Investors now see Australia as a better place to invest than the USA or Germany.
You would give the economy the death blow by cutting off most of the people who are employed by the government and then sit back and wait for the miracle of Capitalism to take place. It would make an interesting experiment that's for sure.

Cheering the f*** up
Equating profanity with social status and intelligence, as if those two were inseparable. That's a bit shortsighted and snobby, and not true... just mostly true.

Cheering the f*** up
Well, doing it online doesn't work, it just makes any potentially interesting people ignore you. This is a given.

It's not just a blue collar thing. Knowing someone well enough that you feel it's safe to spew general abuse is a sign of a level of trust and confidence.

We use every conceivable four letter word at my workplace, except when speaking to regular people, customers, etc.

Deus Ex 3
The leaked version was only one map, not the whole thing.

Deus Ex 3
I'd like to hear what actual humans think before buying.

I would be buying fur coats if I paid 10-35%. Don't really need fur coats, but I could totally buy them. If I paid somewhere in the middle, say 20%, I would only have to work a few days a week to stay afloat. We start at 48% and the highest bracket is 60- something percent.

Bomb and shooting in Norway
Historically scientific advances follow prolonged warfare, so whether a society is inclusive or not is not as important than whether it has a perceived sense of urgency. It need not be active warfare, take the US and the USSR space race for instance.

Didn't Australia use to have a blatantly racist immigration policy. If you were white you got in, that sort of thing.

What you did today
a small green grasshopper got sucked into one of the intake fans on my computer. It was pretty gruesome. Particularly the cleaning up.

Deus Ex 3
If I can stomach more than 20 mins of it it will already be an improvement. It looks like every other shooter out now, engine wise. Hopefully the augs and alternate approach philosophy will mean that it plays much better.

STEAM!
What if you want to enable a developer console by adding a line to the shortcut target. You get a STEAM error and the game won't start. Is there a known workaround to this ?

To SLI or not to SLI
Or a single card with a dual GPU.

Fallout: NV and its "Fall-outs"
One should make an effort not to automatically dismiss or gang up on the new guy. That's so unattractive in a forum.

Paragraphs, they are so important. Anyone can use them.

Where do you find the game dir of something installed with STEAM, say if you wanted to install skins, mods, etc.

Which Samsung ?
I went with ASUS VE276Q 27". Seemed like a good compromise. For twice what I spent could have had a Dell which was actually pretty nice. A step up in resolution, better image quality, but for the budget this will do.

I suppose they could have easily overwhelmed him, if they were rushing Zerg with no consideration for their own lives and not people. Cowards indeed.

This is hard. It seems reasonably easy to get burned when buying a mid to high level 27". At least the responses for this are positive. Low power consumption, LDC back-light, good picture quality http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1533...ighlight=VE276Q
