Explosion in London this morning
They still seemed very much like "Nuclear" blasts though. I know WHAT Chernobyl is. I don't know the details so I couldn't comment on whether or not it'd be more similar to a dirty bomb or not.

Why did the NWN2 boards relocate?

Explosion in London this morning
Or your just not striking back hard enough. The real problem is there is no target as such. One of the most effective ways of cutting the terrorists nuts off is to destroy the regimes that are supporting them. But if you take that road you have to be 100% commited to it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How hard is hard enough though? And how hard to you have to get until you're no better than those you seek to destroy?

Explosion in London this morning
Did you neglect to read that part that said calculations clearly show that a person would have to stand absolutely still within the untouched blast radious for one year in order to suffer a "fairly high" dosage. Any calculation is only as good as the problem posed. I can assure you that whatever calculations to which you speak, are based on various assumptions that do not and cannot cover all possibilities. I can also assure you there was plenty of radioactive poisoning at Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Chernoble (probably misspelled). And sadly, I can assure you that the history of nuclear materials is replete with false assurances of low risks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nagasaki and Hiroshima didn't seem to be "dirty bombs" however. I'm not familiar with the details of Chernobyl.

Both sides are equally dumb. Al-Quaeda is stupid if they think that these terrorist attacks are going to help "their people." All it does is increase the resolve to do something violent back to them.....with more support and legitimacy than before. However, the irrational impulse immediately following attack results in smacking back at the terrorists hard, which only fuels the terrorists. But then you get into other types of speculation.....what if the UK does nothing? This could be even worse as it could encourage other terrorists organizations (or the same one) to perpetuate attacks on the UK knowing there's no retaliation....or the terrorists could lose support since with no retaliation, there'd be less cause to support the bombing of civilians since they're not bombing back.

Well, that's because of the bouncing around between WCW and WWF and all that. Times were hard for him!

The best SW movie
What's the score for all movies? And how do we score this? 6 points for 1st, 5 for second, etc? Or start at 5 and 0 for the worst movie?

Happy Birthday USA
Admitting my complete ignorance of all things Islam, I thought "Mecca" was like a "Heaven" or "Nirvana" so to speak. Like, I was in Gaming Mecca when I first played Deus Ex :D

The best SW movie
Obi-Wan/Anakin duel is 1a I am not a big fan of the quick cuts and close angle shots that seem to dominate films nowadays.

At least for a bit anyways. Gives you a more wholistiic view of the world IMO.

Thumbs up for new Batman.
I liked the darker atmosphere of Daredevil. Essentially, he was a vigilante and murderer. Plus, the people he fights aren't stupid....he gets unmasked quite a bit (perhaps too much), which is a refreshing change. Although bullseye was a bit much.

The best SW movie
Agreed. Not even the cool Darth Maul fight (my favourite Lightsaber duel) could save TPM from the "Messas" and the "Yippees"

Thumbs up for new Batman.
My pick for THE best movie of the year. And I agree, Jennifer Garner is both attractive and talented. I haven't seen it, but I hear she was the only redeeming thing in Electra.

Disabling Movies - Especially Intro Movies
Hmmm, have you tried looking at this from a Bink perspective? Do you have problems playing other Bink videos? And perhaps a google search could shed some light. Maybe someone has found a way to let you run Bink videos on a setup like yours...even if it's with crappy performance (since you don't seem to care about that anyways...it'd be moot).

Thumbs up for new Batman.
Batman Begins is an excellent all round movie. It's easily the best superhero movie I have ever seen.

Thumbs up for new Batman.
Hey Ender, I was thinking about choices for female lead... Maybe because she's already been in a superhero movie, but what do you think about someone like Jennifer Garner?

KotOR II Movie/Music Patch Coming Soon
Not if Akari has anything to do about it..... :ph34r: Oh wait...he LIKES the restoration project....nevermind. Continue on.

I consider that a challenge Kelverin! I do have better things to do too....I just choose not to do them for some asinine reason.- Explanation for bad EPIII acting
Meh, the cheeziness adds to the charm. After watching the original trilogy with someone that has never seen any Star Wars movies, I realized just how cheezy (yet still good!) they really were- Ratio of console sales to PC
Ok, so Akari IS cool. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!- Ratio of console sales to PC
Hahaha very nice. - What is your posts per day count ?
