The bible isn't true, aren't you old enough to know that by now?

yeah I figure I'll need a setting to keep them in spectator mode or somethin.

each direction (x/y) for now... should be each tile though since you could do a lot more cool stuff with that

Enjoy http://ews.uiuc.edu/~sbak2/disc/bomb_tease.wmv It seams like you should be able to set the velocities based on which tile you hit hmm.... ship bounces too for that matter. This seems to throw a wrench in the whole backward compatibility thing... oh well.

yeah we bought a high-end quad-core computer for work and put vista64 on it... what a pain in the !@#$%^&*. Restarting takes as long as my 4-year-old XP laptop and there aren't even any programs on it. Also, this is probably specific to the 64 bit version but you can only put in signed drivers. It's not a pop-up warning you, it just won't allow it. The only way to get around this is to restart the computer in a special mode (and you can't make it a permanent setting, so every time you restart you need to press F8 and select the mode, so lame!).

so he basically took foodstamps and spots in shelters that could have been going to real homeless people? nice

Out of the 7 things you mentioned, if we had had a different president, a good majority wouldn't have occurred. 1. war in iraq, probably not 2. not finding bin laden, not really the president's fault, probably woulda still happened 3. response to hurricane katrina, 50/50, with no war in iraq the national guard of Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama would have been at home to help 4. Global warming, 50/50, a different president may have signed the kyoto protocol 5. no child left behind, probably not, although I dunno why the people don't like this program; a universal standard for education is a GOOD thing, maybe they don't like the implementation or how it determines funding, but country-wide tests is a good idea (maybe every year is too much) 6. patriot act, probably something similar (overreaction after 9/11) woulda happened no matter who was president 7. torture, no, if the president !@#$%^&*ertively stated that there would be no waterboarding or declaration of US citizens as "enemy combatants" there wouldn't be outrage

if you're poor the government already pays for your health care. The incentive to work comes in from having a place to live, food, clothes and health not being enough. People strive for more than just survival and will work to achieve it. If being poor is so great, why do you continue to work? Being poor is not fun.

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure offering only emergency treatment is expensive, whereas if you offer preventative treatment before it becomes an emergency it costs a lot less.

That is socialized health care, however that is not Hillary's plan. With her plan, you and all the insured people get to keep your current health insurance. The government plan she proposes is like a safety net, such that if you ever lose coverage you are automatically subscribed (and must pay for) the government plan. I assume part of the government plan will also be subsidized through taxes too.

except neither of them are proposing socialized health care? It's just a government plan to compete with existing ones. Hillary's is mandatory whereas Obama's is opt-in.

obama's health care plan isn't going to work... it's opt-in and no one gets turned down (so pretty much all the sick people who can't afford other plans will take advantage of the government subsidized plan)... that means tax payers will have to cover the costs, in addition to providing healthcare for themselves. heath and human services is the biggest part of the budget already... if we put in a health plan that fails into place, our debt it going to go through the roof. With clinton's plan, everyone who doesn't have health care has to get it, so that healthy people without healthcare will mitigate some the costs from tax payers. obama's much more inspirational, but I don't want to have to pay lots taxes for a failing plan.

I don't think beliefs are with certainty; dictionary.com's first definition for believe is "1. to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so." Having confidence in the truth of something is different than knowing something with certainty (the old adage that knowledge is true, justified, belief comes into play here; if you know something it must be true, and justified, whereas you can believe something that is false without any justification). Yeah I think weak-atheism includes agnosticism but I'm still for strong-atheism, at least with respect to an interacting God (a non-interacting God is inconsequential, as you mentioned). Going back to the Newton analogy, I would say that Newton did not believe in relativity because there was no evidence for it at the time.

Funny I thought it would be m!@#$%^&* going to infinity and therefore force required to accelerate going towards infinity as we get closer to the speed of light. Even a modest 90% the speed of light would take too long and wouldn't be feasible to achieve. I think bending space sounds like a good idea though.

Aha that's a very interesting point. It doesn't apply just to a God though. Imagine a natural cause for the big bang is figured out. God could still be an invisible en!@#$%^&*y that doesn't and never has interacted with this universe. In fact, anything that is truly invisible to this universe has, by definition, no evidence for or against its existence. If the question is does anything invisible exist, then I suppose I can't really conclude either way. It's sort of inconsequential if they are truly invisible. It's not that you know God doesn't exist, it's that you don't believe he does. I mean if evidence was presented contrary, my beliefs would change. Newton believed his laws of motion were correct, but turns out relativity says they're not exactly correct. Belief isn't irreversible.

kucinich cause he wanted real socialized health care and I think it's a good idea. I like huckabee's fair tax plan. Couldn't vote cause I'm registered independent and in Florida that means no primary. Of the current candidates I think Obama will probably be best, but honestly Clinton, Obama, or McCain would be a welcome sight.

if you define reality by what you experience, then I define God by interfering with our realm of existence. No interference, no God. I think most people would say that reality is what is actually going on, not what one thinks is going on. Atheists aren't defined by anti-religious sentiments. Simply put, Atheists don't believe anything supernatural exists. In your metaphor, I don't see what the issue is of someone believing magnetic monopoles don't exist (at least, until they have evidence of them).

If you want to start a new module from scratch, there is currently no F1 help menu. Additionally there is no display for the player's energy and such (team, bounty), although I suspect the first project is a better one to start out with as the second one is a little more involved. The interface is indeed a lot like ASSS with interfaces and callbacks.

I dunno, technology sucks at solving real-world problems on its own, unless a person specifically designs something for a particular task. I'd be more afraid of just little robots capable of creating other little robots from like scrap metal or other things we leave lying around. It's not that it'd be smart, it'd just be annoying.

The windows build has been fixed in revision 26 (goldeye don't ever make me do that again lol). if you're looking for something to do tsoccerman after doing the tutorials you may want to try to fix the bombs. So I was half way through implementing them when I stopped so you can fire a bomb right now but it pretty much stays still and doesn't move (do practice offline and use wb to shoot bombs). You can look at the gun item heavily since that one moves, can collide with walls, and pretty much is like a bomb in all ways save graphics. The source is in the client/src/Modules/SS_Items directory, Gun.h and Bomb.h (ew that's sloppy style having header files contain source code... maybe I'll do something about it later). man I thought changing all the paths was tedious work but I was watching a nova special on the restoration of the Parthenon. They said they it was like a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle in three dimensions with missing pieces and no blueprint.
