"The Pyrates" by George MacDonald Fraser (he of Flashman.) It's good. Quite funny. Very idiosyncratic writing style. Bit Pynchonesque, only not s**t.

May I ask what you mean by modding consoles? "Using hacktools developed by others." Script kiddie stuff. Unless, by some unlikely chance, the person talking is one of the rare few who genuinely hack into console firmware for kicks using mad programming skillz, in which case kudos and (grey) hats off.

Okay, cool. The military stuff confused me when it was changed a while back, and I never really got to grips with it (plus it was buggy) but I've got the basics down now, so here goes: The basics : First you need to appoint a militia commander.

Can you tell me whay, phonic? That would help me understand why I was considered dumb after IQ tests when I was a child. Person who invented the IQ test, told people not to use it for measuring. That a good enough answer? After long study of the phenomenon here, I've determined that people with ASD...

I've been recently hearing and reading that it's just a made up disorder for pharmaceutical companies to milk money. Standard memetics; take something you don't like, take a group of people you don't like, and invent some absurd and fanciful way in which the one are profiting from the other. You ge...

For a while ...
