  1. That's what I find amusing, I say "root" for route more often then rowte. However I always say "rowter" and not rooter, mainly because it just sounds wrong :-?
  2. I say it either way, mostly the first though.
  3. Also remember that if you are going to use a metaphor, use is correctly. Personally I like the first - but I wouldn't think AI from seeing that brain. You got a nice idea, you're just failing to make it work. If you really want to stick to the AI thing with the brain, make it more ah, obvious that it isn't a natural brain... the odd steel plate showing or something? I dunno, but I'm sure you'll think of something.
  4. Looks a bit bland. But it only really needs a few slight changes (font and alignment mainly) and it'd be ok. Really depends on what he wants it to be like :-?
  5. Truth. I had a short play around in it for about five. Then I got bored. Different colours, different "stroke" options and whatnot would make it a whole lot better.
  6. Well, it is younger than my 433 machine, so I doubt there will be many problems. I think the only clash would be with ram and perhaps video card. Personally I wouldn't bother upgrading since I'd basically just be getting new everything anyways :-? Buy a new system for 1400 or whatever and turn that one into a LAN server or whatever.

    Sorry, I don't believe in moral relativism. Sorry, I don't believe in moral relativism. Ditto that!^ Moral relativism is for me just a way to try to avoid taking responsibility for your own actions. "Hey! This isnt bad in my eyes - thats why its ok!" Moral absolutism is for me just a way to try to avoid taking responsibility for your own actions. "Hey! This isnt bad in my eyes ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ God (oh wait, the ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâmoral designer̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢) said it was Ok!" Moral relativism is all about taking responsibility since you have nothing to fall back upon; all your actions are done according to your personal opinion and if it̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s wrong in the eyes of everyone else, you can only blame yourself. Moral absolutism on the other hand is all about shifting responsibility away from the person and on to the person who created the morals (god, ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâunspoken law̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢, teapot orbiting the sun etc.); how on earth is that taking responsibility? Who created the moral designer and why did it make the choices we live by or more simply why did the moral designer exist in the first place, there is no reason to place moral codes upon us. Moral absolutism is relativism̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s equivalent of intelligent design (compared to Evolution). Moral absolutism seems like a throw back to days when things where deterministic and everything was made for a reason, when clearly a lot of things we see in the universe are not made for a specific reason. Is it really that hard to see that morals are shaped by your parents and the environment? How about cases where children who were abandoned in the wild and took up animal behaviors or German youth that were brought up to believe that Jewish people were sub-human. They never got the chance to learn what was ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹Ãâtruly right̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢; to them they are only mimicking the right thing to do from others. Where do absolute morals factor into cases like these, would someone who was only brought up in a prison cell understand anything other then the approximate time food enters their cell? How can the notion of moral absolutism are put forth when there are as many grey scenarios then black/white scenarios. To put it plainly, it insufficiently describes reality (the world is full of grey scenarios) so it can̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t possibly be the correct model for human morals. Swear words are a good example of relativism since words are neither intrinsically good nor bad but are shaped by their context. The S swear word wouldn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t have been bad if it weren̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t an acronym associated with slavery, the slang for black people wouldn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t be bad either if it wasn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t originally a derogatory word for black people, and so forth. These words weren̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t good from the dawn of time and they neither were bad from the dawn of time, they were shaped through the social consciousness. If enough people took offense to a certain word and told their kids to take offense to that word (effectively spreading the undesirability of the word), eventually you have words that are offensive only because your parents told you they were offensive. It̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s pretty hard to shake off words from being offensive when they have such momentum behind them. It̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a real shame when people only take offense to things because that what there were taught, rather then thinking about why they take offense to it. QFT I couldn't agree more. When you play by your own rules, you have to take the fall.

    That's generally it.
  10. PristonTale - bloody awesome, free till lv 40 on the en version, but free for all lv on jap and another, just can't remember atm.
  11. The fade isn't exactly smooth either :-?
  12. I don't like looking yonger than I am as it is. Already people think I'm like 17/18 when I'm 20 :( But without my goatee people have said I look 16 :| Anyhow, from my experience, I don't think it really matters much, at any age :-?

    These will definently take off. *hugs betamax cassettes* lol, *hugs punch cards* Oh yea! Man, I could backup my entire HDD onto one of them... wonder how long it'd take to burn to disk though :lol:

    He does have a valid point here. Not really. Note how ebaum continued on stealing stuff AFTER at least 3 major corporations threated him with legal action. I highly doubt something from YTMND is going to stop him after his past actions.

    It's gone well beyond an 'internet flame war' before. He's been told to take down content or face a lawsuit. Which he meerly does followed by some BS excuse before going out and doing it all over again. All in all he doesn't give a damn where his content comes from, so long as it ends up with his watermark on it. Any more questions as to why so many people hate him and why this finally happened?

    There is a difference between stealing the odd time and stealing then refusing to take down the content even after the author of said content has requested you to and eventually profiting off it.
  17. ____ replied to Qwexome's topic in Off-Topic
    I'm in for ebaumsworld getting pushed off the internet. I've always noticed some of it's content was rather "dodegy" in the "I've seen that before" kind of way. Now all we need is for something from Maddox to get stolen and it's right to really take off :lol:

  20. Now there lies your problem - when you're looking for letters, do it one letter at a time. Instead of reading the word and breaking it down. It's probably easier to do if you do a lot of wordsearch puzzles but I dunno.

    I can blame that on Microsoft. At the time, my family had two machines, one running '98 and the other running 3.11 '98 reset to 1978 or whatever it was, and 3.11 ticked over to 2000 with no problems :-? Go figure.
  22. I've also seen it before. I got 6 the first time I saw it anyway. Although back then it said that if you got 6 you were a female? *shrug*
  23. Guess I'm a genius then...
  24. Don't forget the people trying to cash in on it... millionpennyhomepage millionquarterhomepage I think there's like 4 or 5 of them... :evil:
  25. Maybe Australia just gets lucky? All my friends with Dell laptops have had no problems with them at all :-?
