Humodour

**** you make Portugal sound so sexy.

It's a bit difficult for him. He's a Brit.

IMHO, Native Client (NaCl... mmm salt) is even more interesting than HTML5: http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20003527-264.html

If you own shares in Adobe, sell them now: http://www.kevs3d.co.uk/dev/asteroids/ Between Javascript, HTML5, OpenGL 2 support, and 3D acceleration in web browsers, the future looks pretty interactive. And it looks like a future without Flash. Hopefully it's also a future without proprietary video codecs. ****ing H.264.

Your mum's face is relative.

Yeah, never EVER check Wikipedia for a book/game/movie you don't have yet because it's ****ing spoiler central. I've lost count of how many times I accidentally ruined a plot because I was innocently looking for other information on a title. So annoying.

Just curious. The location field is often deceptive. I'm from Australia.

It's all relative.

I understand how the city view works fully now. Water tiles are pretty damn powerful when you're dutch.

I didn't say the safety was "obviously balls" either. I'm sure the safety was 'good'. But there's a possibility it should have, and could have been 'excellent'. That's my point. You're too quick to defend them.

I didn't say anything about perfect safety. Edit: But I did talk about optimum safety. You can't just assume that current safety standards are optimum.

Look, you're polite, and informative, but one can tell by the tone of your posts that you're also incredibly biased. Maybe I am a foreigner, but maybe that's what it takes to look at the situation objectively.

This assumes we're at the point where we can't improve the error rate any further. Which is wrong.

I don't know anything about the geography, but clearly you have the logical option of letting them have the sodding name. So yes, it is always both party's fault that a compromise can't be reached. Not really, because allowing them to be called just plain "Macedonia" would practically mean we give up on our history, identity and culture. Wow, you're the master of embarrassingly tenuous justifications.

Japan is both repugnant and alluring to me in equal measure. I can't decide how I feel about it. I wouldn't mind travelling there.

lol. Still, is prison for punishment or rehabilitation? Or simply removal from society? If it's the last two then the Norse are on the right track.

Somebody have a think about what it means to have personally killed 700 of your fellow human beings, especially in the world wars, where they weren't barbaric terrorists but simply on the opposite side. Somebody who does that is different to us. They would see humans as farmers see cattle.

Oh wow. The Montara oil spill was one of the biggest ones around the world in the past few decades, yet it looks like the one in America is has already leaked as much as it. That's ****ed up.

Sure, it's possible to cap oil spills, but it's not always that easy. Consider the most recent oil spill in Australia (ignoring those idiot Chinese who took an illegal shortcut over the Great Barrier Reef in their tanker ship), and the worst in Australia's history: a Thai rig which took 2.5 months to cap, and FIVE attempts to cap it before they were successful, all the while the damn thing was spewing crude oil all over the Timor Sea. There's a Royal Commission into why they ****ed up 5 times, and why it happened in the first place, but considering how serious such a commission is we won't here its recommendations for a couple of years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montara_oil_spill

Greece's objections to Macedonia are absolutely ****ing ridiculous. It makes them look like idiots, IMHO.

Wait what, how did you get her email, and do you think you've got a chance? Nice work detective! :D

Hahahaha that post made my day, Wals.

Question Time in Australia is hilarious. The pollies go at each-other like vicious cats. Ironically it's also where a lot of good information on policies comes from.
