I played one of the Might and Magic games, and it was fantastic, but no matter how I built my characters, two or three of them would gradually become totally useless compared to the rest as they levelled.
This about fits with my experience. The only way to prevail against the might of a major corporation is to have another major corporation in your corner.
How about this: I love the US, I don't know whether Chavez is bad, but I do know it was bad for us to support the coup, and good of Chavez to defeat it *and* subsequently submit himself to an at least somewhat fair election.
I also like it when someone comes to power in a nation with lots of wealth but enormous poverty and tries to spread some of the wealth to the masses, a healthy, wealthy populous maybe key for moving from backwater to world power.
When we got our first Athlon 1 GHz a few years ago, it was about 3 times faster at floating point operations than the P-3 500Mhz that had been our top number cruncher.
No kidding. Just assuming your parents love you is childish. Some people are incabable of love, while some people are quite capable of faking it for years. Furthermore, it's quite possible to fall out of love with a child.
Also, love is a poorly defined word. Even if your parents "love" you, it surely does not mean to them what you think it means. I would say that "love" is a hideously defined word that has several unrelated meanings, many of them hopelessly abstract, and is unsuitable for statements of fact.
I suspect that the grandparent poster knows something about his parents intuitively that is true (they really do "love" him), but that he hasn't been able to verbalize it in a way that is discriptive enough for others to understand his meaning without imposing their own concepts of an abstract word. If at some point he is able to describe his parents' connection with him in a more concrete fashion, the statement would also be easier to test.
I don't see how God could be omniscient and still think the choices we make are interesting, since he to him they appear scripted just like bad RPG NPCs. But the moment he makes the script interesting, with some fuzzy or random or chaotic function, then the devoloper loses his omniscience, since he can't possibly know what his own creation will do next.
I have yet to see a half way low priced linux laptop with a built in wireless adapter when these days all of the lowest budget Windows laptops have them.
People around here steal laptops, not bothering with the chargers, then sell them for 20 bucks a pop. You could sell this at 20 bucks just as easily as a 2000 dollar Dell.
Heck, if you want to use DNA to study protein folding, why not just code the protein in DNA, mixit up with some transcriptase, some ribosomes, some RNA and some amino acids and fold the darn thing?
It seems like a safe path to me. Push out only rehashed content, build up an unrivaled ball of cash, and buy up any creative content that manages to break through.
I was just funning. Given the nature of the game, I wouldn't blame anyone for cheating, and you're right, what does it matter in single player?
When I discovered Nethack, I went back and "beat" rogue by savescumming. It was boring. It may be possible that you'll get more enjoyment for longer out of the game by not doing that.
What I don't understand is why people don't understand that this is a game and should be treated as such.
Where there's money to be mad, someone will show up to make it.
Same here, been playing Rogue or Nethack since 1984 and 14th level is just about my max, and rarely achieved, too. Of course, it's the impossibility and shear cussedness of the game that gets me to go back to it year after year.
What's the problem with having multiple name systems as long as you can switch easily from one to the other? If I want to have fun and stick it to the man, I'll use the open unregulated system. When I want to know where I'm going, I'll use the corporate controlled system. Heck, you could even modify URLs to indicate which name resolution scheme it uses.

You can prove this. Try not typing it and see what the aliens can do about it.
If Jesus was sacrificed for our sins, who sacrificed him, and who was he sacrificed to?

Sure glad we avoided that problem.
Will Bruce Willis even by alive by then?
What leads you to that conclusion?
Just get tires with a larger radius.

So, do you believe in the omniscient God, or not? If so, why did he make man to fall?

That's because in Plutocrat Russia, the T.V. owns *you*!
The problem with "couldn't care less" is it's just too cumbersome to say, whom?

Well, is that a change in the instruction set, or just a different optimization of the same instruction set?
