile (and friend list) with a lot of false information so that they cannot separate the truth from lie.

Or, as you said, don't use Facebook.

Yes, but in that case, just state that, rather than doubling numbers. I make far more calls than I receive, so your math fails with customers like me.

it won't work on my main machine that has FF3.5, and i love that extension, so i still have FF3.0 on my secondary machine, and i don't upgrade that machine to 3.5, just so i can keep using Customize Google.

I find maps far less distracting, far less annoying and generally far more useful. Personally, I never really trust anything with a womans voice that gives directions...
