you da man! Both of you.
[quote]Cutting your balls off to avoid testicular cancer would be risk management. You are mitigating the damage from a future possibility. It's a completely reasonable course of action by the standards the environmentalists have set for global warming. Some people end up with testicular cancer in their twenties you know, you can't wait too long![/quote] Just go write for Rush Limbaugh already. That argument has more holes in it than yo mama.
in yo mamma. But seriously, I hope we're all intelligent and honorable enough to leave highschool b.s. as a hazy memory in the past. And not repeat the idiotic experience all over again.
[quote]Who here would cut their balls off in highschool just in case they get testicular cancer later on? The risk, assuming the catastropic scenario occurs, is that we lose some land and have a net gain in both viable land and food output on existing areas. A wider hospitable range, and longer growing seasons in general. The management, if you want to call it that, is to cut our balls off, feed them to Al Gore, and eat the grass in our backyar

Can't we agree that if there is a risk of something occuring, it is best to minimize the danger? Just because something may seem unlikely doesn't mean it shouldn't be prepared for. I know Frogboy, being CEO and all [e digicons];)[/e] , should have some knowledge of risk management

Something to think about; I know it doesn't really nesc. mean much... but living out here in the pacific, we are noticing a def. raise in the water levels. Some of the islands out here are getting covered by water, forcing people to move. One of the smaller nations out here voiced their concerns about this at a UN conference; they weren't taken seriously.
we're having a discussion w/ a ceo! Yay! Shouldn't you be fixing AI or something though? Seriously though, tres chic!

[quote]Sorry to hear you're still getting crashes mate, i'll re-make the patch and double check the released files to make sure there's no different between Internal/Release versions.[/quote] Thanks, but I'm thinking the dump is from diplomacy itself and not the mod. One thing I noticed in my rummaging and wall-head banging was that the capitalbeam stuff for the psi planet defense buff is a bit odd (no particle effects, beam as missle? With curvature?) I'm not sure if t

[quote]A presidential election is a lot like a timed game of king-of-the-hill, played with an audience equipped with fire hoses. It's rarely to a candidate's advantage to be at the top of the heap until the very end.[/quote] How old school of you.

[quote]Still trying to find this Diplomacy issue, just built 9 hangars all with different variations of the strikecraft and not once could I get it to crash [/quote] Guess that means I need to re-install. Oh joy. *edit: still getting a dump. Oh well.

Ok, so I'm getting a mini-dump (for diplomacy ,9) when I build the hangar defense module for the advent. I have shield best. researched for it, so that may be the problem.

I keep getting a minidump on the diplomacy mod, I'm trying to figure out whats causing it; so far no luck.
Well fuzzy, if you read the OP, it seems to be full of political bias. The boat was sinking right out of the harbor.

[quote]Demographics might be different at other universities.[/quote] not to mention other states. In my exp. most the classes were about 50-50 conservative to liberal. Funny that you should mention national security and econ. as my prof. was a former intelligence officer; he was one kick @ss dude (for being in his 70's)
It makes you a person who thinks too much to fit into todays world. Roll over beethoven, kill some bairn sells, and macke sume gramaticel erores. *You can't make others smarter, but you can dumb yourself down. It also helps with the depression.
[quote]What exactly is this supposed to mean? Both are more likely to be 'liberal', unless the people who've taken political science also focus on international security or economics.[/quote] So taking political science or playing a video game makes you liberal? That makes no sense. And the conservative party doesn't seem to be overly concerned with international security or economics... only blocking whatever the opposing party tries to achieve. <
Is it just me, or does the internet make most people stupid? Or maybe the avg. IQ really has hit rock bottom...
