  1. Yeah really, it's not too hard to lift it up or put it down before you do your stuff. I'm curious, does this happen a lot? Do women really want the toilet seat down?
  2. Invisibility. Watch out, girls. :)No really though, I'd choose invincibility, because pain sucks.
  3. If you're having fun, you can't really say time is being wasted, unless, of course, you think having fun is a waste of time. I think this all depends on your life objective. Do you want to be rich? Then playing games could hinder that life objective. Personally, I just want to live a life where I'm happy, so to me, games are great.
  4. So dry skin may make you break out more? What about pool water? I really need to find a way to get rid of my acne.
  5. I'm usually doing a sport(swimming usually), chilling around with my friends, or glowsticking. In between all that I sleep.
  6. Last book I read was Babbitt by Lewis Sinclair. Don't read this book, it's boring. And it was purposely made boring by the author to satirize the 1920's middle class' monotonous brainwashed society.
  7. Any Mets fans here?I'm getting chills and blasts of memories from last year, now that the Phillies are just 1 game behind us. Sunday's game was just brutal, it was like a good movie with a really bad ending(No Country For Old Men).The good news is that we'd be winning the wild card if the Phillies passed us, but after last year, I'm not content with settling with the wild card. We need to tell the Phillies that we are the better team, you guys got lucky last year and it's not happening again. I mean, we even went out and got Johan Santana, and he was supposed to be the difference maker. Of course, this year we have some bad injuries(Maine and Wagner) that might cost us. We need a real closer to pitch for us, instead of this Luis Ayala guy, it's really unfortunate that Billy Wagner had to get hurt down the stretch. And during the off season we might need to sign a FA, maybe Brian Fuentes or K-Rod. I don't think we'll get K-Rod though because we still have to pay Billy Wagner's salary.Let's hope for the best, because I don't know what I'm going to do in October if the Mets don't get in.
  8. I don't think movies and video games desensitize people. Yes, they are seeing blood. Yes, they are killing people in games. But it all comes down to this question: do they know that they're not in real life? I've played tons of bloody games, and seen countless movies with death and destruction. I watch it knowing that this is just a movie, it's not real.When I saw a pool of blood for the first time in real life, it was completely different from a being immersed in a made up world. I remember thinking, "Wow. So this is what blood looks like". Violence in games and movies are not the same as violence in real life. It's much more real(for lack of a better word) in real life.
  9. Maybe these societal morals are embedded into our minds by genetics. Let's say that love comes naturally. Human beings can love without society telling them that they can love. Let's also say that when a loved one dies, or is hurt, humans feel grief naturally as well. Perhaps morality stems from these two conjectures: morality stems from emotions. Murder is wrong because you don't want you or your loved ones to die. Stealing is wrong because it's not fair for someone to take away something you worked hard on. So in all, no one decided these things, it came about naturally.For some of the other things like drugs and smoking, they kill you, so it's wrong. Green lights mean go and red lights mean stop is arbitrary and is just there to prevent people from dying from car accidents.
  10. But the thing is, younger people grew up with this stuff, so it's a lot easier to pick up, so the younger generation is not really smarter, just accustomed to new things. That seems unlikely, because by your logic, problems would be eliminated quickly if each generation learned from the mistakes of the previous generation. War still occurs, violence is still everywhere, and genocides are still happening.
  11. I've only been snowboarding once and skiing once, and I can tell you I have a lot more respect for snowboarders. Skiing was really easy to learn compared to snowboarding, and a lot less painful. After my first day of snowboarding, I was sore, everywhere, from falling.I haven't done any of the other things though.
  12. Oh yeah, there is no comparison between Chrome and Firefox/Internet Explorer, but the Firefox Beta and Internet Explorer beta are almost on par with Chrome. I'd pull up some articles I read before, but I'm too lazy.
