I recommend you read it (or watch the original movie... or the new one). Then the whale will make perfect sense. We're not going to spoil it for you, besides, it works best "in context".

I believe strongly in ceation through Intelligent Design especially with the belief in the creation by God. I also believe that God follows ALL the laws of nature (he set the laws up, if he doesn't follow them, he would cease to be God). Having said that, I believe there is MUCH for us to learn that...

I never count capacitors as discharged from doing something like that. Error on the side of caution.

A second hard drive and frequent file copies = good idea (good speed, too).

I agree with Floyd.

Bedsheets, blankets, carpet & no static protection = BAD HABIT !!

By the way, plugging the PSU in so that the case is grounded is not enough... but better than nothing.

Sooner or later (good chance sooner) you WILL loose an expensive part because you didn't protect you gear.

On PD, there is a thread where people can volunteer to help with putting together new/updated guides, walkthroughs, tips to playing Descent 1, 2, and 3. Just go here Why did I mention this?

I'm gonna side with Bettina. The use of profanity of ANY form in an audio taunt is NOT COOL in ANY place where the ages of others and their personal preferences and beliefs are NOT known to everyone.

Whenever I save my Single-Player game, it saves and then completely exits out of the game. Should it do that? Oops! No, it shouldn't (and doesn't for me).

Actually DCrazy, that ability has been in Outlook for a long time (Outlook 2000 at the least). There ARE some *bloated* aspects to Outlook... and it can seem buggy and prone to crash. However, 9 times out of 10 it has almost entirely to do with how you use it. That applies to *ANY* email package you...

See... Light from the sun, reflecting off of gas bubbles high in the upper atmosphere caused images of planes lost in the Bermuda Triangle to appear briefly in the skys over Egypt at about the time of 200 B.C.

Nice looking ride. *Looks* a lot like a certain model of Ferrari.

I note is uses a lot of "ground effects" which Formula One cars are banned from using. Why would the Formula One cars be banned from using "ground effects" if it helps?
