  1. Life

    This is a bit of a strawman argument, as the vast majority of atheists don't use science to "disprove God". Most atheists would be labelled as "agnostic atheists", (don't believe in a God yet also believe it is probably impossible to prove God is not there either). Compared to gnostic atheists which are as you are describing (don't believe, yet somehow knows there is no God). I can't find any reliable numbers for the ratio of gnosticism in atheism, but I'd be willing to bet it is far outnumbered by the agnostic side. Of course, this system isn't perfect for labeling and describing the wide spectrum of beliefs, but it does make a very valid distinction on both sides about the manner of their belief. Here's and article that goes into it a bit more: http://freethinker.c...009/09/25/8419/ Edit: Your friend sounds like a twat though. Slap him or something. Also I forgot to read the latest page and now this post is off-topic already
  2. Build guide for LoL (wait for it ~0.18) [media=] [/media]
  3. Is it repeatable or is Gditz the winner forever?
  4. Legend has it, one day Tabacco will return to these humble lands, and rain his smite down upon the earth itself, shifting eras as well as the world.
  5. Anathem

    I asked this recently and the consensus was definitely Snow Crash first, then Cryptonomicon.
  6. Soul Calibur V

    Go easy on them. They can't do it all on their own -- I mean, they're no supermans.
  7. I like the idea of thematic builds, like a sky city, or a rapture-esque underwater area, where anyone can contribute. If it's not divided into plots, but rather just added onto naturally, it can still look like an actual city without needing a large amount of people building.
  8. Where can I find this 'Windows95 City'? EDIT: Found it on the map. West of spawn.
  9. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    Oh, I had seen that most of the writers had left a month or two ago, and didn't put the two together. Such awful news.
  10. Torchlight II

    I think I read that it's 6.
  11. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    That really blows. I also heard most of the secondary characters (such as Garrett and Neil) aren't coming back for season 4.
  12. DOTA 2

    So I just randomly checked my Steam library and DOTA2 is now there, uninstalled. Does that mean I have a key? I didn't get an email or anything. EDIT: Checked my transactions. I've had a key for a month without knowing Anyway, see some of you in game!
  13. The threat of Big Dog

    Ok, you win this thread. That is the worst thing. I wonder how much funding they got for that thing...
  14. Diablo III

    Wizard Spotlight. Seems to be new. VgAoVpBohas "A master of the arcane arts, the Wizard taps into forces beyond mortal ken to bring her foes to their knees. With a powerful combination of offensive and defensive powers, the Wizard is a force to be reckoned with."
  15. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    Season 2 started off really great, but due to them being cancelled, I heard Whedon tried to shoehorn 3 seasons of character development into the second half of season 2, which was unpleasant to some degree. After the drought of actual narrative in season 1, it seems weird to complain about the opposite. But it was definitely not up to par.
  16. Can anyone use Dreamweaver?

    Dreamweaver does this. At least CS5 version does anyway. I used the WYSIWYG view a fair bit for a project and didn't have to deal with spacer GIFs or tables at all, and it handled the CSS just fine (from what I could tell).
  17. I used Herbert Schildt's Complete C++ Reference a good while ago. It didn't think it was amazing or anything, but the guy who wrote it is cool. I mean look at him: You can tell this guy means business.
  18. The threat of Big Dog

    The latter. I hope.
  19. The Walking Dead

    Spoilers for Episode 1 and the first quarter of the comic and maybe the show (I'm not sure).
  20. Can anyone use Dreamweaver?

    I just did an intro to web design module this spring and we were all given copies of Dreamweaver and told "This is what proper designers use!". Any particular reasons why it's so bad and what software would actual people suggest instead of it?
  21. YOUR WOLD!

    "Rhinokio do you know what the word liable means? Think about it and think about my resources and then imagine what I could do to someone legally. :-) " Oh God this is so hard to watch ugh
  22. I'm not about to start an e-petition or anything, but it weirds me out to some degree to place these (supposedly intelligent) beings in this little box forever. Also Testificates just look creepy in general which probably adds to it.
  23. You're not using the Testificate-powered version of this circuit are you? That's the main way I've seen LDRs being done, and it's pretty creepy and inefficient. I'll have to take a look at your stuff sometime. edit: damn typos
  24. We must end the tyranny of preconceived gender notions by slaying this Gender Dragon. Only then can the society of Minecraft truly begin.
