I'm currently working on a university project related to this issue, and I was trying to craft a possible compromise proposal regarding the Senkaku-Diaoyu Islands Dispute. I wanted to see what CFCers have to say about this issue, and I crafted some guiding questions regarding possible resolution...

I'm going to be away for the month of July and the place I'm going to won't have computers that I can play on. My budget is likely $1500, possibly $2000. If it can play games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or the Witcher 2 on Medium settings, that'd be perfectly fine. Portability is a bit...

France 24: Tax Breaks hurt French Economy, report says Do you think such tax breaks and exemptions should be axed, in order to increase government revenues and eliminate loopholes? If these tax breaks and exemptions are removed, how will this affect the French economy? Should the...

So I decided to write my term paper on the topic of the War of 1812, in particular its effects on the American military. I currently have an only basic grasp on some of the effects, and would be highly appreciative of any clarifications or source material that any of you can provide. While I...

I've been studying the history of the United States, and I'm curious as to what other CFCers call the indigenous people of the Americas. My textbooks use the term "Indians", most of my classmates prefer "Native Americans" or "natives", and other textbooks I've seen prefer Amerindians. So what do...

http://www.pcworld.com/article/223431/riaa_thinks_limewire_owes_75_trillion_in_damages.html Well, I think this just about sums up why the RIAA is an enormous pile of fail. What sum do you think LimeWire should pay up, if any? Is the RIAA even remotely justified for demanding $75 trillion...

I've been trying to find the game and its expansion, but I haven't really had luck on any non-eBay sites. I also want to make it clear that I am aware of the SoldOut version authorized by EA. However, I would prefer the ORIGINAL versions for two reasons: 1) The 200-page manual is one...

This is currently a high school project I'm working on, about Communism in the 20th century. It doesn't need to be a lengthy discussion and argument; just a moderately detailed answer (with whys) would suffice. 1) How has Stalin contributed to the course of history? 2) How do you view...

So I recently acquired a Logitech ClearChat headset with a microphone, and it was working great for the past 4-5 days. I was using it for Steam games like Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. Now however, it refuses to transmit my voice. If I blow into it, it'll pick up the sound like normal, but...

This seems to be a much overlooked strategy game from 2003, with still decent graphics and a great setting, 17th-18th century America. I'm having a bit of trouble with this game, because I got the jewel case version and there is NO game guide, only one of those "Quick Start" guides in the...

Many of our perceived manners such as men holding the door open for women and men taking their hats off indoors were created in the days before women were thought of equals as men. My question to you is that since it is now rather distasteful to be sexist, should we ignore the manners of a...

Article from CNN This is particularly personal to me, because it happened about two blocks from my school, and its where a large percentage of my classmates go to in their spare time. Anyways, do you believe this incident may be linked to the anti-globalization movement, some other...

Introduction: My fourth NES, of a long and slow decline, will hopefully reinvigorate the Carmen brand. My first NES was an experiment, one that failed mainly due to my inexperience in rulesets and the slow trickle of players left, although a sort of revitalization happened near the end. The...

Link Surprised No One Made a Thread about this yet. I'm actually quite stunned, I never heard of Earthquakes like this in Italy, only volcanic eruptions, although that's probably a sad reflection of me being negligent to disaster news.

Greetings my fellow HoI2 Players, AAR readers, and CFCers. I've always wanted to do an AAR of my own, ever since I've heard of them, and I've decided to choose Nationalist China. Now, if you are unfamiliar with Mod34, I suggest you download it HERE and get a little familiar with it, unless you...

An extremely intriguing, but long, article on piracy and DRM, and it addresses common misconceptions and arguments about said topics. There's also a substantial discussion of Steam as a form of effective DRM. I personally find it enlightening, although I never truly hated DRM, and I've only...

I'm taking a music class this year about history and theory, for the Medieval-Renaissance Period music. We've recently done Gregorian chants and will soon be moving in polyphony. So, my question to you is, are there any monophonic or polyphonic musical pieces you know of? Or portions of songs...
