so, it's agreed that women want to get paid the same, but get their own sports teams, and various other things that, in the end, make them slightly better than men? (Also, men have more upper body strength, women have more lower body strength, both are needed for sports, granted, not in equal proportions.)

they must've gotten the kids on 4/20, cause it's force fed down your throat in fifth grade, you have to know every state, where it is, correct abbreviation, and its capital. In sixth grade you do an in depth study of world geography, that's all you learn is "Where's norway?" "There." "What's norways climate like?" "cold." We spent as much time on the US, Canada, and Mexico as we did SA and Australia combined.

Alright, so I'll spare you the details (unless you want them), but I recently built my first rig, seeing as how this is really the "Computers" forum of NG, I decided to ask your opinion of the RADEON X850XT, the graphics card I bought. Personally, it seems to be a solid card, with pretty decent graphics, not running HL:2 at full settings, but more than adequate to run things well. So, I guess, discuss video cards in general, and tell me your opinion of the above card. (Also, a little birdie told me that ATI and AMD are merging, true?)

Yeah, totally, screw them, honestly, we shouldn't help out the rebels over in the new world, I mean, after all, they did fight us a few years ago, and it's not like helping them would hurt Britain, if they wanted independance, they'll have to earn it without the aide of us, isn't that right, Marie?

Also, a preview button would be nice. especially for code and political debates, it really helps to be able to proofread your post that way.

lol it's hilarious how his question was about where he could buy FLASH and he saw two choices, the FLASH forum and the PROGRAMMING forum and decided to post in the PROGRAMMING forum. Doesn't make sense.

Since when have flash users made sense?

In summarry (lol, had to), Learn to spell (Photoshop, not "fotoshop") and start on something much smaller, you might want to try learning JAVA. Just google "JAVA TUTORIAL", and you'll be on your way.

Damn, beat me to it. I think it depends on the severity of the case, and whether the jurors can be sure that the person is guilty. A man who might have killed his wife, but might have been out with his buddies, getting drunk and crashing with them. Probably shouldn't get the death penalty. However, if you've got the guy on tape, slaughtering his entire family at thanksgiving, he's probably guilty.

Isn't that a paradox, considering that they'd have to be able to read to get your message?

I lol'd, this should be required reading.

doesn't hawkings talk through a mech. voice box? that guys funny, but I'd be creep'd out if I saw him irl. Anyway, yeah, Earth's increasingly being risked by various things, ranging from tsunami's that will destroy the west coast of america, to space debris that'll destroy all life. Though, space isn't a possibility for another 75 yrs. I believe. Also, that's ignoring global warming, which is a topic all in its own.

Begoner isn't trying to say "This is better." He's jsut pointing out some of the faults of capitalism, faults that are almost entierly true. I've seen one post that has tried to argue against his points, and far too many that have said "What's the alternative?communism?" Sorry, Begoner's got a point, capitalism is not very efficent.

If you didn't know, I was joking. Just a precaution. (Refers to TehChahlesh's sig)

I lol'd. But seriously, China's history is one of the most fascinating that I know of, however, just about the only books I can seem to find on it are either of the three kingdoms, or recent (1900-present) history. China is quickly becomming a super power again, more industrialized, moredisposable income, more growth, etc. Still funny when people call it communist, cause it's really not so much anymore.

learn BASIC, any form, then move to Java where you can do some real things, but in order to make a "poke-mon"esque game, in anything except flash, expect to take 5 months at least, for more info on flash/Action Script (AS) go to the flash forum.

so, we've established that
1. communism works on paper
2. communism works in small groups (debated?)

And it only took us two pages to do it! congrats NG. (lol)

I have an interesting situation, in that my grandfather worked all his life, is a hardworking man, and is reasonably intelligent (he still suprises me with his random genious), but never got above lower middle class. Take my father though, very similar to my grandfather, intelligent, hardworking buisnessman, paid his way through college, went to an OK school, etc. started a buisness roughly 10 years ago, almost went bankrupt thrice, but is finally starting to see a profit from his job. Both of these men had pretty much the same opportunities, but one benefited more from capitalism. It has shown to me that two things matter most in caitalism, luck, and who your daddy was.
sorry, just thought I'd share that point, resume flami- discussing with each other.

you know what's really funny? Nobody has even mentioned the vast amounts of inventions, explorations, etc. that religon was a huge part of. Take a look at expansion from europe to the americas, one of the primary goals was to spread christianity to the "savages", causing god knows how many changes. Also, Martin Luther.

lol, The reason Christians are up in arms about it is becase the author (Dan Brown) really believes most of this stuff, he thinks jesus banged his mum, and started a bloodline that exists today. Though he labels it fiction, that was really just to make it seem more acceptable, I guess. It also pissed off a bunch of brits because about 30 years ago two other authors wrote a detailed analysis of various supernatural things that they believed pointed to the holy grail being the blood line of christ, and they think Dan Brown is copying them.

seconded, except the "never used MAC" first comp I had was a mac, and of K-8 That was what they used on the comps, in the end, if MAC was as popular as Windows, it'd have as many viruses, and would be equally shitty. But, MAC's are mainly for graphics, Windows is more versatile, from what I've seen

I love my country unfailingly, not the people who run it, they're two seperate entities.

I've a friend who's jewish, we joke on him all the time, saying that he killed Jesus, etc., but he knows we're just playing, especially because I know history well enough. But, the current trend is to hate Jews, that's always the way its been. However, if they'd give me some of their Jew gold, I'd leave them alone.

so the general census is that:
1. Resources are important
2. Resources aren't important
3. Russia is a rich bastard with lots of resources
4. Getting to Russias resources would be a bitch

Hmmmm, I'm confused. lol. But the question remains, what's the gov't that'd give it the most stability and last the longest? (BTW, when did they change the name of sverdlovsk?)

I used to read alot, now... not so much, mainly because when I bring a book to school, everyone swarms me to figure out why I care about what happened during WWII, the real frankenstein, etc. My vocab has become worse since I started reading the internet.
