    Dynasty warriors tech demos running on PS3 platform, everything looks nice, but I'm still not that impressed, they promised us much more on their hype speeches. But maybe the dynasty warriors developers haven't had the time to really explore the capabilities of the machine, or it's just that this so called "supercomputer" really is not that powerfull as Sony has touted.

    Just heard about this today, and I just don't know if I should laugh or cry. I decide to laugh for now, but the frightening fact is that many think this way.

    Unreal Engine 3 seems so crazy popular because all this eye candy they are showing to us that I'm thinking of making a console that actually is a hardware running UE3 and all the games are just mods, I would make millions, SO WHO IS WITH ME!

    Is the Canon A85 any good? It costs 219 euros so it's good for my budget.

    Short answer, it is, I had Canon PowerShot A70 before and I just absolutely loved it, the design was great and image quality was second to none (at it's price range ofcourse).

    Well there are much dumber things if u think evolution is like that. For example, why arent we born as fullgrown muscled humans, why do we need to be fixed to survive?

    I think u confuse intelligent design with perfect design. If a god wanted us to be perfect, he would have made us immortal robots capable of living in space, underwater or in vulcanos , without free will ,because with free will u can do bad things and if bad things can happen, god isnt intelligent right?

    Even the mainstream religions cover this question because evrytime someone dies theres ppl asking why he wasnt immortal

    The perfect you described is nowhere near perfect, fullgrown muscled robots with no mind, perfect is to be experienced, experienced through different stages of life, perfect is to be weak at some point, if we weren't weak sometimes, we would be much more vulnerable than we would be if we would be immortal, to survive through life is rigorgorous, and thus makes us perfect in imperfect way. Remember, the perfect line is not always straight, it is what it should be to fit it's position. If you are questioning imperfections due to physical incapabilities or mental ones, such as why we can't live in volcanoes is evolutionaily explained through that we hae found ways to do so without altering our bodies, and religiously through "god made man as an image of himself" thus it would seem that god is an imperfect being with chance to be wrong, but because belief relies on the fact that god is never wrong, it is thusly destroying itself.

    Quote from RD

    Try explain why evolution is very intelligent, but it would be dumb if god designed it? Do you think there is another way?

    God, the deity who is supposed to create all things divine and unholy, he created two sides to everything, to bring balance. Evolution brought balance till man rose through creatures to be the dominant one, and once tipping the balance off, so is god destroying us right now? We are the ones that control the so called balance, we create medical treatmenst to fight the deceases evolution brings us, and we extinct species that could harm us, so are WE gods? Certainly not, since we can be killed by mere ballistic object, OR if we are gods image, he could have been killed by small piece of metal going faster than speed of sound, maybe someone already killed god, and that is why we have not evidence of his existence.

    So, ask me again, do I think if there is any intelligence at all in this so called intelligent design.

    Ofcourse thers no proof. I was just saying it because u were saying that evolution disproves intelligent design, while its actually part of the theory.

    Yes well anything that needs fixin and adjusting over time is not that intelligent :roll:

    Quote from RD

    How would evolution break the allknowingness of a god? Try explain, whats so dumb about life having the power to adapt to all circumstances

    If god was allpowerfull and all knowing, he wouldn't need evolution to keep his creations adapting to all circumstances, or do you call it allknowing if you don't actually know all? The evolution itself is not dumb, on the contrary, it is actually very intelligent, but the idea of something like god designing evolution is just plain stupid.

    This layout is tastylike, very clean, but I'd might point out that it's very generic mapper/game artist site, but it's all good, the main point is that the info is all clearly presented.

    Nice clean design, limited the amount of bling I like it. But still some lacking in standards compliant design, but that is ok, since it only applies when it doesn't present any obstacles to page design.

    I'll give it 5 thumbs, two of mine, two of the guy next to me and one I found yesterday.

    Your heart evolves when u get older as well, it grows just like your whole body, but it doesnt break intelligent design does it?

