get up right when my alarm rings the first time

if you don't think there's any annoying drunk people late at parties... you're it!

drinking with a group of friends is lots of fun. unfortunately, yeah, like you said some people don't realize they turn into !@#$%^&*bags when they drink too much. But a few beers is good for socializing. The problem is typically when people go "out" they go to either a club or a bar... which has 1. drinking 2. socializing and 3. dancing all of which can be fun but after like 3 hours it just gets stupid... parties are great if you know like 50% of the people and there's lots of stuff to do, not just drink and talk. drinking games are always fun. It's funny though how people act when they drunk... there's like !@#$%^&*bags, annoying people (typical girl reaction), more rare are ASSS (at least among my friends), and then there's the person who just passes out or throws up everywhere or both. But the much more typical reaction is to just be more social and easier to talk to (plus having passed out people to make fun of always helps). One thing I noticed is that after people drink a lot the typical conversation gets stupider and stupider. This is probably why it's easier to talk to people: it's a lot easier to talk about something stupid. I'm sure if you went to a party and stayed sober for a few hours you'd notice that it's hard to have a conversation with anyone. It's like everyones IQ drops 20 points and bam, suddenly there's a million dumb things to talk about. Beer's not for everyone though. If you don't like annoying people try marijuana (without drinking). You also find lots interesting of things to talk about, enjoy lots of tasty food, and don't wake up with hangovers not remembering the night before. Plus not being able to die from taking too much is always a plus!

thunderjam, what sort of evidence would be necessary to convince you to become an atheist?

it's a pretty blatant ad for the g2 bulliten dealie

i disagree d1stort... I think many democrats would seriously consider voting for huckabee... especially if deaths in iraq keeps going down. even without that he could run on the fact that we messed up iraq and have some sort of responsibility to fix it, which most people understand.

yeah i usually side with the liberals but I might actually consider hukabee... i like that fair tax idea... seems like all the overseas businesses would move back to the states. his views on abortion and the death penalty are as republican as ever... but I doubt he'll get congress to overturn anything.

they should take the frames from those cars and put them on crappy ones we can afford.

bot makes a better topic then 75% of normal people

use double buffering

go ahead

grel's not around too much... I've decided to make the spec ship 8 for both clients as it will help them mix. It's a bit silly since now we have ships 0-7 are normal, 8 is spec, and 9-255 are normal... that's the cost of reverse compatibility I suppose.

so 1.4.4 is out and ideally I'd switch to be using that. Unfortunately this is non-obvious since i've changed some files such as net.c, and so has grel, and manually merging the changes takes too long. I had to modify files to make ASSS recognise that discretion clients are real clients, one example is the IS_OURS macro in net.h had to be changed to /* check whether we manage this client */ #define IS_OURS(p) ((p)->type == T_CONT || (p)->type == T_VIE || (p)->type == T_DISC) There's lots of other places that check if the client is VIE or CONT that have to be changed too. Another thing is that the spec ship is hardcoded to "8" in continuum but not so in discretion, so there's a few changes in game.c... anyways I dunno I managed to get continuum 0.40 working with ASSS 1.4.3 but in the long term we want to be able to upgrade to the newer versions but I don't want to do it manually every time. Ideally we'd have the changes put into the main release since they're backwards compatible, or change the structure so that it handles new clients without having to change a hardcoded macro. meh.

here's my paintball zone I had up earlier this year with map rotation, ammo + co2, droppable guns ect. lots of cool graphics by s!@#$%^&* too. It's pretty much done, I just didn't have time to manage the zone: http://ews.uiuc.edu/~sbak2/paintball.zip

since when do companies have to give their full-time workers health care?

how is this game going to be different than Discretion !@#$%^&*uming both get finished?

hmm? what do you mean by chat and graphical interface, because I'm pretty sure Discretion has both.

yeah but it's not like all of the people in the us are in one city and all of the people in the UK are in one city... as long as the number of cities is linear in proportion to the population, your argument doesn't work. this is an ignorant thing to say. at one point it was your right to own a slave and with a viewpoint like yours that would have never changed.

how is it completely false?

in a perfect world we wouldn't have guns... since we want to move towards a perfect world at some point we need to get rid of guns.

I watched the trailer and was like wtf... I started talking to my mom about how ridiculous it's getting with people thinking this is atheist or narnia is religious... then she said that the reason for the controversy is free publicity. This makes so much sense and it's similar to how authors cheer when their books are banned in that everyone then wants to read them. I definitely think that's why this was made out to seem controversial. I know I wouldn't have bothered to look at the trailer if it wasn't for the controversy (and specifically this topic).

perhaps this is something for another topic, but giving a pardon rather than changing the law seems like a way to appease the West without really changing your ways. He wouldn't have given a pardon if the West wasn't so offended, and I doubt he'll do that in every case (this has happened more than once).

I agree with NBV, although I'm not sure why... it's sad that is was a teenage girl but if you can't take crap from a stranger on the internet... well yeah.
