I see. All of his recent posts seem to be in Blades of Avernum (except for a few in General), which would account for my failure to take large note of his presence. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

I believe that control clicking on an the item's icon should give a run down of the item, but I thought that that was always the case, so if something changed...

As such, I must assume that he was before my time, at least under that name. In order to figure out who is actually controlling my posting, I will have to do some research as to who tends to post in a similar manner to me... who's not another Newbie.

I assumed Magma Dragoon left simply because discussions about Geneforge waned after nearly every Mac user who intended to purchase it had played it through. Previous to my recent interest in the General section of the forums, I really only posted when G3 and G4 came out. I assumed it was a common phenomenon. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

They are afraid that they will be sucked into a never ending cycle of insanity, posting their lives away. It seems like a reasonable thing to fear. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

Sadly, number 666 has only made two posts. I must, thus, assume that the idea of snagging the best numbers must have come about sometime after 1000. Oddly, most of the big posters don't seem to have such special numbers. Even when they snag one (Such as Tyranicus' 7000), they don't seem to use it. What, then, is the purpose of such an action? -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est. Posts: 344 | Registered: Friday, February 25 2005 08:00 |

Although this individual has a mere 98 posts (still higher than mine, sadly), the picture, AIM, and Homepage seemed rather familliar. Almost as though someone with a much lower number had attempted to attain that spot at the last minute... Pure fancy of course. I've given up on my conspiracy theories.

Apparently, as of this morning, there are now 8000+ users in the boards. I was simply curious whether this constitutes an celebration/torment of the new arrivals.

There's a reason why most pros use Photoshop... I find it to be the best program I've come into contact with. If you meant for free... I'm not sure. I worked with the Gimp for a bit, and it compared poorly with Photoshop, but I don't know how its stacks up against other Freeware programs. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

1. Aran took care of the size. A good thing, too, because I'm not willing to wait 30 seconds a piece for that many comics. 2. What is this thing against cats? Everyone knows they are the superior race. Dogs are too loyal and dumb, they fail to compare. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

I feel far too young... I've been in contact with computers as long as I can remember, but the first computer we owned that I actually can actually recollect the name of was an LC III. It actually took normal floppies, and ran Quark, so I suppose that that puts me firmly in the modern era. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

I am... somewhat hesitant to post the next item that came to mind in the genre of random wierdness. I belive it eclipses most of what I saw before it, and I do not believe anybody posted it yet. Technically, it is part 3 in a series, but it the first chronologically. I will warn everyone that it contains themes that would disturb most adults, and may give you nightmares for the rest of your life. I am pretty sure audiences under the age of 18 should not view this video. I certainly wish I had not. Here it is, all the same. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

quote:Although I never participated in said thread, I must agree that there is very little to be said of music written after 1980. You will note that the following expanded list of my musical interest still fails to capture many artists from that era. In addition to Pink Floyd, Bach (JS), Jethro Tull, Neil Young, Debussy, and Tchaikovsky; I also enjoy Paul Simon, Santana, Beethoven, Zeppelin, and The Beatles. Also, some pieces from Springsteen, Queen, Brahms, Chopin, Brubeck, Gershwin, Dire Straits, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Howard Shore, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Clapton, and Rachmaninoff. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

Artists: Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Neil Young, Bach, Debussy, Tchaikovsky Obviously, these fall pretty neatly into two categories: Classical and Classic Rock. It is not that my interest is actually that narrow, its just that those are those that stand out. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

This post, for example, constitutes meta-meta-meta spam. Edit: Forgot to get rid of the picture. Seemed a bit redundant.

quote:I quite agree. Although the question, as phrased, is more or less elementary (meaning that the average U.S. high school student has at least seen such a thing before graduating), any comprable real life event would be full of issues that would make it a nighmare to predict. This, in fact, is my real problem with this kind of physics. Sometimes, when given such a question, I choose to answer it by including friction, air resistance, fluctuations in gravity based on altitude, flaws in the spring, and the possibility of a vacuum metastability event occuring part way through. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.

If you are using an older Geneforge (1&2, I think), there should be a button on the item icon which looks like three coins. Clicking on this will allow you to sell. If the icon is representing more than one item, there will be a prompt asking how many you want to sell. -------------------- Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est.
