The pubs do it because it's cheaper and easier to ship a digital goodie than a physical one. Me, I don't like the free stuff, and haven't used it when I've got it for precisely the reasons you describe. Now if there was something which only activated later... like a cooler house in a beter position? :)

Hold on... I'll just check my library... *twenty minutes later* Mixed up memories. Genstealer cults (WD 116) can use mutants as human bombs.

I've actually been attacked by wild dogs. Two of them. Three if you count the tiny chihuahua which chased me, and had rabies. But that was hilarious rather than dangerous.

You sure you're not referring to abhumans? Nope. Beastmen. And I think there were also explodey mutants with tentacles and such. Unless I'm confusing that with The Lost and the Damned.

Can't be worse than pheasant. :x

I wondered the same thing. Interestingly, the same change in FO3 stopped it crashing (no exaggerations) every five to ten minutes after my housemate started playing it on my win 7 machine. Nvidia card, if that helps.

I still can't work out how to play caravan. Despite reading two guides.

Yup. Thanks to British Telecom* ignoring my problems my internet had been down quite a bit. Yet Steam works more or less without causing issues. ~~~ Random aside: either we had a small earthquake tremor, or my house is shaking for some other reason. Hope it's tanks. * More than 50 mentions, you bastards

I just think it's interesting that it seems people will put up with lmost anything until they get hungry, or fuel prices go above a certain point.

Interesting question there, Gorgo. If they'd been slaughtered to be turned into a delicious cury, would it be as bad?

Well, again, perhaps in order to have a revolution you need a degree of organisation. Plus a degree of revolutionary vision. Which if you spend all day tending a herd of whelks you may lack. Plus keep in mind that just because a few hundred thousand march about it doesn't mean there's a revolution. We had 500k+ at the anti Iraq march. Although I'll grant you the worst they could expect is having to wee in public.

OK, NOW I have a mental image of Volo trapped on a table by a mouse. EDIT: For the record, in my image Volo is just a bunch of dark non-euclidean triangles.

Proof cats are evil.

Most of the time when I read for fun it's in the bath, or when travelling, and either way the book's going to get wet - travel in England being what it is. Kindle can't do that. Unless you rigged up some kind of projector. That could be awesome.

I've only ever killed small game. Pretty weird when I forgot what it was like. I saw a woman killed with a shiv once. That was quick. She just fell down, like a puppet with its strings cut. In fact it was the easiness of it which was most disturbing. *shivers*

Interesting that LoF is weighing in on the MB's side. I just had the most fantastic mental image of LoF's birthday party.

I know that wasn't your point, man. One reason it's commendable. Had more than 40 texts from one of my exes today. I guess I really could write love letters in the old days... No action on that front. But occasionally it's nice to regard the dusty souvenirs. ...And if any of you work out who I'm talking about and call her a dusty souvenir, we're all dead. Seriously.

I was thinking rocket launcher, until I saw this: http://www.break.com/index/spanish-protest...t-launcher-fail

I'm reminded of the end of the poem 'The Sceret People' There is a world of difference between what scholars may say in dusty beams of light, and what kings may sign in fire and steel, and what ordinary people think as they scrub the toilet.

LOL ...babies.

Thought: if you're going to have a processor and so forth, isn't it a bit of a missed trick to have just written text? I've been told by teacher friends they can't even DO lessons which are text based any more.

But I'm saying that it isn't inherently political, and nor does it have only political themes to it. I'd be an idiot if I claimed there had been an Islamic transition to secularism. But On the whbole it's not a big deal. Where it becomes problematic is when you have one or more factors in addition: 1. Uneducated stone age bastards 2. A radicalisation machine, along communist infiltration lines (pioneered by the MB, incidentally) 3. Some sociopolitical problem which benefits from the simplicity of simply pointing at the opposition and screaming 'unbeliever'.

Some people do it on principle. But yes, the majority derive courage from very simple things. Despair is an absolute classic. I'll say it again, for the record. We have been living in a golden age, and I very much fear that this century will have more unrest and slaughter than the last. The great tragedy being (in my mind) that we will have provoked it not by action, but by inaction.

The method of killing them doesn't bother me. It's the waste of material/opportunity.

Alright I concede on the point about textbooks. If only because presumably you can search references easier. But also it must be easier for schools, as you say.
