While I disagree with piracy, I do sort of like the idea that if I feel cheated by someone, I can always get my payback. For example, Spore was terrible, pure and simple. The demo was no indication. The over-hyping bordered on fraudulent advertising. The cost of the creepy and cute pack was like salt in a wound. If I "steal" the galactic adventures expansion, to me that is like getting my money's worth belatedly (assuming the expansion actually includes a game). And ultimately,

Foreign economies with a lot of room for improvement improve fast. Then they do not improve so fast. No communist country will surpass us as long as it remains communist.

Wanna see a really cool perspective? I did some digging and came to someone who resembles my own viewpoint... the smartest man in the country, of course. http://www.ctmu.org/

Nah, I changed my mind. Blizzard only messed up once, with Warcraft III, and that is because they tried to do something that just does not work... like communism. I feel they still accomplished all their goals with the game. It just was not fun. Hence the popularity of DotA. The rules of the game changed so that it could be fun. I think Blizzard will make a really fun and well-designed game, but I still look forward to sins's sequel. I hope they take a couple from Blizzard's book.

[quote]For everyone who says that evolution is a theory I must ask, do you mean macro or micro? At the microbiological level it has been proven. For those of you who DONT believe in fossil proof at the MACRO level it is still a theory. I for one believe in fossil proof.[/quote] Interesting you should bring up the difference between MACROevolution and MICROevolution. This is a key point that I think people are missing. Macroevolution adds the assumption that microevolution eventually amo

[quote]I'd steer away from the rock-paper-scissors balance and go for more unique factions. A TEC player shouldn't be able to win the game with the Advent by using similar (or in cases, the exact same) strategies. You know you get it right when players who do well with one race find the other races horribly confusing. Makes for much better balance arguments too[/quote] I agree. That is a great ideal. Unfortunately, balancing a game in that way requires a tremendous amount of time and ef

Intelligent design coincidentally forms the basis for the docrine of most popular religons. The hypothesis itself, while arguably untestable and therefore unscientific, can be defended. I might say that the hypothesis is indeed testible, only humanity severely lacks the capacity to test it. When the idea becomes more than what should be mentioned in a science class is when people put ID into their [I]religion's[/I] wagon. "See, ID might be true.

Meh, whatever. You don't need to be smart to be a surgeon, and every surgeon starts somewhere. Note that it helps to be raised differently (like that surgeon or the 15 year old in college). How much did [I]you[/I] learn from high school, anyway? That's what I thought.

Maybe I'm gay (this might be a bigger suprise to me than it would be to some of my more sarcastic opponents), but I do not think that girls are that much different. They do not play RTS's because we do not make them like we should.

I bought Warcraft III on the first day it came out. I even got a cool action figure. But I really did not enjoy the game. It required far too much micromanagment, and I missed being able to amass knights and ultralisks. I built like 2 knights, and I reached "high upkeep" and "pop limit." In my opinion, Stardock is the wave of the future. While Blizz wastes its time giving people something they don't want, fewer units and more chances to screw up for stupid I-clicked-it-wrong reas

If the adjacent planets are lavas or ices, then build two econ labs to get the tech to colonize them. 11. If you think you will be rushed, or someone will get to you before you can get to that third planet, build the three military labs to get illums. Disciples are garbage against a human

Build a huge fleet, then build jump inhibitors. I find this is the best defense. Do not build hangers. Instead, build a few turrets around the jump inhibitors (1 or 2). These punish your opponent for wasting his time destroying one before you decimate his fleet anyway with your awesome superior firepower.

Evolution can be defined as a change in alleic frequencies within a population over time. Thus, considering a small population of 100 sins players, we have two alleles, A and a . The allele A codes for a phenotype, something you can observe, and so does allele a. Since humans, like sins players, are diploid, meaning they have 2 of each chromosome, humans can have two alleles for a particular tra

You're a white moth living in a birch forest. What do you figure your odds of being seen by a bird are?

Common sense says eh? what if they just got et?

[quote]Plus, in order for evolution to NOT occur, you need a population with identical genetics, no crossing over, entirely random mating, and absolutely no environmental pressures. IT HAS TO BE OCCURING! For those of you who understand the mechanics of evolution then you know why this is true. Evolution is not a vague mechanism, it is real, defined, and logical.[/quote] Actually, a population with identical genetics and no mutation would disallow evolution. Random mating and environmen
