Unfortunately torrentz.eu takes a big hit to certain searches due to DMCA requests, it even says at the bottom of a page how many results have been removed. It's a real shame, and it would be nice to have an indexer on Tor or Freenet t

An example of these just-so stories from another culture is nihonjinron (日本人論). It's the study of Japanese people, and often propped up by pseudoscience or explanations based in evolution that are impossible to verify.

The style is fascinating; it has a certain aesthetic that I just love about it. This reminds me so much of the cover on one of Momus' early albums, The Poison Boyfriend (1987): http://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/20

Knowing it's the UK, it might even be a picture of a drawing depicting a childlike character engaged in a sexual act; it doesn't even have to be of a real child - it could even be something plucked from the artist's imaginati

I can confirm that radeon gives much better performance than it did even a year ago. Anecdotally, I used to get a maximum on 30 fps on a 2003 first person shooter game. Now I can easily get 125 stable with the latest drivers, or at least 71

It's unclear if I will be able to license the code I post in answers as I see fit - or if SO is forcing me to use a certain license. I don't want my code to be used in proprietary projects.
