Now that's a law that I would support.

> [Researchers found] through computer simulations

Simulations are not science. I could produce my own simulation that would show exactly the opposite of what his simulation showed. It's all a matter of your assumptions. No simulation can sufficiently mimic the complexity of the real world. This is guessing and nothing more. That simulations have somehow become 'science' is just sad. Simulations, if anything, are the opposite of science.

Yes it did. The interesting strategic combat of BG2:TOB was reduced to pop-a-mole against dull indistinguishable enemies. Fighting was dumbed down to button mashing. It is probably one of the most dumbed down game in history compared to its predecessors. Took me all of about 5 minutes to get bored with it, but I still play BG2:ToB all the way through at least once a year because the combat is just so much fun. Particularly with mods like Sword Coast Strategems that make the enemies smarter.

A true sequel to BG2 is hopefully being made by Obsidian in the form of Pillars of Eternity.

Are you authorized to possess those dangerous mushrooms, Citizen? Do you have the proper permits? Are you aware that Amanita phalloides have been used in murders and have been seriously considered as a component in chemical weapons? I hope your reason for gathering them is a permitted one.

Hopefully mushroom gathering/colection will soon be outlawed. No innocent person would seek such dangerous items. Can you prove that you are not using them to commit crimes? Can you prove that you are not planning to poison food and water resources with them?

Only governments and large corporations should be allowed to possess such potentially hazardous materials. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the innocent people who will inevitably lose their lives due to uncontrolled, unregulated mushroom collection, I propose that any and all dangerous organic poisons be strictly regulated including dangerous fungals that only terrorists have an interest in. Hopefully soon we will have drones roaming the skies looking for mushroom poachers. It is only a matter of time and then society as a whole will be much safer. Oh would this inconvenience you? Sorry. But the interest of society at large trumps that of any individual.

>Hydrogen peroxide has pretty much one use: act as a chemical reagent.

Water is as well. A very effective one in fact. And water is quite commonly used as a part of making explosives. In fact I challenge you to make any sort of explosive without any access to H20, a highly dangerous chemical which needs to be under strict government control as soon as possible. Mainly to save the children.

Also it is used in making child pornography and every terrorist on the planet would be dead within a week if this dangerous chemical were only released to authorized individuals.

It's all about being safe.

But what if you happen to be a CPU who just wants to execute a series of instructions? Is there some way to tell the CPU which opcode you want to execute without also telling a human who is merely pretending to be a CPU? If it is cryptographically hidden then how can the CPU read it?

They are there to meet a good looking man. That is all. If you are good looking it won't matter if you have severed heads in your freezer.

Since microsoft are acting like a bunch of fucking morons they deserve some bashing. If you are a microsoft fanboy then what are you doing here in the first place?

How would more goods in the stores that no one (aside from drug dealers and jineteras) can afford to buy help anything? Or are we talking about giving the stuff away?

The workers *are* the means of production and they own themselves.Hopefully all will be replaced by robots soon and then robots will be the means of production and can also own themselves.

You think the Castro dynasty would give up their communist ideals just because the US lifts the embargo? Ridiculous. The truth is that the US has very little to do with Cuba's problems. All the embargo really does to Cuba is give its leaders someone to blame for everything that Cuba is not. A convenient scapegoat for the government. The US could lift the embargo tomorrow and all it would do is flood the island with American tourists making the Canadians very angry. The Cuban people would still be dirt poor because they are not allowed to make money. Their government won't let them.

But in your country you probably get paid when you work. They don't. That's the difference. Also their ration cards don't buy them much at all. Considering the fact that they work for free I think they are earning their few rolls of toilet paper, rice and beans, and the occasional toothbrush. I am sure you country is doing a lot better. Nearly everyone in Cuba is so poor they are barely surviving at all.

Are you sure you were in Cuba?

Where there isn't a lot to do? Are you fucking insane? Did you ask any Cubans what their monthly salary was? Aside from the jineteras and jineteros I mean. The people with legal jobs. Go ask them next time you are there. I think you will be in for a surprise.

Just a wild guess but you have spent no more than a week or two in Cuba and do not have a single Cuban friend. The education and healthcare are both pretty bad. The 'healthcare' you get for free is not much better than none at all.

When I lived there high quality food did not seem particularly scarce either. The food was fine. The problem was that no one has much money to buy any.
