Warcraft 2, I spent so much damned time on that game, I used to play it for about an hour every day at school. Man, I was unstoppable. Me and my buddies always backstabbed each other after we beat the comps. One time there was 7 of us vs one comp, so we stomped it, then everyone allied against me with all the cheats on (glittering prizes, it is a good day to die etc). I held off all 6 of 'em for 30 minutes till lunch hour was over, man that was awesome. I was unbeatable at that game.

Re: This or That?
 

Return Fire 1;prequels are better

Kid or Teen

Brown cow brand
 

Jeez, that one killed things. I guess because either way someone answers the FBI is going to put them in a special file :P.

Anyway, I'll go with kids. They're a whole lot easier to deal with than teenagers, those damn things are the bane of every online game.



Did Red Orchestra deserve to win the MSUR marketing gimmick/community support scheme/contest?

Re: This or That?
 

I think yes, why not? the screenshots look superb, and I'd have gone for it anyway cos I like the red army :)

army research: where would you spend a billion dollar if you were the president (or dictator) of an industrialized nation ? hypersonic flight or hyperveloce submarines ? (provided stealthiness is granted for both)

Re: This or That?
 

Hypersonic flight, although it would be hard to suppress the sonic boom effect you get from travelling faster than sound ^_^

Patriots or Eagles to win the Super Bowl?

X-COM or UFO?

Re: This or That?
 

X-COM.

Did Horton hear a who?

Re: This or That?
 

Just when I was thinking it would be time for me to put my nose into this thread again!

Can you clarify your question?

Re: This or That?
 

Re: This or That?
 

(post deleted)

Re: This or That?
 

aha.

Assuming that Horton is the elephant, several points add in favor of an affirmative answer.
First, the title of the book explicitly states that Horton hears a who (it even insists on that fact, given the exclamative form of the sentence).
Second, the author is a member of the medicine professionals, graded as doctor, which leads one to consider him as a reliable source a priori.
Third, the elephant pictured here does seem to hear something, as indicated by his ears well raised in attention, his alert look, as well as the surprise in his eyes.

It is hence safe enough to deduce that Horton (assuming the bloated white thing with wing-shaped ears is Horton) is hearing something. However little arguments tell us about the nature of what he's hearing, more explicitly, only the title of the book says so. But wouldn't that sentence refer to a precise point in the book's story and not necessarily to the picture displayed under it ? Book titles aren't always a trustable source of information about their contents. This rather tends to invalidate the first point.

Also, we must consider that more often than not, book cover illustrations are by no means reflecting an exact passage of the story they illustrate, being almost always mere conceptual suggestions, allegories. In that sense, the elephant with wing-shaped ears would be voluntarily displayed as hearing something, whereas in the story he would eventually not, or in a totally different context. This definitely invalidates the third point.

Remains the author's signature, seemingly attesting of the truth of these words (that Horton hears a who, that is). But, in this very case, it is difficult to conclude so. Doctors publications are by no means resembling, even by far, to child-targeting orange-painted cheap comics, unless the physicist in question deals with pedopsychiatry: I take that point for almost irrefutable. However, it is your duty to admit that 1°) what characterizes pedopsychiatry is by nature mental pathology, hence that 2°) mental pathologies are intrinsically characterized by symptoms of asociality which are the product of compulsive lies and deceit from the patient to others and to himself - which is in fact the essence of the pathology itself, thus 3°) considering the targeted audience, it is highly questionable that the book's title be true.

Who would say who to an elephant anyway?

I say no. With courage.




Would you rather see a psychologist or a psychoanalyst ?

Re: This or That?

8 glass of water or 3 meals a day?

Re: This or That?

I'll take those three meals, it sounds like more value for money to me.

Lol, I'd have to say sing opera... sometimes on cs_italy I like to sing to the radio, and kill anyone who breaks it.. c'mon, don't lie guys, I know I'm not the only one who sometimes sings to the radio. ;)

Better C&C RTS song:

RA1's Hells March, or C&C's Industry?

[Edit]
I could swear one time when singing, I sang to a hostage, and he blushed. :P

Re: This or That?
 

RA1's Hells March;ri ho he ho ha!

Bittorrent is actually a P2P protocol, but I'll go with BT because I prefer it above all else.


Should regular citizens be allowed to posses weaponry beyond bolt-action rifles and break-barrel shotguns?

ie) no pistols, assault rifles, pump shotties, etc.

Re: This or That?
 

the hell NO!!!!!!

wma or mp3

Re: This or That?
 

ogg ;) nah mp3

zip or rar

Re: This or That?
 

RAR any time.

WASP or Twisted Sister?

Re: This or That?
 

Twisted Sister

Dynamic or Fixed IP?

Re: This or That?
 

"zip or rar" - neither, .tar.gz or .tar.bz2.
RAR is proprietary, and zip doesn't compress well. Also 7-Zip is way too slow for large files :)

"Dynamic or Fixed IP?" - Dynamic, as I only have 56k PCI modem

Re: This or That?
 

...

will Whistler realize he forgot his question? (yes/no) :D

Re: This or That?
 

---Off Topic---
But at least he seized the occasion to preach a little bit against proprietary software.:D Leaving that out AND asking a new question may be a bit too much to ask. :P

Re: This or That?
 

yes tar.x is nice(esp tar.bz2 :)) But I didn't expect many people knew that format anyway...

Uhm...Bold or Italic

Skimmery rinky dinky doo
 

Bold.

Can you get those compression formats such as .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 to work on a Windows box?
