Her eyes are sortof drifting towards the chest area, the kind of thing that usually happens in the reverse order.

In combat that first usually inaccurate shot counts for a whole lot I surmise.

I thought we only had the one.

Still on win7. Any reason to upgrade ?

North Korea has a thriving black market, in fact the regime have come to rely on the economic activity it generates. Western and South Korean soaps are burned on DVD and command a strong demand, the elites all have smart phones. I don't think it's as closed off as we usually think. The consequences for being caught perpetrating any kind of 'wrong' behavior are extreme though. The hold the regime has on the population is both psychological and physical, they also fear the people greatly I suspect and will never dare relax their grip.

That vid is actually full of people being singled out and beat the crap up while they are lying down. I guess your outrage is pretty selective. Seriously though, shield walls as an answer to an angry mob roman legion style only presents a target, potentially very dangerous if someone has a Molotov, it went out of style decades ago. Crowd control and picking out individuals for arrest is all about mobility and initiative now. We have had a lot of practice on people protesting against the EU, or the G5, World Bank, Macdonalds, whatever. The difference between police brutality and effective crowd control often comes down to tactics.

That's a good point, and one I missed initially.

I'm just making wild accusations here, I know. But if the protesters had been pro Russian your headline would have read the reverse. Also, it's just bloody weird seeing people fighting for the right to join the EU. I'm not 100% but I think this is statistical proof that the Matrix is real.

People protesting for the EU. Up is down, black is white.

So, yes. I'm kinda curious why you would associate democracy with the free market and dictatorship with protectionism. There are loads of examples to the contrary. I mean don't you have to go looking for examples of extreme supression. There aren't that many left. North Korea, maybe Zimbabwe etc. They all partake in information exchange, the web is everywhere. cf. the current Russia - Ukraine debacle, Pakistan under Musharaf etc. It would seem that political supression can coexist quite comfortably with information exchange and free market access.

It's got like, levels, in the interpretation, which is rare by itself for hiphop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTgQS48vBqI Sometimes spotify takes you places. Usually not a fan of Danish hiphip. I can count what I really dig on one hand. Video is kinda lame, but that's to be expected.

Well, there are coups as well as revolutions, in fact i'd venture to say that the former are more common, where established democracies become juntas. I don't see the invisible hand of statistics at work unless a dictatorship is tied directly to the life of a single person. Chauchesco, Hussein, etc. The communist party will be the communist party. It's reasonably inclusive as long as you are willing to tow the official line, and government repression is tempered as well. They tend to make do with making an example out of very loud detractors and leave it at that. The Chinese people at large have come to accept it.

Get a big brand name like Seasonic or Corsair. If you splurge a litte you can get one that doesn't use the fan when in low power draw. This migth help. I wasn't able to get the one I wanted, not even the second choice, but you might fare better. Ended up with a Corsair. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/63897-build-thread/page-2

There never was any united regional Asian group of nations for historical reasons. I imagine it's too late now. I also don't think the movement towards democracy is inevitable. It's a perception grounded in western ideology and the notion that scientific and political progress is supposed to go hand in hand.

The dynamics are changing. Japan has come to realize that it can't depend on the US forever and is starting to spend to try and match the acceleration in Chinese defense spending. The issue of the constitution is irrelevant here, we don't imagine Japan invading anyone, but it does signal an end to the meekness characterizing Japan's defense posture following occupation and close cooperation with the US. Meanwhile the Chinese don't understand why they shouldn't be able to bully their smaller neighbors like Russia. It's a bluff of course, for now, but it's part of a resurgent romanticism about realizing a lost 'golden age', that China should be 'restored' to its rightful position. I think we can expect to see Chinese military exercises in conjunction with hyperbolic 'emergency' statements like these. A bite North Korean with the theatrics. Not quite as crazy of course.

As I mentioned to Raithe use MSCONFIG and disable it I wouldn't use MSconfig or Services.MSC to cure a rootkit. That's like a bandaid on a missing limb.
-
It's gotten quite a bit worse, at least that's my observation after practically all of my favorite free programs now come with a softsonic rootkit that will ressurect itself automatically unless you go through 6 or 5 steps and reboot a bunch of times.

Used speakers and amplifier will probably get you the best bang for your buck when it comes to your output. Consideriations about Hi Fi and Quality sound hasn't changed much in 20 years.

Hi

I have to say that the impact of her majesty's government in European affairs has been somewhat lacking with your decision to not play a major role in the EU. I can understand the reservation though. Are we indulging in nostalgia here, it seems so. Rosbjerg beat me to it.

The Chaser is pretty awesome, I liked The Yellow Sea too. I get the point about emotionality and over acting though, it does seem like some roles, especially the minor ones, are really hamming it, Oldboy or I saw the Devil for instance. They probably don't have the casting capability of a Hollywood studio. I don't think it's a cultural thing per se.

I ran memtest twice, no problems detected while it was running the test, and it gave a no 'memory problems' message. The second time it completed the test and I had another blue screen just after windows loaded. The ram are set by the (I forget the name) profile in the bios automatically, I haven't fiddled with it otherwise. sfc /scannow found corrupt files, could not complete fixing them. The Chicken or the egg then ?. I mean the corrupt files could have been caused by the blue screen and vice versa.

All is not well with the new system. I have had two blue screens of death since I put it together. The event manager gave me this code http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-US;2028504#method3 That's entirely too general to be of any use. Can a mere mortal make any use of the dump files. It killed my Enemy Within Ironman save. That is just.... unforgivable. It does suggest that the PSU is to blame.
