Love you, Jazzy. =)

Nice work Ryu. The download links seem to be broken though. I tried clicking some missions, the D1 demo, and a few other things.

Suncho

Curious tho how it is a democratically controlled precinct that the suspect recount is going on.

To be fair, democratic precincts typically have higher populations, which means more voters, which means more can go wrong.

I'm not saying there isn't anything fishy going on (there almost always is ...

Suncho

It was also true that precincts that gave Obama a larger percentage of the vote were statistically more likely to make a correction that helped Franken.

Well duh.

With ACORN filing more than 43,000 registration forms this year, 75 percent of all new registrations in the state, Minnesota was ...

Suncho

Anyone know of any D1 or D2 levels that use a bunch of different features? (eg. all the different textures, various different orientations of textures and texture combinations, all the different walls, doors, powerups etc.)

HAHAHA! So true. =)

I told Matt Toschlog about it too, but he's more of a D3 guy. Mike said he liked it, but it was before you added most of the weird stuff.

I told Mike Kulas about D2X-XL earlier this year and he downloaded it.

Then where should we get our porn?

Well, for the PS1 version.

I used to have a memory card with a saved game right before I exited the final mine just so I could watch the ending cinematic over and over again. =)

Suncho

Bettina, where can you find evidence that Charon has been promoted to a dwarf planet? All I can find is stuff like this:

Dwarf planets: Pluto and any other round object that \"has not cleared the neighborhood around its orbit, and is not a satellite.\"

Since Charon is classified as a satellite ...

Suncho

You'd think it should be. =)

Suncho

Pluto and Charon act almost like a binary pair instead of planet and orbiting moon. In a binary pair, the rules are that the center of gravity must reside in one of them and the one that has it is the Planet and the other would be its moon. This applys to Jupiter, Saturn, etc, etc.

Actually, in ...

As long as Krom isn't on any of them, they should be fairly accurate.

Welcome back, Thraine. Remember the time your parents wouldn't let you play Warcraft II because it had too much blood?

Suncho

I personally believe we should not be so worried about WHO or WHAT is to be blamed. We should be upset that we can do something about it and we are not doing it.

Well Cuda, figuring out the cause was a big part of figuring out whether a solution would be necessary and what that solution would be ...

Suncho

That's an interesting perspective on the movie Genghis. I guess he went in there with higher expectations than I did. I think the 45 minutes dedicated to convincing "non-believers" was actually good, because not everybody, including myself, is fully up to speed on the subject.

I don't really know ...

To quote Jimmy Smitts on The West Wing:

\"Abortion's a tragedy. It should be legal, it should be safe, it should be a whole lot rarer than it is now.\"

I'm pro-choice, but I also believe that PAS exists.

Did you see it?

Suncho

I don't really care about the magazines decision, I care that both sides of this debate take political doublespeak positions and the press doesn't take them to task for it!

You should be more pissed off that some political operatives with business interests have convinced so many people that ...

Pandora:

I would be grateful if you could send me evidence for your claim hat "the basic points of [my] letter have already been widely dispersed over the Internet." As far as I am aware, neither the details nor the results of my analysis have been cited ...

Suncho

To be fair, Pandora, I think the point was that Peiser's research was *NOT* available online at the time he submitted it.

Suncho

Has anyone considered the thousands of letters that Science Magazine have to reject and the time they really have to spend on each one? Nobody's perfect, and if you have a letter that quite clearly shouldn't be printed, how much time are you going to spend explaining why?

When an author submits a ...

Suncho

Nope. WHICH, answers most of your other questions. The rejection is obviously trivial, and implies that they were simply making something up because they didn't like his results.

His letter emphasizes that he used the same search terms as Dr. Oreskes and how he found abstracts which contradicted ...

Suncho

My point is that they are being dismissed, not based on their arguments, but because the left doesn't like their conclusions.

Are you sure about this? I think anybody would be relieved to find out that global warming isn't really a problem... even the left.

Back to Dr. Peiser for a moment here ...

Suncho

Just read the piece on Dr. Benny Peiser and you'll see why so many of us have doubts about the arguments selectively gathered by someone like Al Gore who has never made any move without calculating the political benefits of any movement...

Thanks. I read the whole article. I also read more about ...

Suncho

Ok. I've done a lot of reading, and so far all the guys you've linked don't look much

better than crackpots. I don't see any data analysis to back up their claims. All I see is

words.

Richard Linzen says this:

Picking holes in the IPCC is crucial. The notion that if you’re

Suncho

The only way to say that there is no debate on the issue, is to completely ignore the scientist speaking for the other side. Which is exactly the problem I'm talking about.

Kilarin, if there were some perceived economic benefit to convincing everyone that the earth is flat, the politicians who ...

Suncho

Kilarin, I think you are mistaken.

p.s. I don't think people are suggesting we ban gasoline.

Suncho

Nah. It's fine. Also, I understand that not everyone has time to sit down and become experts on this stuff. I certainly don't. But I think Al Gore breaks it down in an intuitive and entertaining way for lay people like us and I recommend you see it. Even if you disagree with what he says or find ...

Suncho

sports are relatively boring. kids prefer to sit on their asses indoors playing videogames getting corinary disease.

Ah. I never found sports boring.

I thought the whole fatass kids thing was because of today's age of safety paranoia. Recess is being banned at schools and kids are being told ...

It's called playing sports. You don't need any special computer equipment for that.

VonVulcan wrote:BTW, did you read the earlier link posted by Herculosis?

Yes. Did you read the response posted by Pandora?

Suncho

I guess my next question is this: How can you criticize Al Gore's position when you haven't even seen what he has to say?

Suncho

Ok. That's enough.

This is not a poem. The article is not meant to be interpreted. The article is meant to be read and understood. It should only mean one thing. If we disagree about what it means then either one of us is wrong or the article is poorly written.

Suncho

Actually Kilarin, while that may be true in some cases and while there may be some environmental extremists making wild claims about global warming and eco-terrorists who believe panda bears are more important than humans, in terms of the global warming debate, there is no debate among scientists ...

Suncho

Not even close, all you did was creat your own points and try to over-simplify mine.

Ok. I'll break it down in more detail for you.

Here we go:

It seems that according to this article, what we do will have little impact on what is a natural process.

Really? I read the whole article. Which ...

Suncho

Ok, how's this.

Vulcan's first point:

1. It was hotter before.
2. It got colder.
3. It's getting hotter again.
-----------
4. Therefore we're in a natural cycle

I can make a similar argument

1. Girl is born
2. Girl that was born has daughter
3. That daughter has a daughter
-----------
4 ...

Suncho

Do you have any idea how brainwashed you sound, Vulcan? The science says that humans are causing it and the article you linked does not suggest otherwise.

At this point, claiming that humanity is not the cause of global warming is just an excuse to be lazy.

By acknowledging that there's a problem ...

Suncho

i guess it would force people to obey the laws of physics. it's the law! :D

I prefer to think of VR as an interface that tricks your mind into thinking the virutal world is real rather than uh... something that forces you to actually run and physically do stuff yourself and other crap that's not ...
