Thing that creeps me out is the yelling then 3 pop pop pop then about a 3 second pause then 6 more pops, why the pause? why only one cop shooting?

Obviously disturbed man ALONE on a streetcar, confined. They could have used riot sheilds,I saw cops take a sword weilding guy down with a ladder and water cannon. They could have used tear gas, waited him out, non-lethal rubber rounds......shooting someone is the LAST option, this cop jumped the gun. (no pun intended)

Now, as a non-Starcraft-player: what have I been looking at for the last 16 minutes? Was there anything particular about the strategy used by the Protoss player? Did anything really unexpected happen?


no, completely average game. Protoss with sentries (force field and guardian sheild) always win. People tell me you can counter sentries but i don't believe them. The protoss choked off his mineral supply and hit him more times and the zerg played very well for knowing he was losing.

Anyway I'm still needing a copy of SC2 TIA.\

RAISE SHEILDS!! EPIC WIN DETECTED!!!

They probbaly took all the cool stuff out of the movie so they have enough time to do CGI. CGI, action, and music is what Hollywood thinks makes a great movie. As cheasy as the original was, some of the coolest things about it were the little things. Little things like the metal owl, the blind witches, medussa, the sword, sheild, and helmet, the ferryman. Very little action but it was all fun to watch.

My dad served in Iraq, let me tell you that having some patriot missiles at your side is a nice thing rather than having to stab that foot long neddle in your heart.

It is funny though that we are still talking about Mutually Assured Destruction after the cold war though. It seems more and more like Russia is still in the cold war in certain respects.

I believe you are refering to the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty that was signed back in 1972, however;

"On June 13, 2002, six months after giving the required notice of intent, the US unilaterally withdrew from the treaty."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Ballistic_Missile_Treaty)

It was instead replaced with SORT, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Offensive_Reductions_Treaty".

In short, we are within our leagal limmits to pursure this, as would russia be in cuba installing missile shields.


Edit: And with the "new" Russia acting more like the "old" russia all the time, I don't think certain measures to protect ourselves should be ignored because they are unpopular. I can bet you dimes to dollars that the places we are installing them at LOVE them more than we do. Russia may hate them, but eastern block countries to this day still have to worry about Russia doing stuff like...well, doing stuff like it is doing now.

I can't state the given effectiveness of a missile sheild. Surely though, any percent is better than zero when you are talking about the complete eradication of a city.

Russia already has anti missile missile tech anyway.

$$$$$$$$$$lose it you buy it, me, too hard on phones, hardware.....jack me the fuck in, implants that are sheilded by luxurious skin...

oh yeah, mack geek here, never owned one though....gimme mac

....great concept, this will get those kids off their lille asses, and out the door for some fresh air, eh/??..

....110 voltage, with resistance in-line, is a great party favor, too....take a lamp cord, separate and strip the sheilding, off the inner copper wire....put a light bulb in-line, then take the bare ends, one in each hand, and squeeze....the harder you squeeze, the brighter the light will become, and the more your muscles will contract from the voltage,....this may be the only resistance some may ever experience.......

and no, that is not how I got this way, either!...

How does James Randi know how a fairy's wings behave? Does he have them trapped in jars on his shelves? I'll bet he has all kinds of fascinating and fabulous creatures trapped inside of his home in an attempt to sheild the public from the truth. That bastard.

The Galactica was armed with conventional weponry and no energy sheilds, and you're saying the Enterprise would get smoked?
