Indeed. I'm aware of the transformative processes that occurred in Russia in the last two decades. Part of those processes is the rise of a new-old elite composed mostly out of current and former members of the state security apparatus. Mismanagement and corruption of the nineties are not the...

It isn't Russophobia, but spook-o-phobia. A healthy democracy cannot be built in a post-communist country as long as former members of the Party's intelligence apparatus wield political and economic power. We have the same problem here in Croatia, except secret services in former Yugoslavia were...

Absolutely not. You may have been deceived by their reformist facade, but I know what chekists are like. Staunch soldiers of the State, indoctrinated into serving the State and its Bolshevik ideology with unwavering loyalty. Violence, oppression and deception are their way, and they can never...

Judging by the number of KGB aparatchiks currently occupying positions of power, I'd say modern-day Russia is a lot more similar to Soviet Union than most people realize. You can take a man out of KGB, but you can't take KGB out of the man. No amount of rebranding will make honest, trustworthy...

Hey, fuck you, man, my new headset rawks! It's powerful, light-weight, comfy, stylish, and it even has a detachable mic! Ever seen a detachable mic on a headset? I don't think so, motherfucker! Now I'm going to take my headset's mic and attach/detach it all night long, just because I can...

Fuck, yes, that game was terrible. It had a good engine, though, and modders were able to do some rather amazing things with it: http://www.u5lazarus.com/

I've played quite a few subpar games in my life, mostly mediocre shovelware on various Famiclones and Atari 2600 knock-offs. I really can't pinpoint any particular title as the worst, mostly because I never invest a significant amount of time into a bad game. The games that really stuck with me...

I too try to avoid plaque, but I find it's often impractical to brush my teeth after every meal, especially if I'm at a restaurant or suchlike. Anyway, my teeth still look better than these:

No, a lot of people who normally buy their games are raging on the Internet about refusing to buy Ubisoft's latest products due to the DRM issues, even though everyone who ever had any intention of buying Ubisoft games has already done so regardless of their stance on DRM issues. Why? Because...

With that kind of ham-fisted approach, it's no wonder every one of EA's forays into MMO genre has ended in miserable failure. I'm going to laugh my ass off when SW:TOR train-wrecks and EA fires half of BioWare staff.

Update: My good old Plantronics headset gave up the ghost on Easter of all days, so I had to spend my meager remaining cash on a new one. Since I didn't purchase a dedicated sound card in my awesome new system, I decided to get one of those USB headsets which bypass the system's audio hardware...

Cubase is very CPU-intensive, no? If anything's overheating, it's probably the CPU. Get RealTemp and have it run in the background and log CPU temperature, then check the log after the crash. However, if I'm reading right, you can't even power on the system immediately after the crash. That's...

Yeah, yeah, my dick is still bigger than yours.

I don't know about the tank itself, but you should definitely tailor tiny Vault jumpsuits for your fish. For extra effect, adorn the bigger specimens in leather and attach tiny miniguns to their fins. Hell, you could even put deathclaw horns on a shark and then release it in the aquarium...

Hey, guyse, check out this April Fools joke. It says ATI released a dual-GPU card that does 4.64 TFLOPs and eats up 294W of power. Oh, wait, that's real:

I thought the point of April Fools was to make new jokes, not re-post those from ten years ago.

9 years old too young for sex? Man, I *had* sex when I was nine. Well, with a Catholic priest, but still, sex is sex.

I don't recall the shooting range being mandatory. Or particularly entertaining, for that matter. Feel free to skip it.

Yeah, yeah, STFU already, science fag. The only truly important part of the article. You heard the woman. Nuke the oceans before it's too late. Can animals dump napalm on communist insurgents while blasting Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries from helicopter-mounted speakers? No? Then humans are...

Whoops.
