Totally use that coupon if you're into TPB and get access. There is a 8.5 season on there with all of them in jail and it's pretty awesome. It starts off slow but by the 4-5th episode through it gets really funny.

I'm not super framilar with Peugot cars as they aren't sold in Canada. Was this all hilarious because the steering radius's on the cars were shit? It just looked like they picked two random used Peugots and drove like idiots in them. I couldn't figure out if the cars are really that bad, or if...

Maybe we're using different functionality in C++ but the code below does a deep object copy replicating the vectors (but only copying the pointer location, not it's value). I was kind of curious what kind of vectors etc you were using that you had to create a copy constructor. It's really rare...

It hasn't been mentioned yet but if you watch the IT Crowd and you're familiar with the Countdown episode Kublai Kahn is actually the Morpheus (Prime) character from that episode. I picked up on that the first episode and it almost ruined it, luckily Kublai Kahn was well done and I had...

Theres nothing about corporate espionage that says it's results have to be clandestine, obviously if you're the actor who's orchestrated it you don't want to be found out. Heres a few things I could come up with that would benefit another corporation: - Embarrassing Sony Pictures and it's...

I'd disagree, you still have corporate espionage as a possibility. North Korea is the perfect scapegoat for what at the heart is a very damaging attack on a business that may well have to have it's leadership thrown out to move forward, or may even result in the studio being closed and re-opened...

Two major theater chains in Canada are pulling it, Rainbow and Cineplex. This better be a marketing ploy because I honestly find it appalling how quickly everyone is turning over for what is at best a weak threat.

I'm pretty sure Lockheart's fuck up is just a device to get Saul back into the CIA, he's probably got a taste of what the job is really like and can't take it. Then the president taps Saul for the top spot, tells him he's sorry for picking the wrong guy and gives him his full backing to do...

Sorry that you don't like that link! Here is one from nature on the same subject that's an editorial linked off the same website.Fusion furore : Nature News Comment I find it amusing how legitimate someone can think a project is based on how well done the web page is hah. They are starved...

The whole ITER method of fusion has been the main focus of funding the last 60 years. There are literally dozens of new reactor designs that don't require the kind of crazy engineering that ITER does and could be researched for (I'm not making this up) 1/100th of the cost of what's been dumped...

The primary driver for the technology is specifically for laser weapons on ships and planes (That's where lockheed got the funding for it). What really pisses me/disappoints me is that if Lockheed is really this close, why isn't this the next Manhattan project? If 10 billion turns five years...

Totally agree on Gordon-Levit's plot, when it ended I couldn't really see the point at all. He's trying to get back at Roark but in probably the most retarded way possible. You could have cut that entire piece out and the movie would have been better for it. I also didn't feel Brolin really...

My understanding was that they were supposed to have free and open elections in 2017 and now the central Chinese government is trying to limit it to only approved candidates. A bunch of young students started protesting this, then it escalated from there. The central figure in all of this is a...

The printing press was just a grape press with letters on the top instead of a flat metal surface. It was even used by the Romans as a way of "printing" patterns on clothing.. fuck you could even argue that the idea was there from the beginning it's just literacy was so rare it didn't make sense...

LOL, Yes I just fucking love Hamas. Man you're so fucking delusional, you keep wanting to paint this as being completely black and white because it's easy and it fits your narrative, but it isn't. It's extremely complex with tons of terrible shit on both sides and it can't be reduced down to...

Well Israel is a nuclear power since the late 60's, I don't think anyone would seriously consider taking them on anymore. When the muslim brotherhood came to power in Egypt they effectively ended the blockade to Gaza but once they were thrown out the border was closed again, and the military...

There are tunnels that run into Israel that are probably used for staging attacks against Israel but the vast majority of them run to Egypt. Most of rockets they fire off are pretty basic (Qassam rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and can be constructed with run of the mill materials...

My brother in law was the one who told me, but the Hamas wikipedia page backs it up:Hamas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The tunnels are primarily used for smuggling goods for profit, and a lot of people have been made rich off it. When the Egyptian border opened some of the people who...

