| I don't know what actually happened there, but I suspect there was just some miscommunication. | |||

| What you would need to do is something like this:
At the end of your header (where u is the location of the border image, and n is the thickness of the border): <table><tr style="background:url(u);padding:n"><td> And at the start of your signature: </td></tr></table> Atleast I think that should work. |

| Oh, sorry, I didn't think that one completely through.
Instead of putting the signature part at the beginning the code put it just after </span>, also, just after the code you add, put a </td>, (that's supposed to be there, but I accidently left it out of the code generated by the layout maker) Then, instead of the other code I said to put at the end of the header, put this (where u2 is the location of the background image of the text box, and where p is the amount of padding you want between the inside of the text box and your text): <table style="padding:0;margin:0;"><tr style="background:url(u);padding:n"><td style="background:url(u2);padding:p"> Then go to the last tag in the header (not counting the ones you added) find the style attribute, and remove background:url(n);, and padding:n; (Where n is whatever happens to be there). Hopefully all that make sense. |

| The thing is, you disagree with him, and I can understand that, I do too. But the truth still is that he's better informed then 90% of the people who come here, and you don't think they're idiots, just because they happen to agree with you. But if this were a forum with a more neoconservitive slant, he'd be "right", and you'd be the uninformed idiot.
Also, after reading through this unnessicarily long thread (and it wasn't easy, given the broken quote tags, lack of line breaks between quotes and replies, and the use of backticks instead of single quotes), I've noticed that although you and Arwon have generally said Koryo's plan wouldn't work and would like destabilize the region, you yet to specifically say why you think it wouldn't work and why you think it would destabilize the region. So, I guess I'll say why I think it wouldn't work. (The rest of this is directed to Koryo) First of all, there's the issue of dropping food loaded with propaganda. Although this is the least aggressive part of your plan, it's still far too aggressive for the situation. KJI is clearly very paranoid, and the whole reason for building his large military and weapons program is because he wants to stay isolated. South Korean or American planes flying in and dropping anything would likely only make tensions in the region much worse. You say you don't want a second Korean War, but moves like this is exactly the type of thing that would lead to it. I agree that it would likely slow recruitment into the NK military, but people are rather useless, without reasonable supplies, which is the very purpose of economic sanctioning. Secondly, theres giving nukes to Japan (or even merely threatening to do so). To me, this seems like a really bad idea. As it stands now, North Korea's nuclear program is rather uncalled for. However, if we start talking about giving nuclear weapons to a country in the region that they consider an enemy, it suddenly gets a small amount of justification. If there is any hope of disarming North Korea, through diplomacy or sanctions, it will go away as soon we talk about arming their enemies. If anything, this action would likely cause NK to step up its weapons program. Finally, if North Korea were to invaded South Korea, the US, should be there to defend SK, but this shouldn't be used as an opportunity to invade North Korea. With the help of the US, the North Korean forces could likely be pushed back behind the DMZ with a minimum (speaking relatively) of casualties, with a minimum risk of destablizing the region (atleast no more than allowing NK to have it way with SK). However, a full invasion into North Korean would likely cause massive casualties, and comes with it the possiblity of or a larger conflict with China. And although you're probably right that "China will not win", that's not really the issue. The huge economic fallout and ridiculous casualities that would be suffered on both side would make it simply not worth it. Even after the war, it would be a long time before relations between the US and its allies and China would recover. The last thing we need is Cold War II. Realistically the only way of dealing with North Korea is through containment and the slow weakening of their military through heavy sanctioning. The path to containment is through China. You're right when you say that North Korea would only attack South Korea if they felt they could win. But they know if they attack South Korea now, at the very least the US would be there, and even crazy KJI knows that's a battle he can't win. However, if he feels he can be backed up by China, he would be more likely to do something stupid. Like its been said in this thread already, you're misreading China's intentions. Although not likely to become a completely free and open society any time soon, the market is becoming more capitalist (and has been for quite a while) and the government is slowly loosening it grip on the flow of information. Basically The Party doesn't want China to be a giant North Korea, poor and isolated with the rest of the world breathing down its collective neck. They're on the path to becoming an economic superpower, and the last thing they need is this nut in North Korea slowing them down. So US and its allies in the region should work towards improving relations with China, and encourage them to make it clear to NK that they will not support any actions that might destabilize the region. Of course, beyond that, we can't really just sit back and expect the situation will resolves itself. With the isolation a popular uprising is unlikely, and it's even less likely, with the size of the North Korean military, that it would be successful. If KJI does lose power, it would most likely come through a military coup. Which would probably make matters much worse, since, although KJI may be content to build a large army and weapons program just to feel secure in his miserable little corner of the world, this wouldn't nessicarily be the goals of the generals that take charge. So this is where economic sanctioning comes it. By weaken the military by depriving it of essential commodities needed to build and maintain its forces through tough economic sanctioning, and loosening its ties to its allies, we can essentually neutralize the threat of North Korea. Except, of course, for the human rights issues. I obviously feel bad that the North Koreans live in the state they do. And I tend to believe when you are capable of doing good, there's an inheritant responsibity to do so. I just question our capability to do so. And if you list all the problems in the world that the US could help with, starting with the ones that we can do the most good with the least risk of causing more damage, liberating North Korea wouldn't even rank in the top ten. |

