Ah, I see you are a stranger to the process of software due diligence. One major problematic consideration is that every change to a piece of software, no matter how small and well intentioned, can potentially affect every other line of code in an unpredictable way: predictability inversely proportional to complexity of code. So just imagine what an ad hoc, poorly thought out patch might do ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unless the code is properly decoupled <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And all the pigs are refueled, with their flightplans filed and ready for take-off ...

Guess we know what categorisation you come under ... "

Is that like drowning ..?

PS I love your sig. Wicked.

That would be paladins. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think a scythe weilding cleric of Death and War would rock <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dress it up as much as you like, the cleric is just a healing spell with a life-support system. "

Good reports about the new driver (6.2), apparently c. 40% speed up on OpenGL (Doom 3 type games) and a good 10%-ish on DirectX.

Amen. Game OVER, man! End of thread.

Meaningless.

What do I get to skip? :'( They just couldn't sell it in any stores in the USA ...

It was released today in Britain. I had a copy on pre-order. (Won BEST FILM from he audience of Johnathan Ross's Film 2005.)

There is a DVD at Woolworths I saw the other day.

I've been waiting to see it again since it left the cinemas ... stupid Hollywood producers and their segmented markets ... :angry:

(w00t) ... er, I mean, no. No, just an appreciation thread ... "

Iron Spider Man?! Linkie? I can't see Kirsten Dunst signing up for more films after the third (especially for a low price), which is why I think the producers will take the opportunity to kill off MJ and introduce new f-buddy for Spidey. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry, no link ragrding the cartoon. It was only a few episodes anyway and he played a small part. However in comic world, Spider-Man is getting or already has a new suit made by tony stark. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is Iron Man meant to be a baddie now, or something? Also, I though tTony Stark had died of alcoholism, and that black dude was now Iron Man ...?

No Buffy cast (actually I can't abide the other crap Whedon's done): it was a whole new crew. Check out ANY of the links to see a cast list. It will certainly come to cable. It has also just made it's money back ($40m to make) so let's hope that bodes well for a sequel ...

Serenity. Just watched it through again. And the extra deleted scenes, and the other extra bits.

... Extras from a Michael Jackson pop video?

Don't ask questions, just make lots of heat and noise! http://www.fireflyfans.net/main.asp http://www.fireflymovie.com/ (w00t) PS I don't think the form 308 will help in the short term, but it will give us an email address to spam untill Universal promise to make a sequel ... that's the theory, anyway ...

http://www.serenitymovie.com/ Go and tell Universal: http://signup.universalstudios.com/form/308 (w00t) I mean (w00t)

There is always a bias towards clerics, because no-one wants to play the goody-two-shoes whiney wimps. "

Yeah, anything with a refresh less than 20ms should be okay for all but the most demanding stuff, like watching Bad Boys 2 (one of the tests). A lot of panels are down below 12ms, some even 4ms.

The character generator mod I linked to will help create any character you might want, and equip them anyhow.

Well, you seem pretty optimistic. Who said *every* fan has to be pleased? If it's a good game then people will buy it: if I like it I'll buy it; others won't. Perhaps the most interesting comment you make is the reference (unconscious?) to "The Next Generation",

Energy weapons? Already here: SDI. How about hydrogen powered cars? No exhaust except water vapour. Or did you want some sort of nuclear propulsion? A gram of Uranium powers a Nuclear Submarine for years ... Does it have to be savages? We'll need to first come to a definition of what a soul is ...
