[quote]Kudos to you then. It seems you are very good at what you do. Maybe you did manage to kill every bug in the code. But sometimes when everything seems perfect, bugs are actually hiding, since the conditions for them to show themselves have not been met. All I know is that every damn time I manage to fix something, a bug always finds a way to turn around and bite me in the ass... MONTHS after a release. I think it's the natural order of programming. But if you did somehow manage to creat

[quote] I am a programmer so I can tell you from experience. No matter how much testing you do, how many scenarios you prepare for you are NEVER going to put out a decent enough product on the first try. All you can hope for is, that if you plant the seed, with the help of constructive criticism it will blossom into something great. Anything other than that is pure fantasy.[/quote] As am I, and I disagree with you. Proper QA allows just for this. At my past jobs when we had the b

No no, he wasn't the john wheeler, but I believe he was a colleague of his at one point(I think at UT). My profesor was the head of the american astronomical society. But he was amazing none the less.

Whiskey, the problem here is you're the only one spouting things as "fact". Yet you don't realize you're just preaching what you've been tought. @Darkfall: There is many theories out there involving physics, all of which string theory is the most interesting. According to string theory we can't truly perceive the particles in their full existance because we can only perecieve 3 dimensions. In the theory, particles are bundled inside many dimensions that we cannot pere

[quote]Problem is, the Universe isn't 13.7 billion years **OLD** -- dark matter (miscalculations, in fact) proves that its at least 5 to 8 billions more than that specific estimation. Kinda puts Quantum mechanics (or even, string theory) in a bowl of multi-verses, btw.[/quote] This is actually not true, ONLY if you're basing it on hubbles constant is this true.

So they are reputable because you say they are? That's not a defense. I attended lectures from the head of the american astronomical society. It was the most enlightening class i've ever taken. I don't claim the universe is 13.7 billion years old, but i'll tell you, it's NOT 10,000 years old. The "big band" is much more likely to have happened from an alternate dimension colliding with ours. Although, THAT is pure theory. Soon hopefully the LHC will offer ensight to the dimensions we

[quote]Earth can be here for a max of 10k years, because God created everything. Which means that man hasn't really changed, he's just got more technology. The entire UNIVERSE is at most 10,000 years if you ask me. Of course, the age of the Earth isn't something that I think, 'If you don't think the Earth is 10k years old or younger, you can't be Christian', because that's stupid. The Earth's age is someth

Guildwars is free because it isn't an MMO by my personal definition. You play in instanced area's that don't meet extreme load's like traditional MMO's such as WoW, FFXI, Everquest, etc.

I have NO problem with that, and love the fact that Frogboy is human and shows emotion, rather than being a professional robot only caring about money. To each his own I guess, but in my mind Frogboy getting upset and telling the trolls to f*off tells me he's a human being who cares about his game, which in turn shows that he

Do you not read anything I type? I told you why. Besides me and SoFF there is no one even attempting to play others. The ones who do want to play can't even form an entire team. It's not worth the effort when it's so hard to do.
