*Taking Notes* How to look insanely attractive to the female species.... 01. Grab Razor and Apply to head in one over-the-top manic procedure that leaves you standing in what looks like the cats malting spot 02. Go to the Military Surplus store and buy an incredibly tight set of fatigues... that cling to the bulging muscles I don't have 03. Get a license to buy the biggest F###ing gun I can find 04. Buy pair of Oakleys Sun
Why do you think there are such things as 'love letters' and the like... Because love can turn our tongues all buttery and we can say it so much nicer (or plagiarise!) in a letter or poem. Sometimes it doesn't even need the emotion mixing, cocktail of love, to tie up our tongues (try saying that out loud really fast..) we either think of the wity reply 1.5 seconds to late for it to be useful, or what sounded so good in our heads, loses something in tra
Some of the most fulfilled, inspired, energetic and wise women I know, are those who have raised children and kept house for there husbands. In later life, after there children have grown and they have more time to spend in other pursuits, these women are the ones who, having been tempered and refined in the fires of family life, having had to sacrifice personal ambition for the sake of children (and husbands) now have the grace and maturity to have a
No, I don't think malpractice suits would be solely responsible for understaffing either Kingbee... but they could be another contributing factor to the situation. To be honest, I am not familiar with the situation in America in regards to Healthcare. You are correct Kingbee in that we have national health care here. Watching movies like John Q, and reading articles and documentaries like this is about as far as the exposure goes. To be hones
When you are the first child, all the toys are yours until a sibling is born. The first child has the chance to gradually learn the principles of sharing and being generous, they have a chance to learn the easy way (over time) not to be selfish. The second child already has an older sibling, consequently there are toys that aren't his to play with, that don't belong to him. the second child has to learn at an early age to share and not to be selfish...
An interesting comment Psuedo Student.... In New Zealand we have a public health care system that is free to all, it is also a fairly good system the majority of the time. The only unfortunate product of a free system is the large waiting lists for the more involved surgeries. It is very rare in New Zealand to use lawsuits as a weapon against the system. I don't know whether this is just a cultural thing, or if there really is less 'cause'
*grin* 'Me-ism'... it reminds me of a concept I was taught as a young fella called 'I-Itis'... It seemed that alot of people came down with a case of this 'I-Itis', where most sentances began with an 'I'... I am, I have, I want, I need, I think, I wish, I know, I will It would seem that some people grow out of 'I-Itis' at an early age... learning that in the starkness of reality, there is no room made for those who suffer from this af
I find it interesting that the edification of others is the final step in the process, sure it sounds great, helping others achieve there potential in turn. However if each of the steps can only be reached by mastering the step below it, then that means by Maslows reckoning that we have the right to be completely selfish beings until we reach a point of selfishness so advanced that we cannot think any more highly of ourselves without first helping othe

I agree Too.... (Bump)
was reading the birth section of the newspaper a couple of years back when I came across one unfortunate whose parents (the Williams) had named him 'William William' Who knows if William William Williams (WWW) will become as well known as his Big Brother Supercomputer...
I think the point here is in the title of these shows... 'reality' TV is far from reality. Yet if I spoke another language, and had never come across the concept (I guess it is a colloquialism) then I would be forced to interpret this type of show as portaying the 'reality' of Western (i.e. American) life. As a westerner I don't really quite understand the attraction of reality TV. Whether it comes from some latent desire to see people hurt o
Thanks for the info Jake. I managed to get Disciples on the third try The pause button will be much appreciated, I second the opinion of earlier posters in that this has to be costing Stardock additional and unneccesary bandwidth with all the repeated downloading. Hope it all gets smoothed out... These are the early days, Stardock is stellar at listening a
Brad is on the right track.. I have and still do pirate some games and applications. For the majority I would NEVER have bought them in a store, because for the most part they were one week wonders at most and I will never play them again. I have bought two games recently. Those were GalCiv (recently upgraded to TotalGaming.Net) and Final Fantasy XI. Both games which I KNEW were good and worthwhile purchases. I live in the country and
I think the point is that it is the SYSTEM that needs to change. We are products of the system, both black and white. The Black 'minorities' are in the position they are today because of past prejudice and discrimination. In part, the system is setup almost as a form of reperation for past damages, a type of appeasement for harms done. The problem is this doesn't work. I know if I had a yummy sweet dangled in front of me as a child I would hav
Oh whoops... and Yeah, I meant to add a 'Thankyou', 'Well Done' and 'Keep It Up' to the general consensus
Yup, It's Official, Brad joins the short list of famous frogs.. We'll get back to this thread as usual after this special welcoming announcement from Kermit...
Take pride in what you and your team have accomplished Brad, Something that isn't worth taking down doesn't get belittled. You have grown your little niche market into a mainstream success, unfortunately some people feel that you have stepped on there toes in the process, there vision doesn't line up with your own.. on the bright side you ARE the one in control and the buck stops with you. You have defined what will be and how, and for the most part the majority in the community are happy to con
Some thoughts after having used SDC with the totalgaming network: 1. With the incorporation of large amounts of game data there needs to be some support for resuming and pausing downloads. 2. Having a way to limit the bandwidth that SDC uses to download (for long downloads like Disciples, other people need to use the bandwidth I am higging as well) 3. A listing of file sizes before beginning of download (this was t
It IS nice having the option of removing the banner yes. One thing though Stardock, is that I would still like to see the percentage of any current download at all times... With the Stardock banner removed so is the percentage bar and numerals. Also I notice that with the update the listing of the size (MB) of each of the games in totalgaming.net has disapeared. I don't know if this is by design or simply mistake. I liked knowing how large the download was BEFORE I clicked the install or archive
I think the thing to remember here is that, as Paxx said, the poll was taken because at heart Brad respects the WC community and his efforts and contributions are all in the effort of furthering that community. While WC is a Stardock website, it IS a community, and Stardock are a company who are known for listening to customers and users, in software support and in changes for the satisfaction of the end-user. If the poll had reflected that Brads editorials were not appreciated they would have s
I am having issues with the non-stardock large retail games, specifically Disciples II on totalgaming.net. Using SDCentral I can see the games there to download, and I can select them. They begin downloading, but once the download is complete, the game tries to install and comes up with an error. The same thing happens when I tried to archive the game straight from online. It downloaded the files, then SAID it had archived them, however the archive zip
Yeah, Poweruser bundle would make sense... I am very tempted right now, after buying my totalgaming package to renew my 12 month dead subscription to Object Desktop and get a Wincustomize subscription as well. Thinkdesk sounds great, and if it is anything like other Stardock packages, It would be a definite purchase at some point in the future.
Final Fantasy XI is my first MMORPG, as such I found myself both stunned, amazed, and in love with the concept of playing with REAL characters. As the original poster mentioned, the reality of the people factor CAN be less than fantasy, and sometimes very final. But just like the real world, I am amazed at the depth of character within humanity. Many of the people in Vana'Diel are amazingly generous and caring. It is unfortunate that in general the bad

I love this design... Unfortunately Version 3 (Expansions) has been there awhile (18 Months) I can't wait to see what the next redesign looks like.
