Cpt_Frank: Tax Abolition for one. Our beloved politicians want to allow people who "forgot" to report their income to reveal themselves, pay a 7.5% tax (as opposed to 27%, 35% and 40% paid by the rest of the populace) and be on their way. Now I wonder why the hell did my family honestly pa...

I got banned from #starwars-pl IRC channel for actually debating the Battle Of Yavin - the channel denizens claimed that the Rebels had to fight the entire fighter compliment of the station, despite obvious visual evidence to the contrary. As far as I know, they are stuck there in comfortable silenc...

Well, "steam powered nuclear reactor" is kind of an oxymoron :) It's either steam powered, or nuclear. However, today's nuclear reactors do indeed produce electrical power by means of a steam turbine ;)

But first they'd have to penetrate to that depth ... are ordinary bullets up to it? Hey, it's not like the T-Rex's skin is bulletproof. And since it's charging at you, all you need is to fire low, at the part where there aren't enough muscles to stop the bullets (most of the muscles are usually BEH...

I'd take the 12-gauge shotgun (semiautomatic, like the Benelli M1 or SPAS-12) with sabot slugs or an M16, and go for the legs. Even if you seriously hurt one leg, the T-Rex will eventually fall down and you will have all the time you need to pump it full of lead. Also, the UZIs with AP round wouldn'...

A gallon is about 4.5 litres IIRC Water is still cheaper than gas in Poland...but gas prices are ridicoulously overinflanted.

Berthas and Intimidators

I am afraid that none of these cannons would not be able to even put a projectile into orbit, much less even hit a target there. Elevating the barrels to a significant angle is not a necessity, as long as the gun can put enough energy into the shot for the projectile to exceed gravitational accelera...

Alright, alright. I'll admit that it's been entirely too long since I've played SC or TA. Gah.

As an aside, TA air defense will -fry- SC aircraft once they're detected I have to agree with that. Same goes for dogfighting - TA aircraft would have no problem blasting fighters that, when attacking AAA, just hover in front of the gun openings :) Hm. Also - was there ever a display of high-level ...

Protoss BDZ

Actually, there was no mention of a BDZ operation in Starcraft. After the Mar Saara invasion, the Protoss fleet entered orbit and unleashed a massive orbital bombardment (it's stated in the blooper after the first few missions) However, it "only" had the effect of exterminating all life on...

I would clean up the mess the Communists left.

First, I'd make sure that my party has the majority in the Parliament, and that I control my party. Then I would reduce the social benefits that my current goverment keeps bloating, and thus freeing up lots of assets to use. After the "budget hole" got duct taped, lower the taxes significa...

My brain nearly exploded after reading all that gibberish.
