Yes, but I had a really boring SJ for THEO 001 when I took it.

Adam,
You can't possibly be serious about that comment. The Old Testament can never be boring! The 4 authors - J, P, E, and D - made certain that regardless of how a course is taught, the material.....*conversiation becomes inaudible for a while*.......and THAT IS WHY SETH IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BIBLICAL CHARACTERS second to Jacob. Now, Adam, don't you feel silly writing such obviously false statements on this forum?

@intrigue:

Theo 001 would have been a lot less boring if it would have been in LOLCAT.

ok, this might be too far, but it seems to have created a rosetta stone for lolcatz as a language.

This is really sad news if true. Ain't it Cool news is saying that Stan Winston has died!

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/37106

Stan Winston is the legendary practical special effects magician behind Aliens, Predator, Jurassic Park, Terminator, Iron Man, Galaxy Quest, Monster Squad, The Relic, and too many others to list. The man is a genuine film legend who mastery in creating creature effects is unrivaled.

I hope someone was playing a joke on AICN since so far no other media outlets have reported this.

If it is true, rest in peace, Stan Winston.

so for the lan party, i am trying to figure out how to get some space for all of these games that nearscape wants to play. my laptop only has 8gb of space left on a 160gb drive, and no, there are not any vids, mp3s, aacs or any media on my machine.

right now the break down is 80gb for linux and 80gb for windows xp.

one solution is to spend $250 on a 320gb drive and to ghost my linux install, and to grow my xp one. ;-(

another is to attempt to game in Wine 1.0 in linux for windows games.

yet another is to try to grow my xp image and strink my linux image.

after i back up i might start trying a few NO cost solutions.

Entertainment Weekly's list of the 17 greatest SCI-FI "misfires" in film history.

http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20205401,00.html

I'm not sure if the list was generated by the writer of the article or the whole EW staff, but someone obviously needs to be shot for putting Blade Runner and a couple of others on that list.

@CJOS, sweet find.

@nearscape, so someone has decided to carry the tribes torch. i am a little disappointed that there where not further advancements other than the graphics.

@crow, you know i really want to design a good game after getting my feet wet in WoW, Earth and Beyond, and the Matrix. If only I had free time.
