If you don't want massacres, then don't fight the USA.
I don't seem to remember many countries (Apart from the Japanese) who have tried to fight the US in the last 100 years. It always seems to be the US deciding who to fight.
I'm sure I'll get modded down for this, but screw it. What if someone made a game glorifying Rhwanda? Cambodia? I realize its not the same thing, but there are certain "battles" that shouldn't be immortalized as heroic actions.
You don't understand. We are the good guys, hence the people who we shoot at are the bad guys, so it is OK to kill them.
On a more serious note, I also hope they cover the shooting by the US of civilians who were protesting about the closure of a school, and the killings by US troops in the later protest about killings in the earlier protest.
Maybe about the use of White phosphorus in civilian areas?
Sure, both sides committed acts that could (and should) be considered war crimes, however, if you are going to make a documentary style game, you may as well try and ensure it isn't biased 100% towards the US. One can hope
You're assuming that it can't be opened to let wind through or something.
You still have a large flat object longer than the width of the boat that will always orientate itself to the wind. A huge weather vane in effect. Take a look at a harbor and see how boats are tied up. Right next to each other. You are not going to make many friends if you keep smashing the adjacent boats shroud.
A rigid wing would be lethal in a harbor, as you can't take it down easily, and if the wind changed, suddenly you have a boat that is attempting to move and a boom swinging about.
Another large bonus of a fabric sail is that it will flap when my sail isn't set correctly or when I am sailing to much into the wind. A rigid sail wouldn't.
Fabric is lighter, and I assure you, the last thing you want is a lot of weight high up. It makes the boat a lot more likely to roll, and you already have a large surface area that the wind can push.
Let me guess before looking, hundreds of PDF files with those annoying black lines through
that parts people are really interested in.
I remember reading somewhere about a method of removing the black lines by calculating what the word could be based on the font used (letter spacing). I am not sure how far it got, and weather you could input a context.
And some information is always better than no information.
Computer Misuse Act (1990) forbids the unauthorized modification of computer material. How is changing the desktop not modification of computer material?
We will then have to attempt to understand why the ice caps are melting and the world isn't heating up.
Google that 30 percent were published in the U.S., 30 percent in industrialized countries
So does this mean that the US isn't counted a a industrialized country?
Or that all the books from industrialized countries are from the US.
While weapons in space will come, the US shouldn't put weapons into space, or at least it shouldn't be the first to do so.
If the US does put weapons into space, you would possibly end up with an arms race with China, and given how China (or more to the point, the US) is at present, I very much doubt the US could win it.
However, should the US get this deal, there won't be an arms race with China, Iran is a long way off weapons in space. (Given that it is building weapons that we have had for 50 years), and the Islamic extremest are never going to get close.
Both the US and China have the capability to destroy space based satellites, so it isn't as if putting weapons up there is going to be the all destroying weapon. The cost of a weapon that takes down a satellite is very very low compared to putting a satellite up their.
If all countries have weapons that do this, how long do you thing the US is going to have GPS in the next war? About as long as it takes for the country you are invading to launch 20 missiles
I think the US should be putting its efforts into fixing its economy, rather than putting something pointless into space to make other nations feel threatened and have to expand their arsenal.

Everything comes full circle in the end
Watch how fast https becomes ubiquitous. When everyone is encrypting everything, the RIAA will be utterly powerless.
Wait until people go back to swapping data on disks.
Uploading a music collection onto a 16 Flash drive and downloading it at a friends house doesn't take very long, and transfers many thousands of tracks. I doubt the record industry is ever going to stop that.
It is all moot anyway, as in 20 years time, the people who grew up pirating music will be in Government.
The police are for policing child abuse. If the Internet Archive has indecent pictures of children, the police should be informed, as blocking it doesn't protected the children from more abuse in any way. (See the "Its for the children" thing works both ways)
It is almost if the IWF has a different view of child abuse than British law.
At least it's less lightly to be left on the train, if it's not in government hands.
To be replaced by the private company selling it to the highest bidder?
