    Switzerland Bans Violent Videogames

    Is that the reason though? The article wasn't specific. Anyway, at least Switzerland has a system in place that allows veto votes by the people. You wouldn't have that anywhere else. They're not the only country to ban violent video games.

    Switzerland Bans Violent Videogames

    Then again, their intolerance is part of what has kept them independent for all these years. I don't see how it's much of a problem, either, if it doesn't affect neighbouring countries. No-one is forcing anyone to go to Switzerland.

    Switzerland Bans Violent Videogames

    I'm surprised by this. Switzerland has a reputation for being pretty liberal. I was planning on moving there one day, so I hope they reconsider. I wonder what people over there are saying. Looks pretty even according to Wikipedia. But yeah, average age looks to be around 30-40. I guess...

    Healthcare reform just passed!

    I don't get it. Why not make illegal immigrants legal? Most of them have jobs, right? And if they have jobs, they could pay taxes. If language is a problem, I'm sure most of them learn English eventually. This isn't a trolling attempt, I just really don't understand the logic.

    Hehe, haven't noticed anything yet. Meh.

    Metro 2033 - RPG Elements

    Realism isn't absolute, it's graded. So slightly louder gunshots, without blowing the speakers, would be nice, if they really are that weak. It was the same thing with STALKER and Empire: Total war. In both those games the weapon sounds were weaksauce, but were improved by modders...

    Portal 2

    I'm really looking forward to this. Portal is possibly my favourite game, ever.

    Restoration worked remarkably well. Thanks for the help, Silencer.

    Recovering deleted files

    Fuck it, then. Recovering some Total war replays probably isn't worth risking a computer meltdown. And I've done a lot of other stuff since this morning. Besides, the disk only has one partition.

    And these software solutions are absolutely 100% spyware/trojan-free?

    Recovering deleted files

    This morning I shift+deleted a folder thinking I wouldn't need anything in it. Turns out I did, there were a couple of files in a subfolder that I actually need now. Is there a way to recover these files? I know what the folder names were. I made a new folder with the same name, though, and...

    Escape from New York gets new lease on life

    They should remake Escape from LA instead, and make it slightly more tolerable to watch.

    FOnline 2238 - My story.

    Wow. I thought this was still in the beta or even alpha stage. Your story made me really excited about the game. Keep us updated about the new content! Preferably with screenshots. Could be the first MMO I want to play. Is it possible to survive with a non-combat character though?

    Sweden recognizes Armenian genocide...

    No matter the motive, the fact still remains they killed 1.5 million Armenians. Even if they gave them peanuts unaware that the Armenians have a gene for peanut allergy, or something. Those guys are dead.

    Amercians, anti-communist/socialist?

    Yep. Same here with the deers and moose. Pipboy x-11 has a very poor understanding of "Darwinism". Ever wonder why there are so many humans? Overall, his idea to regress to a feudal society is sickening. Ironically, society as a whole would be far better off if he was removed from it.

    Sweden recognizes Armenian genocide...

    Hehe, yeah, that was kind of the point with letting historians decide... But the discussion I meant to start was mostly about Turkey's reactions. With the increasing (?) number of states officially recognizing the genocide, will this force an attitude change in Turkey?

    Sweden recognizes Armenian genocide...

    ... Turkey expectedly pulls diplomatic tantrum. Maybe it's time to stop being sensitive about the issue over there? There's apparently overwhelming evidence that it happened, so why are they being so anal about it? Because it's still going on? It wasn't the modern day Turkish government that...

    Amercians, anti-communist/socialist?

    So what the hell is the point of having a society, if it doesn't give basic care to its members? Go live on your own in a cave without any other human contact, let's see how long you last. Even chimpanzees care for their weak and sick. If you want to regress back to feudal Europe, be my guest...
