What does the hot tag mean?

Satellites? Is that thing supposed to have enough oomph to make things go into orbit? I very much doubt that'd be possible. Maybe with some kind of magnetic assistance, but not with gasses.

I'm not getting notifications even though I'm following this thread. They're supposed to appear right left of my name in the top right hand corner, right?

Actually, I think the darkness and the matching styles between the pages are the only good things with the update, will there be some kind of feature-list of the new stuff? I find the layout confusing, I really thought theprolo had changed his name to "Hail Fluffy!" for a while, and while I might get used to that, signatures are a big no-no for me. I don't want to see the same text 5 times per page. The kind of messages put there belongs on the profile page of the person, if it contains any information of value at all. Also, do we not have the same kind of profile page anymore? I really liked the old system... One more positive thing I discovered whilst writing this is that the text editor has been improved, which is a huge plus. Also also, as of now I can just change my title to "Administrator" or "Moderator "and go around ruining the credibility of the staff, which is not a good thing. EDIT: Is there a setting I could use that makes me auto-follow threads the way I used to?

This wasn't meant to be a particularly religious thread from the start, it was to be about general philosophy. I can prove to myself that my mind exists. That's about as far as what I can "really" prove, which means the only proven facts that exist are my own thoughts. And I don't think god exists. I win.

Hitler was really a Pokémon. Proof:

So, are we talking the christians' god now or just any old omnipotent sentient exodimensional entity? Either way, I'm getting into this weird argument-loop again, but how would the creator exist if it didn't begin to exist? Why would the universe be less likely to simply "start existing" than a god? Proton decay? Are you talking about the big rip? That cannot be proved without further studies of dark matter and dark energy. Also, infinitely many dimensions/ the big crush scenario -> infinite time -> pretty much everything is bound to happen at some point. Non-life turning into life ∈ Everything

Whoops, forgot to add "if evolution hasn't happened" to my note. I meant it as a simple proof of evolution. We can't observe the creation of the universe, either. I just pointed out that even if god(s) are outside of existence, they too would have to been created. If they wouldn't have had to been, nothing would necessarily have had to in order to exist. My point is, god serves no function in explaining the creation of the universe, it just adds another step to the process.

So? If he exists he must have begun existing. If he mustn't have begun existing in order to exist, common logic falls apart, and we might as well settle for "anything can happen however whenever", which will render the discussion useless. Side note: Why do I have parts that serve no function but would serve a function if I were a primate?

I know our 4 dimensions are inseparable, but I don't see how that gives god a pass on the whole "had to be created from something/by someone" thing, even if a divine entity could reside in a universe different from our own.

I thought that too at first, but if that's true in this case, why did it work when I plugged both USB ends of the cable into a hub, that in turn was only connected to a single USB slot on the laptop?

Yes, getting one of those is a good investment. I have one, but for some reason it needs to be plugged into two USB slots at once with a banana cable (or whatever it's called in english), so I had to get an USB hub as well... Seriously though, why would it need 2 USB ports?!

Following that logic, why couldn't it be that the universe just always existed for no damn reason? It makes just as much sense, if not more.

The biggest problem I have with creationists is that they don't acknowledge that god(s) would have to be created from something. Why is it okay for god(s) to have spontaneously started existing, but not the universe? Also, while I think the "soup" theory probably is bollocks, with the universe basically being infinite, wouldn't there be basically infinite chances for anything to occur, however unlikely?

OS and good games goes on the SSD, other stuff goes on the HDD. You'll save money that way, and HDDs have lower failure rates than SSDs, so less chance of you losing your data (Movies documents, save file backups etc.). Mostly it's about the money, though.

1 TotalBiscuit worth of SSD? Why not do 1 TB HDD and a smaller SSD for games?

There's a lot of doofy (plural of doofus) in that thread, complaining about great games like FNV, Portal, and Arma II (DayZ related things, mostly). I chuckled at the guy who bought FNV without knowing it was an RPG. Ralph, you have some really great games on your regret-list, is it just because you don't feel they have replay value, or because you didn't like them? My nr1 regret was buying Hitman: Absolute bullshit. Linear stealth that relies too much on waiting, that was one of the worst games I've ever played.

