What a coincidence -- a friend of mine just learnt to do that today (raise one eyebrow at once).

Used to - never all that much, though. I used to prefer Protoss, I think, because each unit felt much more significant than they did for the other sides (by which I mean each individual... what were they called, the soldier ones? Zealots. Yeah -- even when evenly matched against a big army of zerglings, I always found the protoss ones more satisfying.

I didn't like the "James Bond meets his match in the woman" aspect I felt from the last few films. If that happens every time, then it's more a case of James Bond, the pushover to women -- with a license to come off worse in any given situation so as not to appear sexist. OK, so that's exaggeration, but still. Having not read the Ian Fleming novels, I can't really give an oppinion on this.

Agreed. Also, in Schindler's List, the ending, where the war is over and the Jews make him a ring.

I saw that a week or two ago for the first time. I found bits of it good (for isntance, the "you're not hardcore unless you live hardcore" (or similar) part). I thought the plot was pretty flawed, however. I mean, I could suspend my disbelief at no one realising what was going on, but I still thought it was a bit far fetched for a film where most of the rest of it was made out to be plausible.

Ahahaha. I've got that power, too.

Hehe, I was hoping that wasn't lost an y'all. I really don't have any fantastic abilities. I run faster with the knife, but then, everyone runs faster with the knife.

I agree -- if you're "not old enough to make your own decisions", then I'd just do what your parents tell you. I'm not religious, and don't go to church, but I'd go to church with my parents if they asked me to (however they aren't religious either, and I'm old enough to make my own decisions). It is as other have already said: they can't make you believe in it -- that is, as long as you're strong willed enough to see that you're being indoctrinated. I don't agree with imposing a religion upon the young, but then, I'm not religious. If I were then of course I'd see it as a good thing; hence I understand that, for those parents who are religious, they are doing the right thing. It's a shame, but there we go.

I can fly. I'm doing it right now. Man, I've got all kinds of crazy powers. I'm also amply-dextrous (so dextrous that you wouldn't believe -- try and hit me, try and hit me).

Oh yeah, also consider RP (Role-playing) servers or "not" RP servers -- I was on a "not" one. I wouldn't have minded the roleplaying aspect of it (nor would I have really wanted it); it was instead the bickering amongst the guild that I didn't like (more than one guild).

Dunno if I said this already but: "Yes" in response to "Do you want your possessions idenfitied?"

You can do lots of it by yourself; that's how most people get to level 60. Most of the game, however -- the important bits, that is -- require larges groups of people. I too found the people who take it that seriously annoying. It became more about politics than about playing a game, which I wasn't really interested in.

I'd not bother watching it, because I'd find it very boring indeed. I don't mean any offense when I say this, but to me it's just another huge calamity that didn't really touch me. I suppose maybe if I knew someone who knows someone who died or something, then I'd be interested; if, on the other hand, I knew someone who died, I'd be angry that they're making a film about it this soon, because I'd see it as trying to milk the last interest out of something that I had strong feelings about. As I say, though, I couldn't really care less, what with how things are.

I suppose... I mean, the staves already do it, so it's got to be possible. Just trying to think if there are any animations where s/he's holding something up in front of them... (not that I'd know what to do with them if there were).

Nice. Not tried that yet -- not good enough. That's a bit like the thing for 100% somethingorother on Morrowind, where you enchant things for constant effect 1 to 47 (I think it was) % and just keep taking them off and putting them on until you get a high value. --- only better, because of how they're all constant effect now. I'd quite like them to have kept amulets that could cast spells, as opposed to constant effect only ones -- They could have made it, maybe, so that you wore them, and / or held them and used them as spellcasting devices. That'd have been good, I thought.

I would say that alchemy is a good way of making money. First of all, you can just steal the ingredients from any house, to make restore fatigue potions. Once you get good enough, just sell these to make money -- it's even worth going to places that sell foodstuffs and buying these, then selling the potions you make with them. Am I the only one vaguely dissapointed with poisons?

...I would say that pre-judging people based on their race is racism, whether or not you have had bad experiences in the past from people of that race. When you see a black person, do you automatically think badly of them? If so, I'd say that's racist -- if, on the other hand, you're just saying that you've met a lot of black people you haven't liked, but it hasn't tarnished your oppinion of the next black person you meet, then I'd agree that it's not racism.

I think this year has been the best year of my life. My circle of friends has expanded hugely this year at college, and I'm far happier at the moment than I can remember being at any other point in my life.

Yeah, I've heard of them. I don't have any of their music, but I've heard a bit of it. Crazy, as I recall.

No, I have never been discriminated against. I don't see it happening near me, either -- I've never noticed gender or race being discriminated against, which surprises me.

What -- about becoming eighteen? Sorry, I don't know any; I'd be interested to see if there are any.

If the universe is infinite in size, then an infinite number of mile high numbers would fit in the universe. It doesn't matter that they're huge, or that there are an infinite number of them -- there's always more space to accomodate them. The very idea that they themselves are smaller than the universe itself means that, though there be an infinite number of them, their size is smaller than the size of an infinite number of (not that this exists) "universe sizes". It's like a size race where one person (the universe) starts of with a head start, and the other person (the numbers) gets bigger at the same speed; never catching up. What's wrong with an infinite amount of time? Why is that not possible in actuality? The conclusion that an infinite amount of time has passed does assume that time has been going on for ever. That's not important -- if time has been going on for ever, then an infinite amount of time has passed; you have said things to the effect that time is not infinite backwards -- if you explain that, then I can argue further, though as it is, I don't see that we can get further than "It is!" "It isn't!". (I don't see that there's a need for me to explain how something is possible -- anything's possible until it's disproved; for that reason I don't disbelieve in god, so to speak).

I've not really been paying attention, so forgive me if I talk about something you're not really arguing about. Good point that there hasn't been an infinite amount of time since the big ban for whatever this even is to have happened. Still, there have been an infinite number of times for it to have happened -- and it's as likely to have happened in any one of them as in any other; that doesn't stop it being (from what you say) astronomically unlikely. Still, one might imagine that, if it hadn't happened, we wouldn't be able to wonder about it. I think of it like this: there are two possibilities here: either this thing happened, or God exists. The first option is very unlikely (I don't know whether or not you're saying that's the thing that's "impossible"), but the chain of events after it leading up to the present are not unlikely. On the other hand, if God exists, then there are an infinite number of other things which (to me, as an agnostic) are very unlikely which are left to be explained. One very unlikely thing compared to one plausible thing followed by an infinite number of unlikely things is, to me, more reasonable.

That's why I want to know some people who are going to the place I'm going -- It'll make it much easier to meet a wider range of people; people I might not have met otherwise.

True, for things like weapons. From what runescape was like when I played it however, there are things like pickaxes or keys which allow you to do certain things but might be hard to get hold of, so one could make money by carting them around and selling them in out of the way places. Not worth it, though.
