Ubuntu does not have drivers for my Linksys Wireless PC card and my Intel graphics card. I was so excited (because it was the equivalent of spitting on Microsoft's face) when I got the Ubuntu CD from the mail (I had it shipped) but was disappointed when I would be getting the standard 800 by 600 resolution that wouldn't allow me to see the bottom of huge dialog boxes and wired technology.
I keep on forgetting that my Dell Inspiron 2600 is "designed for Windows XP."
It was like being in a relationship that would never work because she's(Ubuntu) too good for you.
One of the things that my Dungeon Masters kept on "teaching" my "brilliant" doppelganger psychic warrior/slayer is never to take the same route from point A to point B. This lesson is not lost on evil paranoid characters (who always expect an ambush), particularly the drow and the assassin NPCs.
Good characters tend to view the world with rose-colored glasses and this is why they die alone in a horribly catastrophic way while going out to town for a drink of ale.
I should have qualified that with former European colony ruled by the native population.
Which ethnic group rules those examples you've given? Of course, those descended from European stock. If it were the natives I bet they would be torn apart by civil war, endemic diseases, massive food shortages, and/or massively corrupt governments.
And, by the way, the original ethnic groups in those places (ie those who were there before the evil white man came), except Hong Kong, have received the short ends of whatever sticks were handed to them.
Uh, dude, electricity roasts your brain (and pretty much everything else) just poke a metal object into an electric outlet. =D
You accuse people who wish to have these tribes remain isolated of arrogance. But aren't you being arrogant yourself in assuming that the Western way of life is superior. Listen, if it weren't for a few meddling "explorers" in the so-called Age of Discovery, the developing world wouldn't be as fucked up as it is now.
Name me a former European colony and I can easily tell you that it's a developing nation.
Note that in a jungle the spearmen probably actually could win. Tanks are rather large... Tell me how it's possible for a bunch of spearmen to open a tank which can support its crew for hours on end by using only flimsy wooden weapons with (at best) steel tips.

Regarding your sig, isn't some large-scale military contractor in charge of Gundam?
I, for one, welcome our Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope masters.
No way!

Dammit, I miss those days.
It says "Face Recognition Goes..." then talks about fingerprints in the end? I think "Biometric Scanning Goes..." would be better.

Oh, man. You're right. This does sound like The Sound of Drums.
More likely it's employed by The Master to search for The Doctor.
