  1. Why is it called "bingo", again?
  2. Then either his is failing to plan, or his plan is working perfectly. ^_^
  3. And, *NEWS FLASH* there is no dogma that insists all reports have to be in the same format; one might just as easily draw a picture (if that works) or use ANY topics ... just so long as it has something interesting to say. For example, one could very easily add a topic for "religiosity" for you, Mr Moth (off the scale, I'd wager). (I bet Eldar added "didactic" just to have a specific topic for me, for instance. I'm onto you, Eldar. )
  4. Listen, braindead, who asked for your opinion, anyway? If someone, who isn't an expert in programming, wants to communicate with a programmer, then a modelling language is arguably the best method of communication. Don't display your ignorance as bias. Speaking to a programmer one need to talk in conceptual terms, which is the point of UML. Learning a programming language is quite possibly the worst approach, as the non-programmer may just get completely confused with advanced programming techniques mentioned by the geeks, AND fail to be able to convey what is required because of the same lack of total language comprehension. In short the artiste will not be able to describe the forest (any better than before he started learning a new language), for the trees (programming language particulars).
  5. Make sure he learns to play sport as well. That way, he won't grow up to be a feckless, irradiated geek, but a well-rounded renaissance man!
  6. Takes attention whore to a new level, really.
  7. Happens all the time at the top. During the oil embargo of 1973, The Nixon administration drew up plans to take control of Saudi and Kuwaiti oilfields by force. Oh and these plans were detailed beyond the level of simple 'contingencies'. They were talked out of it. Why you (or anyone) would find such a thing "silly" is beyond me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So now you are making value judgements on how the US should plan contingencies? So what if they have "Plan ZZB" which is to nuke the entire Western Hemisphere and emigrate to Australia? Does the existence of a plan mean that there is will to carry it out? During the Cold War, the US operated in a state of emergency and on the principle of Mutually Assured Destruction. If the President wanted to bomb al Jezeera, we wouldn't be hearing about a memo, we'd be seeing a smoking crater. In Iraq? No. How many? I can think of 3. One is Iraqi government run. One is US coalition run, and the third is Moqtada Sadr's newspaper --which the US tried to shut down. Go ahead and list us the other ones, kumquatq. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually the BBC reported there are hundreds. Certainly there are more than three. Perhaps you should check your figures before mouthing off opinions.
  8. Al Jezeera is regarded as the primary mouth piece of al Qaeda, as in there are many members suspected to be common to both. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is utterly western propaganda bullsh*t brought to you by the all mighty coalition of the willing....[1] Al Jazeera is nothing but Fox News on the other side of the line. [2] They're anti american and they don't hide it [3], but they're not al Qaeda, because if they were they would be long gone [4]. The US deliberately destroyed their offices and killed their journalits in Afghanistan and Iraq just because they want to uncover america's dirt in the ME. [5] And this thing that Bush wanted to destroy their HQ in Qatar just shows how irritated he is with the image of the US they show [6] which Bush can blame only on his warmongering cowbay policy [7] and the conduct of the US military in same cases. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
  9. You mean that's all it would take? Give back the poxy orange, and we can have a proper ending? Man oh man, I am there!
  10. Only if you count "griefing" as valid social interaction.
  11. *Gasp!* Return of the Text Graphics RPG!
  12. international orders: Placing an International Order GameExpress.com welcomes International Orders. ...
  13. nVidia pwns the mid range at the moment. If you can't affort a 7800, get a 6800 (although they are very noisy, you may want to modify the heatfan).
  14. I'm sure there is a sign on the door saying "Please do not feed the trolls" ...
  15. Which is probably why they decided to make them all equal (and yet modifiable), so as to head off any angry nutjob mobs AND allow complete flexibility ...
  16. True, but is is possible, as you indicated
  17. Ahhhh, but is he purposely feinting a null move, or is it really a mistake? Am I right? Am I right?

  21. DE MORTVIS NIL NISI BONUM
  22. Ah, I sea said the blind destroyer to the aircraft carrier. Mine are yachts.
  23. Watching Terry Gilliam's latest film, The Brothers Grimm, I was tickled to see his representation of the Napoleonic French and their arrogant domination of the Germanic people and the disdain they demonstrated to the sacrosanct forests ... kinda lets the audience in on a little of the background that helped lead up to WW1.
