Re: OT: Counter-Terrorism is a Farce

I thought I would walk into a hornets nest when I read the title, and I was right... A few comments:

1) It is entirely misleading to say "Hezbollah started it!" or "Israel started it!". If you say...

Re: OT : A psychosocial question

Philosophers and mathematicians tried. And they did the best that they could with Kurt Gödel, when he proved around 1920 that it is an impossibility to have a system of mathematics that covers all...

Re: Official SE5 release date announced - Septembe

Tell a strapping young developer of 20 years to work on a game, and turn it in when it is done and free of bugs, and he will die of old age before submitting for distribution. And what that developer...

Re: Official SE5 release date announced - Septembe

To be fair here, one week after retail release does not equal one week developer time. To go Gold, the situation would generally go something like so (completely making up amount of time here, but 4...

Re: CB replacement players needed

CB#2 has basically turned into a weekly. It's technically a 50-hour game, but it's set to last player upload, and all of us have had moments where we were holding up the game for a few to several...

Re: OT: Upper limit on Lasers, range and power....

IIRC, lasers used to "shoot down" ICBMs do nothing of the sort of vaporizing anything. What they do is interfere with the tracking and guidance systems, and essentially force it to dive down into the...

Re: OT: Upper limit on Lasers, range and power....
