Well, Jung would say its all synchronous, all Baley events are joined by meaning ... and it is pretty obviously what that is ...

Fathers and sons, how sweet their relation to oneanother is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You've got a lot of hours in therapy to look forward to when you get around to sorting all this out ...

You are absolutely right, Baley. You have suffered no ill effects from your exposure to restricted material .... Are you proposing to me?

I think we might be in danger of taking ourselves a bit too seriously. For a start, the geek jokes about not ever meeting a female don't ring true when there is one getting married and another pregnant. It is meant as fun, people have to laugh at themselves. It's healthy.

I presume 360 degree view. Still, they could always call it 400, as in grads.

It does look enticing. :cool: I did like MP2, never played 1.

Baley, your perversion spreads beyond all bounds! -
Bug maybe? atris first meeting. Need help please.

I surrendered without this bug. Hmmm. -
Not in the British military, unless you want to end up on charges! The term used is Ma'am. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ... and ma'am is short for madam, right? So what happens if you call them a madam? " As many as you want? (Just don't pull my tooth out!) :ph34r: Actually, I think I had yesterday's dictionary ... I didn't know there was a new version ... honest!

Star Trek [2]:The Wrath of Khan, Admiral Kirk addressed Kirsty Alley's character as "Mr Savik". " *smacks head* I shall report for re-education immediately.

Deus ex Machina: the Will of The Force ...
metadigital replied to metadigital's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Yep, I was struggling for nouns ( ). [Aside: Buddhists believe that the world is an illusion, don't they? (Or is that just Hinduism?)] To clarify: I noticed a similarity with the way I meditate and the way I examine a situation (skeptically/scientifically/deconstruction-and-re-assemble). Just thought it was a link between East and West philosophical methodologies. -
Is Digital Extremes and Pariah at the show, or will it be released beforehand?

Lighten up dude! That was solid gold. The truth hurts. Perhaps some of them will be jolted out of their comfortable idiocy and actually get a life. I mean, they were acting out the scenes from The Phantom Menace, not Hamlet. What did he say after the little Twi'leck princess? (It is mindly concerning to me that I know what the little girl was saying and how to spell it ...) I assume something along the lines of "get the social workers" to rescue her from the cruel parents ... Spoilers! You will die alone (w00t) ROFLMAO

Those hallucinations you are seeing and voices you are hearing are the onset of schizophrenia... :ph34r: I'm not sure it is a fact beyond dispute. I certainly have always favoured night time over early morning (hence my swingshift work), but as to whether that is nature or nurture is very difficult to determine. (There simply hasn't been any research AFAIK.) Not much gathering going on at night. And I also have had periods where I have been an early riser over an extended time, getting up before 6am. The secret is going to bed in time to get a decent nights sleep: for a six am rally I used to be asleep for ten pm. The midnight sun sure would mess with things, also because snow has a refractive index of something extraordinary like 98%, meaning all the sunlight is reflected into your eyes ... must do some mad things to people. Television and drugs (alcohol) mess things up, too. Good experiments! There are two "awake peaks" -- late morning and late evening -- on the cycle, as well as the nadir in the early "afternoon". These are all relative to the body's "start", so when you go to the other side of the world, for example, you will take time to adjust to the local zone. (If you are so tired that you sleep through the late morning you will not wake up until the evening apogee, which is the stronger of the two anyway.) One thing is for sure, there is a lack of understanding and a lot of misinformation about sleep. "

Absolutely, they are the biggest culprits. I expect American English will continue to diverge from other forms until it is more like esperanto than English.

"Congratualtions. You've taken your first steps into a larger world." Welcome fellow seeker of truth. Asimov did another hort story about the after-life, told in first person narrative from the POV of a man who had just died. Naturally enough, after the initial shock of still existing post-death, he had a conversation with God about what was going on (as you would imagine). Why was he still alive? Very clever man, Mr Asimov. -

Irrespective, the point stands: it is poor English, a further IQ-reducing hammer blow to the already-battered intellect of the English-speaking group consciousness. Dumbing down on a scale foretold by George Orwell, where the language is pruned of "unnecessary" words. Our decendants will all be using a vocabulary of 1000 words with SMS text spelling. Reclaim the word back from the one-dimensional prurient idiom: I like the word a lot and I would hate to see it become simply a perjorative term. I think the feminine forms are cool; I 'd rather be an aviatrix than a boring aviator. Another favourite word is Ambassadress. I think the whole trend is doublepluss bad. :'(

What's good about it is that it is the best film-to-game conversion, the best fun of any of the stable. I guess I'm recalling all that lego play from when I was younger, too, when the problems are solved by deconstructing and reconstituting the lego appliances. Madness that it feels more realistic than KotOR. Madness. It just shows how important virtual world consistency is to immersion.

Xbox 360 Revealed!!!! (Xbox 2)
metadigital replied to Bastilla_Skywalker's topic in Computer and Console
Teraflop? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed, a Teraflop! It can manage a Trillion Floating Point Operations Per? Imagine, a Trillion Operations Per! Floating Point Operations Per, no less. Remarkable. From the people who brought you the Gigahert, no doubt I'll be revealing my new Yst Brand Automobile this month, capable of hitting 220KP (Kilometres per) on a straightaway, consuming only 40L/ (Litres per). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, you guys! You know perfectly well that no one does science past grade 4 in this country, the closest anyone in the media gets to a computer is when they were at school there was a geek in the corner of the room who had one. But: Advertising!; Marketing! Hairdressing!; Telephone Sanitation! -- these are the bulwarks of a society; these are the foundations needed to creted the artistic civilisation of the third millennium! -

It's not really poking fun at Disciple, though, is it? -

Yes, I can think of few others capable of filling the role deployed by the FBI/BATF* in nullifying combatants like those Branch Davidians at Waco. *What a cool government department: Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms. (Cool in a George Orwell kinda way.)
