Muji Warrior Member # 6347	written Friday, October 7 2005 16:12 Profile #7 Hehe... no... I don't kid when I talk about my post size. ;) And thank you, that's quite a compliment. :) I do my best. I know my posts are gonna be long. So the least I can do is at least try to them as easy to read/entertaining as I can. ~bows~ ... quote: Originally written by Ephesos: Yes, very nice to see some fellow pro-environment people, as well as a general tendency towards free-thinking. Indeed, the huge percentage of "Let's save the environment!" choices is heartening to see. :) quote: Originally written by Icshi: By and large I hate all politics, since it's all villains wearing different masks trying to bamboozle people into giving them more power. Different powermongers like to push conservative buttons, others liberal buttons. But their aims and desires are the same — black hearts through and through. Indeed. But unless I'm mistaken, the question is not as much which party you'd vote for as what your personal beliefs are in relation to modes of societal structure. quote: Originally written by Icshi: The U.S. war in Iraq is just the powermongers throwing their weight around while pretending to be sanctimonious. Power means nothing to these people unless they're doing something with it, and without people to praise them for their "valorous deeds." Sad, but unfortunately probably true. Religion and justice have always been humanity's favorite excuses for war. And I do emphasize "excuses". In truth, though, that's rarely (if ever?) what they're about. I find it interesting how the US' "reasons" for "liberating" (invading) Iraq were so shoddy and ever-changing. First with the WMDs (which weren't there), then national security (Saddam never was a threat to the US) and finally the all encompassing, honorable war on terror (the war in Iraq allowed Al Quaeda to come in. Saddam's regime was secular. He may have been glad about what they had done to the US, but it's not like he'd allow Jihadists free reign at home). quote: Originally written by Icshi: And as far as laws are concerned — laws are not the solution to society's ills. As the past 6,000 years should've adequately demonstrated. Perhaps not solutions, but still required on some level, no? Or are you advocating complete anarchy? Although, it's true that society's ills won't be corrected by simply telling people "you're not allowed to do that". quote: Originally written by Kelandon: These answers obviously may vary depending on the home country of the person answering. Believing in the need for more environmental regulation in the E.U. is somewhat different than believing in that need in the U.S. Same for tax cuts, same for other things. Minimum wage nationally in the U.S. is already $5.15, isn't it? Around here it's $6.75. (EDIT: Yes.) Of course, location makes a big difference. But if you keep in vague and general enough, I think that most can agree that something has to be done about the environment, no matter where they are. What has to be done, exactly, might vary from place to place, but the bottom line remains. The environment is somewhat more of a global issue, though. Of course minimum wage, etc. will vary more widely depending on the local situation. quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Also, I would've liked to be able to choose that I think that gay marriage should be legal but it should be up to the states. That is, I think that all the states need to pass gay marriage laws, as happened with women's suffrage a century ago shortly before the constitutional amendment came through. So if one state wants to be a bastion of purity and outlaw anything related to homosexuality, you'd support that? On one hand, I can understand and respect a state's prerogative to set its own laws, so as best to serve the majority of its population. After all, that's what democracy is about, and the gays can always move if they really have a problem with it. But on the other hand, what about basic human rights of equality? How far can we, as a whole, as a global society, allow individual groups, states, small countries, etc. to decide what's okay and what's not? For example, if a state wanted to make murder legal, and the majority of its citizens agreed, should we allow that? An extreme example, of course, but hopefully it illustrates my point. quote: Originally written by Kelandon: Similarly, I chose "I disagree, but we should stick it out" for the war in Iraq question as the one which most nearly matches my actual opinion: we seriously need to change our approach, but we can't just walk out now. How is your actual opinion different from the answer you chose? I blame it on my brain being mush... but I don't see the difference. quote: Originally written by Kelandon: I also would've liked a "No more tax cuts, dammit" option. I would start my economic policy by repealing Bush's tax cuts in order to bring the deficit back in line. Hehehe... ;) A nice idea, in an ideal world. How would you help deal with poverty, though? Various subsidies? Wouldn't a tax cut for the poorest help out a lot? And poor as they are, it's not like they'd make a big dent in the deficit anyways, would they? -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

