course, america had deals with saddam too, up until the first gulf war. Gotta love the photos of ole Rummy hanging out with Saddam.
And the weapons, oh the weapons. I guess you also forget that america gave shedloads of weapons to the ole Butcher of Baghdad during the Iran/Iraq war. Those chemicals used to gas the Kurds, wonder who they INITALLY came from?
you should also remember that the Russians did a pretty good job at trying to wipe out the Jews as wel. Many Jews were fleeing Russia, making it to Poland/Hungary/etc only to be met by the Nazis. Russia wasn't being all ideological fighting the Nazis, the Nazis invaded them. Simple. There was nothing noble in it.
I want to know why Australia (the country I am from), and I am talking about the goverment obviously, doesn't pull its head from its arse and start making some inroads in these areas of the world already. We are geographicaly close to them (espeically indonesia), yet we do a good job at pushing them aside in favour of the america. I mean, doesn't it make sense to defuse the bomb early instead of clearing up the damage later?
Sure Australia is a anglo saxon nation and that there is always the inherant cultural, um, prefernce (people don't like to hear how they are actually racist/prejudiced) of sticking with "people like us", but that seems to be one of the main reasons why if there is ever any invasion of "them" to "us", well, its not hard to work out why.
So yeah, pull your fuckin head out australia and grow a frickin brain.
ah, but here's the thing, yes there are different car makers, BUT, and this is a big american sized BUT,
the interface in ALL the cars is largely the same.
They all have a steering wheel, gears (or an auto), layout is reasonably the same, you can be sure of getting a speedo, fuel gauge....
if you can drive one car you can drive ANY (ok, with maybe one or two pedantic exceptions)
but linux? well yes, they all have a terminal of some description...but then you have kde, gnome, all the other windowmanagers, up2date, YaST, portage, rpm etc etc, Thats the equivalent of stopping the car, popping open the fuel tank, dipping in the ole rod and checking the level not to mention on different cars, you need a different rod, maybe the fuel tank is in the back, maybe the front.
so yeah, once there is some kind of uniformity in the whole linux experience, well, people will run away in fear.
lets say the average dvd rip is a dvd5, or about 4400MB
4400MB / 60 minutes 73MB minute 1.2MB second 9.7Mb/s
so, you get 9.7Mbit a second, sustained.
nice. We don't get 10Mbit to the home for a while here (Amsterdam), think some small towns have it, Norway I think does....maybe you download at work (its nice working for a ISP) but, somehow, I doubt you would do that.
Its kinda funny really how much you can take things out of context with a bit of agile snipping here and there.
Halo 2 is a good target, you'd think it was the next coming of the party trick bloke from what you heard. I mean, people calling it game of the year before its even been released (ok, they might have a grabbed it off a torrent a bit early), wierd.
why do you need alot of free space? I mean, I have 400gig at home and its normally pretty full, shuffling stuff around, I mean, I like the fact that I hardly ever have enough space, means I am doing well at collecting lots of, erm, stuff.
the people who have spent their time in uni with no real world experience demanding 5000+, well, those days (thankfully) are gone too. Experience AND education are whats gold.
That and having rich parents with connections, but I guess everyones name isn't Bush
The champion move is in Madden 94 or 95 (don't remember which exactly) you could go for a field goal and if it went out of bounds on the full, you got the points. It happened when I was playing a mate of mine and I was getting my arse kicked and I was 70 yards away and went "Fuck it" and just went for a field goal, misjudged, went way off right and got the points anyways.....
transcoding will always mean some degredation in quality. Its just not possible to recompress something that is already compressed (talking about music/video here) and not lose some more quality.
I mean, the main problem that I have when talking to women (as opposed to my wife is)
a) woman largely want to talk about something that interests them, and only them aa) its also very boring example: my cat was chased by a dog last night and got stuck up a tree.....
b) they get offended at a) even though they themselves are also guilty of acting disinterested when you tell them all the really cool stuff that happened example: DAMN, this cacodemon came out of freakin no where, and the heat haze effect is awesome by the way, and anways, it shoots and I just barely dodged it and got down into the CPU bit to fight Sarge, but thats not the best bit.....(woman in a coma)
I mean, men and women are different animals, eventually you will find 1 (and probably only 1) you can get along with.....the rest are there for eye candy, light the lighting in doom3

gifs are pretty old school these days...
ah the days of the first animated gifs...
A tick in the married box for me (heh)
The funny thing to me is that as you get older, the things that would make you unpopular in school, make you ideal marriage material later.....
its just the patience game when it comes to geeks and women.

That link is hilarious to read as well, I mean, just how much people attacked the iPod, these slashbot pseudo geeks
waaa waaa, too expensive, waaa waaa, only firewire, oooo apple is dying, grrrr steve jobs is an idiot...
all written with the firm conviction of the slashdot intelligentsia.
its really freakin funny.

ah, but in Monkey Island 1, you COULD die, staying underwater longer than 10 minutes...
I know, I tried it.
of some people is going to shrivel very soon it seems....$500+ for a shrivelled e-penis, what a shame.

in holland, postcodes are 4 numbers, 2 letters
so on my street, it goes from 1056AA to 1056ZZ, each postcode refering to a block of maybe 10-20 apartments.
