Wow... in the almost two years I am away from this forums, I never knew something like this happened.

What a relief that this issue is solved for now. Congratulations Chris on your successful appeal.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Back in 2003, I was every skeptical about the US invading Iraq at that time. I remembered the confidence that the insurgency in Afghanistan will fade quickly, and it seems that the quick victory caused overconfidence. The "War on Terror" being expanded to Iraq seems to run parallel to Hitl...

This is good news to hear. The US had already made the mistake of fighting on "many fronts". (First Afghanistan, then proceeding onto Iraq without ensuring that Afghanistan does not have an insurgency). This is something I would like to conjecture: Since Iran and Iraq (Under the old regime...

I would heartily recommend these three games due to the ability to pick up, load and play a "quick fix" game.

Meteos

Planet Puzzle League

Geometry Wars.

These three games are quite easy to pick up and start playing.

I am most pleased with this announcement. During the time Microsoft had the video game rights, I was barely content with MechWarrior 4, MW4 : Mercenaries and MechCommander 2. Good thing third party mods and expansions for Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries helped improve the experience. However, they had to ...

I myself was also once a.... Christian who believed in miraculous things like the events written down the Bible, Faith Healing, Bieng Saved, etc. I was once very proud to be a Christian as well. However, my first doubts about bieng a religious Zealot started to appear once I purchased the full bible...

I may not be politically savvy, but my best guess is that scapegoats will be "found" (i.e. created) and...dealt with. Or, they may "about face" and pretend that thier intention was "helping the victims" all along just to save face.... ditching their original project as ...

Yeah, like I was asking previously - we know that there are lightsaber resistant materials that a shaft can be built from, why not something like a Naginata, Yari, Halberd or other pike? 6' staff + 3' blade = death on a stick. One of the supposed reasons may be something to do with Standard Doctrin...

On a related note, I agree that good education and upbringing is a significant step in teaching children and/or Youths to do good to their fellow human being, taking responsibility for their actions, etc. However, there is only so much education can do. Apart from harsh Draconian measures (like....s...

I am....stunned and aghast at the irrationality of these... youths. I had thought that gangs / secret societies / gathering of youths fighting amongst each other over something extremely trivial (Staring, Accused of staring, "I do not like the way you look" comments, general rudeness, etc....

I would have wanted to go for a machine-based body. All the "bells and whistles" of robotics / cybernetics / AUgmentations. However, my new body will now be vulnerable to the ultimate technology nullifer: Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP). Sure, our own bodies still have maintenance requirements...

*Chuckles*... as a Singapore Citizen, I can understand where this leads to... Another thing that crossed my mind now that i read this: As a Biotechnology student, I also wonder if the Singapore Government's idea to push the development of Biotechnology will lead to advances like: Bacta for healing, ...

ID theft must be big business now. Everyone from spies to petty criminals seems to be getting in on it. The backup tapes were taken in-shipment to a data storage facility; I don't think securing the computers would have helped. Seems like a well-planned job. identity theft has been big business for...
