I can't believe this. My job involves video and the Internet. My two favorite things. Yet, today, I'm hating this. - Mop Nov 19, 09:54
For those that play conquerclub, to garner the extra armies available for a region in a team game, is it necessary to take over every province within - Loyola Nov 19, 09:52 2
- You have to control all the provinces; not the team. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:52 1
  - Ok thanks. -- nm - Loyola Nov 19, 09:53
SITWAP: Indians sink pirates. Wait, what? -- (link) - TaurusII Nov 19, 09:48 38
- isn't baseball season over? -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 19, 09:58
- some enterprising entrepreneur should outfit a couple of runabout boats and hire themselves out as escorts to the shipping companies - decline Nov 19, 09:57 31
  - I'm telling you, blow up a hijacked ship or two, problem solved. - TWuG Nov 19, 10:04 13
    - let's see, we have one ship that might have radioactive cargo, and another that's an oil supertanker. Both have the full crew on board. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:09 3
      - not to mention the one with tanks and ammo (although I guess if it's D.U., that might explain the radioactive cargo) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:12 1
        
        that's the one I mean. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:12
      - you mean causing a potential ecological disaster also wouldn't solve the problem?....nm - x Nov 19, 10:11
    - Seriously. Take a couple of old tankers, load 'em with ordinance, and trigger 'em to blow when boarded - decline Nov 19, 10:07
    - You do realize that the crews are generally held hostage along with the ship, right? -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 10:06 1
      - you mean it wouldn't solve the problem when no one wants to crew the ships going through there?....nm - x Nov 19, 10:09
    - SHOOT THE HOSTAGE! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:05 5
      - It's sad to think that the hostages are probably more expendable than the ships. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:06 4
        
        In the eyes of the ship owners, that is. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:06 3
        
        probably hostage-takers, too. Although this will only last until a teenager gets held hostage, then Delta Force will solve the problem. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:07 2
        
        Charlie Sheen and Chuck Norris will solve this! -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:08 1

  - would lead to an arms race with the pirates, leading to more costly insurance due to the higher chance of something going wrong. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 10:01 10
    - do you have a better solution? They ain't gonna stop until someone makes it to costly for them to try -- nm - decline Nov 19, 10:04 9
      - Faulty logic. They aren't going stop until another avenue of monetization becomes more lucrative. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:06 5
        
        They should grow poppies. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:06 4
        
        then they could be just like Afghanistan, and we know how great it is to live here. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:12 2
        
        you're going to Africa, right? Go there and fix it! -- nm - decline Nov 19, 10:15 1
        
        FIX IT!! -- nm - Max Nov 19, 10:18
        
        grow stuff? in somalia? ... I wonder if they could grow them in the ocean? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 10:08
      - it's something that can only be fixed at the source. - znufrii Nov 19, 10:05 2
        
        Somalia effectively has no government or law enforcement. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:10
        
        that is true, but the shipping companies can't invade Somalia - decline Nov 19, 10:08
  - O RLY? -- nm - Blackwater Nov 19, 09:58 5
    - I was just about to post this. The Saudis have money, Blackwater will need money after Iraq. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 10:01 4
      - This proposition seems inevitable. It must be cheaper than paying the ransom. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 10:03 3
        
        According to articles I have read, they are considering instead rerouting the ships around the Cape of Good Hope. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:13 2
        
        12 - 13 days increase in travel times at $25,000 more per day roughly. That'll have an impact on prices. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 19, 10:14 1
        
        and yet they seem to prefer it to hiring security. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:18
- From everything I've heard, America is chock full of gun-toting psychos with no way to unleash their emotional baggage. - Beryllium Nov 19, 09:53

  - So you *are* a cannibal?! -- nm - TWuG Nov 19, 09:51 1
    - It's only a useful contrivance so that she can get to the bones faster. It's like me and french fries (to get to the ketchup) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 09:57
The Smithsonian Museum of American History is now reopen. The new Capitol Visitors Center opens in two weeks. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 09:45 8
- And I'm going to DC over New Years. *flex* -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 10:08
- I'm looking forward to seeing the redesigned American History museum, though the Capitol Visitor's Center has been a colossal waste of money. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 09:50 5
  - is the CVC located at the Capitol Building itself? -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:52 4
    - under the front. it's what all the construction between it and Folger has been. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 09:53
    - I think it's mostly underground, though probably connected to it. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 09:52 2
      - wish they had spent the money fixing up the Mall, which is an embarrassment. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:53 1
        
