We don't see nature make systems like this (as you define them above) because our observation time is dramatically limited. The only real conclusion we can draw is that nature does not do this on the time scales we observe. This does not, however, preclude significantly longer time scales. Is design better? Well, that is difficult because our experience with design is with things that were rapidly on a human time scale occur. A way to show design is to be able to show very rapid changes (on the order of decades, although I'll even take centuries or a few millennia) occurring early on in the history of Earth and you would have a stronger case. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

No one is arguing that information/entropy can be calculated, that is a concept from statistical mechanics. The controversial part is the claims the author makes using the equations. The definition of "specified complexity" is still quite vague and not quantified. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Stillness, science doesn't work on quotes. So what a scientist said it? It's irrelevant unless a quantitative and hence useful definition is given. Again, what are the units of complexity? How do we calculate/measure it? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

To summarize, the general consensus is that Wingbolts are very powerful, Kyshaaks are okay but there are better options, and War Tralls suck along with the rest of the Battle Creations. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Agreed with Kel. I locked it on the basis of spam. I didn't even watch the video so I don't even know what was on it. Are you accusing me of something? -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Exactly as Thuryl said. Even if they are separate people, which I doubt (check your PM) you are still responsible for your account. Letting someone else use it or being irresponsible with it makes the owner still responsible. I can't even remember how many nefarious "little brothers" or "friends" we've seen. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

I agree that the poll results are probably not completely valid due to how the responses were phrased. This is what we call a push poll. If you ask a question right, you can demonstrate virtually any result you want. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

You can indeed beat this one, although it is difficult. You get a nice item for it. If you are having trouble, return when you are stronger. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I guess I don't see a reason to use the d20 system. Seems like if everyone used the same basic setting, things would get fairly boring. I like some unique structure. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

There should be a wooden locker/cabinet in a room just south of Monarch's bedroom. In there you will find what you need. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

We've been through this discussion before. Nonetheless, it is an interesting possibility. The other credible thing discussed is that he was the player's character from GF 1. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

While I agree Ash, having less guns would make some criminals less likelly to have them. However, I sincerely doubt that tighter gun control laws would have prevented this trajedy, not that you were suggesting that. When a person intends to kill, and in large numbers, they will get the guns regardless. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Guns would be woefully ineffective at protecting ourselves from our government. They have far more effective ways to kill us if they wanted to and guns could do little. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
