Oh! Oh! I'm good at this! Let's see... Something short and catchy, an abrivation or derivative.... preferably with numbers instead of letters, because we all know that's cool... and something that reflects the "modern" angle; something fresh and new... I've got it! I hereby dub you: N00b! ...

I like Chips in brown Gravy!

Don't be silly! :lol: This isn't EA. Introversion aren't going to shut down the Uplink forums. A) Because the tiny amount of bandwith and space this takes up is well worth it to remember their first game and support a loyal community, and; B) Because the're still selling Uplink. One day, prehaps. Bu...

It takes about 10 years to complete a fuel cycle, but, yeah, nukes are 50 year old tech, so pretty much any country with western-educated physics graduates could embark on the process. The thing is, Iran has the right to nuclear energy, since they signed the Non-proliferation treaty. The only catch ...

All hail, President Beckham! What you seem to miss, edd, is that the Queen does what she's told. She's a living flag. Hence "we" - one is Elizabeth, the other is "The Queen", and never the twain shall meet. She entertains who she's told to, reads the speach that the PM writes for...

I don't understand this at all. Iran has some of the largest oil stocks in the world. The Americans will look kindly on anyone with lots of oil, who plays ball. Iran doesn't need atomic energy - they have plenty of the normal kind! So why put your nuts under a sledgehammer when you don't need to?! J...

Greetings, professor Falken.

Shall we play a game?

The best. All further argument henceforth forbidden.

Exactly so. The armed forces and civil service of the USA report directly to the president, who a) has power, and b) has a mandate to use that power, and c) is a political animal. The armed forces and civil service of the UK report to the Crown, who has no power, no mandate, and no political ambitio...

Ah. A Communist. Right.










I do so love a receptive audience.

It's all fun and games untill someone gets the CSA involved...

Yeah, the Americans never were too good at the invasion thing... :-) Hmm... Stews, you're right. That's the most common date I found. But I found more than one, so I can see why it would be confusing. Not entirely sure we can take anything that guy says at face value. Oh, and edd8990 - we've had thi...

Interestingly, this is also the 80th birthday of Fidel Castro. Two unelected heads of state - one of which prevents democratic rule, and one of which is invaluable to it. Strange how two very diffrent political structures can share a shocking number of features... freedom realy does hang by a thread...

What?! We don't get to be sexual predators!? But I've got the mask and the dreadlocks and the fishnet bodystockings and the green blood and everything! What a waste!

In that case, I know a good cheat code...

To them is is not given, For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound; but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away also what he hath. Therefore do I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not and hearing they hear not, and neither do they understand. And the phoph...
