It's not really open source if the code is restricted to people who buy it. I think the idea was that anyone will be able to get at the editor code and fiddle with it, but the game code will still be kept secret, so you'll have to buy the game for the editor to be useful to you. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram.

The best way for a nerd to meet girls/boys/tentacle monsters is probably to spend lots of time chatting online. That way, you'll only meet people who don't mind nerds. Or hang around outside a university's computing department. That almost worked for me. -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

About marriages to get into someone's pants: There is evidence (found by fundamentalist Christians, incidentally) that fundamentalist Christians are more likely to get divorced than the average person. http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_dira.htm -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

I have a pair of scissors on my desk with built-in nutcrackers. 13 is 1101 in binary. Neil Gaiman retold Beowulf as a futuristic episode of Baywatch for an anthology of detective stories because it seemed to be the only sensible thing to do. More of my CDs have 11 tracks than any other number. AHH IT BURNS GET IT OFF ME!!! If offered a 10/10 for five mana, be suspicious. HTTP upload is not a good way to transfer a large file over a network, but HTTP download is. The earth is about 4600000000 years old. A symmetry implies a conserved quantity. May Week is near the end of June. The newest version of Nethack is 3.4.3 -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

Since there are no real character classes in any Exile or Avernum game, a paladin class is rather unlikely. And no new races. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. desperance.net - Don't follow this link Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

It's so hard to pick between the moody, grumpy antisocial Finns I love so much.

Atheist. And like Alorael I go to Quaker meetings as often as I go to synagogues.  And for Alec, I have one Christian parent and one atheist parent.

I think there is something I didn't make clear. Between you making your decision and opening the boxes, there is NO opportunity for the alien to fiddle with the boxes' contents. If you want, you can take a friend in who is allowed to look into the boxes before you choose and make sure of this. Since I'm feeling generous, I'll let the friend tell you what he thinks you should choose once he's looked. -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

I think this is called Newcomb's Paradox: A superintelligent alien comes to Earth claims that he can predict people's actions. To demonstrate this, you are chosen for the following: You are led into a room with two boxes (A and B). You must choose to either take box B only, or take both boxes. Box A is guaranteed to contain £1000. Box B will contain £1000000 if the alien predicts you will take it only, or nothing if you are predicted to take both boxes. You are not the first to do this - thousands of other people have done it already, and the alien has been right every time. What do you do? Argument for taking only box B: Everyone in the past who took B got £1000000, and everyone who took both boxes got only £1000. Why should you be any different? Argument for taking both boxes: When you go into the room, the money is already in the boxes, so nothing you choose from then on will affect the contents of box B. If box B is empty, you are better off taking both boxes, as you will get £1000 instead of nothing. If B does have the million, you would still be £1000 better off by picking both boxes. I would only take box B. Would you? -------------------- Grammar wenches beware: This is the house that the malt that the rat that the cat that the dog that the cow that the maiden that the man that the priest that the cock that the farmer kept waked married kissed milked tossed worried killed ate lay in.

Hmm. The first post in this thread asked what free will means. Somehow, that got ignored in favour of arguing about whether we have it.

Yes, you always get a lie, so you just do the opposite. Which wyrm tells you that one of them always lies? :P If you ask "Would the guard on the left say to go this way?", then the left guard will give the right answer, and if both answers are the same, the left guard is the liar. There is even a question you could ask if you are worried that you might get yes and no muddled up, but I'll not tell that one.
