Except that Polaris is like 100 times farther than Alpha Centauri, weighing it at 430 ly, giver or take 100 ly. To clarify, that's 4.06802721

Datsyuk has insane skills. As much as I don't care for Detroit, I hope he has a solid playoff (assuming Detroit makes it) just to get the critics off his back.

Well, if you're talking about a virus attaching to an .exe (which I would categorize as being exceptionally uncommon), then that's not a bug that Dashus is takling about.

The funny thing was I think our average grade between the four of us was 90%, and that's because we had someone that was only getting 70s.

We did the same at our school. Loaded up shareware quake and played games. They didn't like that, so they became draconian in their security.

Every system is different. I would be surprised if this mod went off without a hitch. This is nothing negative. I personally believe that different systems will have different issues, which you people haven't forseen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unless they are doing alterations to the actual engine or something, I'd be surprised if there were system specific bugs in what they have done.

If we're lucky, we can get to Alpha Centauri before our sun starts expanding!

If a KOTOR 3 comes out, then people will just want a KOTOR 4.

Ahahahahaha.

Unless BF2142 is completely different than the other ones (which were online multiplayer games, that contained no AI agents in the game), I suspect putting in a whole bunch of AI analysis when the only AI that exists is for a singleplayer, offline mode, would be a really large waste of resources. The question I asked was more rhetorical, because the BF games are games that don't really contain AI agents. You didn't really answer why at all. You just said it needs to be regulated because it "can slide into real spying quite easily." Provide something to substantiate your claims. An example about credit cards doesn't exactly clarify the point. And besides, your point was that politicians were needed to curb or stop the type of stuff that EA is doing, nothing mentioned about how it should be "regulated and monitored." I'm thinking that the laws should be created to stop the "real spying," rather than what EA is attempting to do.

Our Sun will not go Boom, it does not have enough mass. When it burns off enough mass it will expand into a red giant, and then later compress into a white dwarf. And when it expands, it's expected to expand out about 1 AU (the Earth's distance to the sun. However, in the 5 billion years when this happens, the Earth is suspected to be about 1.7 AU away from the Sun. Our Sun would need to be 1.4 times the mass it is for it to explode (Chandrasekhar limit). And even then, we might as well do something in the mean time. To say that it won't be an issue is a bit premature. I'm not sure what you mean by "burning the heavier elements" because the Sun is overwhelmingly made up of hydrogen. In fact, the sun will expand because it will have burned off enough mass through the fusion of hydrogen (the lightest element), and eventually when enough of the mass has been released via radiation, there will not be enough gravitational force to counteract the expansive force that the fusion reaction has. And by the time this happens, the only planets expected to be pooched are Mercury and Venus. But the sun's mass is about 71% hydrogen, and 21% helium (a byproduct of hydrogen fusion). While a spectrum analysis has shown other elements as well, none of them are believed to make up more than even 1% of the Sun's mass, though Oxygen is close. I think he was referring to it being the point of no return. How exactly have we passed the point of no return, when the article you referenced comments about how the Peat Bogs of Siberia didn't exist 11,000 years ago. Prior to that, the methane gas would have still been released into the atmosphere, and it probably still would have been wet so that it wouldn't oxidize. Though at the same time, you're the exact same person that said people were essentially stupid simply because they were Muslim, so I'm thinking people should take your comments with an exceptional grain of salt. Especially when you toss out such gems as "You believe in God don't you. I can tell" in this thread, I'm not so sure you should be the one insulting people in this thread.

Right....

I was at my best friend's wedding on Saturday, so I didn't catch the game. According to my roommate, he was sort of under the impression that the Oilers were doing the old "play better than the other team, but don't score and then let them score on a rare opportunity to tie it up" system. Stoll got smashed at one point. Wow, what a hit

They were still selling out during the Ballard years in the 80s, when they were a **** team (and ironically complaining about how their organization isn't being run properly). Ballard specificially opted on just making money during those times, operated with heavy mismanagement, and basically didn't have any fear of retribution because he knew fans would still keep coming, CBC HNIC would still come a knocking.

I never specialized at all in flamethrowers nor GEP guns, but I still used them. THey were plenty useful at their default levels. Just didn't move as fast.

Not really sure what monitoring AI would really do in a game like Battlefield, nor am I sure wtf "human intelligence" parameter values would be. Why?

I agree wholeheartedly, and I am a fan os System Shock 2.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. In other news, I think ridiculous is now officially the second most misspelled word on the internet, just behind the.

IMO Aerie's was garbage.

Hahaha. I remember her. No doubt he was configured to have smooth talking skills for situations like that. The awesome part was that it was a dry, emotionless "Suuuuuure"

It is interesting that bots tend to have the smiley emoticon on their posts.

An odd thing I noticed about Market Garden, was that the AI had a tendency to place units towards the bottom parts of the map.

But much, much cooler. Though I'd suspect JC was a virgin as well

But the continuity with Superman III

Well, only if it includes voice over. It's really easy to do it with whatever name you want if voice overs aren't included.
