XCOM + Mass Effect.

Brilliant.

Alternatively, Mass Effect vs Star Trek vs Star Wars. Which massive-universe space opera will come out on top?!

There's more than a few sizeable ME crossovers... and that's just on FFN. I've seen a good chunk elsewhere, as well. If you were interested as to what grounds have already been tread on the subject.

More importantly, at the end of the day there'd be this tyrazerg monstrosity rampaging around and you probably wouldn't be able to tell who actually won (in the last few moments of your existence as anything but bug food, anyway). It's kind of a moot battle if the victor is indiscernible.

So, let's step back one more step. Instead of arguing over what the fine-level restrictions there should be, let us discuss what kinds of compromises we want, and how best to determine what effect a change in the law might have in both directions. In a different thread.

And with that small change, your statement is made largely impeccable.

Ah. Repetition and reuse is pretty much the basic go-to process for learning math, GO. Because math is a language, and like languages if you're going to become fluent, you have to use it and keep using it or you lose it. If either they or you aren't doing oodles of problems related to what you're trying to learn, there's basically no chance you're going to remember any of it. Best suggestion would be to set it up so you're doing 20-30 problems on the side every other day or so -- bug the teacher about it if you're unable to come up with the material yourself.

The thing is this law only applies to murders anyway, so you'd already be in massive trouble without this law.

Do you have a source on this? I've currently woken up and am currently trawling the net trying to find something appearing to be an official transcript of the word of the provision, and new stories, at least, are waffling back and forth as to whether it's just killing or, as you say, specifically murder (At least one I've seen so far is saying that killing a first responder becomes first degree murder, with not mention as to mitigating circumstances -- so a manslaughter or self-defense charge would be upgraded.). The latter case would be pretty much no-issue (well, maybe. Mandatory sentencing in general is a bit scuzzy.) but the former has potential problems. A link to something official would be really nice...

As for what you linked, PTTG, what's your $0.02 on it? Most of what I'm taking away from reading that article is that maybe we should be reigning back the legal system a bit instead of relying on prosecutors to "correctly" inconsistently apply the law.

But I have one very specific man in mind:
CIAPHAS CAIN, THE HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!

As much as I brofist you on the Cain love, dude's also pretty much not what you'd call a good guy (even if you give that th'writings related to him are highly self-depreciating), nor is he even remotely working for good guys

He's sorta' working for the humans that want to remain sorta' humans, but that's about the best you can give th'poor fellow. Grim dark future, mang. WH40k doesn't even really have an isolationist faction, iirc. Just lots of bad guys, some of which are moderately not as bad as others (on some days of the week).

Back then, you made yer own darn signature. Didn't have no fancy italics or what have you, either. You stuck with good old plain text.

If and only if it blatantly rips of Tyrian's banana gun's graphics. Everybody and their little spawnling filching those graphics is starting to get a little old.
