They don't attack China because they know the Chinese would retaliate. They don't attack Argentina or Brasil because they are not the ones running the world. Your point?

Now you're just diverting the attention... Who's spouting propaganda now? And thankfully for the western civilization, some people have what it takes to do what's necessary, unlike you. You don't want to fight for your way of life? That's fine, someone else will. You forget that that freedom of choice you seem to take for granted was paid for in blood. And it will undoubtedly take blood to keep. Don't you dare question the way your safety and your so vaunted freedom is granted to you, when you are not willing to fight for it yourself, you coward. Keep closing your eyes to reality. I suspect you'll only open them when they have to pick someone dear to you from the streets with a teaspoon. You are wrong. You can destroy the enemy, in the form of the governments that support terrorism. End of story. And defending oneself is not an extremist ideology, as any lawyer will tell you. Beautiful. Unfortunately, your ideals will not protect you from shrapnel. A reasoning based on the wrong premise that a terrorist is a rational being. Fanaticism isn't rational. They don't seek to "win". They only seek to kill as many of us as they can. And according to you, the thing to do is let them? To quote other poster here "Are you sick or just perverted?"

No.

No, I have a pretty good joystick and I still fly with the keyboard. Trying to use the mouse when maneuvering aircraft is a surefire way to crash, though. Keyboard-only controlled aircraft for teh win!

You keep searching. Meanwhile, people are dying. That kind of weakness is what they prey upon. Only because it hasn't been implemented to its fullest extent. Only because people like you still have reservations. Only because some refuse to acknowledge that this is war, and it's not any country that it's being attacked. It's our culture. Reality and facts disagree with you. The ones he used to murder tens of thousands of kurds.

Well, we know that sometimes Eru posts naked, but man, posting nude with puppies is just wrong.

That's dialectical rubbish. Either you support democracy, freedom, and the western way of life, or you don't. There's no middle ground. If you think SW is suitable as a moral beacon, you need to grow up and look around. Right. It's our fault. We had it coming all along.

No.

I don't have a problem with No-CD patches. I use them myself all the time. But asking for one at the very game's developer boards? Are you THAT dense?

Occam's razor says that there is no conspiracy.

That's not what SP was talking about. You can't get every single one of them without commiting genocide. And that is obviously not acceptable. But you can minimize their operative capacities by shutting down the governments that support them. As long as there is violence there will be terrorism, and violence is a natural tendency of man.

Well, there were people defending the idea of Earth being flat until their webpage got hacked, not long ago. And as for your example, yes. If the confrontation with that person escalated into a situation in which my life was in danger, I wouldn't hesitate to use lethal force. But that's just me. How so? Obviously a nuclear blast will have more power to spread the nuclear waste, but as far as I know, radiation from the blast itself is pretty short-lived, albeit quite lethal.

No. Memory leaks as in the game taking up more and more memory until there is not enough left for itself to run, at which point the game crashes. This seems related to area transitions, as performance degraded significantly with each subsequent transition. @alanschu: Yeah, well. I guess the game runs fine on NASA computers too, but they don't ask for one in the game requirements.

I don't care. They started it. IIRC, there was a fire in one of the reactors. That fire triggered an explosion (or series thereof) which led to the collapse of the structure surrounding the reactor, and the emission to the atmosphere of large amounts of radiactive material. For all intents and purposes, it was a dirty bomb, albeit a very large one.

I know that wearing a uniform makes you a more likely target. It doesn't make it any more acceptable, though. That was my only point.

And I can contact Starfleet with it, too!

Err... not to be raining on your party or anything, but the biggest issue people seemed to have with the game was its poor performance. And since that was caused by the game's use of an unpolished and poorly optimized early build of the Source engine, the patch doesn't fix it. Lots of people (myself included) reported the game suffering memory leaks, too.

I thought dirty bombs could spread nuclear waste for tens of kilometres. And I also thought than a few hours in exposure was enough to ensure that your grandchildren will glow in the dark, as was the case with Chernobyl workers. But then again, I've been known to be wrong before.

Yes, I know the "logic" behind that reasoning. But it's still based on the wrong premise that terrorism is an acceptable tool under certain circumstances. Sorry, but it's not. "When you attack ordinary citizens, it's just cruel" - Gold. Right, because when you attack soldiers, it's just business.

I find that disturbing. Even though you probably didn't mean to imply so, that sounded like terrorist attacks on military targets are somewhat more acceptable. They aren't. Soldiers and police are people too, and they don't join those organizations to get blown to pieces in cowardly attacks by raving madmen. It's not in their contract.

Err... do a quick search of MCA's threads and promptly delete that post. "

Silent Storm.

Huh? Have you forgotten about the "Designer Ramblings" threads? MCA himself made a few of those.
