In Call of Duty: World at War you can reload the M1 mid-clip.

The comment used to have non-alphanumerics, but slashdot doesn't support unicode.

While the clips look amazing, I can't say that I'm in the least bit shocked by this. GPU's and CPU's are only getting more powerful, so it would stand to reason that this kind of thing is finally becoming feasible. The real question is whether or not this game

Just because the rules still apply doesn't mean that they are followed.

Agh just realized I have to please the trolls - my suggestion is merely a pointer to a concept, not the implementation, one would not actually use only the count of twits at any given second.

It's the other way around ;) OH HERRO PREASE!

It's because health care is not as black and white as fire rescue and policing services. For the most part, everyone needs the same level of fire and police protection. Individuals are equally likely to need police protection, or to need the fire department to put out a fire. It is also not logical for an individual to hire their own police/fire departments to protect them.

The same cannot be said when it comes to health care. The level of health care needed depends on many factors that are within an individuals control (i.e. lifestyle, eating habbits, exercise, etc. etc) It is also reasonable, and logical to have your own personal doctor and pay them as neccesary when you get sick. It has been done like that since the beginning.

I mean, exclusively coding in Python? Who's got a paying job? Just curious.

Why do they have to be random? Why not just go through them alphabetically or chronologically? Wouldn't you need access to a system to be able to predict anything from a RNG based on this?

It survived without him for about 12 years; no reason to believe it can't survive without him permanently if he shuffles off.
