  1. I thought the topic was about the name chosen for the PC in KotOR:TSL, as Mr Varen made such a point of this in his post. Put it down to this cold I have; my mental state is still somewhat clouded.
  2. Well, otherwise the (let's assume) minority who desire the RIGHT to intoxicate themselves however they wish are held under a tyranny of the remaining majority. Hence free societies are inherently fairer.
  3. Dying to live?
  4. Why is that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because it has nothing to do with KotOR, so it is Way Off-Topic? "
  5. No. Information just wants to be free, and it just ejaculates out of me. Actually, I was reminded of a previous topic a while ago where someone wanted to know if all animals were bisexual by default; I subsequently realised this fact had been omitted.
  6. Yes, purely because the MILLIONS of free citizens who volunteered their lives in order that you might live in a free country. In their name, you owe the ideals for which they fought allegiance.
  7. Linkies? :'(
  8. Total Recall: VerHoeven AND Arnie, together! I've been looking for this film for ages; finally got a chance to raid the London HMV.
  9. Sure, hence the success of the zero-tolerance approach in NYC, for example. I was interested in the hard data (haven't seen a lot of it before for recidivism).
  10. Lovely idea, let's put it in the Star Wars forum.
  11. Is it stored as a global variable? Maybe it is a hang-over from the Aurora engine? Good information, thanks.
  12. Hey, don't forget that it wasn't until Queen Anne's reign (1707ish) that England finally out-muscled the French and left the Dutch in their dust when it came to trade (both of which goals were begun back at least as far as QE1's reign, when she inherited a bankrupt country with no military power and a non-existent grasp of the trade routes and far-off partners.
  13. It wasn't really Bush Sr's fault: he was just following the conditions set out by the UN and "The Coalition of the Willing" (and in direct contrast to Stormin' Norman's unequivocal advice).
  14. (Dad was born in 1920, so he had a good innings, and he was in a fair bit of pain just before he went, so it was a small mercy. I saw him the day before he died.) Yeah, I think it will involve some ultra-Zionists.
  15. Yes, it is completely inappropriate.
  16. I'd like to ask dear old Dad, but I'll need some sort of super-technology, as he died six years ago (in twelve days' time). I hear what you're saying though; someone follows the Holy Bloodline, though ... is it the Rosicrucians?
  17. There's a new 18.5MB patch out now, above the first 1.03 one.
  18. No, and it sucks. Grrrr... :angry: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Am I the only one that has no problems ignoring them? I rarely turn them off because I don't really read them anyways. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can skip dialogue (mouse button? can't remember off-hand because it has quickly become a learned reflex) after the initial and before the last screen, as well as pause it. And I read it faster than they speak, so I always skip at least some of it.
  19. Yeah, it sounds like a problem with the drive (either driver or hardware).
  20. They haven't settled after the new CPU tech, yet. They are just a bit messy, and there is only one that has three usable PCI-e slots, for example (and the DirectX10 cards, for example, may be much better use for PhysX calculations, as it allows the calculations that are output by the GPU to be used as input). The mobos at the moment are just too "patched" ... even the Intel-compatible ones haven't all standardized on the new standards (details escape me at the moment, the 975X chipset thinggie (Northbridge interface?): some mobos use the 965X, and are faster).
  21. A Mason. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :D He's blowing smoke up your ass! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe, I didn't get to read his Bible (I was not that interested at the time), but I have read the Holy Blood, Holy Grail series (including the third book of the series all about the Masons), and my father was one.
  22. You're telling me.
  23. That's a standard error message from Windows. It could be caused by ANYTHING, most likely you hadn't shut-down recently, or else your Anti-Virus software is over-active. You need to post: your computer specifications, the Operating System (Windows XP Home / Pro, etc) and what you had open at the time. You have not posted nearly enough information to allow anyone to help you.
  24. It's a digital rights thing; Realplayer allows the Beeb to use a standard lookup-table for their programming, so that the client (on one's PC) just looks at the address of the broadcast. This means if you store a recording and the programme changes (as in seven days pass), it will point to whatever was on the at that time THIS week. And it sucks.
