Because it's funny: US says their bomb is bigger... in Everything Else Sins Forums

http://en.rian.ru/world/20070913/78518873.html It's penis contests like this that make me love US-Russian relations... God it's wonderful... anyway... apparently this is a 14 ton bomb... which is ridiculous as you'd have to use a b52 or something to drop it... and unlike the russian bomb this one "penetrates" and has been specifically earmarked for use against Iran's nuclear bunkers should we decide to take his toys away... and give him a fair spanking for all the tro

Its intent was to make sure that power was not held in by one single man. And in that it has failed. I see no point in keeping it. Makes a nice conversation piece though. First it has not failed as we have no king. So you're just ridiculously wrong there. Furthermore it was also made to protect the individual from mob politics. It has held so far... it does show signs of wear but nothing is perfect under the sun... what is damaged can be re

I am not one to work for the 'man'. You're not working for the man. you're working for yourself... all you have to do is make a life for yourself and stop being such a whiny little bitch. *boo hoo nothing matters... life sucks* Either put on black eye make up and listen to sad music alone in your room... while cutting yourself in a desperate cry for help... or join the rest of humanity... I have no patience for your bleating. <

Meh... in any game like that difficulty is measured in number of turns required to do it. The number of turns required to take them down was a LOT.

No, I just assume they had half a brain and wrote down exactly what they meant, in language that recognizes the basic fact that cultures change. They didn't anticipate your level of distortion. They also assumed some level of respect for the constitution. Furthermore, you're contradicting yourself now. You know they failed at putting things down in recursive legal terms, so you cannot in your argument assume that they did write "e

Why is that unhealthy? I'd explain, but as someone else pointed out this is starting to drift into areas that shouldn't be discussed here, because the general public considers them obscene and that is against the rules of 99.9% of forums. I won't even bother checking the rules for this forum to see if its there for it. Either make a new thread or PM me your response then. Otherwise this is a cope

You're done because you're wrong. You're trying to say something is impossible when you cannot make the claim. It's not credible. Period. there is scientific basis for my claims, if you dont understand them go ask someone who does. I've had enough trying to explain them to you. That's a cope out. you don't understand yourself. again, sentience cannot work on a serial

Another idea for pirates is "privateers" which are basically allied pirates. Pirates in your territory that don't hurt your ships but prey upon enemy systems... then run back to your systems to sell their booty, repair, and rearm... i like the sound of that... it also makes a lot of sense for the pirates. Look, the last thing they want is some huge battlefleet comin

actually Iraq was a pretty good place to start. The only thing I'd say about it was that maybe we should have finished in Afghanistan first. But Saddam was perfect... his country was in violation of a million UN resolutions, no body liked him, his people hated him, and his country is right next to Iran and Saudi Arabia... the two countries most responsible for terrorism but which are too strong and too tied into US foreign policy to attack.

Please explain why prudishness is bad for our society. As I pointed out there are advantages and disadvantages. Did you just skip over my post? I already answered this one. Promiscuity (and sexual restraint) are not what I was referring to. As you can see from that quote, I didn't even use the world promiscuity. I used YOUR word. Prudishness. Read my post first befor

big pirate fleets like that are kind of cool though. One of the best things about Masters of Orion was the Antaries however that's spelled... it was VERY hard to take them down. And every so often they'd send in an invasion fleet that would f' you up if you weren't ready for them. Often you'd just have to say "well, I lost that planet and I'm ok with that" *tries to smile*... they were tough and a fun challenge in the game. Another idea for pirates is "privateers" whi

if it can't be used as a bunker buster then it's almost completely worthless in the conflicts either of our countries might be involved in. if the US goes against russia the last thing we'll be using is these things... we'll be raining ICBMs on each other...

currently no. But the point is that our brains aren't doubling in processing power every 18 months... our computer are again, I'll reitterate that our brains are much smaller and unless computers have a drastic change in core construction, they will NEVER be able to get as small as our brains. its simply a matter of construction. Who says the AI has to be the same size as the human brain? We weren't ta

Perhaps it does. But it overlooks something: guns make it easier for people to be dangerous without any time, effort, or training. That isn't overlooked. It's the point. You're supposed to be dangerous. Again... I am supposed to be powerful. Citizens are supposed to be powerful. Our voice controls the country and if anyone messes with us we can always use the final option of blowing their freakn' brains out. <br

From how they describe it, the bomb creates a pressure wave so intense that it drives most of the "air" out of the blast radius... not just oxygen but nitrogen, etc... no burned away so much as pushed away... just for a split second... apparently that shockwave is what does the damage. I'd like to see what that bomb can really do though. The only use of such weapons is bunker busters. Or clearing patches of the jungle for landing fields... Anyway, unless they wan

either way nothing can compare to the massively parallel system in our heads. currently no. But the point is that our brains aren't doubling in processing power every 18 months... our computer are... Furthermore our understanding of AI is progressing very quickly compared to natural evolution. Evolution is VERY VERY SLOW... so lets say it takes us another 1000 years to crack sentient AI... so what?... 1000 years is no

I assume they're not doing tracking turrets because they want to keep system requirements down. Further, tracking turrets don't really add anything to the tactics or strategy of the game which is my primary focus. That said, it would be nice to have at the very least as an optional feature.

No, I'm doing my darnedest to read exactly whats in it. Without examining precidence and the philosophy of the founders it's open to misinterpretation. You KNOW that the document was not written in precise legal terms. That leaves it open for exploitation. Which is what you're doing. Just an FYI, but to quote a favorite book of mine: "There are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous people." <br/

Reply to Oh Russia, thou hathed learned nothing. in Everything Else Sins Forums

this is much a do about nothing. The Russians are famous for making weapons just for publicity. For example, they've built the world's biggest atomic bomb... so what? *yawn* We've built the smallest one. That's a lot harder to do. Our nuke system for example basically is a nuke cluster bomb that spread mini nukes over a wide area and then detonates them all in a pattern. Causing FAR more damage then some mega nuke while using less material. The Russ
