By Archmandrite Micawber: quote:Rentar has no need of the Heart of Gold and its feeble Improbability Drive, for she has discovered the secrets of Bistromathematics. Unfortunately, Crystal Souls can't eat... EDIT: Added a quote. Here I am, brain the size of the board, and the post I'm quoting is on the previous page. (I've really got to get around to watching that movie. It's been too long since I read the books.) -------------------- So long, and thanks for all the Vlish.

I'd like to expand on #2: - Don't make your first scenario a three-part series. #1 is a good rule of thumb, but there definitely are exceptions. And if I followed #11 to the letter, nothing would ever get done. -------------------- Here lies the body of Emily White. She signalled left, and then turned right.

Longer than that, I think. The topic got revived after some PC porting problems were dealt with. EDIT: Beat to it, it seems. EDIT2: Exceeded transfer limit.

I think I like the 2-D sun better on ADoS' sword logo. Perhaps a little more embellishment on the crown as well? And I second Diki's motion to combine the crown on TGM's left logo with the lettering on the right logo. -------------------- Chef Throws his Heart into Helping Feed Needy - Headline Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Option 2 if it's a small scenario, 1 or 3 if it's a large scenario. At this point in time I prefer 1 to 3, because you have the entire trilogy providing background spread over all facets, whereas type 3 tends to have highly developed background in a few areas, but little in others. -------------------- Capital Punishment Bill Called "Death Oriented" - Headline Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

I was trying Ubuntu (no particular reason other than the CompSci department had a few copies sitting around). I had installed a second hard drive as a slave beforehand. The first time I tried the 'normal' install, and it got hung up 'setting up the partitioner'. Not wanting to partition my drives, I tried again with the 'expert' install and skipped the partitioner, but it seem that that step also sets up the file system as well (neither GRUB nor LILO wanted to install). I'm not too concerned. It won't be necessary for me to dual-boot for a year or two yet, and by then I hope to change my computer anyway. -------------------- Factory Orders Dip - Headline Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

Actually, I find the random logo cool. Is there any reason besides posterity why you can't have more than one?

After failing an attempt to dual-boot my computer, I did a full restore on it (Win98), and then reinstalled BoA. I got this error on the opening screen: quote:Re-installing the sound drivers didn't help, neither did re-installing Blades. According to my DirectX diagnostic, Direct Sound works find. What version of DirectX is needed for BoA? (it's possible that beforehand I had updated the DirectX from the pre-installed version, I don't remember.) Otherwise, what else could be the cause? (I do know that the sound driver I have in now is the same one as beforehand.) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

I'm a little jealous, actually. My one and only backpacking trip was cut short when we woke to a foot and a half of snow on the first morning. That, and most of my fellow hikers were wimps who left excess supplies at the camp when they left early without helping breaking camp. Myself and a classmate and teacher ended up breaking camp ourselves, carrying out most of the abandoned supplies ourselves and burning the rest (some people weren't too happy when they found out we burnt their clothes). And to top it all off, I couldn't fit everything in my backpack, and so tied most of the excess supplies onto the backpack, a situation that isn't great when you're jogging in sound-muffling snow. If anyone finds a tent on a trail in Kananaskis, it's mine. -------------------- Yes, I'm bitter. How'd you notice? Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |
