Wrath of Dagon

Does backstab work with ranged weapons also?

If it's a 720P TV, all it's doing is down converting it back to 720P before it displays it. If it can show the signal, it means it's designed to handle it, so it shouldn't damage anything.

OK, so you have the component cable. I think you can try 1080P without any problems, though I don't see the point. You could try 1080i first, any HD TV should be able to accept that signal.

Rogues are a lot of fun to stealth, scout out the enemy, set traps, fire a critical shot from stealth, then run like hell to hide behind the rest of the party.

How many video connectors are on that cable? You need the component cable (3 video connectors) to even get 720P. Like I said, if your TV has an HDMI connector, it should be able to accept a 1080P signal. I think the xbox360 hdmi cable will give you an optical 5.1 output also, but I'm not sure.

I think you need an HDMI connector for 1080P, and if your TV has that it should be able to accept that signal. But you're better off setting the 360 to the native resolution of the TV, and 360 games are all rendered in 720P anyway.

True, that is the current unemployment rate but that only includes people who are actively receiving benefits. Not included in that percentage are the people who have already used up all their benefit and have been removed from the list, which makes the number much closer to Gorgons. I'm pretty sure it counts everyone who's still looking for work. Also unemployment benefits have been extended, to may be 18 months. I don't think unemployment is anywhere near 20%, that would be Great Depression levels.

The official rate is something like 10.2%. Some say it's higher as you should really count underemployment. I tend to think that's bull since at that point you're not comparing apples to apples.

OK, unemployment only counts people who are temporarily out of work, not people who don't work at all or are engaged in criminal activity instead. Normal US unemployment is around 5%, of course now it's twice that because of the economic crisis.

Yeah, I was thinking special relativity, I didn't even realize there was general relativity. It's all on Wikipedia of course.

Looks like it may all be a fabrication: http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20091201/wl_time/08599194353900

It was from the giant mattress they used for the Big Bang. This does sound important, sounds like they're still debating it though. Also I don't think it negates the theory of relativity, it seems to be a refinement where gravity is concerned.

I didn't say that, I'm saying Saudi Arabia isn't the worst tyranny in the Middle East by a long shot, learn to read.

Yes, I understand it would still be illegal to kids. But the point is the more easily drugs are available and the less stigma attached, the more use can be expected, especially among kids. It's pretty hard to convince your child something is wrong when even the government says it's legal.

Saudi Arabia is quite the tyrannical exception among countries in the Middle East. Is that why they get so much military aid from the US? Or was it the other way around? Saudi Arabia is no exception, and it's not the worst of them, not by a long shot. Oh, the irony!

I agree, but the problem with legalization it'll be easier for kids to get hooked, ruin their lives, and become a burden on society. I don't believe most heroin addicts can hold down a job, so either they'll turn to crime or someone else will have to pay for all their needs and wants.

Don't forget under Sharia law it is punishable by death to convert from Islam to another religion.

So the solution is to create more addicts?

A lot of those are long existing churches, and its true not every Muslim country disallows building of churches. I know Saudi Arabia doesn't allow it.

Freedom is not the same thing as anarchy. A society must regulate itself in some ways, freedom isn't possible among chaos.

Legal drugs -> more addicts -> more crime from addicts trying to support themselves

Demo now out! http://www.histwar.com/news/histwar-les-gr...-available.html

I'm against religious discrimination, but as has been said you can't build a church in Muslim countries at all. Muslims should look at themselves first before complaining.

Yes, it's very cheap to give people free drugs. You realize now you have to provide total support for a completely dysfunctional human being, who can't hold a job or function in society. Drugs used to be legal, they were doing so much damage they had to be criminalized.

Some people do say warming is good and more CO2 will increase food production. Apparently in the past the warm periods coincided with advance of civilization while the cold ones led to decline. Supposedly during the time of the Romans the temps were a full 4oC higher without any of the predicted disasters befalling them. Edit: Also a valid scientific theory is supposed to predict observed data, right now the anthropomorphic global warming theories don't.
