[quote who="Mumblefratz" reply="809" id="2505465"] I stand by expecting that the decade of the 10's will be warmer on average than any decade on record and will contain at least one if not more years warmer than the precious 1998 that skeptics claim was the year that global warming ended. Is that specific enough for you? Could you perhaps be specific on what sort of evidence might be sufficient to change your mind? Or like most skeptics here is there no possible evidence
How convenient that the predictions change, as if they hadn't existed as such initially, when reality renders them inaccurate.
[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="774" id="2505160"] We simply cannot afford to gamble by ignoring it. We cannot risk inaction. Those scientists who say we are merely entering a period of climatic instability are acting irresponsibly. The indications that our climate can soon change for the worse are too strong to reasonable be ignored.

[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="743" id="2504594"]how does that contradict anything that i said? we don't use CFC's anywhere near the rate we used to, and since then the ozone layer is repairing, albeit really slowly. [/quote] Your entire argument against skepticism of AGW is little more than your claim that only "experts" are qualified enough to doubt the findings of the scientific community. You then claim that the science and status of CFCs falls under common knowledge. Please
Are you going to make a dedicated server binary available to hosting companies, so communities can pay to host more robust servers 24/7?
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="740" id="2504566"] this is common knowledge. [/quote] Whoa there. This pretty much contradicts what you've said about "complicated science." Only the experts are fit to understand such complex phenomena.
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="674" id="2503345"] How are you meant to be sceptical about the evidence for something if you don’t even understand the evidence to begin with? Idiot. [/quote] The insult is a cute touch. Somebody is struggling to make a point...
Wow, Tauren as the original bull-men? King Minos would not be pleased. Kids these days...
[quote who="-RAISTLIN-" reply="672" id="2503226"] Not really, only people with the requisite knowledge are qualified to be “sceptical” in this field. Those that do not possess such expertise are just armchair quarterbacks. True scepticism hinges upon evidence; ie if a certain amount of evidence supports a position then a person ceases to be sceptical regarding it. Since those best qualified to assess such evidence have a consensus position on at least the primary issue (does
Star Wars (the original) has likable and memorable characters. Avatar does not. James Cameron invested his time in developing the technology and the setting, not his characters or his story. Lucas may have ripped off Kurosawa, but the result was both iconic and entertaining. Perhaps Cameron could have picked stronger source material from which to build the non-technical elements of his film.
Neowin is a solid tech news site.
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="75" id="2498595"]ROFL! Avatar is going to cause a cult following like Lord of the Rings! [/quote] Lord of the Rings (the fantasy epic, and perhaps even the film trilogy) will long be remembered as the pioneering, quintessential fantasy work. Avatar's greatest accomplishments are purely technical.
Avatar could have been the next great epic film (following the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Star Wars). It was an entertaining experience, but far from a masterpiece. Oh well. EDIT: I wanted to add that Avatar is a "must see in the theater" experience. Thanks to convincing 3D technology and brilliant effects, it is somewhat of a thrill ride, which may justify the price of admission for many, regardless of the overall quality of the film.
Rachel Ray approves.

Sounds like the OP needs to start a non-profit games publisher to fund his dream model of gaming development. How would you fund these games? Freeware is created for marketing purposes or through private funds/personal development time due to a love of gaming. Neither source will pay the costs of a big-budget title.
I'm sick of the "pros" crying about the "noobs." Oh snap! [e digicons]:waaaa:[/e]
You could try this, as suggested above: http://anywhere.impulsedriven.com/ As for using Impulse itself, you should contact [email protected] and let them know about your issue and what you've done thus far to try to resolve it.
The MD5 error means that your download is corrupt. You should disable any web filtering applications (such as a software firewall or antivirus) and re-download Demigod. If the above does not help, try resetting Impulse's data and manually reinstalling the client. To do this: Click the file menu (blue tab at the top left of Impulse) Select Preferences Click the Reset Data button Close Impulse Go to <a href="http://www.impul
[quote who="CraigHB" reply="61" id="2489806"] In any case, I expect GC2 and Sins will be the last two games Stardock publishes in store-bought form without DRM. To avoid getting flamed as I did before, I *believe* this to be the case. Impulse is going to be the way of the future for Stardock and the Impulse DRM model will apply to all games they publish for better or worse. [/quote] There is no "Impulse DRM." There is GOO, which is part of the Impulse Reacto
[quote who="CraigHB" reply="58" id="2489753"]No source, just my own experience, so yea, I guess I would need to narrow my statements to the games I've actually bought through Impulse. So let me modify that statement to "some games" use a signature file. I would assume that Stardock uses the same authentication scheme for all of its titles, but I don't know that and I have no sources to site. If you don't believe what I'm saying about signature files, the
