Re: Petition to build the Death Star

This petition system has been a joke from the start; a look at their responses to the petitions asking for an end to marijuana prohibition shows that clearly. It was never intended to really give the American people a direct line to the White House's attention.

Re: below absolute zero

Er... I'm just going to say, "negative temperature" is a complicated idea. At room temperature when we talk about 'hot' or 'cold' we're usually thinking of something like energy density- pumping more energy into the particles that make up a system makes them move around more and gets them...

Re: The Girl Genius Thread

The Girl Genius novels go into more detail about Boris. He is a very intelligent individual. He does not want to rule the Empire, but he believes in it whole heartedly and is very loyal to the Baron. He is extremely observant and runs the day to day elements of the Empire for the Baron. He most cer...

Re: Singapore loan to IMF unconsitutional

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has essentially claimed that since the loan is a conditional one that has not been activated by the IMF, that the liability is counted as an asset in our reserves, there was no need to consult any other body before authorising the loan.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic (The Thread)

SWTOR is one of those games that I enjoy, but don't really play much due to other games getting higher priority. I do hope that it doesn't go away entirely, though; there's a hell of a lot of game in there, in terms of story and the like.

Re: Half of teachers forced to feed pupils going hungry at h

First you start with the premise that everything gets better for having lots of competition and a profit motive.

Re: Singapore loan to IMF unconsitutional

So if I'm reading that correctly, five billion dollars is just being chucked in a bag and they're ignoring their own written laws for the situation?

Isn't that the kind of thing that's supposed to lead to impeachment/criminal charges/humiliating public resignations?

I find it amusing that they forget (or choose to) that James VI ascended to the English throne and formed the union. Ok, fine, that Scottish dynasty gave us a civil war and a king so bad we asked the Dutch to invade us, but that's irrelevant. They came to us, not the other way round. So...this is l...

Tractor-beam repulsors affect the plasma-ball things.
