I do have to speculate on the legitimacy of your actual identity...

Of course! If you did not, I would be disappointed. I always thought the question of identities was quite interesting and even funny!

On that note, I hope you all have not missed xkcd? They cover the same type of fun and interesting mysteries as that of ascertaining the legitimacy of an online identity. Since this board has been lacking in posts while I have been gone, I will throw in this recent one:




And as always, the mouseover from the comic is important:




Actually, most of them I really like. You should go a round against this hacker-proof system setup:

You see...this post is really not about iPad2 but more about Adron posting on the forums.

Well, maybe, but I though the iPad2 vs chalk competition was pretty funny! Though I do admit, coming here and seeing all the familiar people made me long for old times...

Sweden has peacefully had peace for a longer period than the US. Sweden has not sought violent solutions in a long time. Thus peaceful solutions for peace have been proven to last longer than the violent solutions the US keeps selecting.

What Adron fails to mention is that these 1,000 sources were found in a former nuclear research facility and not some hospital or other medical facility.

Which goes very well with what you should be doing with your radioactive devices while your country is being bombed by invading forces. You wouldn't want to be losing control over them, maybe having them stolen by terrorists. There have been enough cases of radioactive sources for medical use being taken from dumps or closed hospitals in the former soviet republics.

As for enriched uranium; it has civilian uses as well as military uses. If this was weapons grade enriched uranium, I am sure the article would have mentioned that, since it would've strengthened their case.

Thinking about the reasons for powdering radioactive materials, how about having a look at the wikipedia article about enriched uranium? One of the illustrations is of powdered uranium. If the main reason for powdering radioactive materials was to spread them into populated areas, then that picture surely comes from a secret terrorist weapons manufacturing site... Likely?

And now I quote your next article:

Quote
The 1,000 "sources" evacuated in the Iraqi operation included a "huge range" of radioactive items used for medical purposes and industrial purposes, a spokesman for the Energy Department's National Nuclear Security Administration told AP news agency.

Oooh? Radioactive items used for medical and industrial purposes evacuated from Iraq? Wow. Dangerous! Obviously there has to have been ill will since they were using radioactive items for medical purposes!

And we move on to your comment about radioactive materials being "in powdered form meant for dispersal over populated areas"; find the relevant article quote:

Quote
Bryan Wilkes said much of the material was "in powdered form, which is easily dispersed".

Oooh, so it was in powdered form which is easily dispersed? Nothing about it being that way for the purpose of dispersal over populated areas; only that it happened to be in that form. Which is a convenient form for the actual radioactive substance to have whenever you want to shape your radiation emitting device.

Conclusion: Another case of you making things up or completely misinterpreting. Next time, link an article that actually supports what you are saying.

Yeah, that is the big problem right there... You use your house as security for a loan. Property prices go down. The value of your house no longer covers the loan. You are forced to sell, and you still have a debt to the bank.

Haha, and I quote from the article:

Quote
The weapons are thought to be manufactured before 1991 so they would not be proof of an ongoing WMD program in the 1990s.

Quote
Offering the official administration response to FOX News, a senior Defense Department official pointed out that the chemical weapons were not in useable conditions.

"This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991," the official said, adding the munitions "are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war."

And old nonworking weapons with remainders of mustard gas are still found in Sweden to this day. Yikes, I guess Sweden has WMD!!!!!

Imports increasing is probably one reason you need a higher tax rate. If the money paid for basic stuff now leaves the country quickly, it won't be churned in your economy as much and so it has to be churned quicker. Previously those simple things probably were churned through many stages of manual labor and pay. Whereas many of your exports are low-churn products, that only pass through few stages of development in the country.

Why did you care that they were stealing beer?  Did it really effect you in the slightest?  You're lucky you didn't get hurt trying to stick your nose in someone elses buisness....

Scenario... Lady suffers from a psychological disorder and is actually just hallucinating/delusional. Two guys walking towards the door hear a psycho yelling at them and panic + start running. Falcon and friend charge after the guys and one of the guys is knocked to the ground. The other guy pulls out his gun and shoots Falcon and friend in self-defense.

Comments?

You need to extend the age range if you're looking to get as many participants as possible...

I don't believe in pro-choice, I think pro-choice is TOTAL bullshit...EVERY choice should be about the child & benefit the child most unless the woman is in a life or death situation.  Pro-choice, the choice to stop a life?

Pro-choice; the right to do the right thing. Pro-choice; the right to do what benefits the child the most. Pro-choice!

Well, that does seems like a conservative thing to suggest. In old times, marriage at a young age was normal.

False and 0 in Visual Basic is not the same as the Null keyword in Visual Basic at all.  If anything needs to be passed as a null parameter, use 0 (same thing as passing vbNullString aka "")

vbNullString is actually not "", and it can be important to separate the two. Use the right one at the right time.
