I meant members of parliament, but let's say you were a military policeman watching a movie when someone attacked the US.
They'd want you at the base PDQ.

It was a long space strategy game, and instead of ganking the huge fleet everyone else was attacking, I went zig instead and wiped out the home planet of the guy with the most victory points. I had quietly upgraded my ships to go further than anyone else, so it was seriously out of nowhere.
They're illegal for good reason.
Perhaps you've never had an important call before. One of the jobs I interviewed for was Communication Engineer for the Ambulance Service. That job required 24/7/365.24 on-call duties because
when 911 stops working, it has to get the fuck up fucking fast.
Sometimes doctors go home, sometimes MPs will go to a movie.
Point taken.
My Board Game Geek badge says "RANDOM TACTICS".
Confuse, deflate, conquer. It's worked very well for me. Nobody can anticipate your moves if you're not even sure what you're going to do next.
I've actually had one game where everyone else at the table just stopped, stared at the board, and one guy said quietly, "I really wasn't expecting you to do that."
And yet they seriously have no problem at all with C-3P0? That robot would have been kicked out of a 70's era San Fransisco YMCA.
Okay, I'll buy that, but why would they have to do that at all? If all the female NPCs have flirty options for males and all the male NPCs have flirty options for women, just use those existing options.
i.e., change this:
if( ( player.gender() == male && NPC.gender() == female ) || ( player.gender() == female && NPC.gender() == male ) )
{
dialogChoice.flirty == true;
}
to
dialogChoice.flirty == true;
Hey guys, no worries, I went in and changed the passwords.

This is one of the funnier things I've read today, thank you.
Where my ex works, they had to get rid of sick days.
See, everyone got 10 sick days a year but they were bankable. So you had people coming in baked out of their minds on cold meds getting everyone else sick and banking the time to use as extra vacation time.
What they ended up doing was giving everyone unlimited sick days that switch to STD once you go 30 days in a row. Abusers are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
I can make do without terrible sex once every couple of months, thanks.
Been shaving since 2004.
I'm separated, and I can't think of any good reasons to be in a relationship again.
anything can be thought of as imminent risk to security.
That's exactly what I was thinking. If the ISP is able to make the decision on their own, this won't prevent much other than the general monitoring of all traffic. It would still be very easy for them to see a large amount of traffic to one customer and decide that it might represent an imminent risk for one reason or another.
ISP decision making in Canada:
1. Will this cost more money than doing fuck all?
2. Do fuck all.
3. Profit.
I've never seen a good movie adaptation of a book. LotR was pretty good, but so much went missing or was different than what we imagined...
The worst I've ever seen was The Postman. It's one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. I re-read it last month, and there were parts that brought a tear to my eye.
We should clone a mammoth just because we can. I mean, holy shit, a mammoth. We could do it too.
