As in how does the current system look, well scroll up, it displays three names then "and umpteen others". Or as in how did it look on the old system to me?

And switched (Well actually I switched, switched back then back to Like again. All works well enough) My main concern would be the string of names, didn't know it'd display like that (it's a pop up box for me seeing rep on the rep system)

I've a code for Tribes Ascend beta, bring in a buddy kind of thing.

Actually they are resizeable. It's an extension of the current snap feature of Windows 7, so you can split it in two and have say 1/4 of screen taken up by your twitter app and the rest with IE. Or whatever programs take your fancy. http://www.youtube.c...QfWOw88I#t=124s - like so. (Though I'm not gonna step in the way of the inevitable windows hate, it is the shit version. (Win ME = shit, XP = good, Vista = shit, Win 7= good, Win 8 = shit)

Oh I should note that when you like a post it will pin your name to it. Though that doesn't change much as you can check who has up-voted folks posts from their profile. Does that change it for folks? If not seems there's a fairly positive reaction to changing/trying out so I'll shift it over later.

Tesco does that too through Clubcard. I'm wowed by just how refined the supermarket process is. The amount of raw data they end up handling n analysing n refining. It's pretty cool tbh. If in a 5 minute window 20 people more than average arrive then the system knows that in 30 minutes they need to open up another till. Tesco currently throws vouchers at me for sandwiches and bottles of pop since that's my main use of them (main shop is through Asda).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2NptKVlMrk Best I can tell there's no health system like the old game. Seems much more "actioney" than last tome. Not sure if keen or not. (i.e the zip lining about n such). It'd require being a bit more scripted and you'd lose the open world-ness in that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts Supreme Court has stepped in on matters of vaccination before. That was with Smallpox. I guess it depends on the lethality of the illness. Here's a bit from the "American Academy of Paediatrics" http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/115/5/1428.full (Which also seems to imply vaccination > religion, on a legal level). Also states continued refusal could/should be brought up with child services as a case of neglect (which I guess is fair). It does also state that you should avoid getting rid of parents from your clinic, though "when a substantial level of distrust develops, significant differences in the philosophy of care emerge, or poor quality of communication persists, the pediatrician may encourage the family to find another physician or practice."

So this has been on my mind a while, and currently acting upon it. The recent update of the board brought with it a "Like" System. Now I've yet to enable it as the rep system has been doing us well enough. However I thought I'd throw the option out there. My main aim in shifting over to a "Like" system would be that: 1) Maybe encouraging folks to post content n such. You post something cool, folks can "like it". 2) Folks will maybe report stuff instead of neg repping it. 3) It'll stop the personal witch hunts that happen when you get negative reputation. I can see all the voting types and I can tell you 70% of the time your assumptions on who downvoted you are wrong. Theoretically 1 and 2 shouldn't be an issue with the current reputation system, but the current reputation system is more "I agree/disagree with this post" than "this is good content/this adds nothing to the discussion" as originally intended. So, thoughts? Oh yeah, it shouldn't wipe the currently accrued reps, so swapping back shouldn't be an issue if folks they dislike Like.

It's not like there's just one vaccine rolled into a single treatment. If the parent isn't going to take their doctors advice on one treatment what's to say that won't expand to other treatments? If the parent is going to turn down a potentially life saving vaccination for their child because the internet/family friend told them it's going to cause autism, then it's going to be even easier to dismiss more minor treatments over false information. Ultimately the solution would be to have mandatory vaccination, as was used against smallpox. Then the parent has no say in the matter.

You do know why we bred dogs right? It's because the original wolf was far too unruly to use, a dog however is pretty happy to hang out alongside humans. So yes, they're much more effective. However that's not always how evolution works. (dogs are a man-made species for one). It's simply a case of whatever allows a species to survive, and thus pass on its genes. Tusks are useful for an elephant, they allow it to dig up roots to eat. However those with tusks are killed for the tusks while those without tusks are left alone. Tusk-less elephants then mange to mate and pass on the genes of "no tusks" to the young, and it spreads. Evolution at work. (I can't really debate on Modern Family since I've not seen it. Does kinda show some issues though in that political terms of "liberal" are brought up when discussing religion)

I'd rather have a tidier desk myself.

