Capitalism..... it won't last, it can't last
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-24277277
The current US economic model based on capitalist ideology is unsustainable, if the US govt don't make changes soon the decision will be taken out of their hands, a run on the US$ is a lot closer than you think.

NFL Week 4: Pick 'em--Do Must-Win Games Exist in Week 4? And Who Stays Undefeated?
We kick things off tonight as Colin Kaepernick, Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers hope to remind folks why they were the NFC Champions last year...by playing one of the teams who gave them the most trouble last year, the Rams! The 0-3 Giants try and prove they're not dead (yet) against the Alex Smith, Andy Reid and the surprisingly-alive Chiefs...and a battle of undefeated teams on MNF, the Saints and ...Dolphins??? Let's get started, Week 4--PICK 'EM!

Obi's Picks:

SF@STL: Oh, please, please, please right the ship...NINERS??? (Please!)
BAL@BUF: The Bills challenge, but the RAVENS have the staying power to win it
CHI@DET: Detroit needs this more than Chicago does...LIONS at home in an upset
IND@JAC: The COLTS win again, and their case for a division title looks ever-stronger
PIT@MIN: ...I've been burned by both teams this year...I'll go VIKINGS (so they're jinxed)
CIN@CLE: The BENGALS win in a laugher, but no one's laughing at Cincy now
SEA@HOU: I can't help it...biased, wishful thinking...please, please, please, TEXANS!
NYG@KC: The CHIEFS officially arrive in proper, the G-men face a long season already
ARI@TB: Even the fans of the teams playing probably don't care--CARDINALS
NYJ@TEN: The JETS keep at least one New York team in (pseudo) contention
DAL@SD: This isn't the NFC East's year...upset again, and the CHARGERS take it
PHI@DEN: The BRONCOS answer any questions about who's #1 in the NFL right now
WAS@OAK: The REDSKINS finally get on track...the question is, is it already too late?
NE@ATL: I think this might be the year the roof starts to cave in a bit on the Pats--FALCONS
MIA@NO: A risk, but I think they've finally arrived, and are set to take over for the Brady Bunch, this year or the next--the DOLPHINS win and move to 4-0 for the first time in...forever.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
26 Sep 13 UTC
SF@STL: 49ers, but only because the Rams are struggling too.
BAL@BUF: Ravens in a blowout.
CHI@DET: The Bears are better. They'll win.
IND@JAC: Too early to talk division titles. Jacksonville can still win it for all we know. But they won't and they'll continue on their noble quest to go 0-16.
PIT@MIN: Vikings.
CIN@CLE: Cincinnati is a damn good team but....... the BROWNS will pull the divisional upset.
SEA@HOU: I'm thinking Seattle wins, but it'll be close. The Texans won't look like they did last week against Baltimore, that's for certain.
NYG@KC: The Chiefs and Giants apparently switched roles in the NFL's hierarchy this year and the Chiefs will win in a blowout.
ARI@TB: Tampa in a low scoring, close game.
NYJ@TEN: The Titans are pretty good; the Jets are a fluke. I'll go Titans.
DAL@SD: The Cowboys will beat the Chargers, Obi. Give me a break.
PHI@DEN: Denver will win in an offensive shootout.
WAS@OAK: The Raiders won't win a single game if Pryor isn't playing.
NE@ATL: Patriots are damn good and they'll win.
MIA@NO: New Orleans dethrones the Dolphins.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
26 Sep 13 UTC
SF@STL: Niners
BAL@BUF: Ravens
CHI@DET: Go Bears!!
IND@JAC: Colts
PIT@MIN (in London): Steelers
CIN@CLE: Bengals
SEA@HOU: Seattle
NYG@KC: Chiefs
ARI@TB: Cardinals
NYJ@TEN: Titans
DAL@SD: Chargers
PHI@DEN: Broncos.. omg the Broncos
WAS@OAK: Redskins
NE@ATL: Falcons
MIA@NO: Saints.

We can bet the (not-so) all-important +1 on it, bo_sox...

The Chargers almost pulled it out against the Eagles, and I'm no believer in the Cowboys, they'll win the division, but only because they're the pick of a bad lot...

