A less presumptuous name.

Don't ask about anything unless you really want to know. Also, I used to just use apple desktop images until the big volcano eruption a while back. This and the immediately preceding desktop image came from the thread about it here.

I believe that's the same quest you're talking about for getting gazers. Hmm, seems like the same timing to me.

I was going to do something, but I never got around to it. More like I forgot until i was passed it.

All of the games have great moods. A bit of humor that stuck with me from G5 is this: Quote: You search through it, looking for clues. Alas, not all pots in Terrestia contain valuable information. Not sure why, but I always appreciated that.

Ben Folds is great. I went to a DCI show last night too.

The only G2 editor I ever used that was supposedly a remake of the classic G1 editor is located at a sign outside of an abandoned building in one of the first two zones.

The obelisk in the bandit woods is just outside of the entrance to the ruined school.

What happens in the upper atmosphere is more or less this: The CFCs are his by radiation, which causes them to break down. This is initially good, as it absorbs radiation, which is what ozone does for us in the first place. However, the halide atoms produced are highly reactive and catalyze the decomposition of ozone, preventing ozone from absorbing radiation. I see that people are referring to the chlorine as an ion, which is not true. The CFC decomposes, it doesn't ionize. Therefore, the resultant chlorine is an actual atom of chlorine, which is a free radical, and thus highly reactive.

I'm no expert on ozone, but I trust Thurylilith. Or whatever he's called. That said, editing is nice.

Different? Surely. Weak and depleted? Not necessarily. The rapid extinction opened up massive amounts of resources with very low competition. New populations would develop as soon as the region could support life. Organisms with natural resilience to radiation would be at a higher advantage. With the amount of radiation constantly decreasing, populations will live longer and healthier lives, especially given the amount of resources. Sure, there is probably still a notable ecological difference between the fallout region and similar non-radioactive regions, but it doesn't surprise me that life is thriving there. That said, I'm just a guy with a single bio course (high school AP) and a good bit of logic. I could well be completely wrong.

Evidence that I am very interested to read, but too lazy to go and find.

When they start discovering/decoding the genes for specific functions and organs, will we have to pay royalties for having/using such functions and organs?

You may want to post what you did in case others have this problem.

Does anyone fully understand how trademarks/patents/copyrights work?

Gah, I've been sucked in. johari nohari

New copyright laws anyone?

In that case, I'm not sure a forwards exists.

They seem to be making plenty of money. Maybe happiness will follow. You forget that the correlation between money and greed is exponential. The more money you have, the more you want.

Jeff has to give credit for all ideas not his own. He'd rather just avoid the hassle and come up with ideas on his own.
