Damn, I'm still excited, and no one posted about this here yet, it seems. So... Some of the best game scores are composed by Mark Morgan, who was a very elusive person. Until now! Planescape: Torment and Fallout-Soundtracks fans rejoice, for he has a website! Here: http://www.markmorganmusic.com/ Pretty industrial, it seems. There's also an interview on a russian website: here We'll hear more soon. Most interesting: He seems to want to put MP3s in higher quality up on his site.

No, it's not *is hard on old man* Jeremy Soule - Attack!!! (Track 4 from Total Annihilation)

bit-tech also reviewed vista sp 1 gaming performance and "core" performance. They came to very mixed conclusions: Some apps ran better/faster/smoother, while others were slower, some didn't start anymore, and some showed no change...

Ever tried the drive with a different PC? Master/slave-Settings ok? Hm...

On the other hand, such decisions can make great atmosphere. Just check Penumbra: Black Plague. Awsome realistic flashlight effect that just fits

Flesh Field - Inside Don't really like the voice.

damn! me too

Certain atom models are still useful for calculating certain things, on school level at least, as long as it's made clear that these are no longer considered models that describe things accurately from nowadays knowledge. Thus it has it's place in an introductory science class, where, as you wrote, the history of science plays a role too. You cannot, however, calculate or conclude anything using ID, except trying to prove that it is a valid model. Thus it is completely self-centered and serves no further scientific purpose and should, in my opinion, not be taught as scientific approach to anything.

There are very different sides in science of course But if you didn't quote it out of context, it might have become obvious that it actually means "only one viable method of backing up theories". I agree that intelligent design should not be banned from school (banning never makes things better), but certainly not be taught in a science class, but rather be noted as theory with roots in mythology or belief.

So an OS-internal test claims the updated OS just got faster, and you believe it?

Epic level stuff in BG2, especially TOB. Slightly less ridiculous in NWN2:MOTB, but still strange to fight against Nightwalkers as normal opponents, and all the usual gnolls and bandits being Lvl20+... Also, Shandra dying after always getting up after a fight ended before. About 'Werewolf': The one in Bloodlines was awesome! Kept me running and sweating until the time was over. The one in The Witcher looked horribly bad (Why? They did have a cool looking fur simulation for Yaevinn's clothes, for example), but the sequence was fun. So which one was meant by that?

I think the whole blogging-thing going on right now makes us see the what "flaming" is going on on a personal level. Not really interesting, makes the scientists seem less sientific because they deal out on said personal level and get offended on the same level, and the creationists, well... they didn't seem worthy of serious attention so far, and only become so thanks to the internet showing a quantity of them actually do exist in this world, many of them obviously in the US. To me, this is all unnecessarily public, a thing of belief and thus should be quite personal. The whole science vs. religion debate is so superfluous... I mean, who the hell cares if a scientist is a christian, an atheist, or something else? Job and belief really should be on a different level for every serious scientist and educated person in general, if you're not a religion scientist or a priest.

Decoded Feedback - Breathe

Faith and the Muse - Mercyground Their lyrics are quite lyric, at times that is, and are mostly difficult to translate. Even if you speak German, you must feel what they mean rather than really understanding it An attempt at translating a part of the lyrics of "Du riechst so gut": madness is just a narrow bridge the shores are reason and drive I was after you sunshine confuses the mind a blind child crawling forward because its mother smells it I find you the track is fresh and on the bridge your sweat drips, your warm blood I don't see you I only smell you, I feel you a predator, crying out, hungry I scent (?) you for miles (*snip*) You smell so good I find you So good I touch you You smell so good Now I've got you You smell so good you smell so good I'm after you

Any anisotropic filtering? The textures look very washed, I thought they were teh crispness for their time...

Beyond the Void - Hateworld

The Shell - Let go to hold on A generic rock band from my hometown. Nice imo

That's actually a likely place to find (formerly?) nerdy people imo. Ok, depends on the kind of metal, but Power, Heavy, Progressive, probably Thrash and others seem to be quite appealing to us *cough* them This also makes me non nerdy, because only progressive really seems interesting of above selection Anyway, what I did today was enjoying my last day of Uni before Easter Holidays, with a mixture between highly theoretical and quite relaxing hours. Then we bought tickets for the annual wgt. Why does this have to be a 1000km (more or less) from here, it makes travelling there a lot more expensive than the festival itself

Sometimes limitations like that enforce you to be a better programmer. I never had troubles with memory so far, but I never did program any simulations... It's good to hear that >2GB really do make a difference in vista, this will affect my plannings for a new computer.

Sounds funny. Vid? It's cool to read some of a new dev's daily work.

Haha, great fun I'm quite surprised by Moonspell's band-logo, looks so BM... Fields of the Nephilim - Laura II I can't believe I'll be seeing them live in two months! And: Christian Death as well (the real ones, i.e. 1334 - hopefully there will be no bloodshed, because Kand's fake C.D. will be playing there too ) I'm so excited

Ayreon - Day Three: Pain Ayreon - Day Four: Mystery

O rly? But seriously: Sounds familiar. You sure that there isn't an "in-" too much?

Orbital - The Girl With The Sun In Her Head
