  1. I have to vote neighter of the options, there are many scientific articles claiming both global warming in the near future as well as an ice age in the near future. Sometimes a local warming leading to a lasting cold. We clearly don't know enough to be a basis for changing our habits. We definatly still have more time, as I don't recall any elements of Earth that have been drastically changed by us to be beyond naturally occuring cycles.
  2. <embed type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" src="http://Website/DirectoryForVideo/Video.rm" width="Video's Width in pixels" height="Video's Height in pixels" autostart="true" controls="imagewindow" console="video"> I use that myself so it works for Real videos, put it in a table cell, match the width and height of the cell, and bingo you have a video inside the page.
  3. You have probobly heard of World of Warcraft, this is practically a smaller world, with 20 levels instead of 60, but it is more focused on Player vs Player then Player vs Enviornment like WoW, but has both. The graphics are very good, better then Wow, you don't pay monthly, and where in WoW you spend months getting one character, in Guild Wars the normal Player vs Enviorment is just for getting skills for different classes. You can instantly make any character you want from the combination of items/skills you've found in the normal mode for your PvP character at lvl 20 and fight in battles like 4v4. You can mix your skills/items as many times you want making new PvP characters daily, so you won't get bored with one guy over and over again.
  4. What you are looking for seems to be fraps, program made primary for taking videos of game playing, but should fit your need, can do clips in avi or screen shots and you can customize options to fine tune the kind of image/video you want. As I understand you want a clip of a wmv file, just play it in fullscreen, press the key fraps gives you to start, then press it again to end, and you get an avi, then use your favorite movie editing software to convert/edit. http://www.fraps.com/
  5. In school there always seems to be a social ladder, if you've never made any friends getting in without knowing communication can be real hard. I suggest starting low and working your way up. There must be other kids in your school who sit alone always, or don't talk much. Go up to them and start a conversation, you've already got something in common, you are always alone, make a friend and learn how to talk to your fellow students. Alot of these people are just like you, afriad or just not good in talking, but they can be quite interesting, I know quite a few I enjoy spending time with. Once you get some practice and enlist a few people as friends, attempt contact up a notch on the ladder, people that aren't known by everyone, but say a small group of friends, like 2 or 3 people playing basketball, ask them to join and just shoot hoops and stick around leaching. If you like them and they don't tell you to buzz off just keep sticking with em till pretty soon you'll be part of the gang. Don't forgot your old friends though just because you found some upper ladder friends. Just keep working your way up and learning from experience how to communicate.
  6. It might be simple but check that the cable between the DSL modem and the router is connected specifically to the WAN port on the router.
  7. I think the plot has to be interesting, but simple without you having to read fifty books. A few dialouges like diablo 2 had, all you needed where a few sentences for each quest. Instead you should learn the story by short dialog and surroundings. The combat system should be tactical, not just stand and click, but moving around and dodging/aiming.Focus should be more on gameplay then story, and predictable I don't mind when I'm relaxing, but being unique is good, with new ideas for creatures and attacks and traps to stimulate your mind. Graphics should be stunning, to be really something you just stand in a place and say wow, kindof like the arreat's summit view in diablo 2 when you look down, or some of the sights in FFX.
  8. As far as I know only fileplanet had it exclusively, and all the keys(I think they had 60,000) are all taken so you can't get it anymore. Plus it's protected by starforce so I wouldn't expect anyone else to be able to crack it. The game looks great visually, but I had trouble just starting a game(it is the beta so I hope they will fix it), things are unclear. Then when I started a game up I didn't know where to begin in building my town and lost my first battles. It really needs a tutorial or some practice single player to experiment and learn. The towns look so nice, especially comparing with 3 or 4. You can zoom in and out, rotate, stunning. It lagged a bit on high detail/resolution for me and I have a 3.2ghz 1gig ram computer, but on low my friend had no trouble with a 1.8 ghz 512mb ram on 1024 by 768.
  9. One of the best strategy series out there is almost ready to launch the final product. But to wet our anticipation, we have an open beta for everyone to try. Features only multiplayer and two maps. I still haven't tested it because I'm in line waiting 44 minutes on fileplanet servers, but I consider it worth the time. Any fan of strategy should try it.
  10. Let me just tell you if you don't do anything, it'll haunt you with regret for the rest of your life. If you do something and it goes bad, your be hitting on your next girl in no time. Think long term, not just to satisfy your personality issues with talking to random girls. If you want some practice to get ready, try going to the mall and try out some conversation starters with random girls, since they are total strangers, you can expect better results from your crush.
  11. You are acting shy and giving off a vibe which is making her uneasy. Act happy to see her(don't be afraid to show it) and your happy vibe should make her relaxed and happy too. Peer pressure can work for you like that. Just walk up to her, no one is gonna ask you why so don't worry. The location looks excellent too, the gym is perfect, you can play tennnis with her or show her some techniques in the gym you work at.
  12. I couldn't decide between these two so I'll put them both. Katatonia especially the viva empress album, they don't have a single bad song, every ones a hit. And Gardenian, lyrics might suck, but the incredible music more then makes up for it. Really cool how they brough in some guest singer for almost each of their songs on soulburner.
  13. I need to get a giant hard drive cause I get lost switching mine.This PC has a 160gb hdd and a 80gb hdd = 240I got external hdds, 160gb and 200bg = 360So thats 600gbs, over half a tb. About 400 of that is full.
  14. There are bad milks and there are good milks.The bad milks are those that are pumped from hormone induced cows where the hormones seep into you slowly and can cause weird hair coming out and stuff.The good milk comes from organice non homrone. Beyond the usual vitamins and keeping bones strong, milk soothes alergies and some natural bacteria are beneficial for your stomach.I used to drink only milk when I was a boy. I strongly think thats where I got my 6'1" size and large rib bones which are good for fighting. But I used to drink hormone reduced fat milk and it made me hairy, so I started on organic and only drink a glass a day and I'm no longer hairy.
