Re: Science question.

The biggest issue with most faster than light drives is that faster than light travel is interchangeable with time travel. You can't have one without the other. This wouldn't be time travel in a classical sense necessarily but it would allow you to see events which had not yet happened but whose out...

In Australia there are two kinds of home loans I am aware of: Fixed rate and Variable Rate. Variable Rate loans are the more common and work exactly as DDL described. The Reserve Bank of Australia looks at the current state of the economy (which has a correlation with inflation) and sets their inter...

Re: Why is 'WOW' referenced?

Also the EULA for the SDK indicates that everything produced using it is owned by Eidos so even if it was comercialized, no one who worked on it would make any money.

Re: Question about damage in Deus Ex

not sure if this has been covered already but if memory serves all it takes to knock someone out is to drop their health to zero using a non-lethal attach. This means you could shoot them in the head until they had one health left and then baton them in the leg to do the remaining 1 damage. This wou...

Re: Slow down!

I'm fairly sure that the keybindings actually specify the amount of forward velocity to add when you hold w. If you configure that (dont recall which ini its in) you could probably slow yourself down). I think the default was 120. I'm not sure if this dictates your maximum velocity or your accelerat...

Re: How can I convert flv to mp4/mp3/wmv/ or rip audio it?

virtualdub is a good video converter. Unfortunately like many open source projects its user interface is very daunting (which is actually true of a lot of video conversion software)

Re: Warren Spector farts hot air out of his mouth

"a flawed gem for having an interesting hook handled terribly" actually describes Day Z amazingly well in my opinion. Great idea, horrible game.

Re: OTP Headquarters

I only check the forums about once a year. Unlike someone who takes less than 24 hours to criticize. Yes I realize my replying indicates I would have to have checked the forum twice in one day breaking my annual visit rule.

Re: System Shock 2 2.4 - It's real, and it's awesome.

I wouldn't bother with SS2 coop with more than 2 people. I've played it through with 2 people twice but the maps are really designed for one person.

Re: Help me understand how it is that the Earth spins

oh sure. Have a physics question so ask the biochemist :P. As for the ant on the rock: It's important to keep in mind that the rock (earth) is an accelerating frame of reference. In order to remain the same distance from the center while spinning about the center you are actually accelerating toward...