So a +1 bet on Cowboys/Chargers, lol? :p
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
26 Sep 13 UTC
Sure, let's do it. Why not..
SF@STL: Rams have talent, but they're struggling. 49ERS right the ship.
BAL@BUF: The Bills need consistency on offense. RAVENS take the day in a close one.
CHI@DET: Da BEARS are far too good to lose this one.
IND@JAC: COLTS. Never in doubt
PIT@MIN: I'm gonna say VIKINGS win and keep their wildcard hopes alive
CIN@CLE: The Browns are better than people give them credit. BENGALS win though, in a very close one.
SEA@HOU: Best team in the NFC wins here. SEAHAWKS
NYG@KC: GIANTS turn things around. They have to one of these days. There are just so many weapons on that team.
ARI@TB: New QB gets a rough initiation. CARDINALS
NYJ@TEN: The TITANS show that they're a pretty good team this year
DAL@SD: Unfortunately.....COWBOYS
PHI@DEN: The BRONCOS stomp Philly in a blowout
WAS@OAK: The REDSKINS win in a close one. Poor Oakland
NE@ATL: You know, I may regret this, but upset of the week PATRIOTS win
MIA@NO: A close one, but Miami isn't quite good enough to beat Brees.....yet. Also, the Saints defense is quietly one of the best in the league now. SAINTS
Zachattack413 (1231 D)
26 Sep 13 UTC
SF@STL: The RAMS had Kap figured out last year, and I think it continues tonight in an upset
BAL@BUF: RAVENS win, but offense continues to struggle
CHI@DET: BEARS jump out to an early lead, Lions make it close in garbage time, but the more talented team wins out
IND@JAC: The COLTS destroy the hapless Jags
PIT@MIN: Both of these teams have struggled, but I go VIKINGS with the best RB in football
CIN@CLE: BENGALS handle the browns with ease
SEA@HOU: Seahawks continue to struggle on the road, HOUSTON wakes up
NYG@KC: CHIEFS continue to surprise, but I think a lot of it has to do with the early schedule
ARI@TB: I need the muscle hamster to get going. BUCS
NYJ@TEN: Surprising TITANS use home field to their advantage
DAL@SD: Romo continues his solid play and DALLAS wins
PHI@DEN: Peyton Manning continues his pursuit of flawlessness and proving he's the better Manning. DENVER
WAS@OAK: REDSKINS win, but Pryor continues to look decent
NE@ATL: Hard to win in ATLANTA, especially with a young receiver core, FALCONS
MIA@NO: Tough to go into New Orleans. Dolphins fight hard, but Brees > Tannehill SAINTS
Zachattack413 (1231 D)
27 Sep 13 UTC
I'm still not buying the Seahawks hype. I just don't think they play nearly as well on the road, and if they can't win four games on the road, which I don't think they will, they won't be the one seed, which means they have to win on the road in the playoffs against an elite teams. I'm calling they finish 11-5, but I have been wrong before, and they do have a great defense.

All right Obi, you win... damn lucky, but I can't say I'm sad to see the Cowboys lose.

I'm starting to think that the Manning brothers have been planning how many touchdowns and picks they are going to throw per season for awhile now. They split them pretty evenly. This year Peyton must have won a bet or something so he's taking them all away from Eli.

Makes sense now.

Can a European legally buy/wear a gun in America...
...without doing anything special other than being in America, being over 21 and paying for the gun? Also if you can, is this regular bussiness? Are there, like, gun shops near airports so all the foreigners coming in can rent/buy guns?

i think i am going to vomit. the navy is now allowing mixed caps in its communications. once a bastion of all-caps, the organization was inflicted this year with the plague of mixed caps that has infiltrated society. almost as disgusting as the mixed-caps road signs.

bought off tech corporations: how we get to 1984!
are you one of those naive people thinking that if your computer is off and not connected to the internet that you cannot be spied upon? http://www.infowars.com/91497/
so... apparently modern intel processors have the ability to (assuming your computer is plugged in, or is a laptop with a battery in it) be turned on remotely, and can be controlled through a secret backdoor 3G capability that you do not have access to.

Problem with gameID=126551
Italian player of game ID=126551 claim that "The moves done by the site algorithm was not the ones [he] did", write a global message and leaves the game!
I don't know if someone could verify that, but is it possible to put the game in such a mode where a new player could pick up his country ? The game is in Spring 1902 and the situation of Italy is fine. Thx

Scary parts of the Affordable Care Act
If you aren't American the particulars of the ACA don't affect you. If you are American you need to educate yourself on the truly scary nature of the law leaving completely aside the political debate. It is the law and it has real consequences for Americans.
