She was a terrible prime minister who stigmatised single mothers as the cause of society's problems, who instituted Section 28, and who firmly declared herself as an enemy of feminists.

I would look at Invincible as more of a model.

I don't know what you mean. The country never got to choose between Obama and Bush, so this is irrelevant. Besides, Bush's first action as president was to remove funding for any charity, domestic or foreign, that was connected to abortion and contraception provision, so it's too simplistic to say Obama has simply…

Islam was already the religion of the region. The type of Islam that the Ayatollah brought with him was a concession of the people, not a request. Was the US sliding towards fundamentalist Christian lunatics when it elected Bush Jr? If anything, it had been moving away from the nuttier neo-con relationship with…

I can't see any way to frame it except to blame the UK, US and other western powers. Iran's democratically elected leader Mossaddegh was overthrown by an MI6/CIA coup because he wanted to make Iran's natural resources the permanent property of the people and only use the profits for social programmes to better the…

It's not 100% relevant, but this is so good I have to post it somewhere (expand so you can see it properly, because there's a great touch on the right-hand character):

I can't paint it as just a right wing thing, either. It was pretty grim seeing how many people were claiming to be (cough) "as liberal as they come, but..." complained about Chelsea Manning's request for hormone treatment. It's fine if she pays for it, they said, but they were angry AS TAXPAYERS about it coming out of…

Bad idea to compare him to JT. I hope the press release isn't making those kinds of claims. This wouldn't exist without Timberlake's records, and the songwriting and performance isn't remotely as good as the best JT material (not much better than the worst, either).

I honestly think a big part of the hostility is that the system was called "free to play". People will always feel like it's a con trick, even though it's technically true (and besides, even in the worst cases of a hobbled game that's literally impossibly to enjoy until you break down some early pay barriers to…

Worse still, this news would probably make a lot of anti-choice people want to simply take away women's right to sue in cases like this, or at the very least make them think the women who sue should be ashamed of themselves for taking "my taxes".

She hopes it will "refute some common misconceptions about truck drivers as a community."

Haha!

Oh there are classics in the bad lion art genre (it is a genre if I say it is, right?):

It's from the Portraiture section of the Museum Of Bad Art: http://www.museumofbadart.org/coll1/image10.…

You'd buy this. Don't try and tell me you wouldn't.

Thanks. How does it work at the moment with a standard desktop application? Does it move a 640x480 window-within-a-window around the larger resolution page with your head movement, or does it only show you a 480p version of the entire screen?

Richard: a suggestion...

I think it's only really a problem for long movie sessions, and it's not as if anyone was really recommending the Rift for movies anyway. This is more of a "what if... ?", and I expect thousands of people have wondered what it would be like to occasionally choose to watch a film in this way. By the sound of things, it…
