I don't get it. The pic ?

Well he looked good doing it.

Oh my god is that Helle Thorning. Mandela died at a ripe old age having succeeded in his struggle to liberate his country. People aren't there because they are sad, they are there to pay tribute. Some people are also narcissists who wouldn't turn down a chance for a pic with Obama and Cameron no matter the circumstances.

Pulling out doesn't prevent pregnancy you idiots. This is like the first thing they teach you in sex ed.

Cleaning my appartment becomes a form of self flagellation I've noticed. Something I do when I've been 'bad'.

Nelson Mandela did a lot of good work, don't get me wrong. But I think I'm on track to do something even bigger. I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever. LMAO

All this made me think about a discussion I had with a coworker about textures being done by math rather than huge source image files with the need to accommodate a wide range of resolutions. With games pushing 50 gb now because of huge texture packs I suspect this area will see more development. It's not that far fetched for uniform surfaces and could mean much wider variation for tile-sets. -
No it shouldn't, adoption is more an admission that you don't have the resources and stability to care for a child though. What 'I' want isn't, or shouldn't, be foremost among the considerations of capable parents, excepting the biological opt out that women have.

I think long term it might be better for the stability of families if men don't have the option to renounce their children. I mean the kids wouldn't be 'fatherless' except legally. The kids would just grow up knowing he abandoned them, and what if he changed his mind. Having a good relationship with one's children usually becomes a point of prestige later in life.

Didn't have the patience to sit through the ads. They spawn again after the clip.

I believe the logic was that Germany would grow weaker realative to Britain and France. The British Empire might have been too large. Constantly darting to avoid one disaster or the other, but doubless a miitary asset. Imagine Britain fighting WW2 without its indiginous colonial forces. Germany didn't have the fleet to support the african colonies it did have. Cameroon, others ?. Lost in the WW1 peace treaty.

95 is more that I expect to rack up

Excercise is boring though and it's getting too cold to bike everywhere like I usually do.

I was actually going to post him but I couldn't remember his name, true story.

Danish Wikipedia is such a joke. Dunno why google always points you there.

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.
