  1. I have to add that agility depends not only on reflexes, but on strength too. And so does speed if you meant speed of motion (as opposed to response time). However speed should start to decrease when muscle mass reaches certain point. My .02
  2. An Obsidian-ish Fallout theme for KDE:
  3. Hmmm, even Duke Nukem Forever comes out earlier. On a side note, according to developers "eating, sleeping and some other minor RPG elements were taken out of the game".
  4. Getting IP address is useless though. Usually a hacker compromises a number of home computers on the net (email trojans, worms, etc), builds up a zombie network and then controls them via IRC channels to send out spam and perform DDOS attacks.
  5. webuser: epiphany sternest: Hype pain.
  6. This one is curious: Albert Einstein = Ten elite brains
  7. Does it mean if you work nights and days you will become a new Einstein? No. Will you burn out? Yes. An (average) human being needs rest from usual activities, otherwise productivity declines.

    Actually there is a decent instant messaging client that supports most popular protocols (ICQ , MSN, AIM, etc). Gaim
  9. That's the point. Scratches aren't a big problem, because the DVD is still readable.
  10. Aren't DVDs easier to scratch? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you think that's a big problem, take a look at the surface of any DVD from movie rental.
  11. Because back then nobody had thought about this issue much. Besides, there was Turbo button. Not sure about Grim Fandango though.
  12. Every person I know who have ever work at any meat processing plant say that. Truly, ignorance is bliss sometimes.
  13. It is also a good idea to take a break from a computer from time to time. Just looking at the photos of your desks and chairs alone makes my back and wrists hurt.
  14. *cough* first post *cough*
  15. Did you intall Winamp3? It really stinked (even developers admit it ). Better using Winamp5 with classic skins. Makes it look like Winamp2 and doesn't take as much memory as "modern" skins.
  16. Too bad Nullsoft people refuse to make a port for Linux
  17. Surprisingly,
  18. We just did. There are no right or wrong wars, only morally ambiguous. It is. Germany was bitter because of lost territories after WW1, it was moral on their side to claim back what was lost. It is a gross oversimplification of WW2. And this is exactly the reason of moral ambiguity. So, allies doing the very same things in Germany in 1945 is a good thing then, because Hitler was evil? A pinnacle of debating techniques? So, in short, no, you are wrong; we live in reality, not in Middle Earth. It is simple to dismiss a point saying that something is "stupid" and not worthy of a "thoughtful response", but it didn't work, sorry. You have yet to give me an example of a "morally clean" war.
  19. Isn't any war morally ambiguous?
  20. Have you tried this?
  21. That's pretty much true. In its current state any GNU/Linux distribution in a default configuration is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too far from being ready to use by an average Joe. It is still reserved for techies who enjoy to fiddle with OS internals all day. If you want to (productively) use Linux now, prepare to learn Unix shell scripting, preferably perl and/or python, a bit of Unix C programming, fundamentals of networking, fundamentals of PC hardware architecture and a myriad of other little things. Or alternatively find a very patient, helpful and knowledgeable person, who will help you with all listed above.
  22. I've just got a scholarship. Best. Day. Ever.
  23. You can. Cedega Wine
  24. Yes it's mandetory in Russia, I think they get several years in the army if I'm not mistaken. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 2 years, to be precise. And the numbers decline every year because, more and more young males use all possible legal and illegal ways to avoid it. The government plans on making it 1 year, but at the same time to drastically reduce the number of legal exemption reasons.
