This stuff is basically useless. It's transparent hydrophobic silicate spray paint which scrapes off easily. You can't put it on anything you actually want to use, just outdoor displays that can't be touched.

Response to: Your favorite classic car? Posted August 21st, 2013 in General

I have to post this.

The Bugatti type 57S (Atlantic). This one is owned by Ralph Lauren. Bugatti Auto died and was sold to Volkswagon in the 60s, and was then revived in the early 90s to be turned into a supercar maker.

Your favorite classic car?

More impressively, the BBS on this site has shifted its interest from talking about the Portal, or really even acknowledging its existence, to locking threads that are made to get more attention for games which are lost in the fray.

Here's looking at you, ZJ, you shithead.

Right. The big bang (and Oscillating Crunch, etc, and all theories related to the function of astrophysical spacetime) is a theory which traces the structure of the universe as best as we can describe it with all applicable data. It's impartial. Yet, it's always countered with philosophical arguments which don't really equate. "But there must be something eternal". "You cant draw a function without a pen and a hand. Hand of God!" etc.

The entire discussion gets tiresome after a while. It's just people who spent several decades learning about centuries of work in order to study billions of years of the inner workings of the universe... squaring off against people who spent a couple decades coming up with philosophical arguments to justify their own belief system which evolved out of ancient mythology.

Also in November, Manning wrote to a gender counselor in the United States, said he felt female, and discussed having sex reassignment surgery. The counselor told Steve Fishman of New York Magazine that it was clear Manning was in crisis, partly because of his gender concerns, but also because he was opposed to the kind of war in which he found himself involved.

Entropy and time don't actually apply at the extremes of the universe. That's why Quantum Mechanics and Astrophysics exist.

This is a logical fallacy because 'nothing' cannot result in 'something.'

Cause-effect correlations are actually just part of how the human mind breaks down reality into a comprehensible form. Time isn't linear the way you imagine it to be.

In the end, you must conclude that something eternal exists

What you said, basically, is that the function cannot be continuous, so it must be polynomial or the result of a continuous function.

Exactly. And the entire area surrounding the crew was teeming with small groups that look exactly the same as they did, except holding RPGs instead of camera equipment. Those were the people the crew were trying to film. The Apache had finished up with another group that was holding RPGs a few minutes earlier.

I only make flash games when I'm really bored.

Otherwise, I'll post on a few different websites to let out steam.

I don't get really bored often, and it never lasts long enough for me to make something I can submit to the portal.

Good. He should have plenty of time to regret his choices and then see what the world has become.

He indiscriminately revealed military secrets, broke his contracts with the US Government, and made Julian Assange into a world celebrity. Even if you disagree with what the USA Military may have been doing in order to fight terrorist organizations, you should agree that collecting as many documents as you could find from a pool of files you swore to protect and forwarding them to a foreign national sets a terrible precedent for whistle-blowers. Manning's files were encrypted and distributed in much fanfare, then used strategically by WikiLeaks convince people that the USA were doing evil things abroad with little to no evidence. A mysterious black box of documents that reveal nothing has been used in an attempt to extort the US Government, and it all could have been avoided if Manning just sucked it up and did his job.

I have no doubt that Snowden hatched his plan as a direct result of Manning's negligence.

Who are you to translate for people who say that? There are plenty who mean it in the literal term.

No, they don't. Marg bar ____ has a specific meaning. If they were to say "Death To America" in the way you're implying, they would say "Kill All Americans".

And it's illegal for the US to finance coups and military regimes. So there's that, too.
Would you prefer a radical Islamist government or a military government? It's the lesser of two evils. Welcome to the 21st century, where there is rarely a classic good vs evil battle.

Welcome to the 21st century, where the media is used as a weapon and you're damned no matter what you do. We have already given the Egyptian Military plenty of financial aid, and it's best to let them sort this out on their own.

WolframAlpha confirms that the guy with Euler's Identity in his sig who claims he teaches Math is right, and you are wrong.

I think you accidentally wrote Imaginory instead of Imaginary, and when you wrote Imaginary you meant to say Complex Form.

However, there is only one solution.