  13. I was thinking about something like that. That idea sounds very interesting and I think it'll work. Thanks.
  14. Well, I want to use an outside program to do this, so Sessions wouldn't really work right? And I don't want a login thing, I only want my program to be able to add to this database, rather than certain people.I guess I could use Post, but that would only be slightly more secure since you can just look at the headers.Sorry about the confusion.
  15. My least favorite sport to play is track. There's nothing appealing about running around in circles. Watching Usain Bolt beat the WR without trying is fun though, so watching is cool.Least favorite to watch is soccer. Not enough action from me.
  16. Pros:Very LightweightChrome's new Javascript engine is very fastIncognito Mode(aka porn mode)Each tab is a separate process which means when one tab crashes, not all of them do like in FirefoxCons:No add-onsI don't think I could notice a difference in speed, so the add-ons make me stick with Firefox. And Firefox doesn't crash enough for me to switch over for the tab process thing.
  17. Being gay is not a choice, it's based on genetics. The reason why homosexuality is not weeded out by natural selection, is that the homosexuality gene benefits females, something like that. That being said, something defined by your genetics should never be defined as right or wrong. It's akin to saying having black skin is wrong. Or that blond hair is right. It's not something you can control. Even if it wasn't genetic, what are they doing that is so wrong? How does loving someone become immoral because they are both the same gender? Whose right is it to prevent them from loving each other because they are homosexual? Again, genetics. They were actually made to love people with the same gender.
  18. Does anyone not play CS anymore and wouldn't mind letting me use their steam account? :)PM me details. Notice from jlhaslip: Please be sure to use better titles and add a description to the Topic. Thanks
  19. I absolutely love StarCraft. I love it to the point that I still play with my friends even though I have quit like 5 or 6 times. Playing online almost never gets boring with the variety of options.Your first option is a regular melee game. Blizzard has made this game as balanced as a game can get between the three races(Except for tanks. Screw tanks). With each race you have your advantages and disadvantages. Zerg can build mass amounts of cheap units, Protoss has strong, expensive units. Terran has tanks. Individual units of each race can countered, some are easier, others are harder(tanks), dragoons are owned by zerglings, mutalisks are raped by corsairs. And what makes StarCraft so great is that it's so hard to get good. You have to think fast, react fast, micro your units well, out flank your opponent, scout to see what he's making so you can counter in time, all at the same time as keeping up unit production, making peons, and expanding. In short, micromanagement and macromanament at the same time is hard. And watching NaDa or Boxer do all of this is just great.Then, if you're not feeling hardcore enough to play melee, you can just chill and play some UMS. Play some Weed D, or some classic Evolves. Maybe if you're feeling it, some Nuke the Whales. And of course, you have to try Strip Hermione. :)Oh yeah there's also a Campaign, but I didn't really like that(single player isn't my thing).All in all, Starcraft is awesome. Go play it.
  20. The Dark Knight is definitely one of my favorite movies ever. I loved Heath Ledger's performance of the Joker so much, and each time I see it, it just baffles me how well he played his part. He mastered everything from walking, to sticking his tongue out, and pausing at the right places. And the cleverness of the plot was great too. 10/10 for me.
  21. The last movie I saw on TV was just a few hours ago - V For Vendetta, which was amazing. Last new movie I saw was Iron Man, which was also really good. I was expecting a generic hero type story where the guy saves people from robbers and stuff, but I was pleasantly surprised.Last movie I saw in theaters was The Dark Knight. I don't really have to say anything about this one.
  22. I'm going to make a PHP called add.php?item=example&price=999, that will an item and price to a database. I plan to access this page via an external program, but I don't want users to be able to add things into the database.I've thought about using cookies to restrict access, but they can just look at the headers being sent and imitate that cookie. I've also thought about encrypting, which will make it a little harder. Is there an even better way to solve this?
  23. I don't like watching soccer very much, it's too slow for me. I really tried to like it, but all I see is the ball getting kicked back and forth, with attempts to score dispersed between the 90 minutes. I do like watching highlights of Cristiano Ronaldo though. It's pretty fun to watch him own people.Playing soccer is better than watching, but I like using my hands and arms.
