    Belgian justice accuses Scientology of being criminal

    It's about time some country decided to keep that bullshit out. Most prefer to turn a blind eye because of "religious tolerance" or indifference. I'm glad that at least here they've kept a rather low profile; on the other hand we have IURD... Scientology was never meant to be a real religion...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Well, there's a community here, making mods and competitions. I don't know how active it is, but hey, it's something. It's a shame that they won't be making any more games like this.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I've been playing Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic with a couple of friends. It's a very nice turnbased strategy game. Edit: I just noticed I wrote "turnbased RTS"... which doesn't make much sense.

    Abandoned Charger RT

    Wow, great pics. What a shame about those cars though. My dad is really into old cars and would love to see this. Could you perhaps tell us roughly where they are? Edit: Nevermind, I just saw the site. Great pics still.

    Fallout 1 alpha/beta/you know

    De nada. 8-) Well, I was in a bit of a rush earlier, but I just ran it and it said it needed dos4gw. Oops; I guess I should have included it. Anyway, here's the file. Just place it in the same dir as the other stuff and main.exe should run. Tried on the regular winxp cmdline and on dosbox with...

    Fallout 1 alpha/beta/you know

    Well, here are the files, if you are still interested. Main.exe is just the fallout engine prototype and fallout.scr is a screensaver.

    Transgenic corn farm vandalized

    Both points are true; remember that the west doesn't act totally based on altruism, neither on profiteering. By exporting crops that the beneficiary country didn't have in the first place, economic impact can be reduced, and food diversity would increase. Cereals can be relatively easy to store...

    Transgenic corn farm vandalized

    No technology is inherently evil, it all depends on the use... more on that below. This should be regulated by laws. The inability to have offspring isn't inherent to modified crops, afaik. Research by universities, or other independent groups, should continue. While it was proven that some of...

    Transgenic corn farm vandalized

    There is overproduction in wealthy countries, but it ends up cheaper to bury food than to export it for free, callous as this might sound. I see one benefit in this in allowing poor countries to at least produce some for themselves.

    Transgenic corn farm vandalized

    in Algarve, Portugal. Unfortunately, I was unable to get any mention of this in an english-speaking website, so here's a google translation. There are some better articles, but somehow they would just refuse to be translated... Anyway, this is awful: a bunch of spoiled kids band up to wreck...

    What is your weather like?

    Sunny, but very windy here. I actually caught a cold last week just by walking in the street wearing a t-shirt.

    Troika's post apoc RPG

    I had seen the screenshots, but this was new to me. A damn shame that they didn't get the FO3 license; having such a promising game in their hands could have saved them. Any chance that this makes it to our hands, like the VanBuren tech demo?

    The RIAA loves college students.

    There have been a few articles at Slashdot about this. It seems some universities are actually ignoring the MAFIAA and protecting their students. Too bad yours isn't.

    Tinnitus

    Now that you mention it... :twisted: Heh, come on, you never had this whine in your ears? I think most people have it at least once, for whatever reason.

    Need help FAST with PC to PC transfer!

    Here's my checklist for getting file sharing to work on WinXP: -Check that you have TCP/IP, Microsoft network client and Microsoft file sharing enabled on both PC's network config. -Assign IP addresses in the same subnet; 192.168.1.x/255.255.255.0 is recommended for this, but other ranges...

    Tinnitus

    I've always had that, and it was especially audible when I went to bed. I had otitis when I was a kid, that could be the cause. Nowadays I really don't notice anymore, but I still have it.

    What's your favorite crpg NPC character?

    Well, as for non recruitables, I'll go with the majority and say that the Master was the best. I really felt my stomach turning when I first encountered him. And that awesome speech "Master! MASTER!" really made him remarkable. I'd give Lou-Tenant a 2nd place (heh, he sounded really regal for a...

    Tales of Torment

    Great read. Having recently finished Torment for the first time makes this even more interesting to me.

    Nuts for Jericho, Caps for Fallout ?

    So suddenly the point is no longer to make games better, but just appealing to the lowest common denominator? And why didn't they just start their own post-apoc game franchise? It would have been cheaper and it wouldn't have brought all the "baggage" that Fallout brings, ie. existing fans and a...
