More brutal? Certainly. More sloppy? I suppose. One only needs to look at the complete annihilation of Germany to see with crystal clarity how an "idea" can be, while not completely destroyed, effecivly made to be moot.

No, the problem in Iraq is that we have to be mindful of civilians and cannot properly raze locations that harbor terrorists. You cant win a fight with one hand tied behind your back.

Ah yes, that old dog and pony show. We just dont "get" them so of course the only possible action is to blow stuff up.

Thats pure lip service Sand. You dont need to kill the "idea" if you kill enough people who will act on the idea to drive it underground and make it a non-factor.

Thats pure speculation. I could just as easily counter that it could make them think man, Id really like to keep my brains in my skull, I better lay off.

^Not if that ideaology is blown out of the back of your head.

Doesnt Listerine have alcohol as a base ingredient? Much like you can get hammered on a bottle of Nyquil due to its very high percentage of alcohol. EDIT: Wiki says Listerine contains 26.9% alcohol. Thats equivalent to Schnapps.

^Elaborate please. What was the "failure to prosecute" you refer to, the sucessufl toppling of the Taliban? The institution of an elected government? The wholesale destruction of unnumeral terrorist training facilities?

What in the world are you basing that on? You somehow "just know" that if we werent involved in Iraq, Bin Laden would have been captured? Because more people on the ground = instant capture while completely ignoring the actual fact of the situation? You know, pesky thinks like his ability to slip back and forth across borders that our troops cant, receiving support throughout the region and having an entire mountain range worth of cave networks to hide in.

*fails save vs flamebait* You do realize there is a war and manhunt going on in Afghanistan right? How is that "ignoring" him?

Mistress shut it down for a variety of reasons. You can find out more poking around on her other site.

My condolences.

Didnt some high level wizard come after you relentlessly until you gave them back or died fighting him?

Im not sure about this but I consider "hyperthreading" the poor mans muliti-core processor. Also not sure about this but feel comfortable saying all Intel P4 chips have the capability. I know when I purchase from Dell for my company one of the questions they ask is do I want it on or off (hyperthreading) and that you can enable/disable it via the OS. I think default is off so that may be the case with you.

I like tattoos (have 3) but dont care for extreme piercings or modifications.

Interesting article. As an aside, I wonder if something like this would stunt human evolution. IIRC, arent viral interations critical in causing our DNA to adapt and evolve?

Im just curious, is this a home built system? Ive never seen a PC that didnt have a fan for the processor. IIRC, my rig has one for the power supply, one for the processor and one mounted directly on the video card (GE Force 6800) which I hadnt seen before until I bought it.

*uses force choke on meta*

Lol, I did the same thing. I only figured out you could upgrade your stuff by accidentally clicking a cannon while trying to shoehorn another platform into an area.

^Well, I grouped the most powerful weapons in the center of the map as it provides the most "kill zones". The "combination tower" does hellacious damage and once upgraded is fairly fast.

I got a score of 1988 and died on the first bonus level.

Why doesnt this ever happen to me?

Sadly, my Stretch Armstrong succumbed to childhood curiosity and a steak knife. I could never do that to one of my toys! But....I just had to see what was inside. :'( I'm pretty sure cutting open a Stretch Armstrong is one of the first signs of a serial killer. That, or brain cancer. or both! Wanna hang out together? :D
