And yet we are quite happy to recieve those who could have the resources to actually improve their own country, India exports both computer geniouses and cab drivers, it's known as the 'brain drain'. If this were about sustainability that would be as big a crime as running across the border. Or do we only care what immigration does to the wealthy western reciever countries.

Clicking is very bad if it's comming from the HD, the sound of the pickup scratching the crap out of your drive. Usually the dying sounds, lope thats not the case.

In that case they won't be Mexicans, they will be Americans.

I guess i'm more of an individualist than I thought. I can't seem to get myself excited about illegal immigration or the least bit mad on behalf of my country. There is an obvious distinction between breaching the social contract, and acting in the interest of bettering the lives of yourself and your children, and lets face it, it's not that you don't want immigration, it's that you don't want the ones that aren't rich already. There are plenty of greencards written out for highly skilled workers. There has to be some kind of Irony in the fact that in 50 years, when Latinos will be the largest demographic in the US, it will be the children of those same immigrants who will be keeping out those huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

America owes its success to people comming there in the hope of bettering their situation. If you want the borders harder to cross, make them harder to cross, but you can't fault people for exploiting opportunity and trying to make everything they can of their lives. This reaction to unwanted immigration tends to lead toward some rather unsavory extremes, it already has in Europe, where the extreme right are feeding on this resentment and have created a permanent political force.

Sat around some, went to get a replacement cable for my headphones, which they didn't have, the part doesen't exist anywhere aparently. Watched American Gangster, the Battlestar Gallactica spetial ;Razor, bought Italian sausages and ditto bread, ate them.

They will be a dead man by morning mein Keizer.

Assassinations work sometimes, that why they keep trying. Musharaf 3 times, Bhutto 2. Thats not necessarily the fault of the securiity arrangements, and it's bound to ve worse when you are trying to get elected and out shaking hands every day.

I've been searching for some hard facts about the poltical spectrum in Pakistan, and the Isamic parties, all I can find are opinion pieces, you see, i'm not at all convinced that the Islamic parties have the strenght to overthrow the government, or somehow land on top in the aftermath of a civil war.

I was kinda strapped for choices as well, the only ones I could stand looking at for a whole game were the male gray dwarf and the asian looking female human. Don't get me started on the drow.

Has any user ever, in the history of computing, read one of those things they were agreeing to ?

Why do people dislike HotU ? The best adon there was I think. Not amazing, but neither was anything else to come out for NWN.

Turn off automatic updates. Don't upgrade unless you are ready for a reboot. Or alternatively, break the circle of evil and migrate to another OS. It has to start somewhere. Anywho, the question is pretty academic for me, I have never payed for an OS in my life, my updates consist of installing newer packaged releases that include more service packs.

I see, well, water under the bridge. Anyway they deserve to burn in hell for releasing it without multi.

The unreal series is a multiplayer phenomenon. Unreal 2 'the awakening' was a complete turkey, I know, I had the misfortune of misreading the label and getting that instead of UT2. Unreal had multiplayer support. I thought at least the turkey would too, no such luck.

Don't think anyone cares that much about it much anymore.

Liar

I haven't really gotten into UT3, I might well when I get a new computer and can run it over LAN, the new game modes are more confusing than interesting, as always, but I spent more time with the UT franchise than any other shooter. Maybe it's just dedicated multiplayer shooters that are in decline. Whatever the reason Unreal has never been able to deliver an acceptable single player experience.

The UT engines used to be the best there was for scalability as well, not anymore, but it's still pretty slick code. The time it took to make it actually shows.

I think all the books still lend themselves a lot better to animation than feature films. I like The Fellowship of the Ring though, the rest of the films, not so much. I have issues with how a lot of things look, like Gimli, he doesen't look very tough beneath all that rubber foam makup. The physics look wrong. Sticking hair on a guys feet and shrinking him doesen't make him look like a hobbit, neither do elves with 5 o clock shadows inspire that much. Although the goblins in Moria were spot on to me, Frodo was ok as well somehow, maybe because of the baby looks of Elijah Wood. They did an animation of LotR already, which is not worth watching 2 seconds of, with the exception of the design of the Nazgul, quite awesome.

Yes well, or you can be reformed lutheran and enterpret all you like, you can even be a priest on the public payroll and come right out and say you don't believe in god, not without some uproar though.

I'm just finishing watching season 1, i'm on episode 21 or something like that. It's ok I guess, but I don't see the big fuss honestly. Better than most TV shows, but not amazing.

What is hanuka anyway. Is that the deal where they ligth the candles, have a shindig, and sit around waiting for the second comming of the lord ?

Generally I agree, didn't like the Batman movies though.

I think they kinda salvaged the Batman franchise with whatshisface from American Psycho. Best film of the series, not that thats saying a lot, but still. Whats missing from the superman script is nunchos, with the superman logo on them, he should have a fast talking black sidekick as well. I'm thinking 60 cent. Theres gotta be a rapper.
