Definitely +1 for you on that last post, Archi. I'm always interested in looking through different windows of perception - I love getting new points of view on life. Drugs have been life changing, but in a good way. They've helped me straighten my priorities out this semester, and I'm doing much better because of it. But you have to be responsible in all of your dealings with drugs.
I would love to know how they straightened out your priorities. If anything, i would image drugs being a big time waster. It's not really productive at all.

Something that does not require constant growth to stop it imploding would be a good start.

Something cannot contantly grown on a planet of fixed size with a finite amount of resources.
That's a good point, but the economy isn't necessarily based on physical resources. It is also driven by ideas as well as non-physical things. Take the internet for example. The internet is a vast openness that is constantly expanding and anything is pretty much possible. The internet isn't a physical thing. Facebook isn't a physical thing yet is takes in millions of dollars, which helps the economy.

We all fucked, the UK is 1 Trillion pounds in debt, and we are only a small country.

We need to wipe the slate clean and start again.
We need to end capitalism, and invent an economic system that does not rely on debt and growth to service that debt. and not communism that creates too much corruption and abuse.

I like to call the system we have now smash and grab capitalism, everyone knows its all a load of bollox and to implode soon so just grab what you can, get as rich as you can while it lasts.
Again were all fucked.
If you can come up with a better system I'm sure someone will listen. The fact is, capitalism (although technically the U.S. and Euro countries  aren't capitalist, but mixed economies) has been the dominant form of economics for an extremely long time. So far no one has come up with anything better. What makes you think that a better economics system is possible?

I think our major problem is, that our US dollar isnt backed by shit. It's just printable. We print Millions every couple weeks, and bail out banks and other companies (that are funded by feds) by just printing paper. The more money we print, the less value our dollar has, which is why prices on everything go up each and every year.

Now if we backed the US dollar with gold and silver, prices would stay pretty consistent. The price of things don't really go up, your dollar is just becomes worth less than before.

And looking even deeper into the situation, I (and many others) believe that one day, nobody will want the US dollar. Right now the US dollar is the international currency, meaning, if Russia wants to buy oil from Iran, they have to exchange Russia currency into US dollar, and Iran has to exchange their money into US currency to do the oil trade. Then Iran would have to exchange currencies once again. basically huge hassle for some paper that isn't backed by shit.

Another interesting fact, Major countries of the UN had a meeting last year (leaving America out) and they want to change the world currency to Euro.

Now if that happened (or when), I would expect America to go into another great depression, banks closing and taking the money, ect ect... 

long story short, you should invest in something REAL, like gold or silver...or anything that has some kind of value other than green printed money. would be a good investment in long run.

just my 2 cents.

PS: i dont think 2012 is last year of life, but ironically enough, my bday is on 'dooms day'. 12/21/2012 :)

 so you can hang out with me if you want to live  8) lol.
A few things.

First, The Euro won't replace the dollar anytime soon if ever seeing as the EU crisis is worse than the one here in the U.S.

second, printing more money doesn't cause inflation, releasing money into the economy does. We have billions of dollars sitting in warehouses ready to be put into the economy when it is needed. Money constantly gets destroyed, so we need to keep putting some back into the economy.

Third, it would be an AWFUL idea to back the dollar with gold and silver again. Look what happened to Greece. The Euro has a fixed exchange rate (which is what the gold standard would be), meaning they cannot devalue their money nor can they print more. This means that even if their economy is going downhill, there is literally no way for them to try to counterbalance it by devaluing or printing more money. There are pros and cons to both sides, but we're better off how we are right now.

Probably because Pball has online physics.
That makes sense.

lol, he is right. No matter what setting you put it on (even low) Physics Detail is always high. At this point there is no way to change it. It's either a bug or it is forced to be set to high by assist for some reason I'm not aware of.

Enabling full shadows allows you to see the enemy's shadow near walls or sometimes through. You misunderstood, Killa.

I think.
heh, maybe I did. But he did bring up hacks a lot in the other thread. I assumed he was talking about shadow bot. :P

Also I had the shadow bugs, which I could see all enemies from walls :)

Why do you constantly admit to hacking and act like you're cool for it? All you're doing is giving me more reasons to dislike you. It's annoying when people that ruin games brag about it.

You're showing us 2 different battletracker accounts. We don't give a second account the honor of an already existing account. Your account with 84 honor still exists and has the correct honor. You need to log in with the username and password of that account. Again, we DO NOT give a second account honor of an already existing and perfectly usable account. It's not our fault if you lost the username or password.

proof it exists with correct honor: http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/185539/%3D%7BDI-Fu%7D%3DT.L.Gunman/

Good luck.

Still, low end IPS models are close to double the cost of a decent TN panel but I don't think they offer double the image quality and you can't get an LED IPS anywhere near 180€. LED is a must for me, I'm tired of seeing CCFL bulbs die or streak.

lol. Why are you using the Euro sign? Is Spanky a secret European?

Also, I got the VE228H. I'm loving it so far. So much better than my old Samsung SyncMaster. They had a 23" ASUS LED on sale for $160 but it was sold out by the time I found out.

Fuck me, someone else on here actually knows about IPS monitors! Truth be told Koden, I don't think sub $800 IPS panels aren't that great, there's comprimises in quality from the true IPS panels and some aren't much better than the regular TN panels. This is just want I've gathered from reading about those e-IPS. I had my eyes on the U2011H or whatever it was from Dell but being twice the price of a regular LED TN panel and only marginally better, I decided it wasn't worth it.
I knew about IPS monitors. I also know how most IPS monitors under $600 have a lot of problems such as long response times and awful light bleed. Just look at some newegg reviews. Even if you have the money to buy a $600 one, it's not really worth it for an IPS.
