Is it possible to change your profile name?

I'm just wondering, I realize having my name on the internet isn't the best idea but if it something that needs to be added to the site software I guess I'm fine.

Zero the scope

Are you a rifleman? I recently decided to get into the hobby of shooting, problem is, my scope isn't zero, so I'm not getting any luck. Any tips on how to zero a scope effectively and cost effective? Thanks!

NFL Pick 'em Week 8: Arriving at the Midway Point...

And so we come to mid-season, with the Cowboys, Chargers, Cardinals and Broncos riding high, the Saints and Bears both plummeting to earth, and a bunch of teams stuck in the middle. We kick off the week tonight with a Thursday match which should actually be good for a change, the Chargers and Broncos in a clash for the lead in the AFC West. The Lions and Falcons play in London, Bengals/Ravens, Panthers/Seahawks...pick 'em!

Obi's Picks:

On a hunch, I'll take the CHARGERS, smoldering over last week, over the
The LIONS win in London town against the Falcons
The BILLS start the serious talk about them as a wild card with a win over the Jets
I'll take the RAVENS over the Bengals every time
Hm, two straight losses, locker room trouble...PANTHERS over the Seahawks at home?
The PATRIOTS continue the Bears' bad year with a big win
The TEXANS should beat the Titans
The DOLPHINS make the AFC East interesting as well with a win over the Jaguars
The CHIEFS should beat the Rams
The VIKINGS over the Buccaneers...
Hate to say it, but I'll take the CARDINALS over the Eagles
The BROWNS get back on the horse against the Raiders...but will Manziel play?
I'll take my upset pick here and take the STEELERS at home against the Colts
The PACKERS blast that Saints' defense apart with a road win in the Superdome
The COWBOYS...yeah...gonna destroy the Redskins Monday Night.

Obi, you'll have a better shot when Carlos Hyde and Marcus Lattimore are your lead backs because Frank Gore won't be demanding so much salary anymore.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
24 Oct 14 UTC

Washington can beat the Cowboys. Division teams tend to give each other a run for their money. It's not as bold as it appears on its face.

obiwanobiwan (248 )
24 Oct 14 UTC

Maybe, bo_sox, but I'll take the Gore/Hyde combo on talent this year, at least...

And it's more the defensive side of the ball that's hurting us, because we're just obliterated there. Last game, vs. Peyton:

No Patrick Willis, no NaVorro Bowman, no Aldon Smith, no Chris Culliver, no Glenn Dorsey...a rotating door of DBs...that's NOT the same defense that's gotten us to three straight NFC Championship Games.

And on offense, just as Anthony Davis comes back to the offensive line, Mike Uipati sustains a concussion and Daniel Kilgore breaks his leg and is out for the season.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
24 Oct 14 UTC

Yes, and if you had that $7+ mill back, you could actually sign some decent backups to complement a fabulous starting lineup on both sides of the ball. Frank Gore is 31 and not worth nearly that much.

Autumn Disbands, Fast Retreats

New players take heed: Sometimes is is advantageous to disband dislodged units in Autumn. You can rebuild them where they may be more useful. This is particularly useful in the Modern Diplomacy map where all SCs are considered home SCs.

Picking order or purely random

I was wondering if there is a mechanism, by which players are selected for certain powers. I got 4x times Turkey and 3x times Austria and i joined the game 3rd to last. I am also new here and there are other players who had less points when they joined. An explanation would be helpful, because Í do not believe in bad luck here.

Of Wars and War Crimes

http://news.yahoo.com/exhibition-of-syria-torture-photos-shows--depravity--of-assad-regime-220711714.html With all the talk concerning whether Israel and/or Hamas should/will face war crimes (I think there's a case to be made both Netanyahu AND Hamas leadership should face charges), we have here what's being called the "smoking gun" for Assad's actions. But does the threat of a warm crimes charge really mean anything? If not, how can it be made to "mean" more?

A new cold war with Russia

Why is everybody being so hysterical about a new cold war with Russia? I remember the last one as being relatively quiet, stable and resulting in a colossal and bloodless victory for the west taking form in the '89-'92 period. Wouldn't a second one teach them a lesson about who's boss?
