What I find strange is that there's no serious movement in the UK demanding representation in congress.

There's a very good documentary about it:

Well worth watching (and available on TPB)

Honest question. Why use wetsuits in WA at all? I've lived in Perth, WA, and I can't imagine why anyone would want to put on something extra since it's so damn hot all the time.

And yes, sharks.... but they are less annoying/dangerous than the local Christians who writes letters to the editor in the local newspaper, explaining why sharks should be exterminated because they're not part of God's plan.

How will the bot catch pedophiles if it pretends to be a 14 year old girls? Pedophiles won't be very interested, instead it might, in best/worst case, attract hebephiles. Or just normal teenage boys.

Damnit. I've been thinking+hobbyworking on a thing like this for two years. I KNEW I should have tried to patent the idea.

My only comfort is that it takes someone as brilliant as Jeri to beat me to it.

Most of my furniture is from IKEA (I'm in Sweden, so that's kind of natural). I've moved twice with the same furniture, and didn't have any problems. Or, well, last time I had to look up the documentation for the bed online since I didn't remember who things should be put together... but apart from that - no problems.

> Why not ?

Dexter, Longmire, Warehouse 13, Burn Notice, Under the Dome, Breaking Bad, Futurama, Psych, Homeland...?

As far as I know, the old Egyptians didn't have anything like that to distract the population with.

Reminds me of the below-average players in World of Tanks, always grinding for the Next Tier Perfect Tank that will get their winrate in the black for sure.

Just get better at coding / learn to master the tanks you already have. There are no shortcuts.

Oh yes it did. I'm guessing you're just too young to remember. Thanks to massive os/2 tv campaigns, "normal" people suddenly wanted a computer, not just a console to play games on

I used to be of the same opinion, but... I've been working in the hosting business for 10 years now, and that kind of attitude doesn't really work in real life.

It's 2013, most people (at least in developed countries with high IT penetration) have their own domain and website nowadays. Do you really think it's fair to call a 50 year old woman who wants a nice website for her cat-blog a moron? Or the coin collector who don't care about computing but just want to write about English hammered coins? Or the fishing club whose members wants a nice looking site with a gallery and perhaps a public calendar? Or the girlfriend who wants to blog about cooking? Are they all morons?

Websites are not just for companies or IT-people anymore.

Also, Wordpress is way way better than it used to be a few years ago (unlike Joomla which is a total fail in every version). Since 3.5.1 was released, I've seen more customers hacked due to brute force logins than security exploits in outdated themes or plugins.

The Wii U's biggest competitor is the Wii. I have the Wii, and I really don't see the point in getting a Wii U. The Wii is kind of special, at least I use it to play games together with others, in the living room.

As I understand it, the U makes it possible to continue playing if somebody wants to use the TV... Eh. But if we're playing together, why would one of us suddenly demand to sit down and watch TV? (also, the only "TV" we watch nowadays is Netflix, on the Wii or the PS3).

> Germany were sometimes tactically frozen is their rigid command system

Huh? Ever heard of kampfgruppe? Germany probably had the least rigid command system of all WW2 participants, unless you count various partisan groups.

Or did you mean Japan and the Soviets?

> Someone just discovered Battlestar Galactica I see

If that's true, I envy them. I'm currently watching BSG (the remake series, sorry puritans) for the 5th time.

It's the responsible thing to do. This is not a video game or some retarded "never back down" action movie for teenagers. If a change of plans might help avoiding a war (or avoid adding to the fuel), good.
