The Identity Disc of Kevin Flynn is special because... he came from the real world, thus having data from an actual person? -
Congrats Shad and Pix.

Gotcha. Thanks for the responses guys. I have a laptop already but it's old and falling apart, so I was looking for something easier to carry around, newer, and could just do the basics for school. I would assume the Galaxy Tab is kind of in the same boat?
No, an ultra light would suit your needs better. -

Easy. VERY tightly integrated OS and hardware platform. It allows them to squeeze the utmost in battery life out while giving the appearance of high performance (essentially the UI is tweaked so that certain functions are heavily prioritized).
You simply CANNOT do this with a Windows machine, as Windows is an actual commodity OS that's designed to run on just about any hardware you can throw its way. As such, hardware support is more generalized and less effective in this arena. -
I agree with everything but the "Writing was solid"
WHAT THE HELL WAS THE FILM ACTUALLY ABOUT?
There were lots of diffrent elements to it, but I never really got an actual plot that joined everything together. -
"Must have" and "Blue ray" are mutually exclusive.

Erm, yes and no. I just re-searched and sure enough Snow Crash was the only one to pop up. But when I clicked the back button I got Anathem, The Baroque Cycle and Cryptonomicon listed as well.
Aaah, I see. They're region locked and Snow Crash is the only one available in Europe for some reason (boo)

Quote:If you've not read Foucault's Pendulum also by Umberto Eco do, it's very good if again a slow read.Originally Posted by Smersh
Just finished reading The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. Excellent, though by no means a quick read - I found myself chewing on the details quite a bit, though in a good way.
Before that, I'd read the first five Amber novels, and I'm now working on the second half. I'd previously only made it up to the eighth novel - this time I have Knight of Shadows and Prince of Chaos ready to go, so I'll finally have the whole series. -
Just been reading some Robin Hobb books, blech, she has a horrible tendency to stall the hell out of the story then rush to the end.
read "Best served cold" by Joe Abercrombie, after the exelent first law trilogy this was a horrible disapointment really. Still better than Robin Hobb though. -
A lot more, since people are getting what they want from just running it, never mind even compleating it so it is a lot more good humored and laid back.

More I19 feelings forthcoming. Ahem.
A week or so ago I unlocked the Alpha Slot on my electric/ice tanker. No problems getting through the arc. Today I finally got around to doing a respec on him to take advantage of inherent Fitness. Whee. Then I decided to run a couple of missions - the last two in the revamped Hero's Epic - to see if I could get lucky with some shards.
I didn't. But that's not why I'm posting.
The main thing I noticed was, my tanker after unlocking the Alpha slot plays just like my tanker prior to unlocking the slot. Which isn't slotted yet, as I only have the one shard. Which I guess means the Alpha Slot, unslotted, does nothing. Right?
I mean, if you take, say, Quick Recovery, it does something for you even before you slot it.
Shouldn't the Alpha slot, even unslotted, do something to let you know, "Hey! I'm an Incarnate now! Well... sorta. Kinda. Almost. Maybe."
Or does it do something and I just didn't notice? My tanker didn't seem any tougher. His enemies didn't seem to fall any faster (yawn/Dominatrix/yawn). His powers didn't seem to recharge any faster. He still ran out of endurance if I forgot to fire off Power Sink every now and again.
So... Alpha what?
Mostly because you unlock it then pick what it does. rather than trying to make a one size fits all solution.
For my own part, it gives me a tingly feeling in my pants. -
For the Op, yes it's a mess, when isn't the story in this game a mess?

Quote:No see it's random, just because you didn't get as meny as some one else does not mean it's "unfair" it's random.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
I have to agree with at least this part, since so far from what I have seen the most shards go to the person on the team who is doing the LEAST.
One person - and a person doing almost nothing, to boot - should NOT get the lion's share of shards on any given TF. Sorry, that's how I see it.
One player collecting all the loot on a team is the furthest thing from "random" in my book. -
Yeah.
More comedy gold from the people that brought you "Incarnate System: an insult to Skilled players" -
This thread is comedy gold!
Thank you all. -

Now I am back in game, would be happy to run this too.

Quote:That's what you saw in SG and SG:A? wow... all I saw was a lot of badly strung together Deus Ex Machinas... no wonder you liked it.Originally Posted by Jet_Boy
Did you hear? It's not Skiffy killing SG:U it... well "US" acordingin to James Rundle: http://www.scifinow.co.uk/news/opini...hing-universe/
See... it's all our fault for liking the past show's fun brain-candy escapist approach (and approach that kept the show going strong for 10 years, and only stopped because they Skiffy got the award and then canceled it.) instead of the new direction into the lost hopelessness-ness of the darkness of the agony of the souls of the doomed, struggling, horny novice crew?
How could we possibly like the upbeat, slightly pulpish, optimistic casts of SG:1 and SG:A more than such a panoply of such eyerollingly damaged, caustic, back-biting, untrustworthy, immature, banal, and thoroughly uninteresting manikins of the Destiny?
Who needs, super-science doodad equipped, technobabbley, tongue-n-cheek snark-powered daring-do adventure on alien vistas when we've go a ship full of... well, ship. Oh... and maybe another ship. And a deserted planet here and there.
See... it's all our fault. 8P -
Yes, it's awesome.

Quote:Wasn't Paragon also the epicentre for the invasion?Originally Posted by FloatingFatMan
The Rikti caused massive damage to a large amount of the world during the first Rikti war; only Paragon had sufficient density of heroes to fight them off, and even that suffered heavy damage and massive losses.
I think it's quite reasonable to assume that Japan (along with a lot of other places), got hammered.
I had read it as while the rest of the world did get seriously attacked, it was only the other half of the force that attacked Paragon. -
