Couldn't the Star Forge just build it's on Death Star...or at least it's very own super uber Death Star beam, and shoot the Death Star with it?

We'll never know given the speculative nature of the whole ordeal.

Boo-urns. It means I'm more than one version behind in my work now! More testing

That's not a scientific theory at all. Scientific Theories are exceptionally strong statements, that are supported by empirical evidence. Anything lacking in proof is at best called a hypothesis. And besides, the naming convention of Laws and Theories is outdated and not even followed. Einstein's theory of relativity is a far more accurate predictor of motion than Newton's Laws of Motion. Here's an interesting read I have found

Twin studies disagree.

I work with geniuses. It's actually quite intimidating. Two expert PhDs walk into the room and start brainstorming....I feel smarter in their presence alone

Didn't they just release a patch about a month or so ago too?

To all that are confused, Skeeter was a dude that suffered from intense radiation in the Fallout of nuclear war, and is referred to as a Ghoul. He's an exceptionally nice and optimistic fellow, despite being hated by the "smoothskins" and has a natural affinity with technology. If skeeter were around today, he'd be the one we ask for help. He's like MacGyver...but better!

To keep in mind, the Eastern Conference Finalists this year were slated to be something like 14th and 13th in the East last season. Edmonton's success will come from the question marks that is their defense. If they can play solid, I think Edmonton will do very, very well.

That's your definition. Is it truly any more right than someone who feels otherwise? Remember, the issue here seems to be that you couldn't understand why people felt they had the right to regulate what a woman does to her body. If people think she's no longer doing stuff to just her body, but also the body (and life) of the unborn child, wouldn't that make sense for why some people are actually against unnecessary abortions? And no one is saying that the rights of the fetus are superceding the rights of the woman. In fact, if it is believed that the pregnancy is going to cause ill health to the woman for whatever reason, abortion is the way to go (i.e. the woman's rights are "superceding" the rights of the fetus). And even anti-abortionists are willing to concede this, and typically see it as an acceptable situation for abortions to occur.

There is a demo available somewhere. That's probably your best bet for getting an idea on how the game is played.

I don't really recall any different choices in NOLF. It's been a long time since I played the game though. Both were excellent games though.

I did take the internship. It started in January. It's not directly with a games company, but with two of my professors. They are working on a program that works with Neverwinter Nights and Bioware called ScriptEase. It's been a pretty cool internship so far.

Ah. So not a PR guy?

If it was truly genetic though, then wouldn't the children of homosexuals have a much greater chance of being homosexual themselves?

I though John Morgan was a programmer. It's "official" in that it came from Obsidian. It's "unofficial" in that it's announcement was never anything more than a forum post saying that they were working on a game. I don't even think you could have really learned about it outside of these forums.

It's possible. I remember reading up about it one time. Social ostracization seems to be a relatively significant contributor as well, though I wouldn't be surprised if there has been some homosexuals that came from low population areas, and had positive social interactions. Having said that, I certainly don't discount physiology. I read the paper about 6 years ago now, so it's a bit fuzzier as a result. I vaguely remember that the idea wasn't even a strong disproportion of men to women, but rather just overpopulation and crowding in general. The culture of China is also very different than ours, and I'm not familiar enough with it to analyze any differences.

That's what I was thinking. My internship lasts 16 months, so it adds an extra year to school. But I get paid, and get credit...as well as the invaluable experience.

The environmental factors aren't really "encouragement" of homosexual acts. But things such as types of social interactions, as well as overpopulation and other wierd stuff strongly correlated with homosexuality.

Is it that extreme of an idea that some people (including women) consider abortions to be a willful act of terminating a life? You seemed to be confused at the very idea that someone would think they have the right to "dictate" what a woman does to her own body? If she has a life growing inside of her, is she only doing stuff to her own body?

You make a good case but Im not sure I agree with the bolded part. Lest say you met identical twins, one male, one female. They look exactly alike except for maybe hair length and boobs (same face, height, weight, body type, etc...). You feel the only thing attracting you to one sex or the other is your upbringing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is it possible to have identical twins that are of different sex?

I was going to chime in with drinking as well. Nice work LC

Interesting. This game was pretty much on the must-buy list when it was announced, so here's hoping it rocks on!

I haven't really followed up on it too much. I assumed there'd be something similar to SS2 and Deus Ex for getting points to improve your abilities. Mind you, both of those characters were cyborgs that let you make stuff like that possible.

Meh. Half-Life knocked my pants off, and so did Half-Life 2. I didn't mind the story in either one of them, and I certainly didn't mind the atmosphere and environments.
