What is the lasting impact of the Chernobyl disaster 25 years later?
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=578931 Not a bad start for you. I'm a big fan of the STALKER series, and that link is just a thread that gives background on the actual incident.- gonpost

Challenging Yes or No Questions: A Linguistic Perspective
I guess the answer you're looking for is: you can't answer the question truthfully, as it is, if you never started killing people.- gonpost

Challenging Yes or No Questions: A Linguistic Perspective
I'm pretty sure this trap exists in any language... In Spanish: dejó de matar gente? Whether you answer si or no, it's the same situation as in English. I think that the only way to answer the question correctly is to just ignore the "started" portion. You would say "I never killed...- gonpost

The Role of I.Q. in Academic Success
Kortaggio, either your sense of humor is amazing, or Proton Soup's comment (expressing his dumbfoundedness at the fact that you actually gave such an example to further illustrate your point) went completely over your head. Either way, I've got a big, toothy grin of amusement on my face right...- gonpost

Graduate What Happens When Fundamental Physical Quantities Go Negative?
Hmmm, this is rather entertaining. Mass - something with negative mass...which I believe would float away from anything with positive mass? Gravitationally speaking, it would have the opposite acceleration applied to it as something normal. So it would shoot away from Earth at -9.8m/s^2, I...- gonpost

Surviving Hurricane Katrina - My Story
*sigh* I'll come back when I'm older. I don't have time for this right now. No, you can't know why. Farewell.- gonpost

Surviving Hurricane Katrina - My Story
Time to swing the other way... Where the hell is everyone? No help at all...I'm in Ohio currently, and the only thing I hear people say is their complaints about the damn gas prices...no consideration for those in the south. Just people worrying about the extra buck they'll pay at the...- gonpost

Surviving Hurricane Katrina - My Story
Thank you, that's about what I was looking for. And sorry for my seeming so racist, guess it came across that way, my frustration is directed at humanity, as a whole. More like disgust, but close enough.- gonpost

Surviving Hurricane Katrina - My Story
I agree with your second part... The thing is (this is directed at everyone), if they can move everyone away from the superdome, why don't more people leave? I KNOW that almost everyone could get out of there, whether by buses or by walking. It seems to me most people left just want to suck...- gonpost

Surviving Hurricane Katrina - My Story
There's one thing I can't help but wondering why... Why is it that when I see the pictures of the most harshly hit areas, 90% of the people I see are black? I mean, I don't intend to be racist...it's just an observation... Everytime there are people idling, they are almost all black...- gonpost

Discover Your One Talent: Piano Prodigy
I'd really like to be able to read people well though...I mean really read their thoughts, be able to tell all about them after a 5 minute discussion... Heck while I'm at it we can go about our own talents... I'm not sure if this qualifies as a talent, but I'm very good at video games...- gonpost

Can I Upgrade My XBOX RAM with 128 MB Sticks?
I would say they'd be incompatable... I can't be sure, but I'd say so. And anyway, until now, I've never heard of anyone talk about upgrading their X-Box's memory, to me it seems there isn't reason enough to do so. I mean, go for it and try if you can, let us know if anything cool...- gonpost

Tips going rate is supposed to be 15-20%.
Usual rule I've heard is (in restaurants) 10% tip for bad service, 15-17% for average to slightly above, and 20% for amazing service.- gonpost
