    Biodiesel: Is it the answer to all our energy needs?

    Yeah, I think that's what it was that I heard about, but the difference between that and what I and Gwydion cited is that these sources of fuel are just as good as normal gas. In fact, the site that Gwydion has talks about a process that turns our carbon-based waste into gasoline, which is...

    What is up with this world?

    The Illuminati??? Wasn't that some BS that Eco made up in Focault's Pendulum (even though he did a great job convincing me otherwise :) ). Yeah, the world's going straight to shit in a handbasket, so what's new.

    Biodiesel: Is it the answer to all our energy needs?

    Check out this site: Grassolean No it's not some hippie treehuggers wet dream, but one hell of a cool alternative to diesel fuel. The funniest part is that instead of relying on the middle east for oil, if this stuff becomes popular, we'll be relying on fast food joints and other grease...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    Nah... I don't know about everyone else, but I haven't had time to make a detailed response, got the 12 hour midnight shift to worry about for the weekend and sleep and a personal life for the other half. Anyways, not that it's directly related to Iraq, but have you all heard of Grassolean...

    Patches for Fallout 2

    Quick question, I'm using the FO 2 version that already comes with 1.02 installed but it's still a bit buggy after appying your patch. I've tried out what the other members have suggested but to no avail. Can you give me some advice on aplying it succesfully. Also, what would be the first...

    Graphic/Sound card suggestions?

    the Pro has faster engine and memory clock speeds. Here's a comparison chart (it's for the Radeon however): Radeon 9800 Anyways, from what I've heard, the Radeon 9800 Pro is supposed to be better than the GeForce FX 5900.

    The "creator" of the H-Bomb died yesterday

    Not to be picky, but wasn't it Loe Szilard who first came up with the concept of the nuclear chain reaction and therefore the A-bomb. In his defense, he tried to petition the world leaders not to use the bomb on moral grounds, and was later so horrified by his idea that he changed his field...

    Gun control

    Alright, my final say is this, I have seen three perfect examples of an intellectual honest and engaging person (other than me of course :wink: ), an intellectual dishonest person who has skewed my words and taken them out of context so badly that even I don't know what I said, and one mentally...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    Actually, He made those statements in 1978, before the Iraq-Iran War and therefore before US support. Still, you don't know what's going on inside Husseins head and therefore you shouldn't assume that he won't do what he states. The reason why I referred to Hitler was because he made...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    As for the second picture of Rumsfield, that was taken back in 1983 after over 200 marines were killed by Iran and Reagan asked Rumsfield to be a special envoy to Iraq... You can read up some more on that here Also, it wasn't the US that helped build Israel's nuclear reactor and therefore...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    I agree with you on the fact that the EU is growing in power, but their are many EU and other European countries that don't hold the same views on Iraq as France does. In fact, France has threatened several eastern and central european countries that they wouldn't be allowed into the EU if they...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    The only problem with that scenario is that it is doubtful that these countries will be responsible with their newfound nuclear status. North Korea, for example, sells its weapons. What makes us think that they won't sell a nuke to a terrorrist org? And if terrorrists get a hold of nukes, the...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    Probably that propaganda and charisma are of utmost importance under this situation and that we need to be careful. And that is where George Bush has fucked up IMO, not internationally, but domestically. Unless we do something about those tax cuts, we just won't be able to spend all this...

    Does Radio Suck Ass??

    I agree that radio has really gotten shitty. Most of the rock bands that they play nowadays all sound the same and the message is the same incessant whining that makes me want to buy tickets to their concerts so that I can show up and tell them to stop being bitches, grow some balls and shut...

    Iraq anyone? or North Korea?

    Wow... So many good points... So many good discussions... We should just rename this thread to "current state of world affairs".... Alright, about the Cuban Missile Crisis... great work Welsh, you really hit that one on the mark. Very few people know or remember the most important...

    GATOR and Relatives

    I haven't tried Spyware S&D (thanks for the heads-up), but, from personal experiance, Ad-Aware is pretty darn good. As for GATOR, where the heck is Steve Irwin when you need him... *sets off poor joke alarm* ...sorry, I couldn't help it. :( But yeah, the thing with GATOR is that...

    Religion

    You are correct on most points Briosfreak, however, Rome did have (correct me if I'm wrong) if not the first representative democratic system, one of the earliest. Roman citizens who had land could vote for a senator to represent them. Their government was roughly partitioned in the same way...
