Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, October 17 2006 22:04 Profile Homepage #63 My favorite Windows... "feature"... was one I discovered while working at a library this summer. Somehow, one of the printer spooling processes can end up eating the processor for long periods of time. It involves sending stuff-to-be-printed to the non-functional Microsoft Image Writer. It was fun... had to Google up the solution, and Microsoft basically says, "Yeah, it's a problem, and we know this, but don't touch it, 'cause it's important." Right. It's important, and it doesn't work. Wonderful. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, October 17 2006 07:30 Profile Homepage #48 At my college, everybody who signs up (and pays an exorbitant amount given the tuition we already pay) for an internet account gets a free copy of Norton antivirus. The Mac version they gave us was a joke... every time its LiveUpdate side-program tried to run, the Time Remaining bar just kept getting longer and longer. I think I let it get to 400 hours remaining once before I had to force quit it into submission. And I honestly don't think it ever scanned anything I downloaded. Ever. I think Norton for Mac is a primitive attempt at a Mac virus. :P -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

It is interesting, but really not a cause for concern unless you actually expect the party to be level 250. If you really don't want damage to be blocked then use change_char_health, which as far as I know is truly unblockable. As far as unblockability goes, I prefer kill_char(), preferably with a value of 1000. :P But yeah, scenarios shouldn't be designed with god parties in mind. Unless an auto-death is included for parties at level 250... that I could deal with. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

No Harm Done: The Question of Morality in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, October 14 2006 13:00 Profile Homepage #9 quote: Originally written by The Almighty Do-er of Stuff: Perhaps it would be better written as "(for instance, people will often get an annoying song stuck in their heads, such as William Hung's rendition of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs")"? That's better... the sentence order was probably what threw me. quote: Originally written by The Almighty Do-er of Stuff: I find it hard to imagine as well, because there probably is no such case. The point I was trying to make, rather, was that simply being attracted to children, and even such things as viewing lolicon hentai, neither of which involves actually engaging in sexual behavior with the child, harm nobody. Was the point unclear? It was, a bit. It sounded like you were treating child abuse and pedophilia as separate entities. Either that, or I got confused and thought you meant the act of pedophilia instead of pedophilic thoughts. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

No Harm Done: The Question of Morality in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, October 14 2006 11:48 Profile Homepage #5 quote: Originally written by Nioca: It, quite bluntly, is the sign of a shallow mind, and not because it's insulting. Using the word implies that you're basing an entire ethnic group on the behaviour of one person, or even worse, your own prejudice. Then in that case, the C-word should be banned too. I think the words shouldn't have as much power as they do, and I really never use them, but they're just words. Anyway, the sincerity of the person who says them is what counts, and I think it's pretty easy to tell when someone's insulted you. Besides, if rappers can use both the N-word and the C-word, then why can't C-words? I also loved the divine brick parenthetical, and the William Hung reference was apt (though the phrasing was a little awkward, and I'm not sure how it could be smoothed out). Oh, Nioca? Nazareth isn't a person... unless you mean Nazareth, the Scottish rock band. (I love Wikipedia) And about the pedophilia part, I thought about disagreeing, but then I realized it was just because pretty much every case of it that the media covers is one of child abuse. While I find it hard to imagine (and unpleasant to think about) a case of pedophilia with fully consenting parties and a lack of abuse, I guess that variety would be acceptable. Thanks for getting me to really think about this response. But generally, good article. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Another death topic... in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, October 13 2006 08:24 Profile Homepage #0 For everyone who keeps even just one eye on the sports world, this isn't news anymore. But this past Wednesday, Cory Lidle, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, died after he crashed into a 50-story building. I for one am left wondering what Major League Baseball should do about it, or if the Yankees should do something. But I have a feeling that one of his past teams will be retiring his number. But anyway, since General's been a ghost town as of late, I thought I'd contribute a topic from my realm of interest. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
