    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    you think so? every time there's patch notes, TLP only takes up a fraction of the notes.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    interesting. i had a random thought the other day that you might be able to expand upon -- is it possible that the Germanic myth about dwarves is actually a description of the last surviving neanderthals? could a few handfuls of neanderthal have survived up until about 2000-4000 years ago?

    NASA press conference just a few hours ago told details of the most Earth-like exoplanet thus far discovered: Earth 2.0: What we know about Kepler 452b, the most Earth-like planet ever discovered - Science - News - The Independent but its 1400 light years away, so almost certainly discover...

    p.s. talking about the Fermi Paradox got me listening to this old Tub Ring album named Fermi Paradox. off-topic, but its good shit. almost sounds like something Charlie Kelley would write. =p

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    eh i'm still just stuck in academia, haven't really done anything too exciting. my ultimate goal is pharmaceutical research, though. i figured i might get a response like that when i mentioned cellular life. there's a few different definitions of "life" floating around which i suppose...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    ^ agreed. the current team's heart is definitely in it, at the very least. i've been blown away by some of the things that happened after the TLP launch. stuff like JChan staying up all night to write that queue system restored some faith in EQ.

    did you guys hear that there's likely buckyballs in space?Buckyballs discovered in interstellar space | Ars Technica still (beating a dead horse here perhaps) there's a huge logical leap required to get from primordial proteins to RNA/DNA-mediated cellular life.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    yeah, i suppose thats where i've been subconsciously going with it -- theism. i saw you say earlier in this thread that you're agnostic with an atheistic leaning. i'm agnostic with a theistic leaning. might be why our ideas aren't meshing right now. that is an excellent Fermi Paradox...

    even the former seems pretty bizarre to me, (but the way England seems to put it, its likely not even that rare of an occurrence in our universe... which if he is right it still does nothing for how bizarre it seems to me).

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    ah, i suppose we'll just have to disagree on our definitions of bizarre. i did read the article you linked. perhaps i should read literature from England himself, but it still seems to me that there are a lot of holes in the theory. sunlight + water + hydrocarbons (with a nitrogen here and...

    you could have skipped most of that, hodj (i'm a chemist). uh, no, it definitely should be surprising. lifeless matter given enough time will eventually turn into complex life forms like human beings? that is an INCREDIBLY bizarre idea, and the fact that Jeremy England is trying to act like...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    you know, it has always kind of baffled me that when it comes to the origin of life, the prevailing scientific theory seems to be "molecules just sort of spontaneously started self-replicating"... and when asked why that happened, the two main responses are "it was random" or "thats just the way...

    Tigers have the 4th highest total payroll of any team in the MLB. unless they start kicking a lot of ass in the next week or whatever, they're going to just cut their losses this year and try to pick up some cheaper talent for next year.

    cancelled my subs still Kunark. just a few days left on my paladin, but i've got like 27 days left on my druid account. the classic grind is just awful. even on Lockjaw there isn't nearly enough content for the amount of players. wouldn't have been so bad if I had been in on the initial...

    yup. but the fact that it was one of many bad moves from the company does not mean that it was not indeed a bad move on Smed's part.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    well, count me in the 5%. maybe it would have happened anyway, but after planning and being unable to do a poopsock fest on EQ1 TLP the weekend of the downtime, i've barely logged back in. after a series of disappointments when it came to those servers, this was the final straw.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    FWIW -- i agree with both sides. i completely understand why Smedley reacted as emotionally as he did. but also, a perfect CEO would have kept his cool. that is undeniable. all of DBG's online games were inaccessible because of Smed's Twitter tantrum... an outcome that was both foreseeable...

    what class(es) are you running, chanur? my druid/paladin two box is level 33. i'm close to running out of steam on this server, but doing a good strong push with a partner would probably reinvigorate me. assuming you're on lockjaw.

    That sounds like three affirmative endorsements, so I think i'm going to go for it. Roku with Unlocator is my plan. I *might* live far enough away from Detroit that my Tigers games aren't blackedout, but I'm pretty sure they will be. I can even get a student discount when I sign up for...
