This makes it pretty obvious to me. Look at the levels people are reaching...
The levels are Student, Apprentice, Journeyman, Scribe... we'll stop there cause no one has gotten and further.
Now, looking at architecture, the highest level reached is apprentice. Art & Music, NO ONE RANKS,
Body? Yeah, some apprentices here (you have to have a good body to fight)
Leadership, one Journeyman...
Thought, a few students
Worship, a decent amount here, not playing the game, I dont' know what benefits this gives.
Conflict: Wow, 8 people have made it to j'man here. Only worship scores higher.
So, the two most desired attributes are to be a good fighter and to be worshiped. Tells me that a non-fighting game is doomed.
I'll admit, I haven't played (well, I played the first when it was free) I'm getting all my info from the chart, so I may be all washed up.
When posting a link to the download mirror, don't post the original location first. Don't post it at all. In this case, everyone see's that.iso and clicks it. Server dead. Yes, there's a mirror page, but it's hosted on the same server, so... mirror page dead. In this case people are even getting frustrated and clicking other link and killing it too. Remember, link to mirrors, link to lists of mirrors, never link to disk images!
I would say that the short load times in the original were not due to the better optimization, but just the side effect of smaller textures, fewer polies, smaller maps...Common sense tells us that if they got it right the first time, they'd make it better the second time. But then again, common sense doesn't apply to programming until you know ALL the details.
That's what I was thinking. Sure, living in a medium south east US town has it's downfalls... we don't get FTTP as soon as everyone else, yeah there's hurricanes and tornados... But I can drive straight through town at 5:00pm on friday and be sitting down eating dinner before 5:30.
Two hours a day? I MIGHT spend that much time on the road in one week.
Ok, if these guys are so worried about piracy, where do they get off stealing macromedia's website?
If you bring them up side by side, it's pretty obvious they copied their layout. No, it wasn't a direct file copy. Macromedia's site is better, more Anti-aliased, better colors, cleaner. But it's pretty clear what their designers were looking at while they designed the site.
No kidding. I'm sick of the dang serif font. This site needs some cleanup, and it can be done WITHOUT increasing load times. and the thousands of K that could be saved by getting rid of [FONT SIZE="2"] would be great.

yeah, that's the offending piece. First time that's ever happened. ugh, doubleclick. I wouldn't have expected an error since it's flash driven, but it's probably because it's doubleclick.
Please, ignore these 2 posts.
Ok, go ahead and mod me off-topic.
I'm suddenly, for the first time getting a message about an active-x control on this page. (yeah, IE, got to have it for business reasons, get off my back)
I doubt this is flash, because I never get any notifications about flash... Anyone else getting this? Is it something new?
Why do people bother posting stuff like this? Of course the first thing that's going to happen, is everyone clicks on the video. A few billion hits to their server, and bam, no more server.
There's no way anyone can keep a 5.5MB video going against this type of traffic. Posters just need to expect that and don't inlcude links to movies. Just let the users find it and the site may have a chance.
It should read "There will be a 5.5MB video available sometime after this story falls off the front page of/."
What if the page is deleted, not changed

My biggest problem is when I follow a link to a website that's no longer there. Yeah, moved pages happen, but I don't think they happen as often as deleted pages, expired domains, deleted websites, etc.
I'm a little rusty on wireless, but lets see...
There are 11 possible channels. Say a dorm room has 50 kids in it and half of them have an AP.
Who's going to get called when they all start clashing? The university tech dept....
Ok, I have a college degree, but not in science. After reading the article, my head's swiming in gigapascals and moles.
Here's my idiot's summary:
They mix it with some stuff, get it really hot, and cool it down really fast (in water), but not as fast as some other stuff, and you can kinda see through it, but looking at the pics, not very well.
I was feeling pretty stupid until I noticed this was on physicsweb.com. That made me feel better. At least I understand the stuff posted on devshed and onlamp...
You know, cigarett lighters have had docks in cars for a long time. I know that I can use the same lighter in my 94 altima and my wife's 00 montero or my dad's 67 caddie or his old 82 datsun.
Now why can't apple make a dock for an ipod that will last for at least 10 years. On the other hand, no one expects that the ipod they bought in 2010 will work with the BMW they bought in 2004. Either way, I stand by my dock argument.
Yes, a dock. Who said it has to be out in the open. If security is such a concern, hell put a dock in the glove compartment. Open it up, slide in iPod, close compartment. Or maybe the dock can be in the center console. Or maybe it can be in the dash wher the ipod slides all the way in, and a door covers it up. No one can see if it's there or not.
It sure as hell beats trying to fumble around with a little cable in the dark, trying to figure which end is up, getting it lined up and then just throwing it in the glove compartment. That just seems like an unfinished product to me.
Come on, you have to plug in a cable and throw it in the glove compartment? What a hack! I could modify my car to do that, and put an LCD screen on the dash to show me what I'm playing. Hell, you can probably buy that already.
Before I watched the video, I though the BMW would have some sort of dock that either I sat my iPod in, or even cooler, a slot, like a tape deck, that I shoved my ipod in. Now THAT would be cool. This is not what I call "Seamless integration"
I think in the future car stereo's are going to come with a media bay, just like printers do now. I slap in my SD/xD/MMC/Memory Stick or whatever and the stero reads the ID3's and playlists. Off I go.
And laptops will come with built in FM transmitters to broadcast their audio to my home entertainment center or car stereo... I would love to sit in my living room, play a FPS and have it all come out the stereo. No Wires.

Opps, wait, no. I mistyped... that's supErnova.org. That's pretty crappy of them to steal suprnova's good name...
I just went to check on Suprnova to see if it's been taken down because of this, but today it has become a For Pay site! Sad day....

Well, actually, now I have firefox installed and I see that it is JUST news/email. So, still what's Mozilla's relation to firefox?
Ok, Firefox appears to tbe just the web browser. I have that installed.
Now, is thunderbird just the email/newsreader, or is it the email/news/web browser all together, like netscape communicator.
And then there's Mozilla, which is at version 1.7 or so. What's up with that? Where does it stand in relation to Firefox?
This is so exciting, I'm going to fire up my copy of photoshop right now and make them a great splash screen! ;)

On a side note, you have no idea how long it took me to make slashcode accept those &-lt;'s and &-gt;'s
