Wars are won by the side who wants it the most. This has certainly been the case in the many asymmetrical military interventions by western powers. In the case of two major powers battling it out, you kill the civilian population to destroy their industrial base until they can no longer support military operations. The political environment will often dictate what is possible though, so the reaction of other powers is the great unknown.

So I had to do the bars. My script blocker killed my attempt to post though. I got 7. I knew some of them didn't look like they should be adjacant but I coudn't figure out where to substitute. I bet I could do better if I had used longer than my patience allowed.

Yeah now that I look at them the last two bars don't look right.

I thought that was the test. It's the answer. Good. I'm not colour blind then.

I sortof have the reverse problem. I'm stuck in a crummy job because I like the people there. It's comfortable and familiar which eats away at my ambition.

In Denmark you take a hunting license. You actually learn to track as well as gun safety and the whole thing finishes with a marksmanship test. If you don't score well enough that's an automatic fail. It's a good way to weed out those who just want a toy.

In case anyone was wondering, it's wrong both to give a 5 year old a gun of any kind and to make 'my first rifle' trainer guns with less kick for children.

Lady lays it on a bit thick doesn't she.

hahaha.. I wonder what kind of courses they offer

Making overclocking harder, well riskier anyway, will also make it easier to get away with selling more or less the same chip but either over or underclocked to meet different price ranges.

Probably motivated by some nefarious market mechanism. I don't imagine there is much board manufacurers would not agree to if the alternative was to be cut off from Intel processors.

What's different this time. It's usually minor architecture stuff that doesn't ammount to much of anything, blame the lack of a serious competitor.

Carters fault that. He tried to instate it and lacked the patience to see it through.

I don't think they even understand how perverse that sounds to the rest of the world.

I don't know what anything is called east of Poland.

I just thought I would spruce things up a bit by posting some non nationalist crakpot Russian pictures. The decay is quite beautiful. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-22246328 How many shots do you recognise from movies and the STALKER series.

The meaning of life ?

If keeping it where it is is the same boring formula applied to every IP then I'm happy to be where it was. but hey, you could say the same about Hollywood. The big money makers are rarely ever inventive.

I don't mind the rain. Wind, that will make me not want to go anywhere. I went for tea and cookies with the people who found my wallet on the street. Turns out the wife kinda sortof knew my dad. Two million people supposedly live here, but it really is a small town sometimes. We talked about hippes and the Russian mob.

NWN1 and 2 games were really really bad at ruining stealth classes with cutscenes. If it's a no name orc captain, fine you can backstab him or disable traps in his vicinity. If he has lines of any kind they trigger with proximity and you are screwed.

Is everyone using a tablet for comics ?

Terrorism aims to undermine government by demonstating that it can't protect its citizens, in theory the poplulation then become so disatisfied that they turn on their leaders and create a situation ripe for radical change. I don't know that it has ever worked in reality, it seems more like desperation born of impotence. In any case it's not hard to understand how necessary it was to roll out all available resources, especially since it was going to come out that the FBI dropped the ball again.

Well there are pictures of them near the bomb site and they killed a cop. It would be one hell of a case of mistaken identity if that was all it was. Who benifits from a conspiracy here ?

Sup Pete, long time no see.

I'm Sure Spetnaz go to the toilet in two by two cover formation, flashbangs first.