Originally posted by Plus Sign Abomination I'm speaking relatively. They obviously haven't completely released their grip, very far from it. I'm aware of censorship of the internet, but the internet is still relatively new, so although there may be more censorship there, that's only because it simply didn't exist before. Really though, I'm more talking more about the flow of information within the country. Although, the media is still technically controlled by the government, it doesn't really "own" it to the same extent. Given that they have to provide their own funding, media outlets are more likely to try to push the limits on what they can say. And The Party seems to be giving them some lead way. There is obviously a line that can't be crossed, but that doesn't stop the media from coming right up to it. As for the future, I guess its just speculation, but with a growing middle class, new forms of communication, and increased globalization, I find it hard to believe that The Party can keep the 1.2 billion Chinese in the dark too much longer. Atleast not as much in the dark as they want them to be right now. |

| There's also governor races going on across the country. Here in Michigan it's between Republican Dick DeVos and incumbent Democrat Jennifer Granholm. The main issue has been the economy. Under Granholm the Michigan economy hasn't seen the same recovery as the rest of the country. However, it should be obvious to anyone who's lived in the area for awhile that the economic problems of Michigan have little to do with recession of the last few years.
GM and Ford are both in the red, and they simply can no longer support Michigan's massive manufacturing base. Especially when they can get the same cheap, low precision parts and components from China for a fraction of the cost. China's advantage is a large cheap work force, which is something Michigan will never be able to compete with. If we ever want to see a turn around in manufacturing, its going to take a huge investments in education, from current public schools, to the creation and funding of public trade and engineering schools. Basically, we need to move away from the old "bang out as many sprockets as possible" mentality to high end precision medical and industrial work. It will take considerable spending on the state governments part, spending I just don't believe a Republican controlled government is willing to support, especially when they can rely on quick first solutions like the recent repealing of the Single Business Tax, which with require huge cuts in social spending that still won't completely cover the loss of income, and will likely only make matters worse in the long run. This is why I won't vote for DeVos (or any Republican for that matter). That and he used to run Amway (so basically, he was a con-artist for a living), and he has excessively whiny campaign ads. |

| Well, I finally finished the new version. On the surface it looks the same, but there are some major differences:
1. The color, border, font and image menus now work more like normal drop boxes. Click it to open it, choose an item or click somewhere else to close it. When you first close it you can still browse through the options using the up and down arrows on your keyboard, until you click somewhere else a second time. 2. The light blue boxes that contain options for configuring fonts and borders now open when you click on it and close when you click somewhere else. 3. On the output tab there is now a save button. The first time you click it after opening the page it will ask for a name for your layout, and then a password (do not use special characters). If this is the first time saving to that name it will set the password, to save over it you will have to enter the same password. Once it's been saved once it won't ask for a password until you leave and come back. You can also hit ctrl+alt+s to save. This way, the first time it will ask for a name and password, after that it will save to the last used name and password. 4. On the output tab there is now a load button. Click it and enter the name of a previously saved layout to load it into the editor. You do not need the password to load a layout. 5. On the output tab there is now a manual edit button. When you click it, if you haven't yet saved it ask you to do so, if you have it will ask if you want to save again or edit the last saved version, then it will open your layout in the manual editor. For this to work, you will have to allow pop-ups from puzzlebag.com. The manual editor is a separate editor that can be accessed directly here. Under Edit CSS, Edit Header, and Edit Signature is the code for the layout. You can manually edit it and see the changes by clicking where it says update in the upper right. After you get it looking like you want it you can click on output and copy the code from there into your profile. Don't copy the code from the edit tabs, the board will convert the line breaks into break tags and screw it up. You can also load other layouts into the manual editor that you saved in the main layout maker by clicking where it says load at the upper right. 6. The vertical sliders now line up even after you make the layout bigger. 7. I fix a bunch of little bugs. This will be the last version aside from bug fixes. Try it out. |

Originally posted by King Booigi-San By default the images along around the main text box will tile both vertically and horizontally, unless you pick one of the options under "fill". So when you make a long post it will tile the sky and ground over and over on each side of it. Instead you should have the part where the ground meets the sky in the bottom image and set that to stretch, then just have sky in the top left and right images, and set those to tile. Unless you left the page open you'll have to start over to do this, since I don't see your layout in the save folder. So, if you remake it you should probably save it. |

| I'm pretty sure they can just order the wiis from another company. Anyway, as far as this site goes, it's not really a scam, but if you do the math it's highly unlikely for anyone even on the second tier of one of these "conga lines" (or whatever they're called) to actually get one. | |||

| I like the "Not superlative in the container/group" statements for saying someone isn't too smart. I mean, you got your common ones like "Not the sharpest knife in the drawer", and "Not the brightest crayon in the box". But you can really use anything. "Not the shiniest car on the lot", "Not the fastest sled on the hill", "Not the biggest book on the shelf", "Not the most oil producing country in OPEC"...etc.. |