        Yeah. Though the bulk of things under control of the National Park Service has gone to hell in the past decade. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 09:54

        I don't like the idea of partner yoga. it's supposed to be individual. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:53 1
        
        Not always. It's fun and you use each other for leverage. -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 09:54
        
        Yes, but we need kid-watchers. - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:50 3
        
        Hrm. Maybe see if there is a class they can be in at the same time. Sorry. -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 09:52 2

linky: Britney says her life can be worse than jail. honestly, I wouldn't want her life for anything. -- (link) - loosilu Nov 19, 09:29 36
- LOOK AT MEEEEE! I'M A PRISONER! WAH!! - I'm Britney, bitch! Nov 19, 09:39 7
  - and if the press actually did ignore her, she'd be complaining...live by the PR, die by the PR -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 09:40 6
    - She's young and has a short-term forseeable future, unfortunately. - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:43 5
      - from what I understand, they just wait for her 24/7. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:45 4
        
        of course. When you know a train wreck is going to happen you want to be there to see it and sell it. - Remlik Nov 19, 09:48
        
        Sure, now they do. Crazy sells. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:47 2
        
        well, this is why I wouldn't want her life *now*. I think it has gone out of her control. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:49 1
        
        I still have little to no sympathy for her. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 09:51
- I'm happier with *my* life but comparing her life to jail is stupid, insulting, and insane...she needs a healthy dose of STFU! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 09:36 2
  - well look ... Britney is stupid and insane, and probably has no clue why that might be insulting. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:42 1
    - You would think she could ask Paris about jail. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 09:44
- I'd love her life, starting in like 1998. It's the intervening 10 years where she allowed it spiral into this 'prison' now. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:30 22
  - Yeah, too many idiotic choices. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 19, 09:35
  - well sure, but I mean her life now. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:32 4
    - What does her life consist of exactly? Washed up pop singer? Nobody is forcing her to continue living in LA or go to night clubs -- nm - con_carne Nov 19, 09:35 3
      - If not for her kids, she could/should go live overseas. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 19, 09:42
      - she's not really doing that any more. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:41
      - *flashes cooch, pretends I didn't mean to* -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 09:39

    - There's many celebs who do live in LA, who find the ability to live as normal as possible with all the perks that come with celebrity. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 09:33 14
      - definitely. I think she chose the path that brought her where she is. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:41 12
        
        It's Faustian at it's core, but she made the deal -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 09:43 11
        
        the question is, did she know what she was doing? -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:43 10
        
        She signed in blood...if she didn't read the fine print, that's not Old Nick's fault. -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 09:50
        
        She was pushed into it but now she is an adult and is choosing to stay in it. So BOO F'N HOO! -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 09:47 8
        
        And making a string of foolish decisions as an adult -- nm - con_carne Nov 19, 09:53 3
        
        I'm not talking about when she was sick, she got better and instead of quitting the biz she put out another album and is naked in her video. - lileve Nov 19, 09:58 2
        
        you think she's all better? doesn't look like it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:00 1
        
        I don't think she will ever be normal but she a lot better then she was. I don't have all the answers Just giving my opinion. -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 10:02
        
        *makes note never to go to lileve with a problem* -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 09:50 3
        
        as long as that problem isn't "getting too much of what you asked for" I think it's still ok -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 19, 09:54
        
        She's complaining about something that she is actually controlling. -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 09:53 1
        
        at this point it seems to be out of her control. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:04
      - True. -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 09:34
- ditto, bitch -- nm - Britney Nov 19, 09:30
- quit the biz then or shut up. -- nm - lileve Nov 19, 09:30
LIR: Daschle is Obama's choice for Health and Human Services -- (link) - oblique Nov 19, 09:28 2
- I agree with the commentors...What are his Health& Human Serv creditenals -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 09:36 1
