Yeah, that wasn't the right thread.

That had been the case untill the enlargement phases led to a revision of the role of the Parliament.

- but lead scientist says the loss of ice caps and glaciers around the world remains a serious concern

Hard to get exited about all of this, Obama is going to win again. There haven't been but a handful of one term presidents.

Bought a pair of Bose earplugs as my regular Sennheisers I use when out and about developed a crack in the jack. Really annoying. The best thing you can say about them is that they are almost as good as the real thing. The low frequencies suffer as you would expect from the lack of hardware. You need a big speaker for decent bass sounds, and it's not really compensated for by being delivered straight into your eardrums. They are very comfortable to wear, you tend to forget you even have them on, but the second comming in audio experience they are not.

I didn't find that at all memorable.

Looks pretty ugly doesn't it. I mean the modeling and such.

It's a good idea, but it's let down technically.

A pervet member of Hells Angels ?

A margin of error of around 10-20% translates to quite a bit you know.

I see what you did there. Helle is so not hot, and this is not something as crude as simple ageism talking, but let me propose the prom queen of the 2011 election Johanne Schmidt Nielsen from the so far off to the left we will never get anything passed party.

It's a bit like ragging on DA2 and forgetting that it was meant to be stupid and banal from the inception.

Join the army, or do some mercenary work in Africa. It will put some hair on your chest.

You only know that because of past reference not because it's a better system. I happen to know that a carton of milk weighs around 1 kg, so I know what I'm dealing with. A foot is what.. it's not even the length of a foot, or the average length of a stride. That would make sense. You might as well call it an 'elbow' for all the real world inference you can get from it.

Well bear in mind that Mass Effect 2 is essentially a shooter with some minor RPG elements. Don't expect the world from those, enjoy it for what it is.

Drive : doushebag hipster 80s retro crap. Fell asleep in the middle.

They think up an accurate scoring system for rating a player's market value, and that's the plot. Seriously. That's it. Spoiler tags are gone, but you'll live.

The game breaks if you research a base boss too early, don't remember the specifics. Different issue in UFO and terror from the deep.

Anyone know what the status of the new Me Hehe, time to cut down on research expenses. Now I feel tempted to play this game again, although I've started new games before, I tend to drift towards X-Com 3. Maybe it is time to visit Cydonia again and visit some righteous retribution on the master brain

Ohh allright, I have been playing devil's advocate, but I couldn't really commit.

Strange choice of words. I don't think policing is supposed to entail acts of valor. On the flip side of the scale would it have been better if she had challenged him to a boxing match.. pistols at dawn ?

Theres a lot of cameras, a small crowd gathering. The police probably felt outnumbered and that they had to get it overwith quickly, even if that meant taking him down the hard way. They failed to warn him though, although with all the yelling I'm not sure the message would have gotten through. It's kind of redundant talking about 'resisting arrest'. I mean isn't that the point of a sit in. You get pictures of the police being overzealous in clearing whatever it is you are occupying and your cause is advanced. What matters is how the police handle people who resist non violently.

Damn hippies

Big surprise, no one gives a rat's ass about Australian politics. America, however, everybody's got an opinion. Learn to live with it.

Talked to my mother for about 30 mins, she doesn't believe in phones so things tend to pile up and then she will walk over and tell me about it. Apparently the CERND supercollider is the key to the gates of hell mentioned in revelations. I told her it was a good idea for a movie, maybe with Johnny Depp as the scientist who commits hybris and bad things result. Also feminist and gay rights activism within the protestant church has now reached intolerable levels.
