  1. Irrelevant, though, as it is the "Socratic thought" as a bunch of metaphysical ontological observations rather than what some historical figure may or may not have actually said. Imagine where we'd be if people were insisting on a fundamentally verbatim literal transcription of historical figures everywhere ...
  2. That is one of my all-time favorite flicks. Almost a masterpiece <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whadyamean "almost"? The best thing that could have happened during filming was the model shark's almost-complete technical failure, causing the film to centre on the (very real) personality conflicts between the protagonists, and specifically Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfus ... :D
  3. I just realised how true it is that all philosophy is really Socrates and everyone since have added footnotes ...
  4. Your address is on file ...
  5. Confirmation Bias Yes.
  6. sorry, your understanding of the subject matter is incorrect. there is no "proof" of 3D space. only observation and perception. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Further, you lot are all just a very noisy bunch of delusions in my (don't say solipsistic!) existential plane of perception-consciousness.
  7. That film was the first of the great British Oscar winning tide-that-never-happened! (I have seen it before, you luddite.)
  8. Excellent. Bought and paid for, being shipped. I love it when someone tries to "explain" maths (and especially when they aren't trained in the white-coat priesthood). Kafty, just because you have trouble visualising more than three-plus-one dimensions, doesn't mean it can't exist. (Hint: watch the video again.) (But I still wub you. ) I've seen a (model) of a fourth dimensional hypercube: it is basically a cube within a similar cube, both on the same focus, and all the apexes are joined by vertices (that would be perpendicular, rather than isosceles-angled, in the real hyper-cube). Another way I have been taught to imagine higher dimensions is to take the fourth dimension as a row (i.e. a line of) cubic tables; similarly the fifth dimension is a table of these three dimensional tables, and the six is a cube of cubes. (In fact, quite similar to the example, linked above.) I was pretty happy to see the entire contents of our universe, and anything we could imagine in it, catered for in the ten dimensional mapping. I am still considering if there are further dimensions ... Well, electricity was thought to be pretty useless at the time Faraday did his experiments and nowadays our whole lives depend on it. The same could be said about relativity and quantum physics as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Electricity is real, string theory is just a theory. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Excellent argument. So tell me, is light a particle or a wave?
  9. Except Cylons were killing humans in another galaxy years before KITT was even a sketch on a draftsman's serviette.
  10. Just about to watch Chariots of Fire.
  11. I was in Naples for the Italy 3, Ukraine 0 match ... and still in Italy for the Italy 2, Germany 0 match ... incomparable experience ...
  12. Under the context, it would have been perfect It's not Square's fault they didn't tank <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kinda reverse psychological marketing ploy ...
  13. That's what save games are for ... Just ordered Alpha Centauri, but haven't played any games since I installed Fallout (as first of the series) ... haven't really played much at all, really ... hesitant to install Space Rangers 2, not because I had such a blast playing it for a few weeks and then lost my save games, but because I am leery of installing the copy protection as I still haven't ascertained what caused my previous harddrive catastrophe ...
  14. And how is Germany meant to beat them in a penalty shoot-out if England don't make it?
  15. No, you just change clothes. It has to do with the plot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No expense spared in this production, I see ... it even includes A PLOT!
  16. Maybe you should move to Utah? )
  17. I can tell you want to play it now ...
  18. I'd heard that it was similar. But at that point Survival Horror was it's own Genre... and as I recall Capcom didn't even invent it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I remember playing Crypt of Medea on the Apple ][, back in 1984 ...
  19. Yeah, Baley got them all. Also, I only picked that head for Wals because I thought it was funny to picture his personality with a handlebar mustache. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So I have two identities ...
  20. That depends highly on the movie. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fair enough. EDIT: Outside of Pearl Harbour, I can't think of many long movies that have sucked ass to the point where I stop watching though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Two words: Peter Jackson. *runs out of the thread before seeing any spoilers*
  21. He's not "underrated", he's just limited. Every role is "Bruce Willis" (or his public image of himself) acting in a different setting. Which is okay, but I got a lot of that when I watched Moonlighting.
  22. I have been warned every day for the last week of Lovesan attacks, for example:
