Huh?

Where exactly is it up? There is nothing on Youtube.

A normal 19 year old person is mature enough to participate in sexual activities. If a 19 year old is attracted to a 80 year old('s money) I can't really see any problems, it is just gross from my point of view.

What is the file system of the hard drive/partition that stores your Steam folder? You want it to be NTFS. If it is FAT32, try disable the in-game multi-threading. Although I have not bought or played Portal 2 I have read about this issue numerous times.

Not a big fan of Hugh Hefner huh?

And the problem is? I started around that age, maybe even earlier.

Girls. That's a hobby right there. It leads to sub-hobbies like masturbation and porn collecting.

Or are you?

I haven't heard from Black Mesa in two years now to be honest.

Sometimes you have to dig for news, not vice versa. Their website is still being updated with new media once in a while, and recently they announced the completion of the sound track. If you get the idea to register on their forum and be the thousandth newcomer to ask if the mod is dead or not, I'd advice against doing it.

Maybe it is a test!

You should feel good that your PC works normally after a powercut.

Just because you can not use his shoes gives you no right to throw them back at him with force. It accomplishes nothing at all to use ad hominems. They are lame.

And for the record it is quite possible that programming and computing will reach the potential to power an AI that can learn by itself.

You have to approach science with the right attitude. You can't say something can't be done. Everything is possible. Thanks to this state of mind a lot of amazing technology exists today. Time machines are impossible? I am ready to bet that some scientists refuse to accept that. A lot of things we accept today, including religious folk, had to swim against a vast stream of naysayers, for decades or even centuries.

Or am I?

Yes. The expansion of the universe has been observed. Whether the expansion is a perfect bubble, elliptic or imperfect like the surface of the earth I don't know but for something to expand at all there needs to be a starting force, and that is where the rather inadequate big bang theory comes in. If we go by this then the observable universe is only a part of the whole thing. If we imagine earth is 13 billion light years from the centre then there are 13 billion lightyears of space on the other side. This is not even taking into account the possibility/fact that the expansion is accelerating.

But then again the borders of the universe are not like the inner surface of a physical object, we are talking about the spacetime realm itself. If I could study and actually understand high level theoretical physics I could most likely fine tune my thoughts but this is what I got.

I get the feeling this situation is going to reach the point where Gaddafi gets captured and/or killed and we got a second case of Iraq on our hands. They already killed one of G's sons, iirc.

This is a place where you walk through the door and everyone magically knows you and your name. Introduction is futile.

Prayer is for a manual squeeze of serotonin. If you sincerely believed Santa was God and prayed to him you'd get the exact same effect. Human sensory and emotions are very easy to exploit.

The bible thumpers got their ass covered there: God's ways are unpredictable and we shouldn't question them.

And by the way, is infinity really any thing else than a mathematical playtoy used by people who want to cover up their inability to comprehend or discuss a difficult problem? I can not think of one thing that is proven to be infinite, in other words, not having a starting point but existing none the less. It makes no sense to me that some thing can exist for infinite amount of time, taking infinite amount of time to reach the current point of existence. As far as I know the best grip we have on infinity right now is to emulate it through the lim function. Any math nut feel free to correct and enlighten me.

I never used ICQ. I used to use MSN a long time ago, but stopped because the messenger is an eyesore and i don't like Microsoft/LIVE. Now i only use skype.

Never mind MSN/WLM/whatever the hell it is called now, ICQ versions 6 and above are easily the worst pieces of software I have had the displeasure of installing on my system. I'm so glad I found Miranda IM; a free, open-source, competently engineered multi-protocol messenger. ICQ, MSN, IRC, etc. all in one program that can be skinned and customized to hell and back, and on average uses less than 10 MBs of memory for that matter. And wait, there's more! Miranda IM does not install any registry keys at all, and you can control where it stores personal data, unlike most commercial software that treats the file system like a garbage bin and throws data randomly all over the place. Miranda IM is tidy, basically.

TL;DR? Miranda IM is awesome. Check it out.

The protocols themselves aren't so bad, but the default clients for them are garbage more often than not.

By the way, it would have been interesting to split Europe into two groups; eastern Europe and rest of Europe, because I believe eastern Europeans are ICQ nuts in general.

Note to self: No foruming less than 20 minutes after waking up.

You can change your polls in this forum, it will just force people to vote again who already voted.

I use both of them daily, so I can not really vote in this poll.

The game's technology is quite old, of course it has easy specs. I like the fact they detailed the internet activation thing, some publishers don't even put a fine print on their malware infected shit.

It is none of your business who votes what. People can have opinions different to yours.
