It wasn't a mistake grant the Moth A SINGLE TOMBS POINT for admiting he was a menace to good taste! PS Nartwak, what the hell is that girl doing in your sig.?

Anyone that can get away with it does it. :D

Just let your bot battle it out with their bots, until the stakes raise (or you lose your ante). "

Aren't you playing Boiling Point!? No playing more than one game at a time! :angry:

I have an image of you vamping it up now, Gabs, with the PVC and thigh-boots, etc.

Um, yes. Thank you for wearing my watch and telling me the time: how much do I owe you for that service?

Yeah. I cheat with my computer: I use my business requirements to subsidize my gaming IT-upgrade addiction. "

I meant illumination inasmuch as knowledge is power, rather than energy is the form of light.

One of the key points of technology is that anyone can use it. Where as Magic tends to be something that only a small % of the populace can use. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, not really. A fighter can quaff a healing potion. What percentage of the population can explain how the internal combustion engine works, as a proportion of those that use one every day? The only reason you feel that technology is omnipresent democratic yawnfest is because of James Watts and the rest of the Lunar Society that helped birth the Industrial revolution, and Henry Ford's moving assembly line, et alia.

Unintentional. Just bringing light. ^_^

And the horse he rode in on.

Sectarian violence is frequently the worst: slightly different interpretations cause fractious anger. Catholics and Protestants in the sixteenth century? Beruit was destroyed in a week by various sects in the 70s. Savage stuff. :ph34r:

Wow. I actually agree with some of what you said Mothie. That just goes to prove the old adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

No, the similarity is entirely accidental. " You want to be careful, though, if the RIAA gets wind of it they'll make you pay for a public licence, like the British version tried to do to a vile hairdressers that dared to have the RADIO playing in the background of the shop. :angry:

Beautiful japanese girl doing nude katana sparring with african dude.

... not to mention Captain Comic looks like Colossus.

Am I the only one to notice the similarity between the Windows logon tune and the original Star Trek theme?

You mean the Osiris bit?

This is like asking me to recall how many pair of shoes I have ever warn. I couldn't differentiate between all of the different plays I have read, especially the tragedies. Charles Dickens's Great Expectations gave me an insight into real life that was particularly propitious. My secondary school Calculus text book (ironically) rocked my faith in the perfection of mathematics. Messianic Legacy was an eye-opener.

Animatrix wasn't too bad.

I'm curious...how do you define "police state" in your book? Despite having local yocals from Houston spouting off about Camaera's in homes, the overwhelming majority of Americans, including our politicians, would never allow that to happen. As a nation we have our shortcomings, as does every nation, but to say we're anywhere near a "police state" or a "true totaliterian" state is ridiculus. I also find it interesting that the comments of a local Police Chief somehow become represenative of the federal governments feelings on the issue. That's like assuming how I feel about the death penalty if indicative of how the Governor of the state of Maryland feels about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> now don't go and get all reasonable in the middle of a rant thread... that just won't be tolerated. HA! Good Fun! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, but if we don't create a storm, then, later, when the idea is floated again, it might be passed by "reasonable people" who don't see the big deal. That reminds me of something Terry Gilliam said recently: "When we made Brazil we were making a film about a hypothetical future with a totalitarian government. Little did we know that it would actually happen ..." Looks like anarchy n noun 1 a state of disorder due to absence or non-recognition of government or other controlling systems. 2 a society or political system founded on the principles of anarchism. ORIGIN C16: via medieval Latin from Greek anarkhia, from anarkhos, from an- 'without' + arkhos 'chief, ruler'. is a government without a central command structure (analogous to a distributive administrative system like the internet), versus chaos n noun 1 complete disorder and confusion. ⇒Physics the property of a complex system whose behaviour is so unpredictable as to appear random, owing to great sensitivity to small changes in conditions. 2 the formless matter supposed to have existed before the creation of the universe. ORIGIN C15 (denoting a gaping void): via French and Latin from Greek khaos 'vast chasm, void'. Definitions from Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 11th Ed. which is a total lack of all organisation. To illustrate: a society using Anarchy does not preclude distributive government. Chaos means no clear pattern: true randomness. Koalas! (w00t) They do not form straight away (dermal friction ridges).