  15. hellRaiser is totaly right, I personally hate it when girls don't tell you outright no, cause carrying the notion is like asking the guy to flirt more. It's an invitation, and sounds the same whether the girl likes you or not. Saying no puts things in concrete perspective and the guy can move on to his next target. We men are persistant folk.
  16. Thats a little bit creepy keeping the cat in her freezer, even if it is for a good purpose in case scientists want to study it. The article said that the disease forms a single eye where the nose should be. Does that mean it can see through it? Shouldn't there be nose nerves not eye nerves in there or something. Poor kitty died in a day, at least it was saved the pain of struggling to live like that. This stuff could have happen to humans, maybe thats where we got the cyclops from.
  17. The game was really something unique and very refreshing. It kept me entertained throughout, not a single bad aspect, so I definatly can't wait for the sequal.What did you make sora in your game, I had mine pick strenght for my main attribute and give up magic. He ripped up the last boss like it was nothing, shouldn't hae done all those miniquests, would have been fun to fight a very hard boss. I think it had 7 stages, I had to count, probobly took me half an hour with my over powered guys.
  18. IMHO a geek is someone whose computer life influences his normal life. He begins to say OMG instead of oh my god or noob when someone makes a mistake in actual real time. However for most people I bet a geek is anyone who dwells in images, web pages, and programing.Most geeks I know spend as much time socializing as everyone else, they just act different.
  19. Well maybe not remotely, but IPB is someone else's property and they are in full right to demand and force a connection for any statistic. I've never hosted a forum so I'm not sure. But you are right, there are a few inconsistencies, even though I stick to my theory because most people work. For example especially in low numbers the number is usualy represented in tens, such as 10, 40, 110, without single degits. I have no proof but some of the odd numbers like low for a large city and high for a little city might occur when people type in city and state, or just city or just state. It's imposible to tell how they wrote the algorithm, and it's probobly encapsulated so hosting an IPB forum won't answer. If someones willing to change their location to "Internet" like I changed mine to test if they do change the numbers if we are the same. For reference my "Earth" location had the number 7045 which still appears.
  20. Took me a while of searching through Xisto's ids to finally figure it out. IPB forums are remote hosted I presume and that number is a measure of how many people are from the same place as you. It can't be just local Xisto because some people have numbers over 50000. If you look at people with weird locations, their numbers are usualy very low, with the weirdest having 0. Meanwhile real places especially vague like countries or states have high numbers. As a test I changed my location from Earth to Interenet, my number hasn't changed, but it probobly has a specific time for update. However the final proof of evidence was that everyone, without exception, without a location has the exact same number: 67864.
  21. Getting a broad spectrum of knowledge has helped me decide what I want to do, and the useless information also helps people know what they do not want to do later on. I think the reason Standardize Testing has taken such a negative oppinion with Americans is the poor quality of the educational system. Standardized Testing is just the wrong approach at the wrong time.Also, I've had weird information become very usefull when dealing with other people where conversation can turn into all kinds of topics. It's made me smarter in any situation by giving me different view points. As a side effect people see you as smart when you have an answer to all small curiosities.
  22. Since everyone wants you to do the right thing I'll represent the other side, the dark sidel. Blackmail Maddie and Brit, and you can make them do stuff they normally wouldn't for your pleasure. In addition, make sure you get other people for peer pressure, it'll help get better results. And don't worry about them defacing school property. It's your mom and dad's money, not yours. And what problem is their rampant destruction to you when you'll be out of school by the time they spend money to fix the bus. Your kid will pay, not you, when he has to go to worn down schools surrounded by kids like Maddie and Brit cause no one wanted to tell them they are wrong. So go ahead, sit quiet, and may the devil keep his hold over you strong.
  23. https://www.nrdc.org/issues/minimize-harm-and-security-risks-nuclear-energy It's a bit disturbing the U.S. has so many weapons it can't even keep them all inside itself. They are practicly inviting terrorists to steal them from bases on foreign ground where they probobly can't defend themselves without stricking an international incident. It shines some light on why some countries don't want to give up nuclear weapons or want some of their own when they have a nuclear weapon pointed at them right from their own backyard.
  24. I don't see why everyone focuses on China and USA when talking about nuclear weapons. Both countries are way more civilized then 99% of third world countries. In addition, using nrdc tables, USA has droped from 30k nukes in 1965 to only 10k in 2002 estimate. In fact, China, Russia, UK and France all have less nukes then they did a few years back. I'm more worried about small wars. Maybe Pakistan starts a war with India and launches its estimated 15-25 nuclear weapons and India retaliates with its estimated 25-125 nuclear weapons. China might panic having nuclear weapons flying below it's throat and launch some more leading to a chain reaction. We'll probobly see the best fireworks ever, however you'd probobly need filters so you don't go blind.Just to throw it in Canada produces most of the world's uranium.
  25. My favorite FF8 was really smoothly done, and if you didn't use cheap tricks like stocking up hundreds in the start, it was actualy hard unlike other FFs, well the bosses at least. I still remember dieing 10 times trying to get Diablos from his lamp and then getting stuck at ultimace's castle when I picked the wrong ability, had to return to a previous save outside it, cost me hours.FFX was also really fun but way too easy and the harder quests were too hard to find without a guide and I like playing FFs without guides.FF7 had the best characters and lines, FFX-2 once past the girlish theme was also fun but easy. FF9 just never got my attention and I quit after disc 1.I'm looking forward to FFXII, but the screenshots look alot like FFX but with more emotion....
