Teens are plenty educated about sex - about the physical mechanics and the modes of protection and even the life costs (flour babies anyone?), though you can't really expect that latter point to sink in until they've grown up enough to see the effects - lovers breaking up, single parent families, m...

Thankfully for my parents, I was scared of sexuality when I was a teenager. I also never came closer than about 2 feet to a girl, so the opportunity never came up.

For a super nerdy quantum physics/politics joke, it's pretty good.

-If you want a different texture applied to the same object, just create another material. But remember, one 2048x2048 texture is better then two 1024x1024 textures (less render passes) Wouldn't the equivalent be four 1024x1024 textures? Also, refresh my memory, did you guys mention anything about ...

Maybe this will drive it home- If a person has a .50 cal(or any other large caliber) but cannot effectively make hits with it, it is a useless weapon to that person.It is not an inherently inaccurate weapon, the person is inaccurate because the person shooting it cannot control it, so it is useless...

Not surprised that this is written by a fellow Canadian, our (in)justice system is a complete joke, hopefully the Conservatives can do something about it, but it will take a while to appoint enough new judges to fix it.

Well, at least he figured it out, eventually.

Shadowfury333

yeah, that much I knew. I've talked to Hexetic before about it. Q4 has the support, but I know the guys don't want to use Q4. Good thing too, at least for me. Due to the age and make of my video card (ATI RADEON 9200), I have 2 rendering choices: pixel shaders with full-screen green tint, or color ...

Jsut out of curiosity, can people join games in progress, or must they join before the game starts?

Shadowfury333

*does a little jig*

Yay, now if only there were netgames to be played, unless there have been since I last checked.

Shadowfury333

Diedel, have you looked at any other open source projects that use shaders. DarkPlaces seems like a good place to start, as it is programmed in C (though it might be QuakeC), supports shaders, and uses real-time shadowing well. It might be a good reference. If not, you're welcome anyway.

Shadowfury333

The other fabrication is that it's either one or the other. It's not. That's an argument made up by civil libertarians and the left. So that's why you kept saying I was a doctrinal leftie/libertarian. Well, by your reasoning you were right in saying that, but thankfully Drakona pulled the wool away...

Successful security doesn't have to be undefeatable by the enemy. Sometimes it's enough just to slow him down. Shadowfury called such targeted searching "short-sighted and reactive" -- in opposition to "boarder and more intelligent* measures" "*as in: based on sound intelli...

Shadowfury333

Sigh. As a matter of clarity, you are incorrect. You said you favored " eliminat(ing) narrow, short-sighted and reactive security measures (such as Muslim profiling) in favor of broader and more intelligent measures . . . .", which is your version of the position held by Kilarin. Did I mi...

Shadowfury333

Will correctly points out the illogic in your position. "You seem not to realize" there is no single security measure that cannot be met with an adaptive counter-response. That does not mean you terminate the security measure because it's simply hopeless. So that's not your real issue, ot...

Hmmm, considering the moaning we saw about Bush for using totally legal means of spying on known al Queda suspects I seriously doubt you would approve of any "espionage". In fact I call bull shiit on your whole claim that we need spying based on all the whining we hear everytime bush trys...

Is it even possible to view other's support problems, the current layout would suggest otherwise.

Shadowfury333

Will you join me in supporting governmental profiling and preferential searches of men and women of the Muslim faith at airports? Of course you won't. You hold yourself out as a libertarian and that would be antithetical to all that you hold dear, which is your own misperception of the Constitution...

Also, google used to do this which is quite funny. It doesn't any more though. This still kinda surprises me, as the French had an impressive army, and at one time a pan-european empire, along with many trading and colonial exploits. They also fought valiantly in WWII, they just put the Maginot Lin...

D2 Redbook. I don't know how it was released for PC, but it was included on all of the Mac discs.

I fractured my right wrist, I can't take the .45. I have no qualms about putting a few rounds in someone. One, three, whatever. I'd have a minimum of two anyway. Although I'm not particularily knowledgeable on the subject, isn't two rounds to the chest followed by one to the head standard procedure?

If flying through a teleport face, you will be instantaneously placed at the teleport's destination location, facing the direction the level designer determined for that teleport, and will keep momentum. Ok, that would be halo and quake style. However, I would think that seeing through the destinat...

they decided which Gospels would be accepted and denounced the rest as heresy. Yes, after a great deal of scholarship, debate and prayer*. *if you refute on the grounds of prayer, then obviously you are against organized religion as a whole, since logically prayer would help one organize a religion.

Shadowfury333

Just out of curiosity, do the D2 portals work like those in the upcoming game Portal or like the more typical teleporters, i.e. Halo, Quake series, etc.

Here's hoping for the former.

Banning guns because some people may use them for crime is about as reasonable as banning computers because pedophiles use them to prey on our children.

it's just downright evil to prevent every citizen of a country the rights and privelleges they deserve, simply because you feel threatened by it's government. Agreed, I'd say that the military powerbase is what should be targeted. Embargoes and sanctions should be limited to that, unless someone ca...

A few months ago Koolbear had installed a tracker for D2X-XL, but I could never make D2X-XL detect it. Well, when debugging the OS X version last weekend together with simX, we caught some tracker data packets that had come from KB's server, judged by the first three octets of the IP address, and i...

Still doesn't work, although I have all of my switches still on, except for the -player SF333 one. However, I was able to indentify the sound as the startup sound, but the beginning bit is looping about 20 times per second.

You didn't happen to leave the model textures in the textures folder, did you? It turns out (my mistake) that textures for models SHOULD go in the models folder rather than the textures folder. (Model textures have prefixes of "blpyro", "gx", "missile", "multi&quo...
