  1. That's cool. I'm hopeful that by the time I die we will at least know of a planet we could inhabit somewhere, or even one already inhabited. The problem is that in order to make interstellar travel practical we would need to be able to travel faster than light speed - even that planet you indicated would obviously take 1600 years to reach at light speed. I just don't see that happening any time soon.
  2. Sherlock Holmes - 8/10. Plot was ok, acting was good, especially Jude law, and the music/sound was amazing. Avatar - 7/10 Visually impressive and dramatically dull. Predictable and rushed. The Lovely Bones - 10/10. Phenomenal movie, best I've seen in years, though from what I read of reviews most don't share that opinion. The fact that PJ made a movie with Mark Wahlberg in it and he didn't ruin it is very impressive ;) Brothers - 8.5/10. Kind of creepy/depressing, but very well done. Toby Mcguire wasn't as silly and as he usually is. Princess and the Frog - 8.5/10. Nice to see Disney going back to 2d animation, was very interesting and the songs were great(something lacking in recent Disney movies)
  3. I did something similar with a jquery tutorial, but it took a lot of messing around with. Dunno if its what you want but try here: http://www.queness.com/post/966/jquery-drop-down-menu-for-rss-subscription-tutorial
  4. It is the upkeep for your ramparts, destroy them to lower that :lol: Hmm well that explains it...WHAT THE [bleep] THOUGH 3k STONE?? :(
  5. For some reason my "army" ( I don't have one) is using up 3k stone...why is this, and how can I fix it?
  6. And I agree with you completely. We will one day run out of fossil fuels - that much is undeniable. But if we are trying to replace them, it should be because of that fact, not because they "might" be bad for the environment. And yes, a [cabbage]load more research needs to be done into fuel alternatives, as hybrid cars that actually save fuel are largely impractical and quite expensive, and I already made the ethanol point.
  7. Why spend billions of dollars making wind farms that can only be used when it's windy? Why start using "water-efficient" toilets that clog the minute anything solid goes into them? Why use hybrid cars that are more expensive to maintain, have poor fuel economy, and don't save much at all? Why use ethanol fuel as an alternative to fossil when the emissions are just as bad and production is largely impractical? The question I'm trying to raise here is: Is it worth it? If we had ireffutable proof that we were causing global warming and the planet would explode in 10 years, oh and "findings" and "commissions" looked at both sides of the story, and articles didn't have to exagerate facts, oh and graphs didn't have to be overweighted...then, maybe then, it would be worth it. But as of now?...Lets stop the public panic and donate that money to poor children in africa. Because, I'm sorry, but I fail to see how spending billions of dollars to "try" to lower earth's temperature by 1 degree is worth more than a human life. In response to your edits: I agree absolutely the environment shouldn't be abused. Personally I turn off all lights when I'm not using them, eat a lot of vegetables(as opposed to meat), take the bus/bike 95% of the travelling I do, try to minimize my waste. But I do that because I don't want to abuse our environment, not because I'm sold into some media-induced panic.
  8. Denial? Not outright. It's certainly possible global warming exists, and we have something to do with it. But my question to you is this: Why the [bleep] should governments be spending billions and trillions of dollars attempting to fix an "issue" so surounded by controversy that little or no concrete evidence exists? Especially when such massive amounts of money could be put to so much better use.
  9. D0nts is a beast from what I remember so I guess piling him early was a bad choice :P Looks like fun.
  10. Any clan who accepts members as trials from their paired clan and vice versa should be kicked from the tourney imo.
  11. Let see.. $05.00 Call of Duty 1 $35.00 Call of Duty MWF1 $20.00 Splinter Cell - chaos theory $05.00 Original splinter cell $10.00 Halo $02.50 Team Fortress 2 $45.00 some silly rts, forget the name $117.50 Yeah maybe I'm forgetting something but it can't be over $150. Oh and then 2yrs rs membership at $60 per year....
  12. Yes, lets just write a hugely complex algorith to determine human behaviour, you know that kind of thing could easily be done in a week. Lets also baby our players with bad internet connections: Going pking? Suck at it? Not anymore! With the new autostayalive feature, just sit back and let the computer do everything for you! I do like #25 and 26 though. As for the originals, I like them too...just not #1.
  13. See that is the kind of thing that might be doable while the game is in developement, but I think we can all agree that were it to be implemented now it would ruin the game.
  14. Ok so after playing for a few weeks I see some major issues. Firstly - glitches: Nothing major...but I haven't seen them get fixed yet. Secondly - Jcredits - ridiculously overpriced, you should definitely be able to use ingame gold to purchase stuff in the store. The way it is now I have no JCredits and without any construction speed boosters I basically just log in once a day, make a new building then leave. This game incourages afk - you can't really play it at all unless you have a huge amount of JCredits or whatever. Once a day is all I need to log in now and my stuff is around level 10...once I get higher it will be once every 3 days which is just stupid. Oh and the fact people can attack you when you're gone? Also stupid...I haven't been attacked yet but I would like to be able to defend myself. The whole "game active when you're gone" idea is interesting, but just impractical, and to be honest makes for a [cabbage]ty game. If they reset it after the beta, I won't continue playing. Otherwise, I'll just keep checking it as often as I check my hotmail...every few days.
  15. Meh I guess its nice to get that confirmed...I never used it past level 90 anyway.
  16. Yeah you knew the rules when you signed up, your problem. This is the first huge tourney tip.it has had in ages, you can't expect everything to go 100% right. Also bear in mind there are 20 from each - the remainder after 20 would be free to fight for the "clan". The difference is pretty negligible.
  17. Its not against any rule at all, I'm sure someone would be happy to help you. It sounds like you want something similar to a countdown timer like the one pure_mageUK created (obviously it would need to be extended). Since it is web based, php is your best bet and I don't know anything near enough to possibly make that. Hopefully you find someone to do it though.
  18. I don't mind it, definitely go with that other palette though.
  19. Same here. I don't find arab or asian women attractive at all (well very rarely). I actually think some black girls are hot though.
  20. Got a camera beard finally the other day :) I've been playing so much spy lately, it's insane.....but so much fun :D
  21. Aha trying to ;) I don't know if I actually will though, I'm level 13 though after 2 days so when I get to 20 I might want to buy it then...