    Evolution doesnt mean there is no control. The koran for example describes guided evolution (guided by allah ofcourse :roll: ). One of his billion nicknames is the evolver. And strangely enough... this was written a millenium before the theory of evolution Jesus

    You are starting to sound like some sort of religious zealoth, and how does it proof that evolution is controlled because it was said so in koran? Besides if god/household deity #x is in control of evolution wouldn't that break the all knowingness of god and proof that he still is a science kid not knowing what he is doing and by evolution he is making sure that he minimizes the damages done to his grand design?

    Besides, I wouldn't call heart growing in time 'evolution', your nose and ears grow through your life and it's not evolution, they can't sprout eyes and start speaking, nor can heart.

    The eye is just a cheap trick to lure ppl into believing intelligent design. The eye would work if it had no rods, it would just work diffrently, just like many animals have 'eyes' which work diffrently

    All life evolves, not just humans. We just need it to survive, just like our heart. Our heart doesnt break intelligent design to pieces, neither does evolution. I think Grayfox is the living proof that intelligent design has failed :roll:

    How exactly evolution does not break the intelligent design? The intelligent design suggest that to the point where is was created everything was balanced on a tip of surgical knife, it is that what makes it so intelligent after all, and if there is evolution there is no control, if there is no control the whole design fails, it's like designing a car and making the gas a on and off switch, the luck of the driver will decide the outcome of the cruise.

    I'm a huge fan of movie music, nope, not soundtracks as we know them right now, they are just collections of crappy songs by crappy modern artists, I'm talking about Lalo Schifrin, Bob James, Ennio Morricone and so on. Songs that are created for the movie to fill certain place and create a mood.

    If you haven't already heard Ennio Morricones Fistful of Dollars soundtrack or Lalo Schifrins original Mission Impossible and Dirty Harry soundtracks I advice you to pick them up. Movie music at it's best.

    I think posteh had a really good point in the end, creationism or intelligent design if true would have made us what we are, but we are still evolving, if god created evolution after he created us and animals, is it actually intelligent design? It's like god saying "better not risk it, I have made man perfect but let's just add evolution that he stays that way in the foreseeable future", the so called intelligent design breaks to pieces, god is actually a science kid not knowing what he is doing.

    I don't think that the difference you can get with 50$ is that much of a heaven compared to the cheaper one, cameras go by tiers, the cheapos around 200$ then comes the high'end consumer cameras around 300$ all the way to 500$ then comes the prosumer cameras that range from 500-1,000$ and then comes the pro cameras from 1,000-14,000>$

    So I'd advice you to get a camera in the high-end conrumer or low-end prosumer cameras, and I think that the Canon G6 has quality over your need and when pairing it with a a microdrive you can take raw format pictures that should be enough to print photo quality A3 size prints (that is 11¾ × 16½ in size for you americans, and Ledger/Tabloid in paper size).

    I use mainly public transportation and bicycle for my means of moving from place to place, I fucking hate cars, cost like arm and leg, if you buy one, you are broke and have to work harder, if you own one you'll fix it and insure it till you are broke and try to work harder, what is the point? I'd take a loan from bank to buy me a death trap that is also a major money hole?

    Just fix your bike, and catapult + car = tons of fun applications.

    I just chuckeled by myself thinking about ESRB rating forums, I think Mapcore would get somekind of out of the scale rating, and I'd guess so would many other forums.

    As Avery Score of Gamespot said, why are they so upset about something like this? Why are they riding GTAs butt while there are such games like God of War where you don't need cheat codes, hacks, nor mods to see pair of mammaries. If someone makes HL2 a nudeskin for Alyz, does it mean that ESRB is going to raise the rating of that game?

    It doesn't matter if the content is built in to the game since it could not been activated without hacking, so it is basically the same as nudeskin, it could not be seen without something extra work.

    I have done alot of photography, commercial and as a hobby, and I have always trusted Canon cameras, and I assume that you are looking for digital camera so I'd advice you to check out some Canons, if you can, get Digital Rebel XT tho it seems to go for 800-900 for kit depending on the lense, the body is around 600-700 tho.

    Also Canon G6 which I use for fast compact camera to take with me when I'm not sure what I need is awesome, it goes for 600$ and you can still upgrade it with tele and macro lenses and flashes and tripods.

    For more you can look at http://%7boption%7d, it's a great site and I read it almost daily.
