I'm posting this for those of you that knew Wave. He was a good guy and will be missed. I know very little about his passing. He had dinner with his wife on 2/2/19. He went to a friend's house. They thought he had fallen asleep in a chair. Later they realized he wasn't sleeping. They tried CPR and c...

Hey, Shel. Nice to hear you're still in Austin. We should catch up some time. Check your PMs.

I enjoyed the film a lot. First impression was almost all positive. Liked the cast, script, effects, music, everything. On reflection, the things that bother me are fairly minor. That said: 1. In many ways my biggest complaint is that the wormhole/time travel stuff is really played out. It is one of...

Kilarin,

Evolution would easily be falsified by either irreducible complexity or by a rabbit fossil (truly) from the Pre-Cambrian.

Wikipedia uses the example of a stone arch--the arch is irreducibly complex, since if we remove one stone, the arch falls apart. Yet we built the arch one stone at a time. However, that is because we built the arch using scaffolding, which is removed when we are finished building the arch. Interest...

Palzon, Mathews is just one of many, one of the majority of media talking heads who all got on board the Obama ticket. You are dissembling as dissent suggested . The bias has become so bad that foreign media are starting to report on it. And now that the election is over you'll see the domestic med...

Just stop and think about it. Middle school and high school are souped up daycare for most children. I thought so when i was there. It's not like he's asking people to fetch his laundry or wash his car. He's asking people to give back to their own community. This seems like a good idea. Help the com...

Palzon

I clicked it. I watched. And here's my answer. The question posed in the thread is just silly. Matthews isn't a reporter - he's an editorial guy. Also, he appears to be the guest on the other show featured in the clip, not the host. He was being interviewed about his beliefs - not reading the nightl...

Palzon

It's simple, all right.

Palzon

Some day I may do that as well. However, it would be somewhat problematic... I'm not really interested in having a PC in my livingroom. It's bad enough I have three in the office. Cords across the floor are definitely not an option and that would mean more crawling around in my attic and more holes ...

Palzon

Resistance would a great word to describe my attitude towards all console systems until recently. I'm a devout PC gamer and had no interest in consoles. But then I decided to get one of these . There's no point having a fancy TV if you don't have Bluray. And there's little point in getting Bluray ra...

Resistance 2 comes out!!! W00t!!!

There are three trailers and a mini doc about the game here

I thought the ads for Resistance 2 looked cool. So I checked out the first one and loved it!!! If you have a PS3 and havent't played it yet, I highly recommend it.

Palzon

You are over the hill, old man!!!

Have a great birthday, man. Thanks for being a great friend all these years.

Palzon

The good thing about all this is that she's making the McCain/Palin team look more arrogant and foolish with each passing day. Bee .....To you.... Others don't agree. I understand completely how you feel, Hostile. I also feel it is a bad thing that Palin comes across as an arrogant fool. It's bad f...

Palzon

I'll worry when the shadow of Obama's secret police is no longer obscured by the shadow of crappy, paranoid, BS propaganda, i.e. douchebaggery.

Palzon

You know, it would be awfully easy to turn this entire thread upside down and talk about McCain as the coming Hitler. Clearly it is the McCain supporters, nay \"workers\", are now fabricating attacks to vilify their oponents, thus duping the easily fooled. Of course you can see the paralle...

Palzon

My point for this thread is the low quality of the political debate in your country. With significant exceptions, the focus is on scaremongering and personal attack. Comments on the opponents policies are so distorted so as to make you wonder if they are talking about the same policies the candidat...

Palzon

The REAL problem is that for some reason people (and I call 'em stupid) seem to want to be stoned/drunk/high/whathaveyou. I have no idea why they choose to intoxicate themselves- they claim it's to calm nerves/have fun/etc. I've been through some real pain in my life and never once have I decided t...

Palzon

I'm not here to make a partisan point. Just a rational one. You can resume the usual DBB nonsense without me now. carry on.

Palzon

So true i posted it twice!

