Best Police in the World
People wonder at that ? Usually it's either this inflated and fragile sense of self where any criticism is instantly some bleeding heart type or they're just the jock types in school that have power. that think so. Cops are civilians as well, though I guess some of them also forget that. But for them fighting cartels, well If they think they are hard (see the video or the vast other crap the NYPD pulls), why not do the world some good by fighting the worst?

Could argue it would be within the medium - so LOTR films aren't regurgitating the books. I didn't really pick up on the Korean version being exaggerated emotions - some of the stuff the characters come across make it sensible. Mi-do does seem pretty kooky, granted. Coworker suggested I watch I Saw the Devil, next, so I guess that is the target.

Saw Old Boy. Interesting movie, gets a bit odd near the end. Still does a good job of making the villain a bit sympathetic, the protagonist less so - though I was expecting the reason for the incredibly elaborate revenge scheme to be a bit different.

They need to send some NYPD down to fight the cartels in Mexico, heh.

Banks are some Initech-esque nightmare to work for, when I'm ever on site it's amazing to see the BS they have to deal with and red-tape everywhere. I do like the progression charts though as you level up, can move from Junior Programmer to Junior Programmer Analyst to maybe Technical Programming Analyst someday!

Sadly, he ran against an actual crackhead/dealer and won - being a good white bread guy and all. Guy said his experience with crack dealing proved he can manage a large business.

Not an attack, crackhead was going to help his brother or something.

What you did today
Yeah, we had our servers hacked twice last year by friendly hackers (apparently from the country next door). Very fun sitting in an office all morning staring at a PC screen and being neither able to do any work nor at least kill time online while waiting to be able to do work. That would be cool if it happened here. They just forgot to install patches so the tests are invalid. Woo. At least I have my Kindle.

Then better hope that you'll never be the target of a really dangerous burglar or burglars. I like being prepared though, totally beats hoping in my book. I'd be interested to see what the statistics are on how many people are victims of a home invasion and would have been able to prevent it if armed with a gun. I mean, sure, it may make you feel better, but if the odds are the same as getting hit by lightning, I'm not going to walk around wearing a large lightning deflection rod on my head just in case. That'd be one hell of a statistic to gather that they "would have" been able to prevent it if they had a gun. How do you determine that, exactly ? Doesn't really matter what you decide to defend yourself with - a gun is no more evil than a sword or a iron rod - never hurts to at least be prepared. Shotguns would work best I think, the racking sound is intimidating in its own right. Also Don't think they would be very effective at it, to be honest- What are you playing now?

Yeah, I figure I'll wait until they patch it up or show that their vision of the game was crap to begin with, either or time works to the advantage.- RAnDoM VidEO GAmE NeWS
