  1. Cool things that I understand about the places mentioned in this thread so far:

    Poland

    POLA0001.GIF

    Has the single simplest cool flag out of any nation, followed closely by Greenland. Libya tries too hard and ends up being pretentious.

    Pennsylvania

    Has the Pennsylvania Railroad, which developed some of the coolest trains that ever existed. That's a PRR T1.

    Texas

    One word: NASA

  2. Philosophical Question that I got stuck on after reviewing this topic.

     

    What is more important?

     

    Knowledge or Happiness.

    I think a more prevalent question is

     

    "Which should be a higher objective in life?

     

    Truth or Happiness"

     

    To which I answer "Either you will try to find happiness and you'll never find it, or you seek truth and you'll get both."

    As Douglas Adams once said "What is fame but an empty bubble, what is gold but a translucent trouble." Fame, prestige, power, money, all are usually sought as means to have happiness but in the end they're still just inanimate things. Then one might pursue love to be their objective to be happiness, or maybe a really kickass career. But what if that loved one dies or the job is lost? Then your source of happiness goes away.

    But if you find a truth which gives ultimate meaning and purpose to your life, then, well, then you have that. Happiness is just a bonus.

  3. Did you know that Autodesk owns all other major commercial 3D software franchises?

    Did you know that it doesn't really make sense to you, you only think it does.

    Just like how you think "I think" [i know what it means].

    The logic which you use to question my logic is questionable.

  4. Anyway, but I can tell you that the majority of the population DID not approve with him but lived with the hard times and waited for him to die.

    But what if it comes to pass that the regime carries on unchanged for more than one generation? a society might get used to it as the norm if it's isolated enough, and that may be what's occurring to North Korea now for all we know. I mean, seriously, their Eternal President has been dead for 17 years.

  5. Did you know that this is how character lighting works in TF2?

    (That's only about half of the discourse on that equation, but you get the idea.)

    Did you know that it all makes sense to me?

    It all makes much more sense if said this way:

    And knowing is half the battle.

  6. I have a great many video games. A great many of them are also made by Valve.

    But who can complain with the fact that Valve has a reputation for making well-crafted games?

  7. You're not a real man if you can't go through 10 minutes of nyan

     

    i had my volume on full blast once and it felt like i had a bomb in my head

     

    edit: and it was 1 minute.

    You're not a man if you can't hold yourself accountable by emotionally, spiritually and physically health amongst other men (such as friends).

  8. Gasses that are heavier than water will not sink or generate downward bubbles because even though they displace more mass, all gasses have densities lower than liquids.

    Did you know that Blue is incorrect and presumptuous?

    Did you know that you're a fine one to talk when you discredit the entire Adobe team for a lark.

  9. I've been hearing several people saying that Casey Anthony may become wealthy due to things like writing a book, making a movie, etc. Somebody please tell me this isn't true.

    United States doesn't have the same news correspondence issues that Britain does (namely, in regards to source citation) but does have different issues (consequent publicity and cash-in industry).

  10. I don't mind the F2P+MicroTrans model, but it really decreases the average capability and game-fluency of players. That is unless they're ranked according to play time, which is a system that's relatively analogous to how Battlefield Heroes works.

  11. Good teleporters:

    Are pointed in such a way that a teleported player can simply walk in a straight line forwards to where the action is

    Has a clear line of sight or at least visual keys to inform the player where they are in the map

    Is either far ahead or near behind the front line so that it can quickly introduce reinforcements into the fray, but not in a way that imperils that player immediately, or the teleporter itself

    Has multiple exit options in the local area where the teleporter exit is

    Is located where it's hard to access for opponents, especially spies, but easy to access for teammates
