    Money

    Coke and hookers ? A transmorgriffing machine that could turn 50000 into 500000.
  2. Going after the Taliban in Afghanistan is worth the effort, I don't understand the opposition this time. What is the alternative, bombing, doing nothing ? Although we seem to have allied ourselves with some pretty corrupt entities again. No wonder when the few viable cash crops are illegal.
  3. The skill points are unbalanced, I think everyone agrees and Special points should not be purchasable every level. FO2 had some pretty funny dialogue options if you had 1 int. Personally I'm not a fan of point buy systems at all. I usually cheat so I can get my character the way I want. With FO3 there was just no need, it was mind numbingly easy once you had hamstered enough gear and enough levels.
  4. Iphone wants a cut of the subscription, which is why it was so late in getting to Europe. Very few companies were interested with the cell market already extremely competitive with low profit margins. People would just order overseas and hack the firmware to accept their existing subscription.
  5. The game looks fun, though. So, because of the meteorite peril, they were given enemas ?
  6. The law is named for Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who introduced it in a 1965 paper.[8][9][10] It has since been used in the semiconductor industry to guide long term planning and to set targets for research and development. The self fulfilling element here is interesting. Because the law exists, RD departments revise their goals so as not to appear 'behind'.
  7. I recall a certain spamming raid. Funny if you happened to be us, not so much if you were an iplay regular.
  8. It's a good game, gets really silly at the end though.
  9. Anywho sailing around the world in a dingy would be impressive, if there was a reason to do it. There isn't.
  10. My dad once ate fresh monkey brains, this was in ye olde days before anyone had heard of AIDS and trans species transmitted diseases. I dunno, I can think of healthier tests of manhood.
  11. Well you could make that claim if there was an agreement between ants and spiders, since there isn't the spider has merely seen an opportunity and is pursuing it for the betterment of the whole system, after all lax security needs to be pointed out before it can be improved.
  12. Depends on whether you can 'own' the tree, if you can ownership clearly belongs to the ants who guard it and take care of it, whereas the spider is merely a parasite to the system, taking advantage of lax security in the higher leaves. If ants are anything they are Communists, surely. Pyramidal structure, no one comes before the collective, no individualism etc.
  13. DWWAAAAAAAA! I mean.... AHHHHHHH! The damn thing even smiles. AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW what, it's adorable
  14. I'm currently pretending to work, which is a lot more stressful than actually working.
  15. I get what you are saying, but on the other hand it's not like the rest of the Muslim world constantly has to apologize for not being crazy.
  16. I don't particularly care about any of the characters, the main guy in particular seems to sport a perpetually wounded look that just pisses me off, I feel like smacking him in the face to shake him out of it. yeah so he used to be a drunk, buu-huu.
  17. In the 60 and 70 it was something you smoked, now it's more sort of an all purpose noun.
  18. You lot just catch more **** because of your superpower status, which by the way would have been the case regardless of who had that position. That should read "You lot just catch more **** because of your superpower status, which by the way would have been the case for whoever happens to have that position."

  20. The report is based on a questionnaire sent to partner organizations of Reporters Without Borders (14 freedom of expression groups in five continents) and its 130 correspondents around the world, as well as to journalists, researchers, jurists and human rights activists. Just to be clear they are professionals with an interest in freedom of speech, not some random group of people with an axe to grind. I imagine the main problems in the US have to do with national security issues, I recall several high profile cases where journalists were forced to reveal sources, and a general fear of lawsuits among the big publishing houses, although this is hardly unique to the US. Controversial investigative journalism has had a hard time this last decade as news outlets are pretty much only about making money and not so much any more about fulfilling their part in the system of checks and balances.
  21. I like how everyone blacking out for 2 minutes somehow equates with fires, explosions and fallen power lines everywhere. Sure, everyone who happened to be driving would be in trouble, but it would hardly be the vision of the apocalypse the show proposed. Passenger planes already in their flight lanes would be on auto pilot.
  22. It's going to sail into those contested Taliban areas in Afghanistan.
  23. In the food industry they just work their magic and turn it into sausages or animal feed.
  24. Too bad you can't build ships out of cement, imagine an aircraft carrier made out of bits of the Berlin wall.
