Um.. that never worked out.

One side will eventually win out, massacre the able men, fuck the opposed side's women and the women back home when they get back. After a few years of the coming-home-boom the population is much larger than before the war.

Sure the violence is dramatic, but much more effective solution to population control is education. If a couple has only two children, the population is stable. So if the child is able to take care of the parents in their old age, it becomes counter-productive to keep breeding (It is expensive to raise a child after all). Europe and Japan are now seeing decreasing population without massive scale plagues or slaughter.

Alas is it impossible to have all places on Earth to have a civilization level of that quality :-(

I am willing to bet that it has much better success rate than asking questions on Slashdot.

Madagascar is quite impossible to spread the virus due to only having a port, but its also useless for vaccine research. Have you noticed that it got no hospitals?

Yeah! Nuclear and Chemical weapons get all the rage these days. It is time that the "B" in the NBC gets some love!

Good riddance. Internet turns useless on that particular day.

RIP Leslie. He was a genuinely funny comedian without reducing to slapstick.

Agreed. Have you ever encountered/worked with such code? Any available for viewing somewhere?

In my entire career I have never seen any examples. Could really use some for morale boosting.

Thank you so much GoG!!!

No DRM, clean installers, good responsive forums, reasonably priced. And now Linux support incoming. Virtually unheard of in today's game publishing/distributing business.

True, but that is IBM you are talking about.

It is a MASSIVE corporation that charges arms-legs-and-all-other-body-parts for their services. They got the resources to spare in order to test and support their products on all the hundreds of Linux distributions.

Contrast it to GoG.com that is a speck in comparison.

You are right about Crimea. Crimea was part of Russia until relatively recently (1954). Their leaving of Ukraine was inevitable.

I am more curious about your opinion on Eastern Ukraine. That part too has quite a bit of Russian population, but was never historically part of Russia. Do you think Russia would be welcomed if they invade?

You don't know what you are asking for! All the really smart Russians have been emigrating away in thousands since the fall of the iron curtain. If you open your doors your country will get swamped and you will be complaining about all those damn immigrants taking your jobs for cheap.

Have a look at refugee crisis in Australia.

I will hazard a guess that your grandmother was not Jewish or Roma.

You hit the nail squarely on the head. This is precisely the reason why I don't think Russia will ever do any kind of economic threats nor will enter any direct conflict with the United States.

How so? Correct me if I am wrong, but I was under the impression that all loans closely follow inflation rates.

For example if the inflation goes to 600%, wouldn't your loan immediately become 600% of the total amount you borrowed in the past?

Therefore, you have to be a nutcase to get an A in nonlinear differential equations.
