  1. It is not required, but once you have it, it enhances the beauty. When I look at a sunset, the fact that the light took just under nine minutes to reach my eyes, from the 4000
  2. I thought you were proud of your fundamentalist belief in the Bible as the absolute divinely-inspired word of God? Strong evidence that there is no God? I have a few questions regarding that point if you don't mind. If there is strong evidence proving the non-existence of God, why would the majority of earth's population remains religious and the percentage for pure athiests stays less than 10%? Why would so many greatest minds throughout human history strongly believe in the existence of god? People like Newton, Descartes or Socrates; on top of being the greatest scientists, they are also great philosophers and made many breakthroughs in the field of religion. I agree with you that there is little physical evidence for a universal god or a creator, but over 5 billion people alive today and those great names I just mentioned can easily stand as proof that a personal god exists. Of course, whether the proof is substantial is still up for debate, but you must realize that at 1:5, athiests do not have great odds here. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What's that, julian's probabilistic rationale of the existence of God? So God does do dice? Be careful with this argument. I would agree that there is no compelling evidence for or against the existence of God. From the COED(11ed): faith n noun 1 complete trust or confidence. 2 strong belief in a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. → a particular religion. ORIGIN Middle English: from Old French feid, from Latin fides. Faith requires no proof. In fact, with proof, there is no need for faith.
  3. That's Buddhism, isn't it?
  4. You have a lot of "those days", don't you Mothie? A quiet word in your shell-like ear: To be offended by others when they challenge an article of your faith, if you have insufficient faith then you may feel insecure. You may take it as a fault in you. If you are confident in your own judgement (as subjective as that is) then you will not feel under attack. Others are free to believe as they choose; you should extend the same courtesy that you enjoy: the right to make up one's own mind.
  5. Interesting fatalist belief, there. But you are mistaken, hope changes the way a person feels whilst living. ... Already I can see the chain reaction; the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion, designed specifically to overwelm logic and reason, an emotion that is already blinding you from the simple and obvious truth ... ... Hope. It is the quintessential human emotion: simultaneously the source of [humans'] greatest strength and [humans'] greatest weakness. ... The Architect, Matrix Reloaded
  6. I started a poll a while back aimed towards people who don't believe in the existance of souls. Basically the question was since it doesn't exist to you and it's worthless, would you sell it to a person that approached you and offered you $500 for it, contract at the ready and all. To be fair most people stuck to their guns and said yes but there were a few that wanted to know if the guy knew something that they didn't about the value before signing up. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sounds like an intriguing new basis for an economic miracle (*chuckle*). Can you imagine people buying their own spirits back after they are floated on the soul exchange? :D
  7. Ah, but which one? ? Actually I was introduced to the link on this forum (Jags / Nartwak / apologies if I have mistakenly omitted your name here, whomever it was ... ) Attention. Seriously, congratulations on solving one of the great metaphysical quandaries of civilization: from Socrates to Ren
  8. So Delaware is long gone, then ...
  9. Maybe this might be a clue, too: Obsidian is searching for a new lead designer, for its 4th project - Project Georgia?
  10. Absolutely spot on. This is a much better scenario. Keyboards aren't made for a console; they wouldn't work in the environment and they would have the exact opposite result, namely detracting from the games' appeal. A better interface is needed. Perhaps that is the Ninty controller? Time will tell. I hope so ...
  11. I have a Rumblepad2 and the game automatically detected and configured it, but it sort of messed up the button layout. So, I went to my friend's place, wrote down his PS2 control scheme and just reassigned the buttons that way. That worked perfectly. BTW, the rumble function is supported as well, for example you can feel when Lucas' hartbeat suddenly accelerates during the restaurant scene. Oooooooo. Sounds vewy vewy appealing ... Shut up! RTFT!
  12. No, just emphasised for those who appreciate the beauty of the human female figure in action.
  13. The fact is that the Lego Star Wars game was more interesting and FUN to play than any other LA product (for the last decade, anyway). So just taking the game on its merits (seemingly a foreign concept to someone with a preconceived idea of who a game is for), it is worth playing and more than deserves asequel. What are you, a FUN NAZI?! <_<
  14. It is a trecherous path, best by the tyrannies of evil men. I put a lot of credence in PC Format, simply because there testing is rigorous. The magazine tested power supplies a few months ago, in October, to determine if the advertised wattage was a fair indication of the reliable power supplied. Half of the thirty-odd PSUs BLEW UP under
  15. The Moth simulation is just trying to make us think otherwise ...
  16. An Epic masterpiece. Bravo.
  17. 36000 Mp ! Beats a 1.3Mp camera ...
  18. The screaming sound of metal against metal should have tipped you off.
  19. He's hiding. In bed. Behind that teddy!
  20. Character: Eldar Attirbutes: Has become crabby in his OE senility. ...
  21. Damn. That's too many. *counts fingers* *smacks head* ten minus two equals eight. No problem: I can do that. "
  22. Actually, the fact that my laptop is a Pentium M (low-voltage: less heat, better performance
  23. I wsan't suggesting any performance issues. I was asking if anyone had mapped the keys to a gamepad. I bought the damn gamepad, and I wanna use it every chance I get. Normally I can't be bothered to transcribe 148 key combinations over into a configuration document, however, the fact it's only four keys might tempt me to do so.
  24. Depends on whether you have a SATA-II compliant interface controller (specifically for the Native Command Queuing NCQ), or not: Quiet, non-SATA II: Samsung SpinPoint P120S [uK Custom PC] COMPANY: Samsung PRICE:
