Neither. (Most) parts of it are, but some other ones are not (yet). Big place, after all. But signs of massive ongoing deterioration of ecosystems are almost everywhere, that said. Give it 3...4 more decades me thinks, Jogre, then almost all of it would be way past that point indeed.

It's not "cool" though. It's a war crime using such ammunition vs any target where such a bullet can hit anybody, per Haague conventions since 1899 - this particular part of those, to be exact. Any sort of explosive ammunition qualifies as "easily expandable within human body". UK ratified it...

Sure does. :) Say, may be you can make it even better on this occasion by making that 'shroom much bigger, so that its head would be directly under "Sky" part of the name? Me no designer though, so may be it's one silly idea. It's just the blast looks a bit too small, you know. Vertibird's...

Yep, it wasn't. Also, this forum, a topic with this name just gotta be. I mean, be alive, not dead. "Until the end!" (c) HK-47 ;) About jokes; you say one i replied was one, but then hey, i say one i am replying right now is also one. Har har. Bite me. :P

No, they won't do it to get nuclear winter. But of course, they still might do an exchange when ultimately threatened about water, during unprecedentally bad food crysis, as a result of political extremism, etc. Why? Because nuclear winter is not a solution for their climate problems. If they...

"Movies" term includes documentaries, i recon. Me, i love honest documentaries. They allow to understand a bit better about what kind of a world, and what kind of a society, we live in. May i suggest this one for a starter. It's short, less than half an hour. But for many, an eye-opener.

The largest strawberry is ugly, and the smallest strawberry is quite good-looking.

"maybe if we equip our soldiers with early 90s keyboards they'll also be unstoppable rocket-powered-wheelchair-bound killing machines!". Can't see how it's a joke when being placed after #53 just above, which was done primarily for you. Sorry. Probably my fault. %)

Arnust: oh, the whole thing about lightgun vs mouse is off-topic here, so yeah, no connection. Hassknecht: sarcastic? Misplaced, if so. The art of FPSing is just that: an art. Not everyone can appreciate it, but there is much special in it once you're doing it yourself at good level. It's a...

This is entirely different issue, Hassknecht. I entirely agree light guns hone reflexes very similar to ones needed to wield real-world guns. I entirely agree that new one Rosewild shown through that video is a good step forward in attempts to make VR more viable and popular. It's just that we...

Faster than pregnant elephant - that may be. Faster than a pro gamer using a mouse - nope. Good thing you gave a video. Now i can show you how _slow_ that lightgun is. Literally. Go ahead and download that video (safefrom.net, etc). Then use classic media player (bundled to K-Lite codec pack...

Correct, CRT, of course. Didn't use neither acronim for a long time, those days "IPS" is the only LCD kind i ever bother to have any interaction with, so both terms are old past for me, which is why placed one instead the other... I don't remember what was exactly max frame rate of CRTs which...

Somehow i missed this post earlier. Just read it. You're right about nothing in my sentense mentioning combat, and about lack of telepathy on our parts. Nonetheless, i definitely didn't mean hobby and sport, and i keep hoping the context allowed anyone to figure out i spoke about shooting a...

Weak the Force in you is, padawan... It is academical research you were watching those for, were you not? :D

Good one. 7/10. Could easily be about 8/10 from someone adoring the mood, too (i'm not). Tastes, tastes... Speaking of mood, there are dozens recordings of this old song, but none is quite like this one.

Of course it does. You know why? Because while not free from silly mistakes here and there, in general the plot is written and all actors are playing their roles as if the thing's real. Heck real _war_ between heck real _stars_. Stanislavsky's art of playing a character, and overall dignity of...

Ah, SW:LJ topic. How marvelous. I'll be brief. The movie, in compare to classic trilogy, is extremely shallow, stupid and fake in a gazillion ways, from smallest details like X-Wing engines (which are done nearly as wrong as one could intentionally do 'em wrong) to most corner-stone things like...

Good point; for many it's a subject of faith, not reason. For yet many others, it's phychological block: they just deny the possibility we all are screwed much. For yet some others, it's one intentional choice to deny the obvious. But i can't agree about "time will show" part. For many kinds of...

Nonsense. You ask about _global_ warming, but all you got is one single place getting colder - not _global_ temperature. This is a fail. If you must know, i can tell you why this place and many other places like it - namely much of mid-latitudes, - are getting colder as a result of global...

My point being that in the game where vomitting from radiation sickness much/long enough ends up making you nearly-immortal ghoul, your saying "vomiting from radiation sickness somehow helps to learn big-time" might well be truth. Ah, now i get it, and yes, what you said above now makes sense...
