We had to pay a 25€ fee! Bastards... Actually, some 80% of students here are financially supported by the state, while the rest do have to pay for their education (albeit the ones who on account of having bad grades haven’t been able to rank themselves high enough), with the most expensive...

That's perfectly OK with me... ...as are people not having firm standpoints – of course, as long as you show a genuine effort of contributing to the discussion at hand. So, a little "introspection" from you would be appreciated. That’s only fair, don’t you think? Appreciate your opinion...

A few words on human intelligence... So, what’s your view on Multiple Intelligence theory? How does it stack with the generally accepted definition of intelligence? And, how do you think the educational system could be improved, if it needs any improvements in the first place? The...

I played beach volleyball today, and was surprised at how good my serve is. Near overwhelming – for both my opponents and my arm (hope the pain subsides soon or I’ll get another neurotic episode). Did I mention that I suffer from OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder)? Goes to switch on and off his...

This here is what you call a vanity thread. Any comment you make is welcome (as long as it's not outright spamming), like your IQ scores, general opinion people make of you, the opinion you have of your self, or why you think this thread sucks (or rules). Though I have a pretty clear picture...

Who knows what they'll orchestrate...an isometric game two (or three) years from now? That most probably not. Think of all the options available by then. A large number of gamers will have upgraded their rigs to use multicore processors, and will have NV 7800 GTX equivalent graphics (or better)…...

Considering the amount of resources (both in personnel and time) Bethesda is putting into Oblivion, it seems entirely plausible for FO3 to inherit most of what makes that game kick. And yes, it would be kind of cool to unrestrictedly roam the wastelands relying solely on ones wilderness survival...

I beg to differ. Since Power Armor is by definition equipped with movement enhancers, it's entirely conceivable that the "wearer" will have severely augmented movement speed (say like 60 kph) and be able to jump over 10 meters in distance. All of this (including the jetpack) might prove to be...

Just how much bullshit must we take from the US? India defied the nuclear club and went ahead to build it's own bomb. It refused to sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty, yet the US was perfectly O.K. with this. In fact as a reward for not paying attention to any nuclear treaties they...

It's their problem, not ours. One they should resolve on their own. Do you honestly believe if Iran had no strategic importance to the US they would be making such a fuss about it? Self defense you say? - Bullshit! Altruism? You can't possibly be that naive... if it's about saving lives then...

As far as I'm concerned Iran should be allowed to continue with their uranium enrichment (or whatever they're doing) program... if Israel can have the bomb, then so can Iran. It's only fair. And yes, the US foreign policy is beginning to get on everybody’s nerves lately. Not to mention their...

A few corrections are in order... the missiles fired on Zagreb were by no chance cruise missiles – I doubt JNA had any; they were fired from mobile MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System). JNA had Scud type ballistic missiles capable of being equipped with cluster warheads, though I have no info...

Any of you played those SSIs Buck Rogers games? There are some very cool weapons there, which could nicely fit into the Fallout theme: Microwave Gun fires a short-range beam of concentrated microwave radiation. Microwaves can penetrate any non-metalic substance, but are reflected by all...

My political compass: Economic Left/Right: 5.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 8.05 Stupid test...puts me right next to Hitler... :roll: gees

Gee, thanks for the compliment. I don't know about the smelly part (coz I've no reason to enter elder's people intimate zones) but the scruffy and fat part is mostly fitting (for elders, of course). Though we can justify scruffiness by a certain degree due to habitual sweeps of very strong...

Smooth operator, ey? Come to think of it, my grandpa tends to spend a lot of time in the parks now, since grandma passed away… Though we can’t blame him for that, now can we? Especially so since you guys from Zagreb have these soft, gentle, annoying gay tones of voice. Let’s face it, you’ll...

I apologize for not having the time to finish off the post I started. The thing I wanted to address is that quite likely the allied persistence to bomb German cities only led to the lengthening of the war, not to it’s shortening. If they had concentrated their efforts on taking out airstrips...

Terror bombing is a strategy of deliberately bombing civilian targets and strafing civilians in order to break the morale of the enemy and make the civilian population of the enemy panic. The number of killed in allied aerial bomdardments: Hamburg 45,000 Dresden 35,000 – 45,000 Berlin...

From ConAir , with "Sweet Home Alabama" playing in the background:

I like the way you're going with that Sina. I've thought of that long time ago, ever since I read R.Heinlein’s “Starship troopers” where he introduces the concept of Mobile Infantry wearing Powered armour. And yes, "future" PA should be more sophisticated - more like a bio-chemically armoured...
