I don't think you can really say chess has no randomness. You can pretty much model the reactions of your opponent based on a probability density distribution for each of his possible moves. You can never be sure of what will he do, but you can get an idea of what he will he possibly do.
OTOH, there are certain aspects of bluffing or tactics on certain dice games, and so on...
First of all, I feel compelled to thank your respectful and well made response. =)
On the other hand, i have the duty to correct you. First of all, you refer to Australia as a continent, but you're wrong. Australia is a country, the continent associated is called Oceania (or Oceanica).
.
Finally, I have to admit i wasn't clear enough about "Your attitude". My comment was based on the precept that the US are a democratic nation, and therefore, the decisions made by the US government are an extension on the positions maintained (did i write that ok?) by the US people. If that's not the case, you should really make a judgment about how your government is operating, because that's how you're seen by the rest of the world.
Considering you're the only nation (AFAIK) who includes their continent in your name, it sounds logical and respectful to the other people who inhabit America (or The Americas, if you prefer), to call you US citizens, or something which distinguish you in an unique way. It's clearer, and it actually respects the identities of the rest of the continent.
If there was actually a little bit more of knowledge about IT, the people who work there wouldn't be treated that badly.
I guess one of the pitfalls is that there still exists management who believes it's all about turning the right kind of switch and everything will get fixed auto-magically.
(At the risk of burning karma for being "partially" OT)
It's actually more about identity. I hope you don't take it as a "US Hating" comment, but it's about the attitude the US has had about America.
Being myself from South America, the feeling we get when we see US citizens calling themselves "Americans", is the same feeling we get when we witness "democratic interventions" of the US into our culture, which i will not name because i think we all know what they are about and this post isn't intended as flamebait.
The discussion about America being a continent and not a country, is a discussion about people from America not wanting the US to keep depreciating and subjugating our cultures.

Actually its pretty easy to tap.. and even easier to decode ( 1-to-1 relation between the waves captured and the audio transmitted)
"You'd mod me redundant or flame bait, wouldn't you. But ha! I posted as a coward!"
+3 Funny.... Sweet sweet irony.
Nice to see a fellow from Chile. :D
Buena loc@
In Argentina it was the same, they were free of charge, and then they changed it.
"was where they were when they said they were there"
Say that 3 times fast!
I am starting to ponder if that isn't the case with the original google, nowadays.
Mod parent up!
That's really the idea
What about using Grooveshark? [google it]. It probably has better audio quality than YouTube anyways.
I think it's not an arrow, but an horizontal line which designates the "floor".
Could someone tell me WTF does "to you to" mean?
Then again, if you refuse to have a propietary browser... why do you accept a propietary ftp client?
It should come without browser, and no ftp, and don't get me started on Telnet!!!
This is the kind of slashdot I like (and missed).
Would you give me your passwords then?
Yes, Mr. Arrgarbl.
Johnndy Depp sounds like the "style" of actor who could pull this off!
I don't know if your post deserves +1 Funny, +1 Interesting, +1 Insightful or what...
But you really deserve some modding up!

That's one of the worst karma whoring i've ever seen! xD

Then you say, America is not a country, but N and S America are. I have to tell you that, first, even on the english language, the question about America being a continent, or the Americas being 3 continents (north, south and central), is not clear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America). But... in every other language that wikipedia has,and is written with a western alphabet, you see America as one continent. That includes french and spanish (Amerique and América)... So i don't think you can tell me straight ahead that: "I'm wrong".

Do you really think this is about me getting confused by the meaning of the word?
You know, different meanings in different contexts and stuff =)
Just make layers- Put a layer of a transparent acrylic material on top of the Magink, and varnish that.

and guess what? They're all americans.
[BTW, saying "what the fuck is steak mince" makes you sound like an arrogant American.]
Makes him sound like an arrogant US citizen. America is a continent, not a damn country...
