All I mean to say that although the Chinese will most certainly devastate their environment (Soviet-style dictatorships and ecology don't mix), it will not wipe them off the face of the planet. Just as Europe's heavy industrialization haven't done us in the XIXth century, despite also bringing a devastation to much of the natural landscape in Europe.
I wouldn't worry about the EU that much, we have our own problems. But Asia will certainly kick bot the US and European ass in the next decade. High commodity prices mean that such countries like Malaysia have lots of money.
Interesting bit of facts you posted here. So Google does not simply censor keywords like "Falun". They block some web pages and let through others, those which say things convenient for the China government. Effectively, google.cn is an extension of the Chinese propaganda ministry. I wonder whether Google checks the content of the pages on its own, or does it get a list of the allowed pages from the Chinese?

A lot of people (incl. me) are scared by installation issues in P180. The front door have some quality problems, too (plastic warping). I considered buying it but decided for Antec's P150 and I'm enthusiastic about it. My PC is almost silent now. A truly great case.
The noise levels they're talking about (~45 dBA) are just way over the top from my point of view - I'd be reluctant to consider anything over about 25 dBA, which is about 50-100 times quieter.
Are you comparing measurements from the "roundup" cited here directly with the SPCR measurements? It may be misleading, maybe they put the dBA meter so close that 45 dBA is in reality not so much noise as you think?
(I upgraded my video card to be able to play Oblivion, and I'm waiting a few months for it to fail before I void warantee by replacing the active heatsink it came with.)
Unscrew the stock heatsink and keep it somewhere. If you need to RMA the card, just screw it back on and pretend that nothing happened;-)
I've got friends who have the 64 Pro, and they also agree, load/idle temps are *far* lower than anything they've tried. Only water cooling gets lower.
At what voltage? My Freezer 64 Pro cools the system very well at 12 V, but gets a little noisy. When I set the RPM to a half of the maximum value (so I suppose the voltage is about 6 V), it cools a little worse and is a lot quieter. It pays to have a fan regulator.
Freezer is a great cooler for the money, but I don't think that "only water cooling gets lower". And its performance depends a lot on the air flow in your case. Freezer works best with a rear exhaust case fan.
TES: Morrowind. Trades the majority of bugs for poor mechanical and art design. Who, seriously, thought it was a good idea to make every enchanted item shine like it was covered in an inch of iridescent plastic? Weird bugs, like NPCs on boats falling through into the water and drowning, remain. Poor design decisions, like the ludicrously expensive assassin armor all but given to the PC after Tribunal is installed, are added after the fact. Internal mechanics are horribly broken, ranging from the infinitely abusable alchemy to the arcane min-maxing that the level advancement and attribute gain system all but demands.
just like all toilets swirl the other direction down under
They don't. It's a myth. The Coriolis force is too weak to enforce the direction of swirl. It depends on the toilet.
In the long term, it pays to be good. Those are good generate goodwill towards them. This turns into revenue because people like to stick with the good guys. In the short term, being greedy and immoral may bring you quick cash, but won't last in the long term.

That's why having another, independent system (Galileo) would come in handy. If GPS goes down for *any* reason, Americans will be able to switch to Galileo. Competition's always healthy.
I think the previous poster mean "we're MILITARY ALLIES" as in "we've landed on the Omaha Beach and went through one hell of a slaughter to help you kick the Nazis out".
But it's not Google religion, it's just e-mail. If people want to delete something, why not make it easy for them to do so? I frequently delete e-mails on Gmail, and I don't care that Google thinks I shouldn't.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

Did we in XIXth century?
It just doesn't scale. But you know that, don't you?

Ron Paul has a history of being a racist:

"However it could be argued that better killing skills leads to less fatalities and injuries,"
The civilian/military casualties ratio has been increasing for the last 100 years, AFAIR.
That changes the picture a bit.
Your logic is faulty. The good guys get screwed anyway. So the least one can do, is to create some pain for the bad guys.

The foreign TV cameras. If it were not for them, the tanks would simply not stop.
AFAIK, nuclear test contributed negligibly to the cancer rate.

Amen, brother. And yet I love this game.
Both considered themselves to be Polish. I guess it settles the matter.
Looking back we know that dozens of millions less would have been killed if continental Europe would have ganged up against the Nazis in time.
But it did. The problem was, Nazis were too strong.

Wow. And what do we do with the unfortunate fellow who requested magazines his neighbours do not approve of? Burn the rascal at a stake?
