• Commented on New Dungeons and Dragons license less sleazy than I believed?
  @16 Maybe I'm not reading this right, but are you saying that virtually all D&D fans either publish their own stuff or need more and more diverse material than is published by WotC? Maybe the sample of people I know...
• Commented on HOWTO kill/block an RFID
  Vorpalsword, according to wikipedia, they started putting them in US passports in 2006, though if you happen to be from Malaysia, 1998 is the date you're looking for....
• Commented on Sleazy <em>proposed</em> new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems
  Roninkakuhito, If you're doing pre-orders, I'm standing by with my credit card ready. Seriously though, I'm happy with my generic fantasy settings, but that title was just too good. And as far as disclosure, I must admit I've never heard...
• Commented on HOWTO kill/block an RFID
  I say a bunch of people getting together and hitting their passports with hammers would make some pretty good performance art....
• Commented on Sleazy <em>proposed</em> new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems
  @3 (and others) I'm curious, if you feel like spending your time explaining stuff to someone too lazy to look it up, what parts of the rules are copyrightable? Feat names? Spell names? Deity names? The specific wording of feat/spell...
• Commented on TSA screener who smuggled a gun into the airport is still on the job
  I wonder how stealing my Wii helped security...oh well, I'm just glad to have contributed....
• Commented on Sleazy <em>proposed</em> new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems
  So....when is TCATUMTLMP coming out?...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  @301 You may be right in terms of "reasonable" limits on the how and when of purchasing arms not being unconstitutional. I suppose I would hope for a strict definition of "reasonable" from the court, and would vote for no...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  @286 I would say, and this is also just a personal opinion and not worth much given the vast quantities of beans out there, that the second amendment should be considered to protect any weapon designed to be used by...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  @249 I think we're all arguing about what the law ought to be, not what it is, so, I'd say that the opinion of SCOTUS counts little more than that of any nine other people. @256 I'm curious, if there...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  I would argue that the militia is mentioned more like this. Since we'll need a militia, the individual people are going to need the right to keep weapons, in order to form that militia. But I understand your interpretation, Xopher....
• Commented on Re-creation of "Who's On First routine"
  Ok, I'm clearly in a minority here, but I thought it was brilliant. I've always loved that routine....
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  I think it's demonstrably true that a militia can stand up against a modern military. They likely can't ever land a knockout blow against a state-backed army, but they can keep giving it a bloody nose until the state finds...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  Well, first, merely because there's now a standing army, and has been for more than 200 years, the 2nd amendment, and the idea behind it, is not invalid. If anything, it seems more valid, so I don't see why we'd...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  Saulgoodman @228 Nope, you've got me there, I don't advocate the proliferation of nuclear weapons among the general population. If you push me, I'd probably also give ground on private possession of artillery and maybe even tanks and fighter jets....
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  Right now, I'm not planning to fight anyone. While I imagine there are many, many things that each of us dislike about our government, I don't think violent opposition is necessary, or reasonable at this point. However, I think it...
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  Is 'not open minded' the same as 'hopelessly stereotypical and insulting?'...

  Lizardman, QFT...
• Commented on MUNI makes Narnia poster cool
  Antinous, I think LZ was referring to the fact that "Scott Summers" was used to refer to Cyclops in the original post, though it hardly seems like grounds for hating someone....
• Commented on Amnesty's Unsubscribe Me video reenacts CIA waterboarding torture
  Anyone else wondering how much flak movie theatres are going to take for showing something that disturbing? It'll also look pretty odd sandwiched between the five minute national guard ads that I'm usually subjected to at movie theatres....
• Commented on Gun owners are the happiest people in the US
  @202 and 213 I'm afraid it does make sense to me, I think the intent of the second amendment was to enable the citizenry to fight somewhat effectively against governments. And while, no, the world won't end, it's a movement...
