New terrorist threat! in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 09:57 Profile Homepage #9 SARS caused over 800 deaths. Avian flu has killed under 100. Avian flu may become the next flu pandemic, but there are no guarantees. That wasn't a deliberate Morrissey quote. In fact, I had to use Google to figure out what you were talking about, and I'm still not entirely sure. Isn't panic in the streets a reasonably common idiom? —Alorael, who is exactly the kind of person who would be the first to go in a flu epidemic, and this reminds him that he still hasn't gotten his flu vaccine for the year.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 09:51 Profile Homepage #13 I, Richard White character, do not deserve a cult of my own. My implants belong to the true creator, and I will await his second coming (or his having been here the whole time, but only after a certain point, as the case may be) with faith, piety, and implants. —Alorael, who will, however, accept any donations or oaths of eternal servitude on behalf of the cult. Free implants every Thursday, except when they aren't free or aren't given out on Thursday! Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 08:51 Profile Homepage #13 Distribution of Spiderweb games (with a few exceptions) is acceptable and even encouraged as long as you don't distribute registration with the game. If you just send the folder containing the game, you don't share your registration. Problem solved. —Alorael, who believes the only exceptions are Nethergate and BoE, both of which have separate demo and full versions, not registration codes.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 08:48 Profile Homepage #6 I am not SMoE. Although we are strikingly similar, we can always be distinguished by our respective choices of instrument and the degree of zeal with which we pursue the musical arts. And a few other things. —Alorael, who should stop deleting his double posts so everyone can keep tabs on them. There really aren't that many! Honest!

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 08:45 Profile Homepage #10 Your statement has two possible meanings, both of which have interesting implications. 1. Osama bin Laden is the only one you don't know personally. This means you do know the others personally. Including Jesus. 2. You don't know who Osama bin Laden is, and therefore may be located under a rock, or at least isolated from all major news sources including the internet. —Alorael, who is as popular as Jesus right now.

Its that time of the year again in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Wednesday, December 7 2005 08:41 Profile Homepage #26 Default image editing for Mac is something of a question mark. Some Macs ship with Appleworks, I think, and that has a good paint setup. Powerbooks don't come with Appleworks, though. They have GraphicConverter, which includes some more advanced but less intuitive image editing (and no paintbrush that I can find). Then there's, OmniGraffle, which is excellent for creating diagrams and, as best I can tell from five minutes of trying, really difficult to paint with. In conclusion, there is no single default Mac application like MS Paint. The Appleworks suite probably comes closest, and it's not on all Macs. —Alorael, who finds this very disturbing. Is he missing an application in his GIMP and Illustrator (and Appleworks) snobbery? Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 20:50 Profile Homepage #7 quote: Wikipedia (citing the WHO) on SARS Nortality by age group as of 8 May 2003 is below 1% for people aged 24 or younger, 6% for those 25 to 44, 15% in those 45 to 64 and more than 50% for those over 65. SARS is scary. Not panic in the streets scary, but scary. —Alorael, who is more afraid of SARS. His projected lifetime risk is probably higher, although that really depends on where SARS pops up and whether he decides to dance on a highway at night.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 20:46 Profile Homepage #5 It's relevant! Fantasoft is given credit in E1 and E2! —Alorael, who would like to know if this means that Realmz and all scenarios for it are going to be released for free. If so, the price will make them almost worth playing. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 20:37 Profile Homepage #58 This means there are now three Blademasters on Spiderweb, a state of affairs about which I am most ambivalent. —Alorael, who now sees Sullust's strategy and must admit that making absurdly long series of actors in the hopes that someone will eventually connect something is a good way to get points.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 17:49 Profile Homepage #0 As of 11/10/05, Fantasoft has vanished from the internet. The maker of Realmz and New Centurions (Realmz with guns. Well, more guns), and the distributor of a number of other games, including the earlier Exiles, seems to have shut its virtual doors, possibly forever. Farewell, Fantasoft. You brought us bugs, typos, and some rare moments of joy. —Alorael, who can't explain what urge made him check the Fantasoft website. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Not many, especially since physics tends to suffer less from budget cuts and moral guidance, but it only takes one. —Alorael, who is just glad nobody found the government's stockpiles of Ice 9.

Which Russian composer... in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 15:44 Profile Homepage #12 I like almost all of Dvorák's music. His 9th symphony is just, like Beethoven's, his instantly recognizable work. Rachmaninoff is very good too, but some of his music just has too much bangy piano for me. Tchaikovsky is hit or miss, and while I'm not hugely familiar with Shostakovitch, I don't love what I do know. Ef, Smetana was Czech, not Russian. —Alorael, whose favorite president of the United States was Chef Boy-R-Dee (possibly spelled differently).

A4 - The New Geneforge? in Avernum 4
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, December 6 2005 10:37 Profile Homepage #36 I didn't even really process the fact that the screen layout is different. It doesn't bother me. The thing that confuses me now is that small stalagmites are passable in A1-3 and impassable in A4, but that's life. If you read the A4 threads, you will see some of the critical differences between A4 and previous Avernums and between A4 and Geneforge. It's a very different engine. —Alorael, who is quite certain that the game would still have a different engine (and a remarkably different atmosphere) if all the graphics were replaced with two-dimensional stick figures.

My epiphany is much more important and far-reaching! —Alorael, who also has to acknowledge that his epiphany is based on another faulty movie link. Back to the drawing board...

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, December 5 2005 20:58 Profile Homepage #8 So there's Drakey, who may or may not be RW, and Jeff Vogel, who may or may not be Drakey and/or RW. I, Richard White Character, am not Zxquez, and Zxquez was established as everyone else long ago. Does this mean Zxquez (and, transitively, you who are reading this) is RW, or that Zxquez is not RW? —Alorael, who will have to come up with a lot of anagrams. Few will be this exciting, either. Alas, the tribulations of a life of many names are truly terrible. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Physics questions. in General
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, December 5 2005 20:53 Profile Homepage #32 Yes, the pressure depends on how much water is pressing on the hole. Everything vaporizes in a vacuum at any temperature, I think. Well, anything not experiencing enough gravity or or other forces to hold it together. I suppose we'll have to posit water molecules that are exactly like microscopic balls and only able to interact through perfectly elastic collisions. No, I really think a high pressure vacuum is the best solution. —Alorael, who can only conclude that it is in the best interests of everyone never to put water in a tank again.
