And a rudimentary grasp of English. Dribbling betel nut juice on the rudimentary touchpad. In the style of.

The Independent has an absolutely white hot editorial slant against anything good about the war. They were running splash front pages for months depicting total chaos and destruction, saying that the only way to save the situation was a Big Bug Out. Turns out they were talking bollocks, so it's not at all surprising to see them trying to claim its still disastrous. The surge imposed enough calm to get people talking. It hasn't done anything by itself, but to say it was a waste of time, or to argue that security isn't important in peace-making/peace-keeping strikes me as amazing. Anyway, talking of the WUO, they only became officially defunct in 1981.

I think it would be awesome if he really did change, and one day was like a pirate, the next like an accountant, the next like an old native woman blogging from a rudimentary raft on the Orinoco river.

I agree with hildegaarde's point. Simply knowing terrorists doesn't make you a terrorists. I know all sort sof unsavoury types, but i don't think I'm unsavoury. However, something which does disturb me is how far certain middle class elites seem to accept the WUO. they used plenty of force in tehir attacks. Plenty enough to kill people. Brushing it off as 1960s idealism strikes me as obscene.

your statistic is not ameasure of criminal behaviour per se. It's a measure of what the (mostly white) police will pick people up for. I'm not anti-cop at all, as my other posts should have shown, but simply pointing at arrest records doesn't 'prove' your point. [assuming I understand your point]

I've only once been tempted to go on the stock market because I find commercial investors behave like diahorettic sheep. Dashing about making a fuss and crapping everywhere. You can be as smart as you like about which companies will do well and then the moron majority yank the rug from under you. Several of the recent closures seem particularly symptomatic. If you insist of doing some investing I'd recommend you learn at the feet of a relative or two first. This has the added advantage of fostering family ties.

Gorgon was saying that some cards are optimised for high heat.

Awesome! Really appreciate it! EDIT: I can run Baldur's Gate! Muhuh, muhah, muahahahahahahahahah!

I was looking for a new wristwatch, and became entranced by this: It gave me the idea of building a new computer case, using a fixed frame then layering clock components across the frame. Should look good. But I'm wondering how I handle the edges and corners. Not to mention the door - although the obvious solution to the door wil be to cannabilise one of the clock doors. Thoughts?

Flipping this again, how is the heat generated? Resistance in the materials? What are the materials? (I'm in engineering mood and clutching my TRIZ handbook)

She's a little beauty. I've called her Song of Silence.

Sand's like the freaking Scarlet Pimpernel. Except he doesn't save anyone from the guillotine.

I don't understand why you have to cheat. It's a nonsense that you have some sort of 'points' system for athletic versus intelligence. We have primo athletes at UK universities and they manage to pass exams.

Fail.

When I worked in an office I had to deal with credit card details. It got to the stage where I memorised them without intending to. You just process enough of one kind of data and it slips in. It's pointless worying about who knows about you. The only sensible thing in my opinion is to worry about how accurate it is. I personally am more worried people are running around thinking I have kids I don't have (true story) than knowing I don't. Jeez I hope the 1/4 box you threw in the dumpster did not have any of my personal info in it... It's actually pretty scary the information that I have access to. There seriously isn't any safety of information what so ever in this day and age. Also the papers I threw away, half of them didn't even have anything on them and the others probably didn't have more than a name and contact info. Either way its not like anyone is just going to ever see them ever again unless someone decides they want to jump into that particular gas station dumpster and sort through 5 layers of hell.

Untrue. Criminality is much higher in poor areas of society than in rich areas of society. This is the fact in every city, in every country all over the world. The more a person feels rejected by the society he/she lives in, the easier it is for said person to commit a crime against that society. Most people don't become criminals because they are too lazy to work (which is what you're insinuating), it's because they feel they are being treated unfairly by society and thus doesn't care for society. Rich people could add a few million to their bank accounts by robbing banks too, instead of having to work 12 hours every day. So why don't they? The rich people I know don't work 12 hours a day any more than the poor people I know. As Aram says, I recjkon criminality is usually down to other factors. To follow a similar line to you, a lot of the rich people I know have contempt for society because they feel superior to it rather than rejected by it.

We know that zombies die if you destroy their brains. Perhaps the 'eating' of brains is simply a stratagem for reducing competition for some other resource, or merely another expression of their urge to kill. If it is another ersource or activity they are trying to hoard then its nature could explain a great deal about the phenomenon.

Hope your problem is sorted eircanerd. I had to put up with no dedicated graphics card for ages.

Thinking about this some more, why can't you just soundproof it, rather than reducing emissions? Is cooling the issue? Surely there must be high conductivity materials which would conduct heat? Maybe a lattice of aluminium foils?

Thanks, Strix. Have you got one, then? I'm trying to work out if I can get the Panzer General series of games on it. the true old skool ones running on windows 95. Also perhaps Chaos Gate. Do you think I could set up a win95 partition or something? They don't work under compatibility mode.

I'd tend to agree with Rostere, but also have to take into account relatives who live in South Africa. There the criminals really are heavily armed and one friend has had to fight off - on his own - three home invasions. No kidding. However, he acknowledges that the situiation sucks, and the only real fix is to address where the buggers are coming from. He can't fight them all single handed. It's amazing he hasn't been killed. I have also had two friends and relatives who have been shot while armed themselves.

Goes to show you haven't been reading my posts. And you haven't been reading my behind!

Sounds more like my mum.

You should work for a non-regulated company.
