Thank you for your description. If anyone sees someone that looks like this: report them to me immediately. They shall pay dearly for caring about mobile gaming.

I'm trying to get some GIMP plugins, holy crap I have no idea what I'm doing. It's hilarious, I'm trying to install a whatever this actually is and this is the treatment I get I go to All Programs\MinGW\, and the only thing that's there is the uninstall file! What the hell am I even doing? Edit: Turns out you need to tell the installer to install the shell, which happens to be the only way of using the program. Who knew?

Who was the genius that decided Luigi's mansion 2 to be for the 3DS? Who cares about mobile gaming?

The size of a game isn't objective at all. If the worst FPS player and puzzle player ever played HL, then played Portal 2 his opinion about which was longer would be completely different compared to another player with an inverse skill set.

I'll see what I can do.

Depends how you define "wasted". I can think of much more worthy causes for a few billion than developing diamond crystal coating. And you're going to ignore everything else I listed, cause... why, exactly? Because "Depends how you define "wasted". I can think of much more worthy causes for a few billion than modern ABM systems, Single-Stage-To-Orbit rocket technology, the "Clementine" Moon probe, adaptive optics for telescopes, interferometry technology, piezoelectrics, diamond crystal coating, high-temperature carbon fiber ceramics and nanosatellites" sounds terrible. I would place "assisting developing countries" or "curing multiple diseases" or perhaps "making the earth more sustainable" much higher on the list for funding than everything on that list combined. Spending huge amounts of money on space feels ridiculous when there's so much to do down here.

This thread is like the "Rate the avatar above you" thread for when you don't want to say "10/10"

Modern ABM systems, Single-Stage-To-Orbit rocket technology, the "Clementine" Moon probe, adaptive optics for telescopes, interferometry technology, piezoelectrics, diamond crystal coating, high-temperature carbon fiber ceramics, nanosatellites, and.. oh yeah, the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore. No technological nation has ever wasted money investing in space. Depends how you define "wasted". I can think of much more worthy causes for a few billion than developing diamond crystal coating.

I meant for the energy to be sold commercially. Copernicium exists too, but there isn't exactly a lot of it. http://pubrecord.org/politics/9116/race-space-solar-energy/ I think more money has been wasted on projects that never came to light. The SDI cost a few billion and look where that ended up.

I know what'll cheer you up,

I get the feeling that if space based energy was anywhere near cost effective or safe, at least when compared with 'standard' production methods, it would already exist in at least a limited form.

See, I put the right to life ABOVE property rights, like in the belladonna berry example. You seem to think they're the same, though I think that logic is flawed. Afterall, you can live without property, but you can't have property without your life. As for property rights being a human right, I doublechecked in the dictionary as to the definition: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/human%20rights They're saying rights that fundamentally belong to ALL persons. To me (and the dictionary), that's not property rights. Take a prisoner who has been locked up. He has no right to property, he could be very dangerous with whatever you give him and he's being punished. However, he has a right not to be tortured, has a right to have food and water, and other basic needs met. Not providing him THOSE rights most of humanity would consider to be inhumane, even for prisoners. You're saying property rights are a basic human right. What about highly dangerous criminals or mental patients? Should they be allowed to possess property when the only thing they'll do with it is hurt themselves or others? Because a HUMAN right means ALL people are entitled to it. I don't agree with Michael on most things, but the right to own property is a human right

I can hardly bring myself to watch any of the new episodes, never mind read a fanfic. And it's almost 180 thousand words, *sigh.

You know, you're like the tenth person to say that to me today! I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to realize that many American voters live in countries other than the United States.Probably because for as long as I've 'known' you I thought you were Canadian. Silly Americans, pretending to be Canadian.

It feels kind of pointless to discuss this considering his statement on this matter is already in the FAQ. I see the point in his decision as well, why promise years worth of work into Freeman's Mind for HL2 if interest is weak by the time he finishes HL1?

I think the cost of designing, upkeeping and especially launching all the equipment, and later fuel/coolant/moderator, necessary to run anything like that would outweigh any possible benefits by a landslide. You'd also be trusting essentially an enourmous radioactive satellite to run itself, with direct human intervention being hours away. Space debris and/or a coolant leak would be bad news for a few million people.I think a computer run station would be miles better than a human run one. As long as safety procedures and on board repair equipment were up to the task, it would work fine. And on the subject of making this profitable, consider the amount of money made by an entire nuclear power plant over the course of decades, and compare that to the relative pittance of construction and launch costs. Launch costs? Pittance? Even if you managed to design a station that would perfectly run itself for 40 years. It has an output of 5000 GW*h per year. 200 TW*h lifetime production. At an average price of 0.112 USD/KW*h gross income would be 2.24*10^10 or 22,400,000,000 USD. Assuming an average cost of 15,000 USD per kilogram for geosynchronous orbit, the maximum mass of the station would be 149,300 kg. For reference the ISS weighs ~450,000kgs. If you can fit a nuclear reactor and all the fuel, moderator, coolant and automated repair systems required to run it for 40 years into three ISS's, I applaud you. Of course that's assuming this whole project goes completely untaxed, there would be no need for any kind of reception facility for the energy and the reactor never goes offline. How would you even cool the reactor? You can't just vent all your coolant into space and replace it.

I think there's quite a bit of irony in that statement, Krikreng.

A thread where everyone talks about themselves eh? I can handle that. considering it's pretty much the entire internet http://steamcommunity.com/id/Alphabetagamma/screenshot/632989634239012038/

Nuclear energy eh? Well it's not my favourite form of energy, but it works. Aside from the inherent risks of using radioactive fuel and potentially dangerous waste, nuclear energy is fairly safe and efficient at the moment. But, even at the risk of sounding incredibly redundant, fusion power would be ideal. Hmm, that did sound incredibly redundant. I think the cost of designing, upkeeping and especially launching all the equipment, and later fuel/coolant/moderator, necessary to run anything like that would outweigh any possible benefits by a landslide. You'd also be trusting essentially an enourmous radioactive satellite to run itself, with direct human intervention being hours away. Space debris and/or a coolant leak would be bad news for a few million people.

Hi

Too bad, he was better at whining than Rarity.

If you want to be nasty about it, he never explicitly promised anything. "You can expect at least 2, maybe 3 episodes this month.", he never said "I promise 2-3 episodes this month". ex·pect    [ik-spekt] verb (used with object) 1. to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of: I expect to read it. I expect him later. She expects that they will come. 2. to look for with reason or justification: We expect obedience. 3. Informal . to suppose or surmise; guess: I expect that you are tired from the trip.

Come on little one, time to die! You never should have come here and now you're gonna pay! You'd better run! What are you? Scared... or something!?
