So basically you're arguing you won b/c the Natalie was winning 1 year ago by 1 vote. However, if I had seen that poll one year ago, I would have voted in it, and it would have been for Uma. :p

Natalie has the personality of an earwig. Utter turn off.

XD. Sounds like a real smoker to me... I once knew a guy who would go up to ashtrays and puff on anything he could find that still had tobacco in it.

So you think not even giving people a chance is all right, b/c it's public perception? I think prejudice might save your butt sometimes, like if you're in a neighborhood at 1am in the morning and a bunch of black guys are running towards your car about to kill you b/c they're in a gang or whatever, then yeah. But that is a matter of clear and present danger.

It's another matter entirely to be on a plane with an Arab dude and start beating him down b/c you think he's going to hijack the plane, now isn't it? The attitudes in the article seem to suggest that we should be able to take away any right of any individual on the basis of their ethnicity, and not on an actual evaluated threat from that person. Profiling, to me, is a waste of time. In the past year, the Indianapolis PD stopped Isaiah Thomas of all people b/c they thought he had drugs in his trunk - just because he was black. The two state cops didn't know who he was, and if they did, they would have obviously known he had no motivation to be carrying drugs. He's a high paid NBA coach and former NBA star. Once they found out, they felt stupid and let him go.

In the wake of 911, many Arab families I know personally have had the FBI come to their houses and do endless amount of interviewing. It isn't just at the airports, they're being profiled everywhere. I don't see how going up to a family and asking questions is anymore helpful than surveillance from afar. At least it's not as bad as what we did with the Japanese in WW2.

Since you didn't say what I thought you said, maybe you should explain when you think prejudice is a good thing.

Fire can't happen without oxygen... I choose wind.

It's also an Final Fantasy underdog b/c it almost never gets used in spells.

I wasn't trying to be a "thread hero" or whatever. I just wanted you to clarify. Is that a crime? I thought maybe you had some justification I hadn't thought of.

I don't see it insulting my intelligence, but some parts of it are kind of stupid, like the heart eating terrorists portion.

Yes, but the disassembled "subroutines" are in assembly, which you hate so much. d4s's answer is very sarcastic tongue-in-cheek.

Either way, it would be pretty pointless to convert them to, say, VB style routines or C style routines b/c you usually have to interpret the assembly yourself to figure out what it should say in C, or VB. No program could do that for you or it would already exist.

It might get some things right but it would not accurately capture the semantics. BCC and BCS operations in particular are cryptic in assembly, and don't easily translate to if - else statements directly unless you know what the assembly code is doing.

Anyone who wants to alter snes game code will need to learn assembly, there is no way around it.

Posted on 05-18-05 05:48 AM, in Why are High-Achievers not american born? Link
It's a cultural thing, but it also depends upon the family. Some foreign cultures put heavy emphasis on academic achievement. I'm inclined to say asians aret the most conspicuous of that sort, but in my experience my old Chinese boss told me his daughter didn't need anymore school (college). But that's probably b/c he ran a restaurant and wanted her to take over managing his, or other new restaurants he opens. So again it depends upon the family and the disposition.

If you're concerned about your GPA, I'd suggest you consult with your teachers or your counselors. Sometimes you can lost points b/c your academic strategies don't fit well with the teachers you have.

You mean if you run up a wall with a triangle block? That's the only thing I can think of, and I haven't even played SMW in ages, so even that seems fuzzy.

Btw, what I said about Asians was motivated by the fact that if, by some chance you ended up passing through the university library on a friday or saturday night, the only people there would be asians. All the Americans are out partying. Not that a lot of Asians don't as well...

Posted on 05-19-05 12:39 AM, in Feel like listening to a story? Link
I read through some of it, Slay. And it was pretty good, fairly realistic. Though, some of the dialogue I thought was stock, like using "boo hoo". I dunno, I just never hear anyone say stuff like that in real life.

"Boo hoo, women gotta shave their legs, same thing."

I'm no writer, but if you want your dialogue to sound better, it seems to me you should go back and imagine a group of people having a conversation and saying these words. Would it seem natural or forced. Is it in character or out of character? Stuff like that.

Also, you'll get more replies if this is moved to the story forum. I'm surprised I didn't think of suggesting that earlier. I'm also surprised a mod hasn't already moved it there.

If you don't mind me asking, why would you want to convert a whole rom to hi-rom? Sounds like a lot of work for almost no benefit.