Muji Warrior Member # 6347	written Friday, October 7 2005 15:45 Profile #5 Yay! Politics, religion and the environment. Always good fun. :D A very interesting poll, I must say. Because I like to rant, and for the record, if/when we turn this thread into a proper, full-fledged discussion of the issues brought up, here are my answers with some commentary. ... Question 1 of 10: Where do you consider yourself politically? A: Liberal Slightly tricky. None of the offered choices made me say "Oh yes, that's me! click". I had to think a bit, and I guess Liberal sounded best. It was vague enough. As much as the ideal of Communism might be nice in theory n' all, there's simply no way it could ever work in reality. It goes too much against human nature. I like Socialism, but I don't honestly know enough about it and how it works to call myself a Socialist. Question 2 of 10: What do you think of the war in Iraq? A: I disagree, but we should stick it out. It should never have happened. But it did. Now, if the US pulled out, I believe it'd leave a bigger mess there than there was before. Because of this, I can't help but feel they have a duty to set things right as best they can. This said, though, I also think they should do it ASAP and get out of there. Question 3 of 10: Should abortion be legal? Yes, in all cases. I'm biased, because I have a somewhat "special" view on death, but that's my answer. It's about choice. There are far too many people in this world who become parents, but simply aren't ready, whether it be emotional, psychological or economical readiness. Question 4 of 10: What do you think of the issue of gay marriage? A: It should be allowed. I chose this answer, but honestly, I'm not entirely sure what the legal difference is between "marriage" and "civil union". As far as I'm concerned, the important aspect is rights and equality. if the only difference between marriage and civil union is the religious aspect of marriage, then I'd say, as a bottom line, civil union is enough. But... what about gay Christians? Sure, they won't be hardcore Christians, but I have no doubts that there are homosexuals and lesbians who, at least to a certain degree, ascribe to the Christian faith. It would seem unfair to me (but I'm not Christian) to stop them from getting married. What if they follow a different faith, though? What if they're Jewish, or Muslim, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or anything else? North America prides itself on being a land of freedom. But sometimes, it doesn't quite seem like it. Question 5 of 10: Do you think creationism and/or Intelligent Design is equal to evolution? A: Neither Creationism nor Intelligent Design are equal to evolution. I said they aren't equal. But that's not entirely true. They're not equal insofar as that Creationism and Intelligent Design are religious in nature, whereas Evolution is scientific. But then I'd argue that Science is a religion, thereby making them equal. I'm not a great believer in empirical facts (who knows what "fact" will be proven wrong in a year, ten years, one hundred years, by advances of science?), but within the context of Science being a religion (or "belief system & world view", if you will... that's all religion is, in the end) based on "fact" (factual to the best of our present knowledge, at any rate), Creationism and Intelligent Design simply have no place along Evolution. It's like comparing apples and oranges. They're all fruits, but beyond that, the apple of science (I had to say apple... what with Newton and all) and the orange of Creationism/Intelligent Design are quite different in their base assumptions. I mean... intelligent design vs. non-intelligent design... I'd say that's a pretty big difference, wouldn't you? Question 6 of 10: Should Intelligent Design be taught in schools alongside evolution? A: It has no place in schools. Again, that's not an entirely honest answer on my part, but the closest I was comfortable with. It depends how you approach the matter. I was tempted to say "It should be taught alongside evolution." But if that were to happen, I'd also want them to teach the creation myths of the other major world religions as well. Now, this is a topic I've been meaning to research for a while, but I keep forgetting/putting it off. Evolution is science. Fine. When I was in high school, I don't remember anybody ever telling me that evolution/the big bang was the absolute truth. Simply that this was "our best theory up to now". I find that perfectly acceptable. I have nothing