  1. Re:I don't on Reviewers Pile On World Of Warcraft Beta · · Score: 1

    Warlords Battlecry had 9 races. broken into 3 elves, 3 civilised and 3 other. Each group was FUNDAMENTALLY different, with more but slighter differences between each race within a group.

    W:BC 2 had 12 races. better retract dude.

  2. Re:Misplaced priorities on Anti-Game Violence Lawyer Profiled · · Score: 1

    Good point -- maybe Movies and TV need better violence and 'sexually explicit' warnings and policing.
    Can't argue with that. I'm all for better censorship across the board. Standards ahve gotten a little too low for my liking.

    On the Bible/Talmud/Koran depicting murder, rape and adultery. 'Tis true, BUT calling it graphic is a stretch... The Bible never tries to 'tabboo' a subject.. it speaks of things openly and God is always interested in showing the reader the right way to do things..

    wouldn't work too well if he said -" 1.no stealing; 2. no swearing; 3. no doing that stuff that is really bad and when you're not married and don't force anyone to do it either or especially before your married - yeah, so just keep that in mind.. alright thanks. umm where was I. oh yeah! 4. no more bowing to rocks and stuff..."

    deos that do some light shedding?!!?

  3. Re:Unfortunately.... on Where are the 'Construction Set' Games? · · Score: 1

    Gee lighten up dude!!
    Looks like we're gonna be seeing people getting sued for making politically-incorrect jokes.

    The marble thing is simply a crazy way of referring to natural selection. INSTEAD - I think it's you with the attitude problem.
    You just crucified a guy for making a joke, even sinking so low as to suggest he needs help bringing up his children.

    That, my friend, is taking yourself waayyyyy to seriously.

  4. Re:First understand the subject, then write about on What Will Human Cloning Mean For Humanity? · · Score: 1
    Actually i think you need to grow up and stop putting this issue on par with issues like, lipo-suction for the clinically dead.
    this is a real issue - we don't know if souls are cloned along with the flesh..

    in the case of twins God bestows 2 souls, so cloning is far removed multiple birth circumstances.
    it is entirely probable that we cannot clone a soul so what kind of life are we really giving when we 'grow' a human clone.

    THAT is what sparks the question "Can we properly bestow life??"

    As for step by step to doom .... well its only a side issue, but what if clones are completely soul-less; based on mans ability to be humane, they would end up being mass produced and used as a consumable item. there's probably even people here who don't think THIS is a bad thing..

  6. Missing the point on Correlations Between Video Games And Academic Achievement? · · Score: 1
    I think most people are missing the point.

    the correlation to be found is not between computer game play and it's effects on educational pursuits.


    They are trying to find a correlation between 'skill' in computer games AND 'skill' in academic things.
    so while we all know that playing games does nothing to help your studies, Can we say that people who are compotent at video games are usually successful in those same studies (so long as they don't play games to often)
    it's not that hard is it

  7. MAYBE on Nokia's $400 Linux Terminal For The Masses · · Score: 1

    I hope you were being sarcastic with that crack about the 'Hacker-friendly yadad... finally here!! Matt

  8. well don't RF beat all. on Remote Telemetry With Your PC? · · Score: 1
    I'd stick with RF... it's more fun. What you want is some of our RF modules..
    1000feet is easy.
    but you could probably build your own.
    use Radiometrix RF modules. http://www.radiometrix.co.uk/

    their about AU$100 @.. but very very very easy to use.
    anyway, Infrared is boring and so's cabling.

  9. Why'd did you say that?? on Nanotechnology And The Law of Accelerating Returns · · Score: 1

    "I believe that things like perception and reasoning are beyond the scope of raw power." I wouldn't be surprised if you only said this so you could be quoted in 10 years as saying it because it was so wrong and naive and massively stupid. but then maybe you really think that. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, but I reserve a space in my brain to allow things to happen that I don't expect. Matt

  10. not a new debate... but a new approach. on Why Does The Universe Exist? · · Score: 1

    Well how incredible it is too find a debate of creation v. God-less beginning. I could never convince anyone that God exists. But then I don't want too. You see, belief in creation doesn't get you to heaven. But I do feel immensly sorry for all you people who suffer at the hands of your intellect. If only you would acknowledge the truth before Jesus returns. Deep inside everyone is a knowledge of the truth.. Romans chapter 1 explains that no-one is without excuse because since the beginning it has been plain for all that God created the world. i pray that you would all see things through uncomplicated eyes. Then the question "Why??" is simple. a creative, expressive God.. with a desire to be surrounded by people that loved him.
