Topic revival. Topic locked.

I had this happen with my X-Box 360 Elite gen 2. Started happening about a month before the disk drive went out.

Duplicate topic.

I believe they are guilty of the same thing they are accusing others of. Thus, making them hypocritical. Overall, I think that complaining about something that's actually relevant leads to topics of discussion rather than unnecessary negativity. However, irrelevant complaints only lead to negativity. An example of a relevant complaint, "I dislike the way that "A" handles and I think we should make it better." An example of an irrelevant complaint, "I dislike how people keep killing me in a gametype that is designed for people to kill each other and I have no suggestions to fix this."

Twinreaper would like to point out that the H4 pelican is the same size and shape as the pelicans in previous Halo titles. Here's an image detailing the pelicans from Halo 4, Halo Reach, and Halo 3.

This topic has been answered multiple times with about the same response each time. So instead of beating a dead horse, topic closed.

Oh my. Okay, so there are about a thousand answers to this. One of which: +=3 This turns the equation from addition to multiplication. In other words, it would be 1*+*1=3 making +=3 So the next equation would be 2*+*2=12 Another one would be: 2+2=5 because 1+1=3 Which would mean that you add another 1 to the answer of the equation. Another one: 1+1=3 so 2+2=6 Which would mean that you add the number that is being added (1 in the first equation, 2 in the second) to the normal answer to the equation.

Hypothetically speaking, darkness is eternal because it is the natural state of the universe. It is the absence of light, so if you were to remove all planets, stars, and life there would be nothing left except darkness. Light, on the other hand, is also hypothetically eternal. Light is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed. This is the Law of the Conservation of Energy. So it should also be considered eternal. Now "nothing" on the other hand. There have been many recent discoveries that change our view of "nothing". We used to think that the vacuum of space contained nothing, but now we know that it's full of things such as electrons, neutrinos, radio waves, etc. As a matter of fact, we haven't found a true example of "nothing" yet. We have tons of hypothetical examples, but nothing concrete. So out of the three things you have mentioned, only two seem to be eternal as the third may not exist at all.

Ryan Reynolds of course. The guy can take any role and add funny to it. If he has a proper script for Deadpool, he will more than represent the character. He'll make everyone believe that he was born for the role. In X-Men Origins the only reason that some people could disagree with Reynolds playing Deadpool was because of bad writing. If they had invested a bit more into Deadpool's character, Reynolds would have more than adequately played the role. #RyanReynoldsforDeadpoolesident

Well, at first I was a bit peeved. Then I decided to take it in the "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" way. Well, short answer is that we have several trillion atoms within us. Even single celled organisms have trillions of atoms. Now, when an atom degrades in our body the atom is generally replaced with another one. Whether this be by eating or drinking or from a chemical reaction within our own cells is completely dependent on the atom that is degrading. Our bodies compensate for not only the loss of the atom but for the radiation itself and any damage caused by it. Which means that the negative effect of losing an atom is infinitesimal. Even in single celled organisms. Now, if you're asking it in a "doesn't the radiation itself hurt us" type of way, in short no. Again, we have several trillion atoms. The effect of a single atom's radiation is once again infinitesimal. Even in embryos. If the radiation is too much for us, we die or develop a disease. While you are correct that a tiny thing can have a drastic impact on us, the tiny thing is usually immediately proceeded by other tiny things that correct the tiny thing. 1. The Amazing Spiderman (because so far it's the only Spiderman movie to actually follow the lore set down by it's predecessor [the TV show]) 2. Iron Man 3. The Avengers If there were a Deadpool movie it would take the top slot and push The Avengers off the list.

Imo, MMO is where game sagas go to die.

Aaaaand that's enough. Topic locked.

Why would I take any of the animals with me on the raft in the first place? That's dangerous. The lion might eat me, the goat might kick me off the raft, and the snake might poison me.

He didn't not do anything. It's alright. Kind of hot. Boring. You know, stuff like that.

1. Because the human male on average grows more facial hair than the human female. Most females don't even have to shave their face to appear to not have facial hair. The majority of men, on the other hand, have to frequently shave to avoid having facial hair. That's why it's associated with manliness. 2. Unless you are talking about something else, it's the capital of Queensland, Australia. 3. This is an answer.

