  1. Re:Tranquilizer? on Movies Losing Popularity at Box Office · · Score: 1

    that is what smgs are for, add a tripod, a scope and you have it
    anyway, 10 meters with a handgun shouldn't be a problem, especially with something as calm as a colt m1911
    heck, even i managed to hit bottles at 15 meters with a makarov

    .223 is not good for silencing. better take .45 acp, as it is subsonic it could be silenced much better.

    it is not that bad actually, if you are indespensible you can avoid the peter principle (competent workers are promoted until they reached their level of incompetence) and stay at the position you like most.

    no, our company doesn't block websites

  5. Re:Quick Fix, Instant-Oatmeal One-Hour photo answe on 'No Quick Fix' From Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    siemens makes almost everything.
    to be more precise, siemens had a child company named kraftwerk union (kwu) which used to build lots and lots of nuclear powerplants. a couple of years ago though siemens sold kwu to a french nuclear reactor maker but afair kept the turbine making business.

    ah, yes, here it is

    p.s. i used to live in a town where kwu had one of their main sites.

    no matter how much you modify it.
    anyway, i don't see a point in vb. c# is very easy and if you really must take language for learing, why not chose delphi? pascal was always better than basic as a language for beginners and modern pascal dialects (like delphi) are as powerful as any other programming languages.

    well, exactly why is apple cool? at the moment apple makes nothing but stock pcs with an eye-candy operating system and some overhyped mp3 players

    nothing cool about that, pal - just daisy rock guitars of the computer world

    check your history facts please.

    ussr was invited by the afghan administration to help them against amin who has murdered the prime minister, declared himself ruler of afghanistan and started a reign of terror.
    ussr also invested lot of money in afghanistan, building schools, industry and so on.

    so no, it is not like the ussr invaded afghanistan and tried to bomb it into the stone age.

  15. Re:You are a coward on Future of Maglev in the US Military · · Score: 1

    actually you can see it both ways

    the soviet army was the only thing that stood between the us military and the rest of the world. as soon as ussr was dissolved the us army has begun to bomb several countries to the stone age.

    that is why i prefer companies where the execs are the only shareholders.

    it is easier to deal with the greed of a few persons who are bound by law and they own conciousness than with the greed of many persons who basically aren't bound by anything.

  20. Re:Europe vs US on Videogaming Keeps the Brain From Aging · · Score: 1

    oh come on, give me a break.

    english is similar enough to most european languages, especially to dutch. anyway, taking language courses without being exposed to that particular language can be sufficient as long as you keep practizing.

    i used to speak a bit hebrew, many germans speak russian or even latin (both with a gross accent though).
    the german abitur (roughly comparable to the british a-levels) compulsory includes two foreign languages and many pupils even take three (popular choices are latin, english and french).

    if you could just stop whining about the mainlander arrogance, you could use the free time for practizing - no offence intended.
