  1. So what, you run around all day and fix broken Quantums. Big deal I tend to agree with SoE on this one too, pure science for science's sake is a gamble. If you are among the best/genius in your field (which mean, you wouldn't even have to ask what the most interesting one is), your streets will be paved with gold and you'll only miss out on small details like friends and a life. If you are not a genius/authority in your field, welcome to your second day job to make ends meet
  2. Ok, that one looks mean, voted for IG-88
  3. I would like to know who IG-88 is before I vote I know AK-47, ehh I mean HK-47, but the other one ?
  4. He might be a decent actor elsewhere, then he was just cast wrongly or directed poorly in the SW movies
  5. You mean girly looking boy with the acting talent of a wall ? As if episode II wasn't disastrously bad already, that casting disaster just did the movie in completely One, I need to find the original theatrical version in a hurry (probably some second hand vhs) and convert to digital format. Two, Lucas needs to be declared insane and taken into custody for an indeterminate period...
  6. The only UFO's I've seen with my own eyes are those that come out of my microwave oven... Unidentifiable Food Objects :ph34r:
  7. Actually, Herve's plan is even more devious. By pretending to be incompetent and driving the already ailing company he took over to the brink of destruction, he can acquire all the available stock for a piece of candy. Once he got them all, he'll pull out his great master plan, drive up the stock value and fill his own pockets with $ FOOL anyone ?
  8. You're right: "Shrunk in size"...
  9. Cereal Killer ? Fear the deadly breakfast!
  10. Oh, those notorious Finnish anarchists! Look at the bright side, as bad a thing as empire building is, no empire lasts. The Roman empire grew complacent, diluted with foreign ideas and ethnic groups in their armies and edministration, the Spanish empire grew complacent, navel fixated and convinced of their own superiority. The various Chinese, Indian, pre-Columbian, British etc. did the same. Even a recent one like the communist Soviet empire choked to death in paranoia and overspending on their military budgets to sustain their global ambitions (and literally fell apart, when the infrastructure couldn't carry the weight anymore). Preprogrammed selfdestruction seems to be part of any empire, it's just that you can't really set your watch after it B.t.w. what does "Sarjahurmaaja" mean, does it translate into something, or does it just sound "Finnish" ? B)
  11. Kotor 2: The knights who says: Ni! Kotor 2: The 50 first (release) dates Kotor 2: The five year plan of the Sith party Kotor 2: Return of the almost last Jedi etc.
  12. Nemo's dead. He's found in the temple where you get the first star map Well, appatently he's been "resurrected" for the lastest TSL demo movie. Ohhhh! He's the dead looking Sith lord (Sorry, I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if thats the guy you are referring to)

  14. Somehow, I doubt very much, that you are going to get a representative view of the hardware in PC land... But anyway: 2.8 Ghz P4 (800Mhz FSB), 2 Gb pc3200 mem on an Asus p4p800 deluxe board(hyperthreading), GeForce FX5900 w. 256 mb mem, 1 80 Gb system disk and 2 120 Gb in a raid 0 (sigh, I really need more disks...), Soundblaster Audigy II and my trusty old Hauppauge tv/radio/ttv card (for watching tv on my computer) and one region free dvd drive and one region 1 dvd burner (that way, I can watch both international dvd's as well as those US ones that checks for RPC1 drives) Way too many peripherals to fit into one room, 5.1 speakers, drawing pad, joystick etc.
  15. Are you looking for hardware geeks or software geeks ?
  16. (typo edited by me) Hehehe... gives the Starforge new potential
  17. Don't say that you don't know Ally and Oz ???
  18. Gorth and I have been together for more than 20 years now, so we are "Old Buddies" He's my alter ego in most things that require a proxy, whether it be old mud games, mailing lists, forums, whatever. Mostly he is just me, as in the real me, although he usually only reflect one personality at a time. Some days cracking bad one-liners, some days brooding and insightful, somedays just bored and midly trolling etc. Mostly a reflection of the person behind the keyboard at the time of writing. No, never really had any trouble keeping the two apart. The real me's identity is not secret, I just don't go around broadcasting it B) If I had to point out a difference between Gorth and me, it would be, that working in a competitive environment amongst lawyers, auditors, FMO's, CEO's etc. Gorth is less "guarded" in his statements and attitude which is a nice release (escapism if you want) from real life every now and then... :ph34r:
  19. Is it really necessary ? Not that I'm against bigger avatars, I just never felt a need for it. I sort of like the "uncluttered" look and feel of these boards (except the NWN section, which is awful).
  20. I don't own a car But then, I live a 10 minute walk from work and the city center, I don't really need one. Whenever I have to leave the safety of my office and face the outside world, I go by taxi bewteen airports and hotels, Boeing 737 between cities and towns and Boeing 747 when travelling between continents. Perhaps I should get a bicycle...
  21. Or they are just the result of sex between normal people (regardless of species). Even if Jedis don't have fun, non-jedi's can also be more or less force sensitive and odds are, that eventually some offspring will be mutants and have a disproportinally high force-sensitivity. Being the deviants and misfits they are, they will occasionally be handed over to the Jedi, being more accustomed to handle stuff like that, to be raised...
  22. You know you are not supposed to do any Bioware bashing in here ? I wonder if that trolling about game companies also apply to Microsoft. Technically, they are a game company, on the other hand, it is MIcrosoft, so we are sort of morally obliged to bash them
  23. We'll just have to wait patiently then...
  24. I'm not much of a SW fan. The only DVD trilogy I want is when the original theatrical release versions becomes avaiable on DVD, unedited, uncut, un-socalled-enhanced (sheesh that was bad) and maybe with a few extras like outtakes, things that didn't make it into the movie, the making of etc. on a disc of its own
