I did a small bit of research into Peter and apparently that was not his first encounter. See: http://www.ufoesa.com/peter-khoury-experiences-1988.html I would really like to see a better study done on the DNA, that experience of Peters happened in 1992, our DNA technology is so much better now. I don't know what to believe but I am

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="615" id="2873442"] Why isn't gravity more or less strong today than it was yesterday? Why is it stable over time? Why is lightspeed 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum? Why isn't it 10 miles per second or 1 million miles per second? Why was it 186,000 miles per second yesterday and why will it be 186,000 miles per second tomorrow? In short, why is there stable order within these fundamental laws? How does chaos, or randomness, sp

[quote who="DocCBM" reply="605" id="2873066"] 'Science zealot' is a bit of a contradiction. If we take 'zealot' to be 'a fanatic who does not tolerate opposing views', this tends to violate the primary tennets of science. You know...the one where EVERYTHING is true until proven false, and NOTHING is sacred. Closed minds are unable to contemplate the possibility of being wrong. This is contrary to scientific method.

[quote]Speaking of radiation, when you have a radioactive particle, there is nothing that causes it to decay now rather than four seconds from now (or whatever number you want to throw in there). It's random.[/quote] No, someday we will find something to manipulate that will either increase or decrease the rate of decay, so I wouldn't say its totally random [e digicons];P[/e] *edit* I just remembered!

I took a look at your mods and quickly worked out who you were :) Because you joined up I had to scrap my first map for a bigger one [e digicons]:'([/e] I don't have lawns to mow after work tonight so I'll get the map set up and sent to NT Jedi who will add some fun to it.

I'd say the developers know about the dull world issue and are ramping up to fix it in the announced expansion. Kael, David and Jon have really only just got on board, it will be some time before we see in Elemental much of their work. I've had the game since the beta and watched it develop. After release I vowed not to play it until the famed 1.1 patch, that turned into not playing until 1.11 (due to real life) and the change I have seen is really encouraging.

I sometimes agree with the OP when I come here. I am also a realist and understand that while Stardock allow the language on the forum then it will be used by somebody, even if to just annoy those don't like it. Neither do I think Stardock should police language, but sometimes I think that I wouldn't like children on these forums, reading what some people post. Sometimes

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="173" id="2864030"] Most pirates aren't going to run out and fork out 60 dollars on a game because after pirating a game because it's good. I know some people say they do that, and some probably actually do, but I suspect most don't. You do have a point about this weird idea that a pirated copy equals a lost sale. It doesn't, and that's already been proven. There are, of course, perfectly legal torrents too. STO released it's beta client via torrent and it was h

[quote who="FadedC" reply="41" id="2863887"] That really describes just about every old school RPG every made. Some kind of a distinguishing feature would be helpfull.[/quote] :) You are correct. A hint, Its pretty much Bards Tale, but its not Bards Tale I, II or III. I think it had some extras like being able to disarm your opponents.

[quote who="BlueInstinct" reply="170" id="2863782"]I think the main problem with all that 'we have to stop the piracy' lies in a big bad missunderstanding. just because i pirated a given game or music, that really doesnot mean i would have bought it in the first place so in this logical sense, i never stole something, since the company didnot lost anything. but, sometimes, a company i would have never paid a single cent because i just wouldnot know them, earns

[quote who="scratchthepitch" reply="167" id="2863710"] I wouldn't call it a remake, more a graphics upgrade. I thought it was a console game adapted to computer, the mechanics of it are that retro. Cheats galore and an incredibly clumsy interface, the game seemed like something out of the early 90's, except for the graphics, which are well done. But I cant see what about that game justified it's $20 or more price tag, it's piracy golldangit . There is so much wrong with this game, it
