Too much TV. It has rotted your brain. Away to bed with you.

My Computer Needs Upgrades!

What do you recommend NG? Current Specs:

Intel Pentium 4 3.4GHz
1024MB Ram
Radeon x600 256MB graphics card

Hmm. Methinks this topic has become a bit of a farce.

Thanks for your replies all. I found a decent paid server, but im still going to try a few of your ideas.

Just for the hell of it =P

Heres a problem for you to mull over.

Im running a website from free hosing right now, and the way the pages get made is with an online HTML editor.

However, after you submit your code, the site automatically adds script to the top of the page putting tags like free hosting and suchlike.

Im wondering, is there any code that I could add into the bottom of my page code that would act as an ad killer and popup blocker?

Thanks in advance guys.

FREEZE MOTHER STICKERS!

THIS IS A FUCK UP!

In broad terms I think censorship is pretty outmoded these days. Very little is left that will shock anyone viewing the material. (Please note I dont consider a watershed censorship considering the material will be shown, just later on)

Granted, kids should be shielded from stuff like gratuitous porn, violence and whatnot, but they should be tucked up in bed by the time horny housewives 4 comes on!

WHO GIVES A SHIT?

Well said. Im through posting to this thread. It just gives militant atheists an excuse to bash religion without proper cause, and causes Bible types to go overly defensive.

Sniff you jerks later.

Why do you people encourage this ponce?

Was the destroyo guy posting spam? I couldnt tell wether it was indeed spam or just a poorly phrased, rambling attempt at legitimate arguments.

I mean Canadia? C'mon!

Not exactly subtle. Could you perchance createa scenario where the branding of 666 onto your left hand would be viewed as a good idea by the masses.

Seems bloody stupid to me!

Listen to Zac. He speaks wisdom. You do not.

Sorry. I should have been clearer. I guess I mean fills more than anything. I know I wont get photorealistic colours in flash, but I wanted something that gives off a feel of realism.

Hey all, hoping someone can give me a few pointers.

Im trying to make a flash animation wih a serious was scene in it. However my backgrounds all look really bland as one colour, and somehow wrong if I use a gradiant fill.

Im looking for something like the Fallen Angel Teaser backgrounds.

Any ideas or tips on how to get a background like that?

This is why we have to come up with a diffrent idea. What if we found a way of moveing it when it is close enough?

You wouldnt want to wait till its close enough to move it. The earlier you take action the less effort will be needed to alter it's course.

Did you also know that alcohal is soooo much worse for you that cannabis....

Not always. Its binge drinking thats the problem. Hitting your liver with so much shite at once damages it, but having a few every now and then is OK so long as youre not going to excesses. Your liver can regenerate over time so provided youre not fucking it up constantly then I dont see a problem.

Yet it's illegal....because of tax issues believe it or not. That's why, not because the government loves you....but because you can't tax an underground business. After all alcohal and tobacco have govermental origins...so it's cultural and legally bred into us. But cannabis....a late addition. Can not....so it can not be taxed. And is not profitable.....

Gasoline wasnt widely used at the time of the US gaining independance, but thats still taxed. Thats part of the call to make cannabis legal. If you legalise something, theres no call for it to be an underground business.

and I want an answer that isn't STD's or about religion

Fine. Although saying you want an answer that isnt about STD's is bloody stupid. Its a big factor. Theres an agerestriction on consensual sex because the younger you are the less likely you will be mentally mature enoughto grasp the full seriousness of sex.

Plus, theres the pregnancy issue. No contraception is 100% effective, so theres always a chance that the couple involved could end up with an unwanted child. Ignoring the fact that all pregnancies carry health risks, I think you can still appreciate why it's be a pretty bad idea to have even more teenage mothers around.

I had a look at the wikipedia article, saw that the aim of the Antifa and like minded groups is anarchy and switched off.
I dont understand why anyone in a first world country feels the need to be millitant. Fair enough repressed peoples under the yoke of a tyrant, but I dont think Bush or Blair quite fit that bill. Stupid and beligerent but hardly tyrranical.

How do I know? Why I'm simply gambling on the odds being heavily in my favor.

Now theres a thought. Odds. You could mortgage your house and car, take out loans and whatnot and bet it on the big F-off space rock to miss. If you loose you probably wont know about it! =D

Can anyone recomend a good .swf to .mpeg/.avi whatever converter.

I have a few animations that I want to convert to mp4s, but the geovid one I found is crap. Unless your framerate links perfectly with the set one, the animation skips. Any ideas?

In 92 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 19 people, and saved the world 4 times. What did you do today?

Think how many times he'll have saved the world by the time the asteroid gets here. Then he'll do it again! Cue ticking clock!

Please note the title of the show this was researched for is called BBC 2's Conspiracy Theories.

BBC two isnt actually the biggest of stations, and a show called conspiracy theories. Good strong case there.

Seems to me that a large proportion of the recent topics posted to the politics forum are jumping on the Anti America bandwagon.

We get it. You want to seem outraged, but in an area you know will be accepted.

Go post to one of the many "OMG AMERCASUXLOL" threads and leave some room for other topics.

unfortunatley blowing it up would probably cause more problems than it would solve.

lol...maybe, maybe not. I'm sure they'd find some insane physics formula that would tell them exactly how much exploseive material they need to put in the bomb, when they need to launch it, and what part of the asteroid to hit so it passes harmlessly by us.

I'm not at all worried about it. I have faith that the technology that is going to be developed over the next 30 years will be more than enough to avert a threat such as that.

Please note this post is hypothetical. Im not convinced by the big space rock comin atcha theory

Lots of posts centering on blowing up the asteroid, nothing on diverting it. Rather than blow it into lil bits still coming our way, why not land a series of propulsion devices on it? Booster rockets, solar kites and the like. Surely it wouldnt take much (if done at an early enough juncture) to shove it off course. Make it a definite miss rather than a probable miss.

Intriguing. What were the reasons?

As for the posters saying that the mark would be some advance in technology, how can god then justify casting everyone into the pit?

Say for example that X event happens and everyone in the world is brought onto a level pegging. (No world hunger, no war, basic human rights covered) So humanity turns it's attentions to the future. And to simplify things, a microchip that serves as your passport, drivers (pilots?) licence, healthcare card, debit card and biometric identifier is embedded under the skin on your left hand.

Not being seen as a mark as such, 99% of the world's population accepts and gets the chip. Come the rapture, 99% of people on the planet are sent to hell despite a life of good deeds and worship of God. Plus they are totally sorry for getting the chip!

So how can you square the fact that God says "I will forgive you if you are sorry for your sins" with being cast into the pit for eternity, just for doing what you had to to survive?

Well I have to say I looked at the site, and most of them seem more than a little blurry.

Its widely accepted that parts of the Bible were either exaggerated or fictionalised, and yes, no one disputes that it was written by humans that make mistakes.

But it also says in there "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

You never made a mistake before? Then you cant go around ripping on the Bible authors for it. Christians are free to choose their religion, so dont give me shit about the Bible lying to the masses.

Theres no call to take 100% of the Bible literally. All you really need to take from it is the basic principles, which is what most Christians do. The importance of family and being good to your fellow man and whatnot.

Stop being so firebrand atheist. What do you care if Christians "wasted their life"? They dont think so and Im inclined to agree. A church community, a healthy set of moral guidelines. (including Acceptance ) Why are you wasting your life slandering the beliefs of others?

Ask yourself that.