against Creationism/Intelligent Design, but I simply don't see how they can have a place in a science class. From Wikipedia: quote: Intelligent Design (or ID) is the controversial assertion that certain features of the universe and of living things exhibit the characteristics of a product resulting from an intelligent cause or agent, not an unguided process such as natural selection. Though publicly most ID advocates state that their focus is on detecting evidence of design in nature, without regard to who or what the designer might be, in statements to their constituents and supporters nearly all state explicitly that they believe the designer to be the Christian God. If and when Intelligent Design reaches a point where enough people have done scientific research on the subject, and have "facts" and "evidence" to back it up (or at least call it a proper theory, within a scientific context), I'd be all for teaching it alongside evolution. Unfortunately, to the best of my understanding, I don't believe Intelligent Design has reached this level yet. In the end, I take science as much as the major world religions with a grain of salt, and I have no doubts that all are wrong about many things. I also have no doubts that all are quite right about many things. I simply can't see how anyone can yet distance Intelligent Design from religion, let alone Christian Creationism. I personally don't believe in a sentient, creating deity, but I'm also a deeply spiritual man, so I find all of the offered theories of our origins lacking or at least one-sided. Call science Science. And call religion Religion. Teach all of them. Just don't label any of them as the absolute truth, and let people make up their own mind. The problem with teaching religion in schools is... which one? All of them? What's "all" mean? Where do you draw the line? There are so many different schools of spiritual thought. The "big three" come to mind, of course: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. But in the end, they're all just different versions of the same thing. Hinduism would have to be added to the mix. There are certainly enough Hindus on our planet to warrant that. But again, where do you draw the line? IMHO, it would have to be by global percentage of the faithful. If we are to teach one, then any faith which is widespread enough to be shared by X% of the world's population, it should be taught as well. Question 7 of 10: Do you think the minimum wage should be raised? A: It should be raised to between $5 to $10 an hour. This is a tricky one. I'm Canadian. I don't know what minimum wage is in the US, nor do I know what the situation is. In Canada, minimum wage is 7.25$ I think (about 6.20$ US), and I'd like to see it at 10$ (8.50$ US). Of course, more would be nice, but I'm trying to be realistic. Question 8 of 10: Who do you think should get tax cuts the most? A; The lowest 25%. I was tempted to say "Between the lower 25% and %50 of earners." I went with the lowest 25%, though, because I think they're the ones that need it most. Though I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're the only ones that need it. Basically, I'd like to see less and less cuts as income rises. The most for the poor, the least for the rich. The rich have always found ways of getting around taxes, and always will. It's the poorest that need the most help. Question 9 of 10: Do you believe there should be more limitations and controls on companies? A: There should be a few more limitations. I was tempted to say there should be a lot more limitations... but vague as the question is, I found this answer more appropriate. I do tend to be paranoid, and see world-dominating cyberpunkish megacorp neo-monarchs as a clear and present danger to our society. But, yeah, that's probably just my paranoia talking. I have no doubts that corporations need to be watched more carefully, though. If left unchecked, they'll do nothing but grow in power and become the new world order. Question 10 of 10: Should the environment be protected more? A: Yes, there should be more regulations on emmissions and development. This was the easiest question to answer. And looking at the poll results, it does seem most people agree. We're raping our planet, and it's our children who will pay the price. We'll pay the price as well, but I don't think it'll be anywhere near as expensive for us than for the next few generations if we don't do something... if there even are new generations... -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