Hamas provides the police, hospitals, funding for schools, food for the poor and build the supply tunnels for materials that Israel won't allow in. They are for all intents and purposes the government there, which makes them extremely difficult to dislodge. They're willing to fight Israel even...

My brother in law is Palestinian and used to go back quite regularly in the 90's and early 2000's to visit family in the west bank. He's witnessed this exact thing happen, though it was far worse than Israel just baiting and shooting. Israel is the only country in the world that has an open...

I've been watching this since 2010 and I've donated a few times to the foundation funding the studies. I would have killed to have this in my youth but sadly I'll probably have a couple kids and a vasectomy by the time it hits the market. It I'm really surprised that the Bill and Melinda Gates...

Dubai actually has very little oil wealth (Barely 7% of their GDP), the vast majority of it in the UAE is in Abu Dhabi. Dubai generates the majority of it's wealth from tourism and the fact that it's a tax free zone while some of the poorer emirates will receive equality payments from Abu Dhabi...

Soooo not true, in fact they were very close to a two state solution in the mid 90's and the only reason it didn't happen was the Israel PM who was driving it was assassinated by another Jew. Both sides accuse each other of not wanting to give up anything in the negotiations, but in all honesty...

I didn't really read the article for this but the attached document which is Israel's PR guide for talking about Palestine is interesting. No it isns a small sign that the MSM is (finally) going to take on the big bad Israel lobby | Mondoweiss

So they warn the people they're going to blow up the building which allows them get out. I'm not sure how useful that is in terms of stopping missiles as the person firing it is obviously going to know he needs to get out because of the warnings. So really they're just blowing up any building...

I never made any claims that Hamas wouldn't stop attacking Israel, I merely stated that the inclusion of Hamas in the PLO wasn't going to change the PLO's negotiating positions or signal unified agression with Israel. Which it fucking hasn't, there aren't any rockets getting fired off from the...

It goes both ways in the middle east. I can apply to get a second passport as a Canadian, one that I can use to visit Israel so I can still enter Arab countries and one I can use everywhere else so I don't get flagged when I try to enter Israel.

This is the last time I respond to this stupid shit. I quote, "Abbas has already pledged that the new administration will abide by the principles laid down by the Middle East peace quartet in that it will recognise Israel, reject violence and abide by existing agreements.", which you can find...

They are the recognized government of Palestine and represent them at both the UN and during peace negotiations. As of June this year they have a unity government with Hamas which includes the west bank (the entirety of Palestine), previous to that Fatah controlled the West Bank and Hamas the...

I'm pretty sure the PLO official positions do not include wiping off every jew off the planet. In fact they regularly cooperate with the Israeli's on security and other matters. Not to mention the single state solution was something the PLO has said they are willing to accept. "In 1969, the...

I was listing major hurdles for a single state solution and how Israel would have the biggest objections, so still not sure what your problem is. Israel's need to be labeled as a Jewish state is one of the main crux's for previous failed negotiations and why they're terrified of a single state...

This is the crux of it. If you follow along both sides in the conflict you can pretty easily understand how both sides ended up where they are and I'm sure you could make justifications for actions both sides have taken. They have both done very terrible things to each other but the reality of...

haha, the assessment is accurate. I'm sorry that the reality of the situation is what it is and makes me sound like I'm a bleeding heart but I can't change facts? My bad for trying to have some sort of you know, discussion about the problem and debating solutions rather than demonizing both sides.

It's comments like this that makes taking anything else you say seriously almost impossible. Israel is a nuclear power with a conscripted army and backing from one of the most powerful nations in the world while Palestine is a fractured state surrounded by all sides by 18 meter high walls, check...

They're two different questions, with two different possible answers if he so chooses. I really don't see the problem with that.

Frenzied Wombat, out of curiosity how do you think this should be resolved? What do you think the best solution is for both parties that's fair?

Xenu, definitely Xenu in there. He's kneck deep in thetans.

Just contact them on IRC and they'll likely reinstate the account. The admins there are pretty decent, other than the whole "You can never invite anyone again, I don't care you've uploaded 100TB it was your fault for accidentally inviting an email address who had been banned". My buddy who I had...

That's positive, the viewer ship numbers for this season are the worst of the whole series. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had decided to cancel it.