Why did you write in all bold, and why did you post two of the same posts? One of which you double posted in! It seems you like posting.

Solutions: 1. Run away 2.Flush them out the airlock, make sure to have upgraded your doors. Also, the maximum boarding crew size is 3 or 4. 3. Put a missile on their engines/captain. You need to make a strategy for the ship you're using, if you just upgrade blindly you'll probably fail.

A cold arctic wind swept the bare tundra, kicking up dust devils of snow and filling the air with a white haze. "It seem like finnish spring is on it's way out there!" my friend shouted. Sitting in the sauna after a day of hard work, we all drank and joked about everything between heaven and earth. It's a celebratory occasion, as I'm spending my last day near home before enlisting on the air-ship S.S Friendship under the command of the Omaorb Richs_Yard. We all thought it would be nigh on risk-free, as it wasn't supposed to sail in dangerous skies, and because I'd prepared a magical pendant for myself, to be reanimated with my own soul inside my own, healed body in case of an accident. 6 months after the launch, I'm sitting in my bunk bed, listening to the starboard engines roar. I think I've done a good job so far, even if I've not been called upon to do anything except to fix some leaking pipes. I spend my free time learning the guitar, playing cards with the crew or surfing the web whenever we're flying over a place with wifi to hack. I find myself content with my situation, but I'm glad I'll be able to rejoin my friends and family in just 8 months. 10 months after the launch, I wake up to cannonfire. I rush out from my bed and up to the main deck, thinking it must be some pirates trying to get lucky. When I open the trapdoor and rush out, I cannot help but stare, as I see a full-sized grade A fighter vessel floating over us. Our captain has manned the craft himself, and is desperately trying to outmanoeuvre the fighter. But the crew has panicked, I see our second officer lying on the deck, his skull split in half. The fighter lowers to give us a full broadside, I see the name of it, S.S Mataroyale. "How the hell did a fighter that big sneak up on us?" is my last thought before our ship is blown to pieces, and me with it. The hunger, the bottomless HUNGER! I wake up lying in a forest, feeling like I haven't eaten since the day I was born. It's like my very soul is hungry for something. I get myself together, and look around. I remember nothing at first, but then I remember my own death. I look at my body to see if the healing was complete, only to see that my skin has turned rotten and green, and I have open wounds. How did this happen? I search for the reanimation pendant, and find it in a nearby rag, from my clothes. It has turned half black, half purple. Weird. It's like some foreign magic has interfered with my own. I slowly realize that I haven't actually been healed, just reanimated like a common zombie, but with a bit of brain intact. I wander about for a while, searching for nothing, when I find my portable computer just lying there, in the forest. How did it survive where I did not? I go to it, to see if it's power core has enough juice in it for an emergency broadcast. I boot it up, and move the mouse over the power symbol. "Estimated time left: infinity". It seem whatever foreign magic messed with my reanimation pendant also messed with the power core of the computer. Full of hope, I start to send a message, as the boosted core seems to have made my machine able to connect to wireless networks miles away. I type "Stuck in the forest with these coordinates", but when I reach out to press the enter key, I look at my partially decomposed hands. What would be my fate if others were to find me in this state? Would I be subject to painful experiments, or even killed? I almost start to cry, but then I realize I have an immortal body and a gaming computer with infinite energy and internet access, and I just sit down on a fallen tree, and begin to play steam games. It has been 3 months since the S.S Friendship was shot down, and I'm still on the same log, still gaming. In a body that has no physical needs, but cannot be near humans without devouring them. I will never see my family or friends again, I'll never be able to enjoy food or drink again, but I will game into eternity. This forest is the closest, yet furthest thing to Hell on Earth

Maybe it's the sleeping pills again, but I don't see how slowpoke could think trying to censor people would work, and be beneficial to anyone, perhaps he isn't to blame for the censoring? On the other hand, is it common for him to go between reasonable human and mudslinging, insulting, semi-troll?

Whoops. I've actually never heard of that one. Have you played Black Mesa?

I started writing a slightly worked up response about how wrong you were until I realized you are using > like an arrow instead of a symbol for "greater than"... Anyways, if anyone hasn't played it yet, go play "Black Mesa", the source remake twotails spoke of.
