A New Site Feature
I know less than nothing about how this would have to be implemented, so feel free to ignore this. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows people to "follow" games that they aren't in?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 6--Can the Giants Get A Win? Should the 'skins Change Their Name?
We start Week 6 with a game that looked a LOT better before the season started, the Giants and the Cowboys. The Cowboys and Redskins play on Sunday Night, an always-fun match-up (what do you think about the Redskin name, by the way, change it or no?) and there are plenty of interesting games with the Pack and Ravens going at it, the Saints and Patriots going head-to-head, and more. So, Week 6, here we go...PICK 'EM!

Are you a fuloughed US employee? Do you like free stuff?
Apparently GOG is giving away free video games to anyone who sends them an email with a picture of them, and their furlough notice. I remember some people complaining on this forum about being furloughed by don't remember who. So public notice y'all. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/128554-GOG-Offers-Free-Games-to-Furloughed-U-S-Employees

"There are worst things to be like. I could be like you."

This is true. And as I don't participate in social media for the sole purpose of gloating at other people's misfortune, I must have taken a morally deviant path somewhere. If only I had Father Invictus to set me straight at an earlier age. Then I too, could think that "fathers" who repeatedly call people shit sucker and make rape jokes were nice people.

Putin, I reserve "shit sucker" exclusively for you, though I confess the rape jokes are for you and, yes, a few others.

That being said, for all my faults, I am still a far better human being, and a far better man than you could ever hope to be. Shall we mention again how you treat the children under your personal care?
Putin33 (111 D)
13 Oct 13 UTC
Yes, it does.

But I'm glad that your participation in this thread started with some kind of human rights complaint, only to move to your defense of mocking people who are raped. That about sums up you people to a t.

See Putin -- here is the difference between someone like you, and someone like me. My presence here is a character, it is a place I vent and blow off steam. But you...you claim there is no difference between who you are here and who you are in the real world. So when YOU say that you hate children, I have no doubt that what you say here is real. When you say vile things about people and to people, I have no doubt that in real life you are truly a miserable, obnoxious person. I know your type...I've met your type plenty of times...and I have no doubt you are a miserable lonely man...the kind who sits alone in a corner, a sneer on his face as he coddles his beer mumbling derision at everyone around them for enjoying their lives. I know *exactly* who you are in real life, Putin...

I don't mock people who get raped. I don't mock all the rape that goes on in Africa, India, or wherever it is in the world, be it by militant groups, gangsters, or by soviet troops in germany. But unlike you, I like to be a bit more optimistic, a bit more happy, i like life, you know.

@ ILN: "Making rape jokes doesn't make you a bad person"

Sorry, but yes, it does. Making jokes about rape trivialises it. Joking about rape reinforces the patriarchal oppression of women which so deeply embedded in our society.

Putin -- Barbarism? Oh....oh....wait....you mean those guys that CHOOSE to play a game and get highly compensated to do so? Yeah....uh...was that supposed to be an insult? I'll gladly take it - that the best you got, ass clown?

Putin - did I write that article? No...oh, OK...I dind't think so. Yeah, I don't lie...see, in the REAL World, not the world of stupid internet blogs, a recruiter that lies loses their job. Seeing that I am still employed...I don't lie...But you wouldn't understand that concept, since you don't have a real job.

The job you DO have though...is the job where you DID IN THESE FORUMS OPENLY ADMIT THAT YOU LIE on the job. YOu admitted that teachers give passing grades where they are not earned...and we know that teachers are protected by their vile unions from being fired - unlike those of us in the private class -- so...if anything, Putin, you are the liar amongst us, both by observation of all, and by your very own admission.


How about a little humor to lighten things up...

Q: How do you know when Putin's just been raped in the ally?

A: He straightening up his shirt and smiling while he wipes his mouth clean.

And Putin, little baby....fraud? What fraud? MY name is not "krellin"...so if I am here as "krellin" and playing a character, and I openly have stated on multiple occassions that how I behave here is not how I behave in real life, then there is no fraud at all.

I know...you are just angry because we've called you out for being the asshole in real life that you are here, and you have no defense, and realize what a miserable sot you are...and are coming to the realization that just as you are despised here, so, too, you are most likely despised in real life.

"That's a fact. "

So are the Russian rapes. Tell me, which is worse? Raping living women? Or desecrating bodies? I think the former is far worse and, as an atheist, you should agree as once you are dead, you are nothing but a sack of flesh and bones.

Shoddy Peer Review in Open Access Journals
As reported in Science (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6154/60.full):
Open Access Journals may be more likely to accept suspect papers (as they are paid by the authors) as demonstrated by Bohannon, who submitted a clearly false paper to several hundred journals, to be rejected by less than half.

If a unit is supporting a move, can another unit behind it support hold it or does that not work because the unit it wants to support hold is not holding?

Say Rumania wanted to support move a unit but I wanted to support hold Rumania from Bulgaria would that protect Rumania or would it not work?

A Nobel in Two Pages
Physical Review is making available for free the papers that won the Physics Nobel Prizes this year (for the prediction of the Higgs boson). One of them is two pages, and the other is three. That's not so uncommon in physics, but it's still remarkable how tersely a great idea can be communicated. Here is the link for the interested:

Yes, we can service our debt and not default on our credit without raising the debt ceiling. Just like YOU, the individual, can prioritize your spending at home (say, cancel cable when money gets tight)...so can the Fed. QUIT LYING OBAMA AND ALL YOU LIBTARDS!
