Doing a PhD
A PHD is creating something new, adding to the body of knowledge in your field, so it's nolonger enough to cross all the 't's and dot all the 'i's you need to create a good paper. You have to look for virgin ground which, depending on your field, could be quite hard.

In a bizarre switch everyone EXCEPT the government goes mad
I set out to prove that you were probably being alarmist, I mean what do singular criminal acts mean to the big picture, the statistics. Not a thing. However. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11...Africa-U-S.html Now granted, this is the daily mail, a tabloid not to be taken too seriously, but I assume they got their figures from somewhere. Also it doesn't specify how old the data is. Many similar search results seem to build on figures from 2001, and how relevant is that.

I don't know. I think 11 years old is a little early to give up on kids. They obviously need to be watched closely for the forseeable future, but institutionalisation at that age... It won't solve a thing, and will cost an arm and a leg.

My impressions as well. Weak setting, didn't care if everyone in fereldon lived or died. Did they come up with this themselves or is it from some book or old game. Either way it was holding the game back.

What you did today
Don't say blind rage never accomplished anything. I discovered today that a set of very expensive Creative headphones I bought a week ago had developed a rattling noise whenever it hit the low base sounds. As I sat there maddened by the sound and unable to find the bill of sale, I took them off my head and smashed them repeatedly and violently on the floor like a displaying gorilla. The rattle is gone. Some small bit of metal fell out, appears to be part of the support mechanism. I was able to keep the right speaker from popping out of it's plastic holder by bending a piece of metal. I can't adjust the headset anymore, but ortunately I seemed to have locked them into a comfortable position.

Ubisoft DRM confirmed to boot you from your singleplayer game when the net drops out
I just saw on the news that the Danish government is considering instigating a piracy tax, they are going to call it something cutting edge like 'internet multimedia' tax or some such, much like the one already in place on digital storage media in most countries. If they do I'll start downloading immediately, I mean I would be losing out if I didn't and no one could say I didn't pay for it.

They call those pump action don't they. A sawed off is literally a hunting shot rifle with the barrel cut down.

Well a sawn off only has two helpings of buckshot. Once they are off both you and the imaginary assailant are acutely aware that you are out.

Don't know much about the gun other than that it had an excellent crit range in Fallout 2.

Ubisoft DRM confirmed to boot you from your singleplayer game when the net drops out
It's nr.1 in the playstation charts. Does it require always online for consoles ?. If it doesn't I was just wondering what they are going to do about emulators. PCs continue to get faster, but consoles wont untill the current cycle is over, say another 4 years.

As an aside, I also discovered that I shop in the same supermarket as Ravel Puzzlewell.

Well sometimes the MYSTARRY is better than a painstaking tally of an NPCs motivations. I just replayed PST on my crappy laptop and aside from kicking Morte immediately and never looking back I have to say the characters stand the test of time. Delving into their back stories is not mandatory, but interesting enought to pursue for its own sake, thats the way it should be.

Nothing confirms like the fact that Volo disagrees.

The Uwe Boll approach to fantasy character writing. Somehow it fits DA well. Why the over the top gesturing in the engine. Just because you can have the character wave his fists menacingly and move his head dramatically to every full stop in his speech doesn't mean its a good idea to do have him do so.

LOST season six
Yeah I'm getting less and less i interested in how this all works out. Dipped in brown water and you become 'evil'. What a load of nonsense.

They don't make demos anymore. Every wonder why. Also, you apparently have douces for friends, what does that say about you. Or maybe you were just making sure you ended up on the right side of the fence. Mmm huh...

Heh, remember back when STEAM was considered the absolute worst DRM had to offer. The good old days.

Game Computer - Sudden "Lock Up" problem :/
Yeah, I've been cleaning out the inside of my case with a mains vacume cleaner for as long as I've had computers. I'm careful not to touch anything with the business end, other than that I don't worry about it. I've never had a board or component short out.
