I'm basing it directly on what Scorpius said, which was:

would you find it more preferable to ROUTINELY lay eggs like a chicken instead of menstruating once a month?

Well, there's another factor that adds into this: population. Let's say that, out of an estimated 7 billion people on this planet, half (3.5 billion) are female. Now, if they laid an egg every month, that would be 12 kids a year, and assuming that a few of them didn't make it, let's say that 8 per year survive. This means that, for that year, 28,000,000,000 babies would be born in one year, which is 4 times the TOTAL world population. Needless to say, things would get a little crowded.

EDIT: after posting this, I already saw a counter-argument to these statistics. Let's take this a step further and say that, of 3.5 billion females, 1.5 couldn't lay eggs (Not old enough, physical disability, etc.). That's still 16,000,000,000 babies (a little over twice the TOTAL world population).

Also, with the current methods, women still have a choice in whether they have children or not. If they laid eggs, they wouldn't have this choice. And let's not forget, we already have premature births, premature in reference to the mother. If they laid eggs, we would have a lot of unprepared mothers out there.

Hex - Editing in General

Even if this particular stipulation was removed, discussions about hex-editing would still be outside the CoC because:
quote:
The Code of Conduct:
What constitutes a major transgression for a member:
...
+ Discussion of illegal activities.
...
+ Requests for "cracks", pirated software, ways to pirate software, etc.
Hex-editing technically falls under both, because of the way it's used. Just because there's easier means doesn't make it a possibility. And if requesting hex-edit info is an infraction, I can only imagine what randomly throwing around information qualifies as. :eek:

That's all I'll say on this topic, because I enjoy being on these boards.

And I must say it's pretty good. My complaint: I'm running on Windows XP and am having problems with a couple features. For one (and by far the most annoying) I can't exit a level. I hit F10 a dozen times, escape over and over, and any other key I can think of-- nothing.
XP Pro or Home? I run the former, and have hit no such problems of the sort. Try running them in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows, and see what happens.

Other then that, the standard re-download/reinstall comes to mind. But then again, why would it affect both 1 and 2? It sounds more like a local conflict with something on your computer

So Alorael is being deleted. Poor guy.

Oh, a small typo:
quote:
"Oh, I am." Nikki pulled out his stationary and searched for a pencil. "Wait... where is it? I've lost my pencil! How can I write poetry without it? I guess I'll just take distribute these instead." Nikki took the wands and gems and left.
Also:
quote:
All right, fine. But remember it's not my fault when this injury prevents me from slaying a rat coming after you." Fatman slouched off.
If that 'injury' prevents you from slaying a rat, you have bigger problems to worry about.

But I'm glad Ephesos agreed with me.
