I'm having a pretty hard time understanding exactly what you're meaning to say, but are you implying that when we die and lose whatever gives us our consciousness - that in a finite period of time those pieces could come back together and basically reincarnate this exact consciousness? So I may reawaken in another billion years after I'm dead as the same person I am now

 

If our brains die, it is dead.

 

It will lose all oxygen, all support from the bloodstream.

 

It needs circulation of blood to survive.

 

If it rots and dies, it won't be coming back.

 

I was thinking about death as I often do (No, I'm not emo) and I came up with a hypothesis.

This point assumes no such thing as astral projection, a soul or anything of the sort.

Our brain is of a finite physical size, therefore only a finite number of quantum states can exist within an area the size of our brain, or smaller.

The majority of quantum states that exist within an area the size of our brain will not produce intelligence, far less consciousness.

Assuming consciousness originates from our brain, the specific quantum state that is our brain or even our individual consciousness could take place a second time.

What do you think?

Just try random names in hopes of getting something original.

That's what I did and now I have the original Rainbow Dash name.

well in that case you can try this - http://lotphelp.com/...ivers-fedora-16, or

http://forums.fedora...ad.php?t=204752, but the method i gave you before should be compatible with

fedora 16 as well though.

 

the "equivalent" to apt-get for fedora and rpm systems is yum, this requires a different method since for fedora you need a yum repository not a apt one.

 

I guess it was some sort of issue with my PSU...

Usually I fall asleep playing games or something of the sort, sometimes I fall asleep working on various projects.

As much as I hate Javascript, I can help with with "game-logic" related things if you need.

Are you using jQuery/GWT or raw code?

may i ask what version of fedora you are using? i imangine you will need a yum or rpm repository,

heres something i found for fedora 17 http://www.unixmen.c...dora-13-and-14/

 

I would rather not upgrade to Fedora 17 as I have heard somewhat negative things, if possible.

I have wasted many an hour playing D&D, and if it's still available I'm in.

I assume you're going to be DM?

have you tried installing even newer drivers than the what come with Ubuntu?

the Ubuntu one's might not just support that card yet, or good enough support.

 

try this:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

What would be the equivalent of the "apt-get" command?

I'm a bit torn between Halo and BF3 but I'm still gonna have to go with Halo, simply because I grew up with it.

Question; I put a new GPU in my computer (nVidia GTX 670) from an AMD card and now my screen is only showing green, both of my monitors and this does not happen in Windows.

I did update my drivers.

Me and Twilight Sparkle or Konata Pony.

That is a truly impossible question...

I don't care what people say, /b/ was much better back in those days.

I have been on /b/ since mid to late 07 and it was much better back then. :'(

Yes, I started going on /b/ when I was 11 before you ask.

I was browsing some of my old posts and I kinda feel stupid after reading them. http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png

Go look at some posts you have made, here and on other sites and tell us what you think of them and yourself back then.

What would you think of your old posts if they were not made by you and you saw someone post them today?

inb4 rules 1&2.

Rules 1&2 only apply during raids.

I only got into Forums a few years ago, after I got into various chans.

The first actual forum I was on was Bungie.net but I have been on 4chan since I was 11.

What are you thoughts on it?

Is "true anarchism" even possible? Obviously if there is no law/government, someone will gain a monopoly on weapons/resources/men and they will become the law/government.

If you are an anarchist, how do you justify that?

Obviously there are some other issues with the very concept, and I do not believe true anarchism is possible.

You are just swapping one monopoly with another.

Are there any anarchists able to counter my point?

I may be moving to Calgary from Lethbridge in the near future, so at least there will be more to do.

Hopfully there will be some meetups I can go to, who knows.

What was the last thing you bought?

 

I bought a low-end dedicated server with:

 

I have a VPS with 2 GB RAM and a 30 GB hard drive for $40/mo.

If I may ask, where do you rent yours?

OT: I got a new TV, 72 inch LED TV.

OH GOD, MY JIMMIES.

Shall we get a rage thread going?

When you have mindless shooters consuming 90% of the market, of course you'll have nay-sayers. I do believe that most classic games, and stand out modern gems SHOULD be considered as art. If they really make a lasting impression then I believe it's art.

 

Halo, probably one of the best shooters of all time is by no means mindless. It has a truly amazing story (over 10 books) and decent gameplay, as well as a pretty good community.

I'm not saying I'm a clopper but some of that anthro art has gotten the better of me.

I also read some clopfics, mostly absurd ones for laughs.

It is certainly a big topic as to weather video games are art, and I'm sure a lot of people here will say that they are.

But sometimes you have to state the obvious for people to see it, so without further adieu, we will examine what a game is made of.

Music: I think almost all people will agree that this is art.

Pictures/graphics: Also art, although a lot of games use stock images.

3D Modelling: Arguably art, I would say it is. You need to be quite creative to be good at this.

Programming/technical aspects: Very debatable, you do need some creativity to program but it is usually not art.

Story: Again, most people will agree that this is art.

Marketing: Not really art.

Design: Probably art. This includes maps, vehicles, sound placement etc.

It is obvious that this is somewhat of an over simplification but I think it sums it up quite well, and even if it doesn't I think it suffices.

So I think what can be drawn is that video games are not art, but a combination of many things. Some of which are art, and some not.

This is not to say video games do not take a lot of talented people to make, and I have some of the utmost respect for people like Martin O'Donnell, Jason Jones, Markus Persson (Notch) and many others.
