You had the foresight to even think about what type of gun it was?

Since this topic has been derailed, I guess I'll leave. If you have no problem executing innocent people Hades, then that's your perogative.

Excellent point!

Doom doom doom doom!

Okay Hades, if you as a civilian come face to face with Al-Zarqawi, and have the option of either killing him, or letting him go (and just to make sure the waters are clear, if you don't shoot him, he will get away and he will not be arrested. You also have the benefit of precognition and know that this is the case)...what do you do? Do you sacrifice your own life?

Actually it was a trick question. It's first degree murder. EDIT: D'OH. Not anymore in some states

Wouldn't that be first degree murder? It doesn't seem like a heat of the moment type thing.

Here's an interesting scenario. Guy tries mugging someone. The guy getting mugged decides to fight back. Mugger ends up being overwhelmed, and in his own defense, shoots the guy. Is this self-defence, or second degree murder?

No doubt resulting in a lower legal drinking age ^_^

So you'll be executing people for being dishonest now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was actually just thinking of prison terms, not a death sentence...should have elaborated better, but if the person dies because of that withheld evidence or purposeful negligence on the part of the lawyer, then what do you propose happens to that lawyer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What if the lawyer actually didn't mean to overlook it, but because of the large amount of evidence it ends up getting missed or whatever? The only way I'd be content to have the death sentence is if human beings were infalliable.

But it is the place of the government to execute that type of justice? How exactly is that different?

Hehehe. As long as they don't think about charging for it like the initially were doing with Direct3D, I won't care a whole lot. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised to see Doom take off. A real advantage of OpenGL though is that other operating systems support it.

So you'd have no problems executing a guy that kills someone that raped his daughter?

Trust me, the victim(s) do not care. So, if a guy kills once in passion, he should be executed? Isn't this also based on the assumptions that anyone that commits any of these crimes is unchangeable?

No quibbles against that. Any suggestions? So you'll be executing people for being dishonest now?

You're just bitter because I knocked out your light gun.

Hahaha.

Yep, I hated Morrowind but like Oblivion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, I think I might like Oblivion because of its open-endness. I like travelling in virtual worlds, acting freely. I believe I will get pretty much the same experience as the one I had with GTA San Andreas. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then why did you not like Morrowind?

I killed myself by accidentally putting the laser next to floor with the rocket launcher. Coincidentally, my rocket ended up perfectly avoiding all obstacles, doing a loop, and blowing me up. It was quite funny.

2 hours isn't long at all. Go watch a movie or have a nap.

You said 3 years should be enough. Based on what? Aren't those decades used more a result of the judicial system? So how would you suggest speeding up the process? So you're saying that anyone convicted of murder, rape, or child molestation should be executed?

Eeeegads. Seriously, post a screenshot. I need a good laugh :D Wow. Just wow.

No no no. I'm the fascist pig! I'm at work now. So count your blessing you have a bit more time to live!

Anything Carmack related it seems. I know NWN was OpenGL. Though I believe Carmack himself is impressed with the improvements DirectX had made.

It was a bit anticlimactic
