  1. Every good system has people who abuse it. That's about all there is to it.
  2. Shut out two games in a row. Tank Nation is officially a go.
  3. Has anyone ever played pl_manngrove_rc5? It's an awesome map, great detail. Was very impressed.
  4. Without analyzing the specs, just from a personal experience POV, I have a Toshiba Satellite (which I've owned since Jan 2008) which I've been very happy with. No problems to speak of, and it still runs fairly well now (although it has gotten slower as all computers will).
  5. It's been suggested before. I wouldn't mind making it a subforum of OT, but removing it completely might just make things even worse. For example, even though the S&F forum isn't very active, there's still much more sports discussion that happens there than did in OT before the forum was created.
  6. I only watch sports and the discovery channel.
  7. Great inference, I absolutely agree. You have ample evidence in the form of multiple posts and as a result this is probably true.
  8. I like how your comebacks are basically the equivalent of "no u".
  9. Because they mean practically the same thing. Something assume is incapable of understanding. I'm not implying that inferences are bad reasoning, I'm implying that you're not inferring at all, you're assuming. But you refuse to admit that because you have some sort of infallibility complex, apparently.
  10. synonym [sin-uh-nim]   Origin syn·o·nym   [sin-uh-nim] Show IPA noun 1. a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as joyful, elated, glad. A dictionary of synonyms and their opposites, or antonyms, such as Thesaurus.com is called a thesaurus.
  11. inference [in-fer-uhns, -fruhns]   Main Entry: inference  [in-fer-uhns, -fruhns] Show IPA Part of Speech: noun Definition: conclusion, deduction Synonyms: assumption, conjecture, corollary, guess, hint, interpretation, presumption, reading, reasoning, supposition I'm not the one who looks foolish.
  12. That's interesting. I had no idea cannibalism might actually make you physically sick (or at least any more so than any other meat).
  13. You just automatically assume I'm talking about you? Wow. You're not that important :rolleyes:
  14. Perhaps appropriate, but sometimes people don't know their audience and use completely redundant words since the majority of people would have to look up a word before understanding it. If that were a talk to a big group, then many simply wouldn't understand it. At least on the internet people can look up words, but it's still an inconvenience. I wouldn't use archaic/unused words frequently on TIF for example, since users would end up skipping my posts or find themselves googling a lot of them. I still maintain that the occasional use of a more complex term, such as when talking about metaethical theories, is permissible. It's permissible if you know how to use them. If you don't know how to use them, it comes off as pretentious, arrogant, and generally makes the person look like an idiot. Not referring to anyone in particular, of course. Just in general.
  15. And extremely unfair to slash funds to certain programs based on stereotypes and assumptions.
  16. The point of this whole spiel is that the government should not care about the student's probable wage, and subsidize all post-secondary programs equally or not at all.
  17. If you're eating a body that's already dead, sure. Even though it's a little odd... If you're killing someone to eat them, no.
  18. I actually see that as a good thing. Even if this whole Kony campaign is questionable, you've suddenly got a large volume of people who have been inspired to educate themselves a little bit about the country and (probably) Kony as well.
  19. Then why say "everything" if you don't mean "everything"? EDIT: I know I'm nitpicking. I just dislike it when people say things they don't mean.
  20. Yeah, like murder! Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the statement "everything in moderation" irks me :P
  21. During my year at med school, there was only one other group of students that I really didn't envy when it came to workload. Drama students. The amount of work they technically have to do for the degree isn't much at all, but throw in all the stuff they realistically need to do in order to have any decent prospects for the future, and you've yourself got a stupidly hard schedule. They get on with it too, somehow, because it's something they just love doing. I don't like this notion that art students are lazy people who are temporarily avoiding the job market, and who will ultimately contribute nothing useful to society. That kind of course snobbery belongs on The Student Room, not here. And that's coming from someone with a heavy background in science and humanities. Agreed, coming from someone with a Computer Science background. If governments are going to subsidize education (which they should) it should be all programs, not a discriminatory priority approach.
