:goodpost: Indeed. One would have to  be quite immersed in a vision of some antiquated bipolar world order to think anything less. The Sino-Soviet  Conflict of 1969, and Nixon's promise of retaliation in the event of a Soviet nuclear strike, very much changed the whole so-called Cold War. But...

Submitting such detail, such as addresses for the last 10 years, is even required for applying to sponsor one's foreign-born spouse to immigrate to Canada.  My wife and I had to fill out so many forms that my mind is still reeling.  It is not too far a stretch to imagine that a foreign born...

I don't get it. If the 'Ban won't let kids fly kites, or send girls to school, why on earth would they put up with a rap "artist"?  Especially one of such little talent? Perhaps for the prop value, but if they had him when their utterly false interpretation of Islam were to be realized, I think...

I agree with all three of your points, and the conclusion even more so. It has been quite difficult, I would argue, to maintain such few &  fleeting liberal impulses in a country that historically has comprised several very populous nations long at odds with each other, coupled with the ever...

I awarded my first milpoints just a few moments ago. I, being a very junior member, am not sure how this works. Does one get a notification of milpoints awarded, and for which post?

Quite a lot of simple sociology wrapped up in grandiose terms that were droned on and on. Any might well do well to read the classics: Sun Tzu being one. Sure, it was overlooked for quite some time, and has had a recent resurgence, but the fact remains the indirect approach prevails above all else.

I'm no expert, but $600 seems very cheap. Especially if it has a dedication to Rohm, though it is hard to fathom why an original SS dagger would have such a dedication. Unless it was pre-'34, which would make it even more valuable. :dunno:

Good article, thanks! I liked this part, in addition to his comments about purdah.

Nice list, Dkeh! I also use most of the items you mentioned. Personally, I have found Koroush Ghazi's  Tweak Guides  and  Tweaking Companion to be exceptionally useful. http://www.tweakguides.com/ Great for optimizing games, browsers and video card drivers, as well as a handy list of current...

OK, thanks for the info. I'll have to do some more experimenting on my browser settings.

The game only works for me now (in Chrome, Firefox, and IE) if I lower my security settings to accept third party cookies. If I keep my original security settings, the game loads but is unresponsive to any clicking of the mission and menu tabs. Not sure if  I want to accept third party cookies...

We should be well interested, but not for going to war. It will never come to that. And on the miniscule chance that it might, it would be over long before any of the West could intervene. I agree that China would fight if they feel they are backed into a corner. Perspective is everything. One...

I love the last photo in the above mentioned link: 6 or 7 cows giving their best "wot are you looking at?" visage. Huzzah!
