Mmmmmm... *drool* spam fool....

The film 'Sonatine' made in 1984 covers this subject really well. If you're interested.

Why would I lock a thread that is indirectly about Minnesota - the loon state?

I'm strongly in favour of having a safety net to catch people who may have wound up with no personal plan through no fault of their own.

Spam is very nice. Put it cubed with rice and peas and some fresh chillis.

I confess that the technical specs sound good. But I also confess I became so angry with the Vaio interface rubbish that I nearly threw the last one I worked on out the window. The only thing that stopped me was the thought that to do so would deprive me of the pleasure of throwing the damned thing at an actual Sony marketing swine if I ever happened across them.

And yet that is your typical inheritance, and that is what annoys me. That and attitude. Well, that is true. I shan't deny I know many men and women who are that way.

Then I gues you won't be wanting this.... Give me a break anyone would accept an inheritance. Don't despise people for that. Despise them for doing nothing whatsoever constructive with all the free time and money.

Is the fat in the nueronal sheath?

You filthy swine!

If 'colonise non-habitable environs' means space I'd like to change my answer to that.

Given the history Afghanistan has for making us 'reap the whirlwind' we al know we could expect in five years some kind of size zero insurgency.

I can't eat corned beef hash since I ate too much of it one day and got sick from all the salt. Spam is fine, though.

That does it, you're my vote for King.

I think this also calls fro more English Majors* to analyse the architecture of good stries, and explore the dynamism within them. *This post sponsored by the society for the promotion of English Majors, and the Prairie Home Companion.

I have no problem with Bethesda doing Fallout 3, provided they keep in mind that there's a better reason to do FO3 than just a ready market of fanbois. FO was stylistically awesome, and really caught the mood of the time in terms that Sando might have more luck describing with his degree than I would. It was also emotionally very free, yet offerred plenty of opportunities to get emotionally connected to various groups and people. What worries me is that Bethesda will get a bunch of simple-minded cretins together who will fill the game with dungeon bashes, and simply copy the FO format stylistically rather than letting it evolve a little. I'd suggest trying a different or at least the odd intense environment. Ithink also that a dark sense of humour was what marked out the earlier games and really made them come alive. Sadly it is this last in particular that I feel is conspicuously absent from the whole Morrowind series.

Can anyone fill me in a bit on modern (last three years) developments in AI, who makes the best, and where the Unreal AI engines fit in? EDIT: Does anyone feel like filling me in...

Dead rat.

I just worked out what that inexplicable stain on the bathroom ceiling is!

o RLY? I can't make the damn thing work! But luckily meta can!

And have her become a martyr? To who? Spoiled rich kids? Precisely. You want them getting all like spoiled middle class kids got about Kurt Cobain? WHERE'S MY PETITION, dammit?!

Actually, in my opinion the principle problem is not a lack of space, but an inability of most economies to keep up with the birth rate. This is creating millions of angry jobless young men. And historically that usually leads to some huge assed war. Which would be bad, m'kay.

And have her become a martyr?

Although the first modifier depends greatly upon your frame of reference, and the second modifier is flat-out untrue, my advice to you is to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. ...Just so long as we don't stop. This is bat country. *searches for hunter s thompson emoticon* Anyway... I thought that proramming was only mad hectic when it was badly planned?

It is the propensity of rats to eat humans that makes me loathe and despise them. That and the tails.
