  1. Re:Porno Style on 007 Dis(Gold)members Austin Powers · · Score: 1

    Yep, that'd be the one. Thanks.

  2. Re:Porno Style on 007 Dis(Gold)members Austin Powers · · Score: 1

    There was an anime porn based on star wars that was taken to court not that long ago... I beleive they won actually... or had the case tossed out.

    Can't remember the name of it...

  3. Re:But if someone DOES get encased in it... on Transparent Concrete · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why do I get this image in my head now... upon the first body found in trnsparent concreat...

    Guy - Hey, what's that in there... a body?
    Modbster type - No see... it's a work of art, to give the place a more... casual appearanc .

  4. Re:Hmm... on Transparent Concrete · · Score: 1

    Well, with how often the police drege the river and lake bottoms, there's just too much chances of being caught dumping cement shoed people down there...

  5. Re:But what about the birds? on Transparent Concrete · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Think of this way... advanced natural selection.

    The only question is, will the birds die off before an effective way for them to naigate arises...

  6. Hmm... on Transparent Concrete · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, it's nice to see innovation within the construction sector isn't dead. Even for something that seems so off the wall as transparent (or currently, translucent) concreat can give birth to innovative new designs and possibilities from architechs.

    I mean, I can just see a wall done with a bubble effect (with slighly differnt opacities in the aggitates and clear binding coumpound).

    Only thing is, once transparent concreate is perfected... how are the mobsers going to get rid of bodies if they can't throw them in the foundation of a new building anymore...

  7. Re:focus on quality of RPG's? on BioWare Has Neverwinter Publisher · · Score: 1
    Haven't gotten to play Torment actually... never managed to find a copy.


    Only a human GM can handle players who want to do something that hasn't been prepared for.


    And here's where neverwinter nights comes in, the fact that there can be a human GM to script things and give the players a truly non liniar game.
  8. Re:focus on quality of RPG's? on BioWare Has Neverwinter Publisher · · Score: 1

    Truthfully, I haven't played the expansions. I pretty much swore off buying games soon after I bought BGII until Neverwnter Nights is released.

  9. Re:Do you think Loki..... on Last Word on Loki · · Score: 1

    Considering the fact that they licensed the titles, and it likely would be a serious breach for them to release the code...

    I'd say no.

  10. Re:focus on quality of RPG's? on BioWare Has Neverwinter Publisher · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hmm. Have you played bioware's games? Have you read about Neverwinter Nights?

    I don't consider BG I or II particuarly liniar, there's plenty of optional mini quests, and some others you can just ignore and explore onward..

    Neverwinter nights is going to be interesting, as it's being relased as a game, but also as a engine for people to make their own campains for it. Some will be bad, but some will be good.

  11. Well now... on Mac Thief Caught Thanks To Applescript & Timbuktu · · Score: 1

    Isn't it time to build a good web cam into the monitor?

    Think of the fun you could have with that...

  12. Re:If they're trying to train them to act like our on Mobile IT Education? · · Score: 1

    Actually armor plateing was rarely put on the van. There was usually some other thing to put the armor on...

  13. Re:Echo's.. on Antarctic Ice Sheet Growing? · · Score: 1

    Yeah. That I know, they get the best readings of this in the atlantic ocean, where the sea's expanding.

    However, the molecules would align with the magnetic field, as long as it was present, even if it wasn't particuarly strong... wouldn't it?

  14. Re:Echo's.. on Antarctic Ice Sheet Growing? · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, seeing that there's no real way to study how the change took place eons ago, what's happening now could be the same thing.

  15. Re:Echo's.. on Antarctic Ice Sheet Growing? · · Score: 1

    Hmm. I could be mistaken of course... seeing I just got off a 8.5 hour shift at work.

    Yeah, we're talking the same things, although i always though that the frequency of the magnetic shifts was much more common (relitively speaking) than millions of years.

    It's hard to imagine though, just what would cause a shift in a magnetic freild, expecially on one so huge as Earth.

  16. Re:Echo's.. on Antarctic Ice Sheet Growing? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure of the correlation between the two myself, I think that the flux of the magnetic field happens more than the ice ages, going by what I've read, so they're likely unrelated... or related through some way that hasn't been thought of yet.

  17. Re:Echo's.. on Antarctic Ice Sheet Growing? · · Score: 1

    Both.

    Interesting thing really, if you think about it. Ice ages are part of a natural cycle... now, with global warming, it just might be preventing the next ice age... for now at least...

    IANAS (I am Not a Scientist... so I could be way off the mark)

  18. Re:What comes next? on Powered Exoskeletons In The Near Future? · · Score: 1

    What? No mention of scantily clad cat girls? rrrwowl

  19. Re:Computergate on Where Can You Buy Jumpers? · · Score: 1

    Uh. No.

    $0.99 is actually the price per unit. In this case, a unit is a bag of 100 jumpers.

  20. Oooh.. one I can contribute to... on How Much Sleep Do You Really Need? · · Score: 1

    Well, personally I can function on anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours of sleep, depending on the previous day.

    Key things are: stay active, both in mind and body, if possible try to be in a cool temperature.. and if all else fails, it's time for a small snack.

  21. Re:Excellent! on Driver's Licenses to Become National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Well, I put that in a poor way. It should have been citizenship or legal residency.

  22. Re:Govt credits cards would be more like it on Driver's Licenses to Become National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Actually there's already credit cards with whoto ID's on 'em. I know Citibank does them...

  23. Re:Excellent! on Driver's Licenses to Become National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Due to the relations between the US and Canada, all that's required is proof of citizenship to cross the border, either way. Although it's much easier with photo ID (Drivers license, Pasport, Government issued ID card)

    In times past, even a Canadian Tire credit card could be used for it.

  24. Re:Eh? on Square, FFXI, and the MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Well, in Japan I beleive the title of the series translates to "Mystic Quest" (Belive I read that waaay back in a Nintendo power)

    Final Fantasy was.. .well, not a clue why they used it, suppose it sounds a lot less generic than Mystic Quest.

  25. Re:What can be done? on U.S. Penalizes Ukraine for Abetting 'Piracy' · · Score: 1

    Can't be. Manitoba's teleco, MTS is no longer owned by the government. It's a private company has been for a while now.
