Gorgon

By that time the gear will be obsolete, quite a lot of the opposition requires +5 or better to hit. You could cheat your way with Gatekeeper, but that's a slippery slope, I could never get myself to stop and I would invariably ruin the challenge for myself.

16 gigs. Does GoG send you a CD. My internet is pretty choppy while I wait for an upgrade to kick in.

Let me know if it's at all playable with a 2 ghz processor.

I don't see it anywhere

Why in gods name does steam not download a new version of a game and then apply it instead of making the game unavailable while you wait for the download to complete, thus creating massive demands on available servers every time a popular game gets an update. Is there not a setting somewhere that can turn autoupdate off for your games ? At least i managed to find one that turns the popups off.

I've said as much before, but haven't the US been trying to kill him for a decade already. Spy drones, air strikes etc. Yes, they went in and eliminated him, that much seems obvious, and why then did they pretend it's something else. They couldn't put him on trial, a closed trial would have no legitimacy at all given their relationship, and an open trial would be a platform for him to preach from, and besides the US doesn't subscribe to the notion of international courts. If the official stance had been, 'yes we killed him, it was a military operation in an ongoing conflict'. I don't think there would have been much in the way of outcry at all. If we can't class him as an 'enemy combatant', then who, honestly.

the whole Machine shtick is lame, but the show has it's moments. I suppose they will just go back to being an X files show now that the whole war of the worlds thing is over.

Odds are that uranium dust is a whole lot worse for you. Banning dum dums and white phosphorous is stupid, banning cluster bombs certainly is not. Weapons shouldn't be banned because they are good at killing and maiming, that's what they are supposed to do, but a continuous health risk for the civilian population long after the weapon has been deployed, that's something else.

I suppose I could OC my way to 2,66. Or maybe it's time to buy a new box and quit trying to upgrade. On the other sys rq this high are probably a one off, for now anyway.

Guy on the train today had a swastika tatooed on his cheek. Looked around at everyone ominously. It's one way of always being able to secure plently of legroom I suppose. Something about him made me think he was more mental case than Nazi though.

Marvel Thor was always a stupid idea.

Norse Mythology is right up there on the cool scale, but I don't think it will make a good movie. A tradional animation on the other hand... There are a couple of those aleady but I would sure like to see one with a Peter Jacksonish budget.

A completely pointless exercise, ww1. And after they actually thought that man had learned a profound lesson and would never do anything like that again. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the populations on either side actually had gone past their breaking point for what they would endure and rebelled, as was in the cards had the war gone on much longer. That might well have spared us ww2. Just a thought.

Is that another way of saying that people start out naively thinking they can effect social change and inevitably end up old and shriveled in mind and spirit resigned to stop trying to change anything.

It's easy enough to be critical, the hard question is, who would you prefer be in power.

I can understand how they would be able to disrupt cellular services but how the hell did they disrupt electrical services? Id love to see what they had inside those stealh choppers. :drool: a bribe at the local electrical company perhaps.

Boobs never hurt anyone.

Hezbollah have repeatedly stated that they only go after military targets. It's bull, given the kind of missiles they used against Israel, but the distinction genuinely seemed to matter to them. I'm thinking that kind of distinction might be in the ascendancy in order to appeal to a wider base.

Your academic career is starting to affect serious environmental damage to your language.

We want those things in our games precisely because they are taboo and exciting. And yes, an angel dies every time a customer porks a hooker. (honestly who cares, prostitution is a fact of life, just concentrate on the worst attendant problems, like human trafficking and drug addiction)

I used to get those too. I guess nowadays I don't care enough about anything to get stressed or get stuck into fight/flight mode. This is not a good thing by the way.

I makes perfect sense to me. I mean we are talking about depictions of sex being censored because they are thought to have negative effects on children, hence something gets to be for adults only. 16/18/21+. The science suggests that sex and violence absorbed through entertainment media is not the cause for either crime or mental illness in adulthood, the damaging effect is very hard to pinpoint except as a sort of poorly defined parental idea that it's the 'right thing' to do.

I'm not so sure about the 'he resisted' part. What would we do with him alive, the Hague ?. Also there was the time pressure, making it more likely that they offed him to avoid having to drag him out of there. Well, that and the fact that they have been trying for 10 years to kill him any way they could. I don't know either way, just sayin' it's a bit convenient.

The UN security council passed a resolution high fiveing the raid and the death of Osama, Unanimously... That never happens.

The timing is entirely off for this to be a hoax. It's like faking the 10th moon landing. Why even bother.
