Reports say that as India pulls the plug on the system the last telegram in its buffers will be Ambassador Zimmerman asking Mexico if it would like to join Germany in attacking America. India reported to be indifferent on the subject.
The secret to Roman concrete lies in its unique mineral formulation and production technique.
Oh? Really? Its not becuase the Romans made sacrifices to Jupiter? They didn't make their concrete with a recipe given to them by ancients astronauts? The secret lies with thier recipe and technique? Who knew?
Spend 15 years on development of a game that was so over-hyped and rediculously re-designed everytime a new game technology came out, then pushed on the back burner only to be re-animated every so often, promises made and broken over and over? Seriously, who could possibly imagine that someone would sue some one?
but lets at least stick to valid, rational arguments that are actually supported by facts for our claims.
My facts are valid and completely verifiable. I do not care to live in a country that claims to be "land of the free and home of the brave" that is locking away even less than 1% of its populace and returns brave acts with calls of "treason". They called dissidents in Nazi Germany "treasonous". What will you have to say if they haul you off for acts of "treason"?
Testify! Just yesterday I was reading some guff here and there about EA's damage control for their plainly bad player relations history. Now this. *facepalm*
It says a hell of a lot more about the apathy and ignorance of the voters who helped create it.
Yes, certainly this is part of the problem. But there comes a point when a government becomes a completely self-sustaining, mindless, autocratic system whose sole reason for being is to feed upon the country its supposed to serve and become bigger. We're well past that point, and past the point where our government can be steered to correctness simply by voting. Unless you're a large corporate entity with a lot of cash this government really has no use for you, you're fodder, a bug to be smashed by its own huge, lumbering wheels. Voting? Ha, that's just an ancient ritual that we practice becuase our ancestors did it. What would be the purpose of Prism? To prevent terrorism? So far, its not working all that well. All those phone records. Smells to me like a more efficient way of traking a suspect's activities up to the event, provide a chain of evidence that will lock him away easier than keeping Little Billy and Auntie Em safe. And that's what this country does, it puts even more people in prison than any other country in the WORLD. North Korea only has about 1.2 mil in those prison camps. Last figures I saw for incarcerated Americans was approching 2 mil.
Its interesting to me that they claim to have stopped thousands of terrorist attacks, yet refuse to provide hard data in the name of national defense. Yet they were powerless to prevent the Boston bombings. I wonder what the excuse will be after the next terrorist attack? And remember kids, the best way to perpetuate the status quo is to keep your people under the yolk by setting up a standing emergency (terrorist threats) and keeping the country in a state of perpetual war. Keeps 'm guessing, that's what Pappy always said; "Keep 'm guessing and keep those arrest warrants secret."
Buying ANY land in Japan is very expensive and building things underground doesn't save you from siesmic activity, it may infact magnify it in some circumtances.
You took my thunder. You're points are all equally valid and on point. I don't get this either. With the Yen on the slide, kind of hard to understand where they came up with the will to pony up the cash. But ok, they did. I guess the prestige and visitor money it will bring in is worth it.
Thailand is a dictatorship only in as much as the people want it to be. I've spent a lot of time there, and aside from some really rediculous laws concerned with disrespecting his likeness (which are more institutional rather than by his command) the Thai monarchy is hardly what I would call dictatorial. If you go spit on the King's picture in a resturaunt they'll call the police, but its not becuase the King himself decreed it or would give a shit, its just on the books. The PM (currently some guy named Shinawatra, which is like "Smith" in Anglo countries) hold way more power.
Agreed. Gimp is a soft spot as far as professional apps on Linux. Its interesting to me as Gimp is as powerful as any full-blown gfx manip package out there, but that damn UI is so horrible. 2.8 is no improvement imo. Some one at GNU needs to take that shaggy dog by the paws and give it a good shake. A new, INTUITIVE UI would do wonders to get more people into Linux as an professional platform.

Nope. It translates "A penis in hand saves nine."

EA still executed the current state of affairs. And they already have a bad rep. Its too late. I still refuse to buy an EA title.

now that we know where to looking for the Higgs
Sorry you large English problem. Didn't we find the Higgs a few months ago?
*woosh*, his point was building it in Nevada would be so on and so forth.
so there is no need to purchase that much land

So you're essentially drooling for a slide rule. They can be had on e-bay for various prices.
... cool. This upgrade is a long time coming. They base version was hell at rendering.
whatever. I think the dude is funny as hell. I hope they don't murder him.
Seriously though, who the hell cares if the RC is bigger than the one before it...
That's kind of where my head is at in this. If Torvalds is really upset about it he can fork the code and create a "Linux-Lite" or something.
They'd care that you did it more if you were powerful.
And yet, if I did it in an anglo country, no harm, no foul.
I haven't been there in 10 years. Whatever.

Seriously? You gotta wonder about a political system petty enough to have something like this.

You describing linux? I have a marvelous triple monitor setup and watch movies w/o problems.
If I experinced "glitches" on linux anywhere near what you're describing I wouldn't use it. 'nuff said.

Photoshop sucks and steam has been ported to Linux. Next?
Who would know better?