Palzon

Remember kiddies, Powell was the point man on WMD & Bush’s war. I am picturing a man with a vial in his hand. And as I recall, most Democrats were calling that a bunch of lies. So now you will trust him to tell you the truth, about whether a candidate has qualifications or not. No sorry…fool me...

Recently DRH had a Skybox Hoard up. 300 pt goal. Could this be put up again? It was a lot of fun. Thanks.

Palzon

Thanks for serving/organizing, Delia. Nice job winning it, Zero!

I have no custom driver profiles for d3.

Palzon

I cannot find anything in the control panel regarding scaling. I tried installing the Omega drivers and that seems to fix the original problem in OGL. However, it caused the game to become unplayably choppy in OGL - unplayably! So now i've had to switch to playing in d3d, which is only rediculously ...

Palzon

Thanks Grendel. I just dusted the insides today, at least incidentally when i installed new RAM. But you're right that it couldn't hurt to dust things more thoroughly. Still, I doubt that is the main problem since only d3 is affected.

Palzon

Nah, I changed the driver hoping that would fix the problem. I don't really think the new driver made it worse - perhaps i was being a lil dramatic. Edit: thanks to Psion, Lion, and Judas for helping me in chat! It will take some testing to know for sure if it's fixed. If not I've got some ideas now...

I'm having a problem where intermitently my screen goes all wonky, with weird lines, grid patterns, and colors. I have one screen shot of it at about as bad as it gets. My system is a P4 2.8 GHz. 1.5 gigs ram. ATI 9800 pro. I updated my vid card driver today and if anything, the problem is worse now...

Palzon

I was having a problem but got it answered in chat. It was apparently my bad. I really appreciate these servers as I get a good connection there. Thanks for putting them up. How bout some 1 v 1 Kata some time

A nice mood disorder, by itself, could cause that behavior. I'm going with bipolar.

Thanks, Fritz and everyone! I'm the luckiest pally alive to have such a great woman as my wife. I will put up pics for all to see soon. Life has never been better. Thanks for the warm wishes. And Fritz, it meant a great that you could be there. You have a lovely wife yourself and I'm glad to finally...

It is wholly naive to assume that military tactics of the Islamic world against the West, i.e. terrorism, has more to do with their relgion than it does their military inferiority. Pragmatically, they cannot stand toe to toe with any major power, West or East. It is assinine to suggest this makes th...

Palzon

I would expect the same of anyone else (e.g. I would expect any strong atheist to disapprove of his/her young kids going to a concert which is part of a Billy Graham crusade). [snip] For each side of this to berate the other for their perspective is just stupid. You seemed to have missed something ...

Palzon

Hopefully we can steer the debate away from accusations of irrationality, and back toward some more objective and rational discussion of how we balance ethics and science. Steer it away from truth while you're at it. You certainly don't balance ethics and science by letting science be dictated by t...

...A case could be made that some of those who were so vocally "pro" stem-cell research before actually don't care about stem-cell research at all, they just considered it a convenient issue to use to bash Bush, Christians, etc. Actually, I doubt this very much. Or let me say it this way:...

If souls exist, who hands them out? (Who handed out Jeffery Dalmer's?) Testi, are you being coy? Roid, your poll needs an agnostic option. I'm content to live with the question as one that is insoluble. This is not an issue of the answer being unknown . It's not that I'm indecisive. I'm decisive in...

Palzon

Kilarin is absolutely correct. In fact, his first post is one of the most concise and cogent I've ever read on this board. Refreshing really. If it is unethical then it is wrong to procede regardless of the efficacy. Perhaps this is not the place to argue whether or not it is ethical. But the point ...

Palzon

Nice to hear you're alive and well, Fatal!

Palzon

With the fires, in that area it has been known to happen and has happened before (like Duper said), therefore the mechanisms were already in place to respond quickly and effectively. This ^^ Firefighting has been around a long time and exists pretty much in every place in the U.S. where flammable s...
