Why am I not surprised?

I don't know whether to be worried or amused that Ed was linked with TM.

No, you're not the only one. I'm in the same boat. In fact I like this boat.

That sounds rather fancy. It sounds even fancier since I have no idea what this means.

As for me I'd have to settle for a Dragon Ball sort of thing. I used to love that show.

Is it just me, or is every time I read this, my head says it in a scottish accent. I am somewhat amused.

So it's gone from useless to worse?

While randomly clicking around on Wikipedia out of boredom, I stumbled across this:

While it may not constitute as "intelligent", a libing this is a living thing. And by the the looks of this article, it's possible it could happen somewhere else.

I was going to try and learn by myself how to make scenarios and how to C++. That didn't get very far though.

Sorry about the double post, but I read this way after I posted.

 

 

You've said it quite well there. I can't agree with you more. As I mentioned before, an orangutan figuring out how to use a saw within a few quick minutes, which to say the least, is a fair bit better than what a lot of people would do. If at all, every animal in existence has it's intelligence very much so relevant to it's living conditions. If anything, we humans have made ourselves a lot more less intelligent.

 

 

I do agree to this, but only partially. We as a species have actually been able to manipulate our environment and mostly everything in it. But I do think it's gotten to a point where it's starting to backwards slightly. Within the last 30 odd years, we've seen the rise of things like tv, computers, the internet and the like. While all these things can be useful to spread information and the like, it's also been used to spread a whole heap of misinformation and absolute nonsense.

Said dolphin has a lot farther just to get to land first.

On the contrary, the last mass extintion, although as the name suggests, wiped a lot of critters out, mostly the dinosaurs, it also helped other lifeforms to flourish. For instance, while the dinosaurs were around, they were the "dominant species". While there were mammals around, there were very few and very small, mostly rodent like things.



Define intelligence. I've watched doco's where people have studied a few different ape species. One thing that stuck in my mind was when they left a saw with and orangutan. It actually picked up it, "studied" it for a few quick minutes and then sawed a log open to get to its food source. Not only do I find this amazing, I do see it to being a bit more intelligent tahn Sheldon Cooper.

Those mineral calys just sitting there by themselves and I don't think much will happen. But if add something a bit energetic, say like the radiation that would come from the Sun. Earth's atmosphere wasn't as thick, and of slightly different constituentcy than it is today, it would of let more radiation in, and may of cause a few wee little reactions here and there. Sort of a bit like photosynthesis.

"Armageddon" was just a movie, if I remember rightly, starred Bruce Willis. If you want, ask old Brucey what he thinks will happen, and I'm pretty sure it wqould be something comepletly different from the movie he starred in.

Thuryl, I do honestly beg to differ. I am ready to be proven wrong, but I do , although self proven, do believe based on looked up (on SW mostly, and somewhat self tested) that Dexterity makes to hit and avoid being hit.

 

If you want to settle this, just try raising your Dex up as much as you can. Being as low as it as you've displayed, I think you'll only be able to hit lower level critters until the Dex is raised to about 8 or 9 before you can get the occaisonal decent hit in.

You do realise that "Armageddon" and the end of Mayan calendar are two different things..

No, apparently the universe will kill itself. Acording to some people's "theories," we are just helping the planet we live on die quicker than it's spsoe to.

You have to be enrolled first. In which I am not. Which means, apparently I "know nothing".

Trenton, you do not understand. It's us older generation that's trying to prolong the Earth in such a fashion that when your great grand children have the awesome technology, to not only rape the Earth of all its resources, but to take the whole Solar system for all its worth, and then blow it up in fantastic magnifisence.

My understanding is that, you should have a choice and the freedom to vote. As far as I see it, Australia takes it to the extreme where it's you don't have the freedom to choose if you vote, you are a criminal and you have no freedom if you do not vote.

At least you lot have a choice whether or not you want to vote. I have the option to void citizenship or vote. I have the right to void freedom to vote in Australia.

I noticed your Dexterity is quite low. While Strength does help in giving damage and helps to add to your weapon skills, Dexterity is quite well needed, as it gives a bonus to hit, and to avoid being hit.

 

End of story, add more points to dexterity. If you start over again, make sure to balance your skill points between Strength, Dexterity, and whatever weapon bas that character is using.

If I remeber right, there's one in Hawke's Manse that points you to a nice sword

I don't about that. We've had the coolest summer in Australia, at least in Queensland for a while. We've also had quite a lot of rain this time of year, for the last few years, which may have something to do with it.
