  1. Or something able to survive the journey and the solar radiation exposure. I'm thinking robots., that's going to be viable before Ion drive engines.
  2. It's not easy shoehorning Jedi lore into actual human behavior.
  3. Demonstrations like this are part of the democratic process, it generally works best if the police are good at handling them, that includes methods used to disperse crowds, respecting civil rights and the freedom of the press etc. Water cannons are a good compromise, they get the job done, are entertaining to watch, so the demonstrators get coverage, and they don't hurt anyone beyond a few bruises.
  4. Regional pricing is illegal within the EU and it is sortof cheating. You distort the actual value of your product because you have discovered certain markets where you can get away with charging more. This is what leads to paralel imports in retail, and it's why those high value brands who employ it only sell through 'authorised dealers', basically outlets who agreed to put up with a whole lot of restrictive bollocks because it gives them access to the product.
  5. Is Alpha Protocol worth 10 E. Is there anything that's a 'must get'
  6. That's EU single market legislation right.. Doesn't affect the UK.
  7. The Chinese housing crisis isn't a real one. They spent enormous sums building infrastructure and housing so they could show good growth numbers to the central committee. Some of these projects in remote rural areas. So sooner or later it dawns on everybody that the projections are mostly wishful thinking and housing prices drop. This was always going to happen, so it's not a 'new' crisis.
  8. It's a spoof. Gotta be. The Cristian nutters aren't THAT crazy.
  9. Is it wrong to laugh your ass off while someone is obviously going through a very emotional moment...
  10. ohh good. Now I don't feel so bad about having bushwhaked so many of their patrols and prison transports.
  11. Nothing wrong with being self reliant and believing you can do whatever you set your mind to. It fails as a solution to the systemic issues with the financial system though. They migth be bums but that doesn't mean they are wrong about this.
  12. Funny stuff. Go read.
  13. Applying weapon enchantment effects twice as fast and in conjunction with backstab.
  14. Doesn't work. It either clears both hands or swaps the weapon back to the right hand.
  15. Ohh I don't know. Just being obnoxious and loud worked wonders for the Tea Party. It makes your movement 'organic' and 'grass roots'
  16. That's ruined by selective a spell as left hand. I had it working completely. I could clear everything and still have the dual daggers come back.
  17. Does anyone know how to get dual wielding to work. I got it working by accident by hot grouping stackable daggers (must be same type, same effects and it must be daggers and there must be more than two in the stack) I could switch back between bows and spells and the daggers would still be there. Now I can't repeat it though. Yeah I'm also getting tired of the game. A break is in order I think.
  18. The problem was that a lot of financial institutions and companies accepted a very high level of risk well knowing that they were too big to fail. They were entirely unable to make judgements about the big picture and with their high level of access their self interest, which was assumed to be to the benifit of us all, resulted in the opposite. That's a valid complaint, escpecially given the scope of the crisis. We can't have a system balancing on a knife's edge in order to maximize profits. We can't change that either without a major rethinking of our financial system.
  19. Spells man, learn some spells, they are fun to use. Bows are best for bushwhacking, backstab is hard but rewarding to pull off. Just hacking at things with swords, not as much fun I think.
  20. Well they seemed to lose the battle for public opinion. I agree though that the bailouts were a slap in the face to the regular 'working class', if there is such a thing, and that ultimately the entire financial system could be changed for the better if it wasn't stacked against them. That would require a level of momentum that the movement was never going to achieve though. Candidates for office, an actual political programme to push forth. It illustrates well the difference between simply complaining, and being part of the solution.
  21. I've got 117 and I fell asleep with the game running. I'll have reached my Skyrim limit by the time any DLCs show up though. Not a critism of the game, there is just too much to do, and you don't feel like being lv 1 again having to re aquire all you skills.
  22. Spilled drinks is the best you lot can do. I'll say it again MY BIKE WAS STOLEN. you could buy half a wine cellar with what it cost. Well, probably not.
  23. Good gears are expensive and they don't come with cheap bikes. I get a lot of enjoyment out of overtaking younger, fitter people with a burst of speed.
  24. No the moral of the story is 'never buy anything nice'. My bike got stolen yesterday. No insurance, it happens with such regularity that I would only have gotten a mere pittance for my claim anyway.
  25. Ohh great, so those useless ****tards broke my game for no good reason.
