I like the way you think.

Very good W4rSkull; simply stated and clear.
Actually they are form of savior. Their rise forces the issues out in the open and someone to do something.
Because alternative is that rot of old parties keeps on going until we are in the Greek boat. Or Italian, old parties being captain Schettino.
Yes there is. Wise and benevolent dictator. It is THE perfect way to rule.
Of course, problem comes when you need replacement.
Though wise and benevolent dictator should not be confused for everyone being happy. Simply that result as whole is beneficial to the people whom he/she rules.
I just read that same thing in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels. And, yes, a wise and benevolent dictator (such as me) would be a good thing to have - but dictators rarely have very steady careers and are easily replaced by less wise and less benevolent rulers.

Demo of Epic Space Battle starts around 26+ minutes.
Video of the Oxide Games Nitrous engine, using the Mantle API with tens of thousands of draw calls.
Imagine this in ED, epic space battles with thousands of ships (demo has about 2000 ships)!
Do you think ED should adopt the Mantle API?

It never ceases to amuse me that so many people think that unless government is free to spend more than it collects in perpetuity it spells the end of civilization.
Au contraire, the healthiest thing the US could do is precisely to stop spending and borrowing so much. This entrenched profligacy will be what ends in disaster, not its absence. Far better to face the pain of readjusting now, rather than kicking the can down the road until the problem becomes so insurmountable it leads to monetary collapse.
Disclaimer: this should be moved to offtopic I guess.
Problem is quite simple - if everyone would have some savings, then yeah, going cold turkey in face of problems borrowing money sometimes can help. However that's not real in modern capitalistic world, which has quite big amount of poors, and huge amount of live-by people. In such scenario those are hit very very hard. And guess what - those live by and middle class are biggest motors of economy, because they spend money. Rich people earn more than spend, and thus take money out of economy.
Fiscal discipline is nice thing, and things must be balanced, but for de facto situation on the ground going in spending freeze will make things much much worse. They should figure out how smartly and slowly turn the ship.

I think the US default will impact on the spaceship fuel cost, making the attack on the mantle of the planet a rather expensive proposition.. oh wait...
All the talk of default is absolute rubbish and political posturing. It's written into the US Constitution that default is illegal and if the president allowed default he would be impeached. In addition the Congress is required by the same law to pay all debt as a first order of business. If the US was to default there would be a revolution.
I politely disagree. Conservatives want a smaller government and less taxes.
Not wanting to be impolite but all of that is mumbo jumbo. The government is not the economy. I can well appreciate that the mainstream media would want you to believe otherwise but it is not true. Individual prosperity is not a function of government spending, but is if anything adversely effected.
The bottleneck for number of ships isn't GPU power, it's network latency.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIWyf8Hyjbg

Absolutely. US defaulting (again - for the 3rd or fourth time?) would destroy .. lots of stuff .. and revolution would ensue.
Yes I agree since the discussion has moved on to more general economic matters. Moving thread.
as a USA .. person, ultimately the core of the problem, or the most immediate victim, its been a long time coming.
The post Afghanistan tanks are in place in small towns and the police have long been conditioned to shoot the unarmed.
It'll be bad a while, then it must get better, but you all elsewhere must go on and think us the example of the sinking ship and what not to do.
