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.

I wasn't aware Germany was known for it's quisine. I've driven through the country to get to Holland and Italy and didn't manage to find a satisfying meal anywhere. Maybe it's just the universal crappy standards of places catering to autobahn customers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRTlT3DEydU I usually like anything with Russel Crowe in the lead, but this just seems redonculous.

If ATI's API turns out to be a landslide that would help undermine the windows stranglehold, if games nolonger needed directx. ... One can dream.

Danish I think, no clue really, we never did the whole family tree thing.

Is it possible your broken English is getting worse. If you took 5 minutes to get your ducks in a row at least everyone wold be able to work out what you were saying. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subject%E2%80%93verb%E2%80%93object

What's the point of a mouse pad though. The lazer ones don't need a smooth surface.

Nice and roomy inside. 3 optional fans and one fan speed/voltage selector for all of them. The only flashy part about it is the blue power LED. I like it fine.

They are doing a Hollywood remake. http://screenrant.com/oldboy-2013-release-date/ Subtitles are awesome people. Get with the times, or at least try to create something rather than regurgitate.

Getting the mounting rail to fit and the fan to clip on without being able to see what one was doing on that Mugen was a pain. I cut myself twice. After spending ages trying to get the themal grease completely smooth and even on the back of the die, I'm sure it was all mushed and scraped when I finally got the cooler on there. Temps are fine though.

Ender's Game. I don't know if it's true, but I remember being told that it was written by and 13 year old and that it was amazing. I think it looks exactly like something written by a 13 year old. You get tired of Ender as the axis of everything after 5 minutes by the way. Harrison Ford mostly just does his trademark smirk, then a predictable twist and were done. I'm glad it's not a book in a series.

Xcom - enemy within, on impossible Ironman. My chances of making it past the third council report are miniscule, but I'm going down fighting.

My neighbor is having sex with his girlfriend and she is extremely vocal. They have the music pumping and everything but it's not doing a thing to mask it. I can't stand listening to it. Going out to hit a bar. Thin walls, the bane of trying to get work done.

It's Ubisoft, everything will be samey and boring. Remeber the company motto, lather, rinse, repeat, repeat, repeat.
