    Developers, sysadmins and network managers don't generally get overtime.

    More complexity that certain people can't understand and will use to justify their nonsense? What's to dislike?

    But what you get the demerits for is usually a lot of fun...

    You should stay on topic or start a different thread then :P

    Since you've been trying to bait me, I think evading your question neatly proves my point.

    LOL. So only people with degrees know anything about psychology? Except even they don't.

    You should have stopped when you were behind.

    [What does psych 101 have to say about that one?]
    You're an attention ho.
  10. *shrug*

    I had this problem initially, but a reboot cleared things up. But I'm sure y'all have tried that already...

    All actions reveal something about the actor, that's psych 101.

    What a person labels an object reveals something about the way that person views the object.

    All the rest is extrapolation.

    I have always heard Caesar pronounced SEE-zer, although Kaiser, the German equivalent, does have the long I instead of the long E sound, as well as the hard K.

    Regarding the OP, my money is on PrayTORia, since that is how I keep hearing the name pronounced with reference to South Africa. Who knows, maybe this is the issue that sparked the Resistance into open revolt.
    You need to keep in mind the distinction between Roman pronunciation of Latin words and English pronunciation of Latin words.
  13. Right now there's no evidence that SHAVAM's can be used to buy things that RM's can buy though. Only purples were mentioned.

    Because it was necessary to distinguish it from the thousands of non-video documentaries?

    And it's also an unnecessary hijack of the term 'documentary'. Aren't documentaries supposed to be fact-based and relatively unbiased? While the ViDocs are cool, they are basically ads.

    Not going to find too many countries that didn't commit some such atrocities. You could object to all the Roman references on that basis.
  17. Sheesh guys, he said his facts were indisputable! How can you all be here disputing them?

    Especially since it's of no importance whatsoever. You call your dollies what you want and I'll call mine what I want.
    It's not of no importance. Actually, the term people use reveals something about their attitudes towards the game.

    There was some speculation that you needed HAM/VAMs to purchase stuff for the Incarnate system.
  20. They announced that the servers would be down, but they didn't know that it would also take down authentication for the forums. So no, it wasn't really announced ahead of time.

    Nope. You don't get to define what other people see as appropriate.
  22. I used to build my own, until my spare time became more valuable than putting the components together

    I've tried a couple of vendors, if you look for online reviews, you'll see a mixed bag for almost any builder, because satisfied customers are much less likely to put anything up. Personally, I've been going with cyperpowerpc lately, they have pretty exhaustive list of options on their configurator, and their tech folks usually know what they're talking about.
  23. You should edit your message immediately - don't put account names on the forum.

    ----Edit: Mod12 has superspeed...

    Also, it might still be DNS, if you know how, you should flush your DNS cache. It sounds like NC may have actually moved servers around.

    If you still can't log in, you might want to file a support ticket.
  24. For those who missed the news, HAMs and VAMs are apparently used to buy purple recipes. Which is a curious choice considering that purples can't be used until 47, but presumably you can accumulate HAMs and VAMs starting at 20.

    Perhaps this is a clue that it'll take longer to get enough to buy a purple recipe than it takes to get from 20 to 47.
