I heard good things about Dark Soul and it was only a fiver. I really gotta stop buying crap just because it's cheap though. I got Divinity 2 which lasted all of 4 minutes, making it by far one of my most expensive per-minute purchases. I can't count the times this has happened during the holyday sales. Now they just sit there taking up space in my games list and reminding me that I'm a sucker. I just wish I could remove them from my account.

I imagine tripping balls would help quite a lot with the enjoyment.

I never got that show

I hope it means adult without meaning boobs. Those would be two pixels wide anyway, what's the point of Witcher porn for Eternity anyway.

I want to be able to edit, write notes and juggle several PDF files, I'm talking 5 or 6 open at the same time in different screen locations on two or more monitors. It would also be nice if the document remembered its zoom level and what screen it was last displayed on. Is there anything like that out there. Arcobat is garbage.

It's equally about political stability. Where is the profit if it is being eaten away fighting rebels. The point has been made that the chief need for colonies was getting in and establishing a presence before your rivals. Initially it was commonly left to private initiative, charter companies from the small ones founding the first colonies in Massachusetts to the V.O.C. which had a larger army than most countries.

Case in point the Americas cost so much you had to levy taxes which made them rebel. In the end analysis not worth the effort for any other reason than to deny it to the other powers.

So is the new Hobbit as bad as the last. Was considering dragging my mom to see it to preempt the usual Christmas guilt trip.

It's something to be proud of, to a point. The British Empire had refined the client state model to such a degree that it made more sense to have capable administrators who could rule by proxy and with the authority of the Empire than menial labor walking around in chains. Systematic exploitation was still the order of the day, but there was no one industry completely dependent on slave labor like there was in the US.

i dunno. he was clearly vain and elaborated the truth when it suited him. but he wasn't incompetent despite the outcome of market garden. he beat rommel by waiting for 3 '-4 times material superiority. not to memtion he was fighting italians whose hearts werent in it.

Isn't there some truth to the idea that US forces prefer more tactical speed when securing a building. Also I would surmise that it depended on whether the job was to secure one farmhouse or 100 bungalows.

Battery life as stated on the box is always a best case scenario. Large screen = low battery even with light usage. Get something that says 8 hrs on the box and it might last 4. In my experience it's really that bad, but it's been 5 years since I bought a laptop and it's normal for the battery to crap out on you over time leaving you with even less. 1-2 hrs tops.

So I take it windfarm+spotted whatever = splat. They should put them on city roofs. Sort out the pigeon problem.

Because procrastination is my first response to everything.

I have one, I just loathe electronic or any other kind of paperwork. I didn't like the idea that I was forced to use PayPal, so I never pledged. Also, they take up too much screen real estate. Maybe squeeze them in side by side or something.

It's kinda funny that he chose to show up on the day instead of faking illness or something. The moral of the story, don't lie that much on your resume. @Gifd meant Oby's.

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.
