  1. Re:Oh Really!!!? on Top 25 Censored Media Stories of 2003-2004 · · Score: 1

    I honestly am opposed to the SBVT adds and there actions. But on the other hand I find very little value in the majority of medals that are awarded in the military and the paper work that is made to support the award. I can't speak for the process that existed then but I know that a great deal of it is utter BS today. A man I worked with earned an award for fixing a massive database problem. What wasn't mentioned at all was that he made a truelly idiotic mistake to that created the problem in the first place. In a similiar vain my father earned a medal, I think a bronze star, in Vietnam when all he had done was fixed the AC for a commanding officers tent. He tries to through it out every couple of years and my mother digs it outa the trash and hides it again.

    In EQ you don't "need" to group to advance. It will take you far far longer with most classes, but even a Warrior can solo an exp giving mob.

  3. Re:Multi-cards vs multi-heads on Alienware Discuss New Video Array Technology For Gamers · · Score: 1

    Don't have anything to do with video cards but... Star Wars Galaxies has a way to increase your field of vision. You can also change the size of the game window I believe. It requires some messing around with config type files I think but I know I saw someone say that it was possible to get a full 360 degree view. But it would either be really really quished or you would need multiple monitors to span it across.

  4. Re:Sadly all to correct on Star Wars Galaxies Fanfest Addresses Wookie Mohawk Quandary · · Score: 2, Informative

    LOL it's a good thing you didn't start playing until recently. Pets, droids and vehicles used to be only callable from a camp, house or when in a city area. You can still call all of these things from a camp if you want them all out nearly instantly. As for roads. Why would you need them? it's Starwars where everyone uses speeders and land cruisers. No contact with the ground is required so why would you bother making a surface conducive to such? I do agree that the changes in terrain elevation on Dath are a bit extreme but aren't all that bothersome realy. And unless you have lived in a city all your life I can't see how you think the terrain on the other planets is unrealistically bumpy. The graphics engine isn't all that bad. I get the max of about 29fps most places I go unless there is an absolute shit ton of people present. The system requirements are pretty hefty and you might need to tweak your computer to handle it properly. Yeah the game has some pretty major things wrong with it but everyone seems to think those things are different I guess.

  5. Re:Doesn't obesity come with other symptoms though on Molecule Cuts Off Fat's Food Supply · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Trust me being skinny is incredibly over rated. Where I work I am required to maintain a certain level of physical fitness and it isn't even all that high of a standard. Nonetheless I was a much happier individual when I was 40 to 60 pounds over weight according to the doctors. I do not see the theoretical extra years I may live, as a result of being uncomfortable for extended periods every week, as worth it. I would much rather live a happy and comfortable 40 to 60 years as a fatass than 100 years while regularly subjecting myself to exercising for nothing but the purpose of extending an uncomfortable lifestyle. That being said I used to ride mountain bikes a lot and am getting back to that as a hobby and I might get skinnier as a side affect. But I can not fully express my low opinion of exercising for the sake of being in shape.

  6. Re:no wonder on New Solar Cells 20 Times Cheaper · · Score: 0

    I would actually guess that covering a chunk of the oceans the size of Alaska, even if it were lots of smaller platforms and not one big one, could cause some enviromental problems. Due to sunlight not reaching the oceans surface to heat it you could end up with a lot of cold spots. What I have also pondered is that if we did put solar farm in orbit and then sent the energy back to earth we could possibly speed up global warming in a way. Because we would be taking energy that would not have reached our planet and diverting it into our ecosystem.

  8. Re:...and silly me, I've now live life in slow-mot on Living Life in Fast-Forward · · Score: 1

    One of my favorite things I ever heard on this topic was from Red on the "Red Green Show". He was doing one of his asides counseling the viewing audience at large about why everyone wants to rush through life. His punchline was that the older people like himself knew that there was a brickwall we would all run into at some point and it's just a matter of how fast you want to be going when you hit it.

  10. Re:consoles on Console Vs. PC MMORPG Argument Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    I hardly think that being forced to buy a keyboard when purchasing a computer is a bad thing. I still use a $4 keyboard I bought when I put my computer together about a year ago. Yes, that's right, four dollars. And I have used it almost every day from 4 to 16 hours each day. It works great and has the best feel I have ever experienced in a keyboard. I have even thought of tracking down a crate more of them for use when this one finally does wear out. I would love to see a study where the use of a keyboard was shown to increase productivity or ease of use in a game. And all those really hard keyboard combinations are what, the number keys?

    I don't know how some of those people could play without a keyboard in that game. A friend and I would take turns playing our characters with one typing while the other drove. We were actually able to convince some people that there was only one person doing it all.

  18. Re:Pop music not music on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 1

    I honestly can't remember the last time I was actually impressed with the acting in a movie. Which is probably because as long as the acting isn't horrible, distracts from the plot, I never pay much critical attention to it. Besides I'm watching it to be entertained not to be convinced that it's reality or necessarily even close.
