Re: OT: Read a book!

I started reading SF pretty much in the order it was written. I began with Jules Verne as a kid, then moved on to H.G. Wells. From there I was ready to tackle my dad's SF collection, which had quite...

Re: Ye Olde Phong\'s Head Cantina and Bierkeller - The rebirth

The doors that lead to the Cantina's recesses open wide and hordes of beautiful FBW's in skimpy togas run out to mingle with the guests. Just before the doors close, Erax emerges, dressed in a...

Re: Philosophical Quandry: Piracy

Re: Philosophical Quandry: Piracy

On the contrary, DarkHorse, I feel piracy is a moral question much more than a legal question, because legally it is largely unenforceable. We can do it (and get away with it), but the question is,...

Re: Philosophical Quandry: Piracy

An ideology is a component of a culture, not an entire culture in itself. Hacker 'culture' is actually hacker ideology.

Re: OT : Australian intervention in Solomon Islands

Once again... you cannot target the terrorists directly because they (and those who support them) are in hiding. This applies to cultural warfare (nice phrase, Will) as well. What you CAN do is...

Re: Rules-Conduct-Playing to win-and Gamy moves?
