Flying cars and cities on the moon within 50 years...

Are the baguettes fresh?

I like where this is going
*gets popcorn*

Eureka? Sanctuary? Those two are decent. The of course they have scare tactics, which I don't like, and ghost hunters, which I loathe.

They used the same thing against Church of Scientology. Basically they fax you a black sheet of paper so you run out of toner printing them.

Yes but if the person who cracks a system also does it by writing his code, you take the hac and you ad the ker from cracker... no wait you take the crac and add the ker from hacker?

One sided wars are better than evenly matched wars by far. Better in terms of casualties anyway. Though if your goal is population control, evenly matched conflict will thin the herd quite a bit.

Try to explain this point to an average American, and all you will get is "Freedom Fries."

Yep -- thanks. I should read past the abstract, I suppose.

... so far, at least. My profile is just the same as yesterday. Only when I clicked on a friend's profile did I see the change.

There was a button I could click to follow suit, but I ignored it.

It's not penguin's idea of comfort either!

Parent is accurate. The ensuing wars from USA's demise would severely deplete Human populations across the globe. Think how fast China would invade Taiwan. And Mongolia for that matter. How quickly would North Korea roll South. WWRD? What Would Russia Do? Say bye bye to Georgia, that's for sure. Venezuela invading Columbia? No that would never happen... Iran invading Iraq... I wonder. And these are just off the top of my head.

Yes this is definitely the best feature of original SC! I loved how the team of players could also choose different races. And you started with the command structure of player #1 (Human CC for example), but you got your own drone or probe as a starting worker to build a Nexus or Hatchery later!

Personally I love coop in a RTS! Another game that had this feature was Conquest: Frontier Wars. Excellent game too. I recall one match where we had 3 players vs 2 players, with each side controlling only one empire. It seemed that the side with 3, which I was on, came out on top BY A LOT. It really makes a lot of difference if you can keep track and micro more of your empire.

I don't know what state you live in, but in NJ it's not "low pay" at all.