Lag in Blades of Avernum
Muji Warrior Member # 6347	written Friday, October 7 2005 12:43 Profile #0 I've got an iBook, G3 500mhz. And BoA lags incrdibly most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't, and I can't quite figure out what makes the difference. Sometimes, it'll be lagging after a restart, with no other programs running; and sometimes, I won't have restarted in a while and a bunch of programs will be running, but it won't be lagging... that's the exception, though. If I play, I have to expect some lag at least. The degree of lag varies. I know my computer's been needing a reformat for a good while, and a defrag couldn't hurt. But I don't know where my utility and install discs are, and for the time being, I'm unable to backup my HD for lack of a burner. I have two questions: 1) Has anybody else experienced this? 2) Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could do to make it go faster? My game's set on fast. I've recently turned off special effects and sounds, which helps a bit, but still... it's slower than it logically should be. It doesn't seem to me that BoA is a game which would require too much processing power. -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

And from what I've read, the general opinion mirrors my own: there's no easy decision, because both side are "evil". On one hand, the empire's feudal system is being abused by Lord Volpe, but on the other hand, the rebels seem to be bloodthirsty terrorist extremists. I noticed a mention of how it's possible to kill both groups' leaders, and I was wondering, is this an "official" scenario path? Or is it simply a matter of siding with one group, then just killing the leader of the other later? -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

The brass key opens two doors in the Experiment Halls, in the south-east (bottom-middle of the screen). This will lead you to another underground cave (outdoors) populated by a bunch of altered beasts and a few undead.

I'm new myself, and the locals don't seem to be too dangerous. Although, I must admit... when they think I'm not looking, I've noticed a few sharpening knives and going through their spice cabinet looking for... well, something... I'm just glad they haven't found what they're apparently looking for yet. :eek: -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

Except most people who actually know how karma works and actually are still alive, have already voted on me... which raises interesting questions as to what else they're doing on me and how drunk I must've been... Interesting... instincts. Any idea why? And I guess I could give you a one... but I'd rather not waste my vote on you just yet. What if you really piss me off one day and I want to give you a five? Why should I make you happy by wasting a one now? -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

Muji Warrior Member # 6347	written Sunday, October 2 2005 12:44 Profile #4 Well, if you don't mind paying a bit (I think it's 7.99$ US/month, but I'm not entirely sure), there's Dofus. http://www.dofus.com/ You can try it for free for one week, though. Only problem is, if you're on Mac, it might not work. I don't know if the problem is their file, or my comp, but when I try to unstuff it, it gives me an error. You could always give it a try, though. It's a 40mb download or so. Looks interesting. If you don't mind cartoony/anime-like graphics. If it works, and you try it, let me know how it is. ;) I've been wanting to try it for a while, but it's not working for me. I'm waiting for a newer version, and hoping that works. -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00

Leave your sanity at the door! Or window, depending on your method of entry. ;) ~LMAO~ I swear I wasn't sneakily trying to get people to give me a 5-star rating... at least not consciously. ;) I used to separate different thoughts by using "...", but I've recently switched to using asterisks, as I find it's clearer (the five asterisks can also sometimes be found in books, separating multiple parts of a same chapter when they're different enough). Maybe I should go back to my "..."? I am more used to them... I'm just afraid people will find it annoying, seeing ellipses everywhere in my posts, especially considering I'm not "using them right", or at least for their conventionally accepted purpose. I tend to find the "..." less obtrusive, but it's a matter of personal taste, I guess. ***** (or ... , if you prefer ;) ) That said, thank you all for the welcome, and a special thank you to Shindigent for revealing the secret of karma. So it seems it does serve a purpose after all, however obscure. As for my sanity, I lost that many years ago. I'm afraid I'll have to find another way to appease the turtles (or armadillos? Or whatever...). Suggestions are welcome.

Muji Warrior Member # 6347	written Sunday, October 2 2005 12:15 Profile #18 Well, I don't think he's scared. I mean, if I was in his position, and someone had emailed me, letting me know that my page has been "found", I'd probably come here and post as well. He just did "the right thing". Or part of it, anyways. The other part would be e-mailing Jeff, and putting something on his site about Spiderweb. Considering the intended purpose of his page is for personal use (between him and his friends), I doubt there's a huge copyright problem here. As long as proper credit is attributed. How did you find his page, Chicho? If he didn't -try- to make his page come up in search engine, his surprise is understandable. Sometimes what you think nobody will see ends up being found. As for his game, it's not a video game, so it's not "coming out". It's a campaign setting (or storyline, if you will) for a tabletop RPG he's playing with his friends. Meaning, it's played with dice, pen and paper. -------------------- "Take time to listen to what is said without words, to obey the law too subtle to be written, to worship the unnameable and to embrace the unformed." -- Lao Tzu Posts: 124 \| Registered: Monday, September 26 2005 07:00
