Oh, quite right. I think anyone who's tried to take a screen cap of a movie playing in Windows Media Player or the like will know that video just shows up as a blank space. (Took trying four different programs before I found one that would take the image over there <-----)

I just figured we had hashed that bit out...

I definitely advise people to be on the lookout for the Blank-Space Maneuver from here on out. I've heard it's the latest way to disarm your opponent's nukes...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm trying to learn how to do it on my own. You can give me a fish to eat, but I want to learn how to fish.

Just a thought, but it looks better with the white, it's hard to tell what it is otherwise.

Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you give up your monopoly on fishing, and become destitute.

Sure, but if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day while you go hungry. Teach a man to fish and then threaten him and his entire extended family with extreme violence, and not only does he give you all the fish he catches but you can sell the surplus fish and hire additional help to extort other local fishermen into also giving you their fish.

You see, that is what is wrong with the free market.

No, that's what's wrong with the Russian "free" market.

Nah it's what's wrong with fishermen. Power-crazed purveyors of fish are just one of life's little annoyances I guess.

Or the American version thereof

FreeMarket US v3.14b package
Changelog
Major changes
* v2.04 Beta Fast tracking system is near-renewal. To ensure continued technical support, US Presidents are encourage to test this new function fully by implementing agreements at will. Special focus for testing is requested on agreements which bypass labour rights and extend privatisation.
* Stabillity issues in IraqOil v0.65a are of primary concern.
US developers have had only moderate success in recent rolling out the PuppetGov v8.25 software framework. US Presidents are asked to push for further integration.
* v0.76a Kyoto protocol to be integrated due to continued software conflicts with WTO v4.25 and EU v6.72.
* In order to fully accommodate v0.76a Kyoto protocol, US presidents are asked to push for integration of GM-trade v1.23 into the upcoming EU v6.93b.
* The stability of v0.76a Kyoto Protocol within the FreeMarket US v3.14b framework is considered to be unstable and untenable.
Further testing by US Presidents is requested, with particular attention to be paid to the responses by the OilLobbyv4.8 framework.
* In the likely event of incompatability between OilLobbyv4.8 and Kyoto Protocol v0.76a, it is expected that FreeMarket US v3.20 public release will revert to the inclusion of only Kyoto Protocol v0.13a

Minor Updates
* NAFTA v4.23 has been considered stable despite attempted malware infections by malware HumanRights v9.23. New Privatisation v4.3b framework to be integrated as soon as possible.
* Sub-system AntiCorruption v0.33a, part of WTO v4.25, has been considered 'unstable' by developers of upcoming FreeMarket US v3.20 public release. It has not been cited for inclusion.
Whoever you vote for, the government wins.
