  1. But Obama bowed to the king of the Saudis SURELY this means we're all submissive to the Saudis and their religion! Oh god, my mum tried to claim exactly that today. Conservatives are hilarious.
  2. This is no better or worse than Firefly, but unlike Firefly it's not set in space, so that's a bit of a let-down. It's also a tad slow (just watched ep 9). Hurry up and make Echo develop some real ability or awareness. I know Whedon has a 5 year story planned out but that's meaningless if the show gets axed at season 1.
  3. Can we please stay on topic? Now, about the material used to design the crates - will it be indestructible scenery or will we be able to pummel crates with our fists?
  4. Hmm. What does that remind me of? Oh yeah! Libertarianism.
  5. North Korea was prepping it's military for full-scale war 10 days before the launch: http://www.smh.com.au/world/north-korea-wa...90407-9zm5.html Morons.
  6. Not a film, its a new TV series. I wish it were real.
  7. Um, that's not really that rare. Physics engines these days pretty much require a BSc in classical dynamics just to understand them.
  8. That's what you said about Aliens and then it got cancelled.
  9. I ran away from home once and went and slept in the forest for a night. Then my mum came and found me and I was sick of it so I went home.
  10. I am so ****ing going to buy this. P.S. I reserve the right to refine this opinino tomorrow when I'm sober.
  11. This link pretty much nails all my criticisms of **** like GTA4. I await your knee-jerk flames. P.S. the film trailer at the end is hilarious.
  12. You'll need to make the first move by blurting out "I want to be on you". I trust you are up to the task.
  13. Yeah, I've been burned by this before, It's why I basically refuse to pay over $1,000 for a new PC now.
  14. That is entirely ****ed up.
  15. I know what MAD stands for, but Walsingham was talking about a nuclear holocaust so I went slightly off-topic to agree with him on how things wouldn't have been even remotely similar to FO3 should such misfortune befall us or our descendants. Oh, my bad. And sorry - that post was needlessly facetious of me.
  16. Yeah, it's actually not that funny despite the failure. This is like saying "ha-ha" to the Taliban for failing a suicide bomb attempt. Part of the world's problem are caused by angry people that will use any opportunity to use their resources on achieving whatever crazy goals they have (like striking out at their wealthier neighbours out of jealousy or sheer joy of destroying things). Even with inferior technologies, extremists from the middle east have shown us that it actually isn't that difficult to cause a high degree of casulties and collateral damage in developed countries. But in North Korea's case, it does have a very large standing army and sufficient capability in bombing the **** out of its neighbours. And yes, if M.A.D really happens, it wouldn't be like FO3. There wouldn't be permanently-preserved sugar pies packed in bombed-out Walmarts waiting for people to pick out and there aren't rad-aways to instantly cure people of all radiation exposure. On the upside, there shouldn't be any ghouls, rad-scorpions, and super-mutants roaming around 200 years after the holocaust. You should look up the definition of MAD. MAD is only relevant when you have two states which can wipe eachother out, not when you have one physically massive state that can wipe out another physically minute state that is woefully inept and has only a handfully of barely kiloton quality nukes at most.
  17. So *thats* where my tax money goes... Got my new PC speakers all set up. I can now share the sound part of my games with my neighbours Given I paid more than $1000 in tax last year I'm pretty much tax neutral. Yours actually went on the uni student next door that doesn't work and blows his Youth Allowance on blow.
  18. Dont buy an apple. The hardware is outrageously overpriced, and they still cant run Windows to 100%. Not to mention you will become a mac user, a social stigma that will haunt you for the rest of your life. My student discount lowers the already fairly low price of the Mac Mini by a further 10% (yes, everything else is too rich for my blood), and you're wrong about running Windows - maybe at the start of the Intel switch, but Windows is 100% supported now (through both drivers and the advanced bootloader - EFI). It's just a PC. It uses the same RAM, the same CPU, the same graphics cards. It's not a done deal, but I'm seriously contemplating it. I'll have to dig up some pricing info on the latest Intel Core 2 Duos and ATI/nVidea cards to compare it vs building my own. But I generally prefer OS X and Ubuntu for coding and multimedia anyway (i.e. most things besides games).
  19. I'm going to break my silence: Wals sexually harassed me over snailmail, and it got so unbearable that I had to report it. I'm only just now learning how to move on with my life.
