  1. I considered getting one with Bioware, though their placement started in May and I was offered a sure deal in January. It was an opportunity I couldn't refuse, though my eye was always on Bioware at the time.
  2. My boss wholeheartedly agrees. In fact, in a discussion with him, he feels that AI won't truly get a fair break unless a dedicated card and API is created.
  3. Wasn't the war more between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, with allies chiming into the mix?
  4. I have not stated that I am on a side either
  5. Semantics. Though it doesn't follow the current naming convention. What axis does what is purely arbitrary. X and Y axes are typically the names given to the axes in two dimensional space. Besides, I don't even agree with your assessment. When you're looking at a 2D game layout, the "up and down" should be relative to the monitor. Unless you're trying to tell me that viewing a cartesian plane on a monitor, you label your horizontal axis the X-Axis, and your vertical Axis the Y axis. Imagine you are looking at the gaming board from the top.
  6. I think a good geeky ringtone is the lack of any unique type of ring tone
  7. Yup. At least I have certainly noticed it in my RTR PE game. Maybe there's more stuff for making squalor high. But even with low tax rates, most of my 20000 population places have growth rates of 0.5% or 1% Sometimes even with a negative squalor governor too (and certainly not with any squalor increasing traits...I made sure to check for that). When Roma was without a governor (he just died), my population growth rate (at 25k people) fell to -1%. And this is all with low taxes.
  8. I need to build the farms to keep the population growth rate above zero.
  9. Astrology is very poor word. Do you have a link for this?
  10. Loading times typically do not exclude ALL hard drive activity, but rather that you are never taken out of the game or given a point of being unable to do any tasks. A game with "no loading times" may stutter when entering in a new area (as it starts loading the area into memory from the HD).
  11. I'm pretty sure physiology is not the correct word here. I think you're also making to sweeping of a generalization. Is it that farfetched that some people may actually think that the unborn fetus is now a human life, and should be protected like any human life? In any case, you're dodging the question I asked. Is it really still just the woman's body when there is an unborn fetus in the body. You're trying to blow the issue up, but that's not what I asked. You made a point about how you thought it was absurd that people felt they could "control" a woman's reproductive system, and I stated that some argue that they are no longer controlling just their own body. To which you replied (rather matter of factly) that it was, "end of discussion." Are they really just affecting their own body if they are pregnant? That's what I'm asking. I have said nothing about control over the reproductive systems of men and women.
  12. Are you saying a woman shouldn't have control over her own body while the man can just because of physiological differences? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not what I asked or said in any way at all. I commented that "the argument is that they are no longer just affecting their own body." To which you replied "It is still their body. End of discusion." I'm not sure where I made any comments about whether or not woman should have control over her own body while the man can just because of physiological differences.
  13. Wow, you fell back on that? How creative.
  14. Says the guy that makes fallicious statements such as Christianity being responsible for the dark ages, and perpetuating a belief that the world is flat.
  15. But everyone he has ever met that's a Christian has treated him like an ass!!!
  16. YOu used to be a Christian. I guess that explains a lot.
  17. Because the argument is that they are no longer just affecting their own body.
  18. The company also doesn't deal in hardware period...yet we have a hardware forum.
  19. Given their digital distribution package, I wouldn't be surprised.
  20. Would you have the reflexes and timing to pull that off?
  21. Apparently you've never heard of respositories or anything like that. If something is reported done, it provides zero guarantee that it's going to be in a particular build of a game. It's possible that the build shown was off of a different branch that didn't include the fixes. Or maybe it was built off the main trunk, but the completed fidgets hadn't been merged into the main trunk yet. You need some actual understanding of software development before you can actually make a claim like that. "Latest Build" doesn't mean anything. Heck, since you have demonstrated your extensive knowledge about Valve and Half-Life 2 in the past, surely you remember that reading in the news how the stolen build on Gabe Newell's laptop was very out of date. It is also possible that, given the relatively short duration, they didn't want it to go through without some QA looking at it. You'd rather they use the "latest build" (without understanding what that means)...maybe they'd rather not put stuff into the demo build (assuming the people making the demo build had access to it...what with being in a different country and all) that has only received any testing from the programmer that implemented it.
  22. Yes, I know the differences. I just find myself lasting longer with the Principes.
  23. To be honest, I find myself doing quite a bit better with Principes than with Hastatii.
