Ugh. My suspension of disbelief only goes so far - and I'm a SciFi nerd. Seriously, leave your brain at the door.
When shows use techno-babble crap like this to solve their problem, they really might as well say they fixed everything with magic.
Also, NCIS is miserable. The characters are so wooden it's a joke. Watch Bones on Fox.


I lost interest in Bones when watching an episode, Booth claimed that he would have supported the British during the revolutionary war, claiming that the founding fathers and revolutionaries were terrorists.

simply... awesome!

......and sift points are good for what, exactly?

Why hasn't netrunner or the other partisan politic game players chimed in on this one? Oh yes, that's right, it shows that they're just as bad as the far righers if not identical in many ways.

Did she say "Swanky tunes"?!?!?!

It's plasma energy resulting in what tadd just said. It's a very intense buildup of electromagnetic energy onto the surface area of the bottom of the projectile. In the last clip on this video, the projectile lost structural integrity from the g-forces.

ok...so I'm dumb, if it's electromagnetically propelled, what's with the explosion?

My guess would be its a result of the shockwave from the ballistic reaching supersonic velocity.

Netrunner, I'd prefer to see his father run again.

Not all libertarians agree wholeheartedly with this philosophy though. Regulation (if not overburdened by politics) can have a positive effect in restricting businesses from hurting the consumers. Regulation is obviously required.

Blankfist:The libertarian solution is to remove regulations and restrictions from the market that continue to tip the playing field in favor of corporations. It's not a perfect solution, but it's a lot better than the crony capitalist system we currently have. Libertarians understand that things like health care and minimum wage and protective regulations sound really good and necessary, but unfortunately it simply destroys competition and employment opportunities.

Wow the irony of your statement is astounding! You engage in partial-truth statements about another group of people in order to try and make your party look better all the while insulting them and trying to reflect your own ignorance upon them. I find it a pathetic attempt at social politics in order to supposedly benefit your group. The problem is that many people see through your little charade. Unfortunately many do not and that's what you prey upon.

Since I was previously a democrat I have a good idea what they are about. There are moralistic qualities that are admirable however they are misguided in many ways as well. I like many of the philosophies of the libertarian group however I don't agree with all of them there either. Your assumption that libertarians would prefer seeing the black man thrown on the street and refused service is rediculous and absurd. You're merely trying to play a race card that really isn't there. I find that many will use the race card when it's their only avenue of recourse. This is VERY pathetic and it actually hurts your cause when you do this.

BTW, nobody likes the Ferengi.

But you are confused. You don't understand what liberals are about.
By way of illustration, I'll say it again: I believe this non-DeLancie Q is absolutely correct. I'll go even further, any liberal who disagrees with it is not really a liberal.
Where we differ is that libertarians say "individual rights" means property rights and nothing else, while liberals realize that doesn't protect our basic rights as individuals at all.
My common example these days would be the old practice of businesses refusing to serve blacks. Libertarians think that as far as rights are concerned, the discriminating shop owner has a right to do it, and has a legitimate expectation that law enforcement will uphold his right to do so, right down to physically removing black people from his store if necessary.
To liberals, the issue of rights breaks the other way.
If you are interested in learning about the political philosophy of liberals, read this and its follow-up.
If you just want to be a mindless jerk who constantly refuses to look at what he's so busy insulting, just keep behaving as you always do.

Reminds me of the time when Obama said he visited 57 U.S. States.

Interesting.. I posted this several months ago and it down downvoted off the sift and tagged as viral commercial. Kinda funny tho.
