Spellmar says "Emigrate"

You have no chance to survive, make your time!

A veritable guarantee that NWN2 will be the bestest game ever then. I predict 100% ratings, with the easiest, yet most powerful module tools in existance, and an OC that makes you go "What was this Baldur's Gate thing?" and "Fall-what?"

Not much time for me to play. School and all that jazz.

Take off every Zig!

Slightly inspired from Ender's Open Source thread in WOT, but I put it here because I feel it is part of the "Computer" in "Computer and Console." If any mods want to move it to WOT, so be it. Basically, do you guys see the Open Source movement eventually gaining more and more steam? On one hand, you'd have excellent supported software (in theory anyways), constant updates and improvements (hey, just fix it yourself if you can!!), and free software. At the very least, good ideas won't be contained to one particular developer, which will spread their merits faster. On the other hand, Open Source typically means free. This means that making money and having "official" support becomes more problematic. And outside of those familiar with computers and using Open Source documents, could be a deal breaker. I also wonder if you'll get less people involved in Computing Science and programming, as making money IS a nice perk of that CS degree you just received. If everything became Open Source, then it would definitely become less lucrative. Share your thoughts.

I'd argue for poverty as well. I'm not 100% sure how welfare is handled in the States, but I definitely hear not so glowing reviews about it. Though people can be anti-American. I'm not a fan of "sink or swim" either. Things were like that before the Great Depression IIRC. Plus, leaving people to die and starve seems, well, rather cold to me. I have no real problems with the idea behind welfare. The problem is that there are always those that take advantage of it. But I think it still serves the greater good of society. But I'm Canadian, which makes me a Socialist and borderline Communist right? :D

over: Calgary Flames under: Edmonton Oilers :D :D :D

Well, there's still topics in Way Off-Topic, they just aren't on-topic for the other categories! Besides...this is the "Way Off Topic" forum. Not the "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Off Topic" forum

I'm not a baby fan. Sorry Ender. Though I'm sure I'll change my tune when I start having some of my own.

Looking back Shadowstrider, you keep reiterating the validity of the complaint, which I actually never explicitly questioned. I just asked why is it only a problem now? As for the Oyster analogy, I'm not sure how accurate it necessarily is. I would consider that Commissar IS taking issue with it, since he continuously posts in this thread. Plus your position on whether or not you like oysters is a bit smaller in scale. Besides, you expressed your dislike and did take issue with the offer, in declining the offer. Not taking issue would be to accept the offer anyways, which is essentially what Commissar is doing. Commissar claims to be adamantly against something, yet doesn't consider it a big issue (though his posting on this thread would make me think otherwise). If it's not a big issue to him, then how could he be adamantly against it? http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=adamantly "Stubbornly unyielding." If it didn't bother him enough to make a kafuffle out of it before, then he wouldn't be adamantly against it, as he's already making concessions because it's not worth his time or whatever. But this is waaaaaaaaaaay off topic. If you really want to continue this part of the discussion, I'd be willing via PM.

Hundreds of thousands in irreparable damages? Haha

Why was it not a cause for concern for the last 50 years? I think the complaint is not particularly valid because it's not required to say the thing. I don't know how you can be adamantly against something, yet not care enough about it to make it an issue.

I'm curious about the motivation of those that are complaining. People such as yourself and Commissar seem adamantly against it, but if it is really that big of a deal, how come I don't remember any dicussions about it before hand?

But why is it only making Athiests mad now? I still contend it's people looking for their 15 minutes.

Depending on the provider, it may or may not even be enforced. My roommate and I have a cap, and while I never come close to it, he usually demolishes it many times over himself. If downloading TV shows is your thing and you're worried about the cap being enforced, then I'd probably not go with it. I like playing games and enjoy getting patches and demos very quickly, so I like my faster internet. Unless I download a ton of demos in a month though, I don't get close to 3 GB (I have 2.5 Mbit download).

Eldar, I wasn't referring to you when I asked why Athiests are upset only now. Although I do wonder why it seems, only now, that they are now getting upset about it, when it's been in that statement for a long time already? How many athiests even knew it existed in the pledge before this event?

How come it's only making the Athiests mad now?

I liked Pirates. It's also neat that you age and you can see that it actually makes you move a little slower at times.

I did want to smack the bonehead that asked MacTavish if he was going to let lose Hemsky this year and let him play his type of game. Yeah, MacT is just going to let Hemsky do whatever he wants out there. Like that wouldn't work wonders for team chemistry

On a side note Kor, go listen to the Live Chat with Patrick LaForge. Yours truly was the first fan question :D

I think hurlshot was referring more to the intensity.

It's preseason, and you can only put so much stock in the preseason games.

Allah = God.
