A. I wrote "direct and immediate" for a reason, maybe I should have elaborated... What I meant was something like the laws that governs self defence in many countries. If someone is coming close to the AI loaded with explosives or if someone is shooting a long range missile at it that would be...

If the AI were but an advisor humans would quite probably override it too often, for the wrong reasons. (Egotism, greed, etc.) But what if you were able to imprint something like the Asimov's robot rules in the AI, though not as severe, to not make it totally powerless. Like have it...

Call of Ktulu with Metallica I also seem to like most of Apocalyptica's stuff.

Tehee. BBSs were fun and kinda exciting. The pr0n with the huge pixels, the mindblowing ASCII turn based war games, the leet haxxorz with their leet handles who kept bragging about their phreaking skills and such. But nah, the C64 days were sweet but I wouldn't go back for my life.

I'm one of the people who picked the "merge with AI and control the world" ending in the old Deus Ex. I also remember a number of books where benevolent AIs where in control, but also the books and movies where the AI in control had gone terribly, terribly wrong. Anyway, we are probably very far...

The singleplayer is pretty nifty, but the multiplayer is just "haha I know in what order to queue my buildings and I can click my mouse and touch my quick keys faster than you". It's like a ultra fast version of Monkey Island but without the story and the jokes, thus it sucks.

It isn't as though the point is new or anything though. Yes, the author says that too, but his view really ain't different. And there are *quality* content on the internet. For example, by logging in at my university's library from home, I get access to close to a hundred databases with *real*...

It has been rock stable so far at my Athlon XP 2200+ 1Gig DDR and Radeon 9800. A patch has also been released, apparently fixing many of the GeForce related problems.

I'm really surprised that no one has mentioned this here. Just got the game and man does it seem sweet. I can without a doubt say that the graphics and physics are without par so far in FPSs. The story is nothing special but the overall feel is awesome. Also the AI seems damn good. I think that...

Gally and Rohan continued looking for the parts as Eric and Kilrick headed upstairs. "This here shit is mighty fucked up", Gally said as he put a some hoses and a filter in his scavenging bag and then took several chugs from his flask. "Yeah, tell me about it.", Rohan replied. The two...

I'm at Univ. writing a stupid English literature thesis at the moment. Then I'll jump on the teacher's programme, social science, and hopefully become a teacher at our equivalent of senior high school some day. Between the studies I work as a nursing assistant at a senile ward.

Lost it :(

Only stupid people, who have been at the net for about half an hour total, open unknown attachments anyway...

Yeah... But I honestly think that the only real step up from 1942 is the music. Otherwise I just see it as little more than a well done mod with a price tag, sorry. :D

"Heh, seems like I got in with you people just as it was getting hot.", Gally said with a grin, looking at the burning wreck of the building. Mostly everyone glared at him. "Ah, sorry. I'm pretty damn good at saying the wrong things at the wrong time." He furiously scratched his beard in...

Hear, hear... I really think that the Chinese could become *the* superpower of the world, both economic and otherwise if they play their cards right. Both their BNP and their standard of living have grown explosively for a country that size the last decade or so (even though the difference...

Yeah, as Malk said. And of course I already know about the wonderful Underdogs, thanks for the suggestion though CC...

Since my fav gaming site Gamesdomain has been sadly kidnapped by the evil Yahoo machine, I have a void to fill. I think IGN, Gamespot and Gamespy really are 50% full page ads and 50% shit, all wrapped in glossy plastic, thus I have a hard time finding something to fill that void. So, what...

Not to turn this into some kind of linguist languish, but from the beginning, 'thou' was actually *less* polite than 'you' if I remember my linguistic classes correctly. Note for example Shakespeare's usage of 'thou', it's used (albeit inconsistently) when friends or lovers talk with each other...

If guns are allowed in a certain country, they should only be used in highly dangerous situations. I believe it's demeaning to human life to be prepared to use guns in lesser situations like property crimes and such.
