I'm very comfortable with the keyboard. From a gamers view there is one flaw, from the left, the "ctrl" key comes after the "fn". On linux I can use the "fn" as "ctrl", so this flaw is limited to windows. (i.e. who cares)

About wine; it is not a windows emulator. *shoots Mo death* It is an extra layer between the application and the system. Layers for the sake of compatibility exist in windows too, in all shapes and colours. If a program runs with wine and how, highly depends on the application and the user configuring everything. In my case it is unreasonable to use windows for anything aside from supreme commander.

I got me a T61p and configured a gentoo on it.

Words just aren't enough to describe this awesome combination.

I can't resist, I want to troll too and I just have to post what's going trough my head while reading posts in here.

 Let me start with linking a post: [snapback]38061[/snapback] . I still remeber the whole context well.
And then with pulling something out of its context. My eyes just fell on it when viewing a post here.

Other times, I'll play games WITH my fiance, and that's a common sight as well.

I was already thinking "too much information" while viewing the post. Then you get this:

Other times, I'll play games WITH my fiance

So you do play "games" without your fiance too?

and that's a common sight as well.

All that a "common sight"? (public, middle of the street?)

From: In the Shadows of HeLL

In "the Shadows of HeLL", right? I'll go to heaven if I can.



*Little prayer for forgiveness about my dirty mind.* (-NOT-, but I need a ticket)



Sugar gliders -> Discovery channel?
And then I have a song of the Bloodhound Gang going on in my head.

I have to give HellMasterHell credit for entertaining me.

Most of the time it is possible to set the false information aside from the correct one. Without having to go trough the whole process of proofing everything yourself. Being capable to do this is a requirement before you can do any research.

And no matter what someone says, Einstein's theories do not belong in a context about false information. The results of his research are clearly visible in our world. His work wasn't completed and can be improved, that is as far as you can go.

There are cases where death is partly caused by a lack of regeneration. But I think you have the wrong idea if you think there's a magic key to prevent aging in encouraging cell reproduction. How more divisions, how bigger the chance on bad mutations. Cancer for example, is nothing but bad or uncontrolled cell division caused by mutations. Also, if you for example take good care of your skin. Then less divisions will happen cause there is less damage. But taking good care of your skin would make it age faster? I highly doubt it.

So any help is appreciated. =)

Guess they didn't look that hard anymore.

No idea. Just take it as a fact. You should be able to find episode 144 now anyway.

I know nothing about farming myself. (online single player game, isn't it sad )

Anyway, guildmembers told me that they not really bother anymore.

I was just confused.  "Hydrogen out of gas"? Well Hydrogen is a gas so that's a little confusing.

I ment this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas ; lots of hydrogen in it.

And why I doubt the article ... I'll give it a quick shot, using basic knowledge of chemistry:

No matter how people do it, to get H out water you need to break the H-O bounds, and that requires a lot of energy. (I'll go out from a ideal and impossible 100% efficient methode to break it. That's better than whatever the article possible can be.) You gain the energy back when you create the H-O bounds again, but as with everything, you lose energy in the process (as heat for example). Even this way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell , you'll lose quite a bit and it's more efficient than burning the hydrogen. There's just no way energy can be gained as described in the article. To gain energy, you'll have to use the hydrogen for fusion. But that's not buring, it isn't a chemical reaction to start with.

On the side, but on topic: One of the reasons petroleum is so awesome, is because it's childs play to get energy from it. The C-H bounds are relative easy to break by burning it (burn means recombine with O), creating H-O and C=O, especially C=O gives a lot of energy in the creation, and requires exactly the same amount of energy to break it. That's why CO2[/span] is one of the most stable molecules there exist, and why we're stuck with so much CO[span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']2[/span] in the atmosphere. It's also why photosynthesis is so awesome. And why hydrogen alone isn't going to make your car drive like it's doing with petroleum products. Hydrogen alone can't hold as much energy as your fuel made by distillation of petroleum. Even our body likes to make CO[span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']2 to power itself. (and hydrogen definitely can't be used to make many of the synthetic materials comming from pertoleum, finding another energy source is just one of the problems we face)

Feel free to kill me if you can point out a real error in my thinking here.

Serial Experiments Lain and Haibane Renmei seem like fun, judging from your little reviews there. I'm going to check them out if they aren't licensed yet on AnimeEDEN.

[snapback]37491[/snapback]

Maybe I misinterpret. "watching Lain" -> "fun ?"

Nobody knows what is fun and why it is fun for me.

Not like it matters, or is it?

You understand?

It's perhaps a better little review of it.

Some anime I've seen:

Serial Experiments Lain
Last Exile
Now and Then, Here and There
Haibane Renmei[/li]

Just listing those is pain wrong without giving a bit information on each:

Serial Experiments Lain; 13 episodes. I'd describe this as "weird", it's some cyberpunk, psychological and sience fiction anime that makes you think. It aired between July 6 1998 and September 28 1998 and deals with topics like the definition of reality, what God is, networked society (player killing, friends online vs. offline, etc). There are long scenes featuring unusual camera work, and scenes with little or no dialogue. Nice battles, action, fanservice and lovely couples isn't what you'll see. If this all doesn't scare you away or even sounds interesting, you may want to try it. I completly love the show.

Last Exile (26 episodes) is some steampunk, sience fiction and andventure anime. It aired between April 8 2003 and September 29 2003 and revolves around a young courier pilot, his navigator and vanship (some wingless aircraft). It has some nice looking battles, featuring a rather unique mix of elements; musketeers, flying battleships and vanships. Sometimes the action with those vanships gave me a "starwars deja vu". Although people die here and there (and sometimes it really feels a bit random), there's like no adult content, romance or fanservice. If you're looking for some nice clean entertaining show, that isn't too predictable, having a rather unique setting, this may be it. Just don't get scared away by the opening song, the ending song will compensate for it.

Now and Then, Here and There; 13 episodes. It's some Military, Sience Fiction anime that focuses on what happens in war times. Aired from October 14 1999 to January 20 2000. The first episode starts off as if this is just another anime using the standard and overused themes, having a brat as main character, fighting at school for a girl with an opponent who's better than himself. In episode 2, that brat gets dropped into a completly different world, where water is rare. The world also features a crazy guy that happens to lead a faction and a girl with the power to make water. With those 2 things driving the plot, many different people are show, catched in a war, doing "wrong" things, each for his/her own reasons/ideas. Realistic reasons/ideas, leading to -wrong- actions, including actions that often are condsidered taboo. It's a bit as if some fight-happy "Naruto" or "Ichigo Kurosaki" gets dropped in some sick wrong war where they aren't the powerfull and get to see why fighting isn't as cool as most media shows. If you don't want to be confronted with certain wrong/sick things, stay far far away from this anime.

Haibane Renmei; 13 episodes. Slice of life fantasy anime. Aired between 9 October 2002 and 18 December 2002. Most anime from this type start off with some school scenario, a love triangle and some supernatural stuff to spice up things. First you get to see here is a bunch of "orphan-angel-looking-girls with too-small-wings-to-fly" cause the character designer found it pretty (including halo above their head). You also get a 100% lack of fanservice, romance, violence, speed and fighting. But if the previous sentences don't scare you away, and if you can stand slice of life, then you'll want to watch this piece of art. If you get past the first 4 episodes, you'll be hooked up on it. Because it gets better and better.


Maybe I'll add some later, if I got nothing to do.
