  1. Sounds like the system needs to be fixed then.
  2. Should be pretty trivial to engineer new species that use this alternative source of life, too ... a whole genetically modified ecosystem ...
  3. And so this thread closes with nary so much as a whimper. And no pet toasting.
  4. It's sensationalistic drivel and not worthy of the "science" categorisation. The author was paid by a lad's mag; I can guess the brief. It would require the troll subrace of Morlocks-alike to exclusively breed amongst themselves, for a start. As if there was some biological imperative, some survival advantage.
  5. I think the tilesets are much more flexible (people who have used the SDK, this is your cue to make a comment). I have asked; I'm not particularly motivated to go look, but I'd guess it was in the 80s. " I think it is a good review: tells you what is good and what is not, without divulging spoilers. (I know how difficult it is for you to undrestand that last bit, Volo, but see!, it is possible. ;p ) That comment must be taken in context with the antecedent: "With your ability to Rest almost anywhere, and a full-team instead of NwN's solitary Henchman, there are a few surprises during your missions, and little challenge". In other words, you can rest after every fight, and all the fights in a given dungeon will be of the same approximate difficulty, until the boss. I'm not sure who you are accusing of lying, but it is a little odd that the minimum requirements are a 512MB 3D card; that is probably a misprint and might be 128MB / 256MB SM2 3D card.
  6. He should have said it with a faux French accent, like Inspector Clouseau? "
  7. It's included in the Collector's Editions of NwN2...
  8. Probably one of those skills that are already maxed out, like IFF or eye-lights . :D
  9. I dunno, mental trauma from physical abuse is not a fleeting thing ...
  10. Like Arnie's character in Twins? )
  11. Yeah, I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey the other day with a virgin. )
  12. Might want to create a list of your requirements and then post a topic in Skeeter's, where the more technically-savvy forumites will be able to give advice. This is more a discussion about the marketing image versus the product for the PC market.
  13. I don't think the right to sue should be abrogated; I think it should be mitigated with common-sensical measures, like waivers. There was a large movement about a decade ago in Australia to write all contracts (specifically business leases, etc, as there is a real driver to keep expenses down) in plain English to avoid the litigious feeding frenzy that may occur when deciphering antiquated prose, because this is just a contract. Seems pretty straight forward; sign a waiver and (barring egregious circumstances) voluntarily give up the "right" to sue the school for accidental damage. There is still the facility to sue if there was some sort of negligence (lack of maintenance on equipment, for example). I can't see it being a big deal.
  14. A lot of cheap PSUs don't provide stable voltages at their named levels, too.
  15. Change them from "automatic" to "enabled", or whatever the option is.
  16. I'd do that too, but I'm going through HotU instead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd be tempted to install and play NwN: HotU, except for the .
  17. Yeah, gotta agree with that; I played UUT for about half-an-hour before unistalling the demo: not my cup of tea. But it will power almost EVERY game for the next five years or so, just like the previous versions (Deus Ex was built on UT, after all).
  18. It's a Volo thread.
  19. I really enjoy the buried details, deep in the game, like the geopolitically-astute barman (with the atrocious accent) with whom JC discusses the nature of free government. )
  20. My rig didn't, but that is probably because the test doesn't understand the capabilities of a Pentium M. For example, Half-Life 2 wasn't meant to work, and it does quite well.
  21. I think the X1900 cards DRAW 270W.
  22. I saved different profiles, one with bare minimum processes running and one with the normal processes. I ended up not keeping it, even though it was a lot faster, because invariably there would be a process that I needed. Now I just hibernate rather than shutdown most of the time, so I don't have to wait the ten minutes for start-up.