I bet there's now one guy in Obsidian going "I fucking told you so!!". Yeah it's bullshit. It's why I think it winning GOTYs is crap. The game is neat, but Bethesda's response to issues has been terrible.

It's £26 over here which is ~$41 ($30=£19). As a comparison I picked up Witcher 2, new, for £25. Alumar and Jagged Aliance are £30 each too. Alan Wake currently has a going price of £10 on consoles, so it's quite a mark up in price for the porting. I guess one man's two year old port is another man's new release and folks are fine to pay whatever they want, but I was a bit shocked to see the price as high as it was. Yes there's room to be higher still, and Iv'e a feeling for some it'd be a fine price if it was to be £35. But for a two year old game asking almost as much as for games that are only two weeks old is a bit of a gamble.

Don't get me wrong, great game, but I mean... That price? Really? It came out YEARS ago, and as far as I'm aware they've not added anything new. Really should have been cheaper, at least in my opinion. Still a very good game and I hope you enjoy it! So I'm intrigued by Connorrs comment of "That price?". So I check Steam and You could buy a new game for that much. Probably does explain their recent comments of being fine with it being pirated. It's like a tenner now on 360. £15 would have been a good price for an old game. Then again it was originally published by MS and they may have given Remedy some funny ideas on how to price older games on Steam.

That only lasts a few weeks and not all vaccines are in one go. And the doctors aren't punishing the kids, the doctor isn't the one refusing to give the vaccination, that's the parents. If the parent isn't allowing the doctor to treat the child then what is the point of having them at the clinic? I'm sure the doctor would in fact love to treat the patient, but they cannot without the compliance of the parent. It's a bit like the "my child isn't doing well at school, what is the teacher doing wrong" thing.

They're working for Tesco. Tesco are the ones putting up the job applications, not the Job Centre. Are you sure if Tesco weren't being given gov't sponsored free work force they wouldn't have hired these people? If Tesco needs a shelf stakcer or whatever they'd have to hire someone. This way they get their shelf stacker role filled and at no expense. Which also means people that are seeking work can't get actual paying work because even the most basic of jobs are being taken by people working for nothing. Why not have a scheme where the worked gets paid actual minimum wage, but the gov't gives a subsidy through Tesco? Then the person working for tesco is being fully compensated for their work, and tesco still get a bit of a subsidy on it (though I guess it'd be hard to defend paying tesco, a huge huge company, money directly). No one is unemployable, unless they have all their limbs removed and even then you can put them on a headset and set them on tele-sales. You do start to become unemployable though when you're wanting even a basic minimum wage job, and that's still asking more than the free they can actually get through gov't schemes. It's job piracy. It's not getting people in work, it's not providing a "benefit to the community" as the scheme is meant to, it's state sponsored charity work for multi-billion pound companies. And the bull shit is the gov't probably then classes these people as in-work and thus get to lower their unemployment figures.

Shit. Meant to add a qualifier with that one as "not of yet".

http://imgur.com/a/ITNuJ#0 Some nice images. Shame not so big. Would make neat wallpapers.

Even if they're just stacking shelves they're still of a benefit to the company. The point of minimum wage is that it is the gov't mandated minimum compensation a company is to give you in exchange for your work. If you're slacking, they can fire you (the issue with this scheme is if you don't end up completing it then you're not only "fired" but get your JSA docked too). As far as the edit goes, bull shit are they not working for tesco . A training course is a training course. Stacking shelves is stacking shelves. It's not exactly a transferable skill, nor is it training for much else. Tesco would still be paying minimum wage to actual proper employees for this "shelf stacking training course" if Job Centre weren't to have this scheme available to them.

Not all kids at a paediatricians are of the age to have been vaccinated. So now you have parents bringing in their kid with measles/mumps/rubella/meningitis etc going "my child is ill" while all the younger unvaccinated kids are being exposed to this virus.

You get JSA anyway. So yeah they get free gov't sponsored work force.
