Can I have a Hindu swastika as my avatar?
Quoted for truth, even jews used it on their buildings before hitler shown up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not too many Jewish people feel like associating with the symbol now, though. As the Nazis assimilated the symbol and are now synonymous with it, I don't think it is a good idea.

NWN2: Discussion
I was disappointed to find a similar result with my experimenting: not just appraise, but the conversation skills, too (bluff, taunt, etc). Basically you have to use your PC.

Wisdom Teeth
It's amazing how primitive a lot of medicine still is: using hardware like chisels and hammers and titanium frames to hold it all together.

Standing up for what is right!
I think that's a bit harsh, Steve; talking of Vietnam, the US hasn't revised the mistakes made there (by the government, too) but in fact made quite a bit deal about it (e.g.) ...

Battlestar Movie and MMORPG in the Works?
actually - with a fear of sounding like a pansy - I like the show .. and have played Sims with great joy .. but a combination of the two? I doubt anything but a minority will find this interesting.. and that minority better stay out of the gaming industry, since I wouldn't want them to have any influence! ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But ... you can benefit from the cash they provide for the MMO to your gaming tastes. :D

They are also programming Alan Wake to utilize multiple CPU cores: e.g. one for AI and one for weather, amongst the other duties.

Battlestar Movie and MMORPG in the Works?
Well, just because it's not your demographic, Rosbjerg, doesn't mean it's a Bad Thing; I can imagine there are a large number of fans of the show (who are predominantly female) that would be attracted into computer gaming by this initiative ... new /expanding markets is good for the industry.

Wisdom Teeth
Well there has to be some benefit to getting old: the dentine darkens (which is why the teeth look browner/yellower; as the previously white dentine changes).

Wisdom Teeth
I don't recall the chemistry (and I'm too busy / lazy to look it up), but the calcium of the teeth turns into limestoney-type material (IIRC).

Black Mesa: Source
Well, I guess if you didn't like the first one enough to think it's worth replaying, then the updated graphics aren't going to entice you, now, are they?

You took the words out of my PC, taks. The solider (who will probably end up on the talk-show and thence onto the lecture circuits as the liberals take up his splash of fame as a cause-c

At least Australia has a decent dental system. Also, it's best to get them out earlier, before the jaw solidifies into bone in the late twenties / early thirties.

Standing up for what is right!
The US hasn't signed up to the relevant treaty, so much so that its troops are subject to War Crimes trials, by definition.

Favorite Quotations
Religion is not merely the opiate of the masses, it's the cyanide. Tom Robbins I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world. The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. Richard Dawkins Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. George Orwell Death is not the greatest of evils; it is worse to want to die, and not be able to. Sophocles Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal. Albert Camus

Battlestar Movie and MMORPG in the Works?
They could potentially make it into a Freelancer-type MMORPG, with some creative licence.
