Why do they need to be "overcome?" I might have been a little vague with this so let me try to clarify. I will use the topic of sex since it is so near and dear to all of us, not to mention necessary for the continuation of the species! Sex at i

Since I've been 'dabbling' into my computer and the wonderful technology behind/within it I have learned many interesting things. I have seen that a few of you have added your system info into a post or two, showing add ons and upgrades that have been performed. Now this isn't a game topic per se, but I am curious about your systems. Therefore I have started this thread for you all to come and post your system specs (preferably focusing on upgrades that you have made, but also commenting on you

And Azrune, shut up. You can't be tatical in space....it's not logical. I wasn't going to weigh in on this thread until I saw this. Misspelling aside, how the hell does anyone figure that you can't have tactical combat in space? Besides the obvious fact that 'any' combat form is considered to be 'tactical', what insight do you have to lend to yo

then why doesn't your brain hurt Actually the brain has no nerve receptors to sense 'pain' so... it is physically impossible for the brain to feel anything. This is how they can perform brain surgery on a patient only sedated with a local. They keep the patient awake so that he/she can respond to the surgeon's signals/requests. The only risk of

I have a former Christian friend who is very serious about the notion of eternal life in *this* world. That would be all fine and good except for one thing... The transition our 'soul' is supposed to make upon death would in essence never happen so long as we reside in our physical state. From my readings over the years, this enlightenment

i heard the new nvidia geforce 8800 gtx is preety good too Yes, it is a very good card if you're into nvidia (which I am)but the high price and the fact that I eventually want to run an SLI setup kept me in the 200.00 range. Plus, I don't play FPS's, like F.E.A.R. and Doom, so my graphics needs aren't the greatest. But like I said elsewhere, I w

Not to rain on your parade but besides a maximum current drawn from each different power rail, there's also a minimum current drawn requirement as well. This is due to issues of stability. You might want to verify that it's OK to draw no load on your two currently unused 12V rails. Mumblefratz, your words are never rain for my parades! I look f

This is all well and good. The best advice after all of the 'research' that I've performed is this: My HP comes w/a 300 watt psu, pushing 19 amps on the one and only 12v rail that I am aware of (as an aside, my older HP 7955 has a 100 watt psu and it came with a graphics card?!?). Now this should be enough to power everything under a 'full load' with little difficulty... should be. The problem is, unless you are running some software to monitor everything as you go about your daily routine

would you rather the perp be misguided youth or an experienced entrepreneur? Honestly, I would rather have the 'professional'. My reasoning is that inexperienced youth could be there for any number of reasons... therefore their 'state of mind' could be questionable and you really don't know how they would react to say, walking in on them, or in

Why is that? From what I've seen it all has to do with marketing costs and such. It would probably cost way too much for Stardock to go through all the hoops towards retail. That's probably why they will package the game and expansion when it does hit retail... to keep costs low. Just my op.

Creativity gives you a chance to research techs quicker than expected occasionally. Yes, but IIRC the description of this racial bonus reads in such a way that it implies a bonus to come up with a totally new, unknown tech... at least in v1.4DL. So then I guess it is safe to assume that it is in fact worded incorrectly?

We would still need the concept of the rule of law in order to make people apprehensive about breaking the "basic moral foundation" of "do unto others." Yes, I understand this. However my question was more 'philosophical' in nature in the sense that I was implying that we as individuals wouldn't need to be 'reminded' if we truly enlightened ours

The use of the phrase "the rule of law" is also supposed to refer to the idea that as well as being rigorously upheld, the laws are created in a fair and reasoned manner, and are logically consistent with each other and the social values of the society that made them. But are laws in themselves moral? Is the death penalty not immoral, regardles

If Evil S coined this term, ten thousand huzzahs for it. He deserves at least a thousand if only for sharing. Well thank you for the huzzahs but I really don't deserve them.