Interestingly enough, everything he did after he escaped the tunnel was personal. Imagine that.
-
And here's where we come to the whole releasing personal information thing again.
-
I believe that The Director had a secret escape route underneath his desk. He borrowed the sidearm so that he could use the escape route and have the pistol just in case there were any UNSC at the other end. *ignores*
-
I will point you to the part of the OP about personal information. Secret bunker locations totally count. Nope. Presumably, it quacks.

Welcome back.

1. Well actually, it is also theorized that we can see all of the universe. Except that we can't actually "see" it. You see (haha), it is theorized that something that is too far away for our eyes to identify still gives off a visual image. That image, however, shrinks to about the size of an electron. Which is why you can't see it, but your eyes are still technically picking it up. So when you look up you are seeing the entirety of the universe, even though you can't distinguish it all. 2. We aren't replaced on the atomic or molecular level, we are replaced on the cellular level. That being said though, unlike snowflakes atoms and molecules can be utterly identical. Cells can also be identical, however it is widely assumed that they aren't. The majority of your "consciousness" is kept and maintained in your brain tissue, which works similar to that of a hard drive. The electrical impulses that make up your thoughts and feelings are made up by cells that are replaced by similar (if not the same) cells. This entire process is programmed into your cells via DNA and RNA. Which means your cells themselves are programmed to keep you existing for as long as they can. When they mess up, you get things like cancer and genetic disorders (downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, etc.) and the entire cellular makeup attempts to compensate to keep you alive. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't. As far as why does consciousness exist and persist, it's because your brain's cells replace themselves with cells that can do the same thing as cells before them. When they can no longer do so, you get things such as dimension and senility. When you forget something, it's because you weren't paying enough attention when it happened, you don't use the information enough to keep it stored, or because the cellular pathway to that information has been corrupted or is gone completely (Alzheimer's). This isn't part of the answer but I thought it may interest you anyway: Amnesia is when you forget all of the information (or most of it) that your brain maintains with the exception of very simple core information. For instance, you will forget things such as your name and social interactions, but you will remember things like the pain of being burned or how to throw a three inch punch. This disorder has caused several psychiatrists to theorize that there are multiple levels of consciousness and things like that. In reality though, the explanation is much simpler. Amnesia is simply "Safe Mode" for your brain. If you receive a significant enough emotional or physical trauma, your brain will reboot in safe mode. It then let's you have access to the simple things like muscle memory, but shuts down the neural pathways to the more complex algorithms that it has saved such as social interactions. This way, it can make repairs to that part of itself without having to worry about saving additional information to those memory centers. Once the repairs are complete, it will reopen the neural pathways and you will regain access to the memories. However, sometimes the damage is too severe for repairs and it will completely dump the memories and rewrite over them. Like a restore. 3. I prefer Charmander. Because Charizard. Because. I actually have, but didn't watch more than two episodes. Joel though. Probably because anti-heroism is more popular these days, and Stark has all the necessary ingredients to be an anti-hero. 1. Tons of money 2. Brains 3. Trauma during his childhood Here soon Batman might be an anti-hero as well. lol Honestly, I enjoyed the stories of all three of them. Since I didn't really get involved in any of the fan-fic or the theories on the canon of the story, I wasn't bothered by things like "medichlorians" or Jar Jar Binks. Jar Jar was a bit annoying, I'll admit, but sometimes it was good comic relief.

In middle school it was made part of our curriculum. Primarily because our English teacher was too lazy to actually teach us anything. It was also the only "game" we were allowed to play on school computers. lol

It would be cool, yes, but the website isn't run by a company per se. It's run by the United Nation's World Food Programme. So it's a charity run by a charity for charity. And overseen by the UN. Which is pretty charitable, apparently.

Oh, I forgot to mention YOU CAN GET THE AWARD MULTIPLE TIMES! That's right, if you hit 40k, you get 2 awards. 60k means 3 awards! This way, those who have participated in the past don't get left out, and even if you hit 20k you can still do it again. Those who participated previously (while the award was only given once) do not receive awards for past participation. This is starting now. As in right now.
