Not much, from what I understand.

You can use a string variable, clear it, and re-use it as much as you want. You'll only kill BoA if you make the string more than 256 characters long (including beginning and ending quotes).

Even with those, what do you hurt by letting the record button be there? It doesn't mean that the player has to record anything.

I am always confused by people saying this. What are you defining as "old" and "new"? If by "old" you only mean the Kill 'Em All album, then I can sort of see how someone could say this, even though I disagree.

If by "old" you mean "everything prior to Metallica," then I point to "Fade to Black" off Ride the Lightning as one of many examples of the fact that they've been playing a variety of music all along. It wasn't all about thrash-metal even in the '80s.

If by "old" you mean "everything prior to St. Anger," then you're a fair-weather fan for ditching a band after a single bad album. All the Green Day fans who ditched them after Warning are smacking themselves right now.

Of course, I speak as one whose favorite Metallica song is probably "The Unforgiven." And I do think the Nabster controversy was rather stupid on their part.

The problem I had didn't involve wrong coordinates. There are things that will cause BoA's screen to go black like that that don't involve surrounding the party with blackness.

I really can't remember what these things were, though.

DOT.COMmunist: Taking a shot at someone (even sideways, in the third person) is not encouraged around here, no matter how justifiable your criticism may be. You've only had four posts here. Try to make your future ones better than these have been.

CPeters: Some people find arrogance annoying, so try to keep it under control. People are going to insult you from time to time — I wish this were not the case, but it is — and getting angry about it (or calmly writing vitriol or whatever — "go play in traffic") is not terribly productive. Be the better man.

TM: Welcome back, I guess, after your week absence. Bear in mind that your membership still depends on your compliance with the CoC. That post is not against the rules, but some of your others today have been borderline.

Percinator: If you want to know further opinions, there have been a few other topics of this sort since A4 was released. You can read those, if you like. This topic dies the death.

I've been trying to remember when that problem came in. I distinctly remember monsters opening doors in A2, and I think I remember them doing so in A3, too, but definitely not in BoA or A4.

"Tyranicus" is an acceptably Greco-Roman name. "Tyrant" is the descendant (through French and Latin) of a Greek word for a dictator. The "-icus" ending is a common one in Latin, "signifying belonging to,connected with" according to my grammar book.

The proper Latin word was "tyrannus," though, so the actual Latin adjective was "tyrannicus," with a double N.

I'm not aware of how possible this is, but I can imagine a situation in which a Roman citizen performed extremely admirably as a temporary dictator in defeating an invading force (one of the uses of the official post of "dictator," more or less equivalent to the Greek "tyrant") and got the cognomen "Tyrannicus" as an honor from the Senate afterwards.

EDIT: You know, I should clarify something. The powers of a dictator and a tyrant were more or less the same, but the positions themselves were extremely different. A tyrant was (in theory) in office for life. A dictator was supposed to step down after the emergency was over.

Having two skribbane topics is probably having one too many.

This was probably not the most useful topic revival, either. After a topic hasn't been posted in for a few days, one ought to let it rest unless one has something genuinely new and useful to say. Given that there was another skribbane topic active and you already said your piece there, you probably didn't have to say it here, too.

This really sounds terrible. I mean, it sounds like the sort of thing that would have me clear out an area pretty darn quickly, faster than anyone ran from anything in A3.

It sounds almost as bad as GF creations wearing rouge, or someone in BoA having problems with dialouge. I suppose it must be in vouge for a rouge to speak a monolouge like a demagouge without glancing at an analouge clock.
