Okay ... below are the entrants. the way I see this as occurring is 1 vote for 1 smiley 16x - does that make sense? After awhile, I'll collate the Top 16 and then post those for the final Top Eight voting process ... so here they are: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) = sarcasm 9) = teach/preach 10)

Okay thanks all - that's about 40 submissions! I am still waiting to get actual links from Kirottu and Sucky for their additions. So when I get those, I'll start the polling for the Top Eight. Since there are SO MANY, I'm thinking two rounds - the Top 16 and then a Top Eight from those. More to follow after hearing from Kirottu and Sucky - thanks again - I'm a wee bit over-whelmed! Respectfully, Fionavar PS Nartwak your five are part of the final set

The Smiley Top Eight! Hello to all the gecklings, geeks, SW fanatics and general denizens of the Obsidian Community The Mod Squad would like to invite you to participate in the first Smiley event ... after much rancour, debate, tail slashing and mayhem, we have decided that 42 smilies are not enough - we want 50!!! So ... we would like to invite members to recommend smilies in the following format: 1 2 3 We'll leave the thread open for a while and in that time hopefully we'll have a lot of input and suggestions. The thread will be closed and all of the smilies lined up and (depending on volume) each member will have 8x1 votes. And thus, the addition of the Top Eight. The general intent of the Forum Guidelines applies to suggestions and member's interaction. As well, only suggestions that are accessible through open source/communal smilies may be considered. We don't want any Rule's Lawyers to come a knockin'. So please don't throw the sand after submitting your ideas. If this process works, the Mod Squad would likely open up a rotating Top Eight removal/addition. Constantly pruning and adding smilies - fun, eh? Well start your smilin' and get to suggestin' Respectfully, Fionavar

Derailment detector ... is well detecting ... have we run the dating course to the AotS?

My big problem is not so much the competition at all ... it's more the lax coding for single-core 32-bit ... what has actually been written for dual-core 32-bit ... need alone 64-bit? Nothing ... ? Tech's good, but with not software to back it up we have a detente with no way to demonstrate quality ... does that make sense?

V for Vendetta I need to process some of it, but I have, upon initial impression, really enjoyed the pacing and the space to digest a lot of the 'sub-text' that is presented in a manner that remains accessible I find.

Thanks LostStraw - you have hit o two things of import for me. 1) The 1:1 ratio is apparently quite important for the Conroe, and; 2) The o/c you outline is pretty much what I was thinking of doing with the E6600. And if, as you say, for the extra 40$ I may have a little bit more flexibility/band-width access than it does seem a small extra at this point. What I would really like to know - and it's all rumour until they show it - is whether that BIOS will have to wait for a Rev 2 of the SFF architecture ...

I am not sure whether this was directed at me Hades? If it was, what struck me was not the mechanics of the game, to be honest, as opposed to the ... spirit ... myth ... je ne c'est quoi ... that pervades each of the stories/plots. This will take more time to articulate, but each of the stories have a depth that allows the tale to be universal - though 'sci-fi.' For me, at least, the thread between DX, FO, SS, is the plausibility that allows for the suspension of reality ... which I guess, at the end of the day, is what a good story should do.
