| Heheh... seems I was wrong about MSU beating Michigan. Michigan might be #1 this year if this keeps up. They play some really hardcore football, imo. As for MSU, they will facing #1 Ohio State at home next week. With 4 straight losses in sight, I don't know how Drew Stanton will respond. | |||

The greatest thing I've noted about this so far is that this thing supports searching with regular exp :O
Shouldn't this be in the programming forum though? |

| How about exp I think if you actually did go to court over flipping off your principal there is more to this story than you are telling us, but if not then that is a bit excessive. Probably something to do with public obscenity, but meh. You can get arrested for wearing a T-Shirt that says "fuck you" or other such things. |

| ^ I wouldn't necessarily say that. Every game is going to have its own music format and others are harder to decode than some. I don't imagine CT's being easy. | |||

Originally posted by Xkeeper The point I was trying to make is that telling someone to NOP NOP NOP instead of hook discourages people from actually learning what the routine they are calling does. Also, it is not always the best solution to completely disable a behavior. It may be beneficial to sometimes let the behavior run, and in some cases not. example, in place of NOPs, you could: JSR hook hook: LDA levelNumber TAX LDA levelBehaviorList, X CMP dontUseBehavior BEQ disabled JSR originalRoutine disabled: RTS This is an oversimplified scenario b/c in truth, hooking a routine can be tricky at times, but I think my point stands. |

I'm to blame. Us math nerds sucked up all the math knowledge and now there's not much left to go around  . |

| When my dad told me IU beat no. 15 Iowa today I thought he was joking.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=262870084&confId=null Apparently not... though we play at mighty Ohio State next week. There will be... riots if we somehow upset that. riots in Bloomington and probably murderous riots in Columbus. |

| I was reading a book by Richard Dawkins yesterday, I believe it was called The God Delusion, which deals with atheism and many of the things that frustrate him about religion and its involvement in society. This got me to thinking... how do you view atheism and atheists? Do you think things would be different if aeons from now, everyone was an atheist? I mean, I think about raising kids when I have them someday, and how things would turn out if I didn't take them to church. And more hypothetically, what if there wasn't a church to take them to...
Secondly, is it possible to have morals without theism? And if so, what are the morals based upon and what gives them value? I know Dawkins apparently addresses this in his book, but I haven't read that far. I read about 100 pages of it at a local bookstore, but am skeptical of buying it b/c he seems to base all his arguments on evolution, which I don't see as a necessary reason or argument for atheism; in fact, his overuse of the theory nauseates me. |

| Y'all suck. Say yes to fun courses, actually listenable music, and a lack of stupid voice acting. Also... I don't know why but I prefer untextured polygons over... you know. In case you haven't figured it out, my comparison is Star Fox the original > Starfox 64. The other games are.... well let's see I've played Starfox Adventures, which just felt like a Zelda game but with furries in it. Command is ... okay but the time limits are obscene, and the levels where you actually do fighting are pointless. I'm glad I didn't buy it, I just... um, "previewed" it, yeah. Starfox Assault I want to try but my Gamecube controllers are with a friend right now so there's no point. Starfox 2 was fun but I only really enjoyed the VS. mode while playing with a friend. Most emulators at the time I found it couldn't support the game without it randomly crashing. | |||

| I dunno... it could be the case that it would cost more in a place like Puerto Rico. I've heard in places like Guam and Hawaii things cost up to twice as much, just b/c of the extra difficulty of shipping it. Alaska, for example, has a high cost of living, but higher wages than the continental US. But these truisms usually assume to be talking about non durable goods like groceries... I don't know if this carries into such luxuries as home electronics. A K-Mart may be very well justified in charging that much. | |||

| This line:
bankmap[2] = 0x30010; May actually be the offender. Because, you only declared bankmap as an array having two entries: long bankmap[2]; Trying to access this will corrupt your heap since you read beyond the array's bounds. Instead, you should declare it as: long bankmap[3]; Doing illegal reads/writes may not immediately trigger the exception. It may be the next time you access dynamically allocated memory that the exception triggers. I had a very nasty bug like this recently in a program that I was writing. I would recommend writing a class or struct to better manage your allocated memory, but in this case it seems to be something you just did out of ignorance (or unattentiveness) to how arrays work. Accessing romdat in the way you have done doesn't seem to present any glaring errors to me, and this is why I have directed your attention elsewhere. |

| Perhaps my thread title was a bit misleading. I should have titled it "Atheism vs. Theism." And this is because I didn't want the argument to be about institutionalized religion. In addition, as I tried to elaborate in my first post, I don't think evolution is a necessary justification to be atheistic. Rather, if one were to think rationally about his/her everyday experiences, some things appear not to add up about the existence of a God or gods.
The first is the lack of everyday (or even lifetime) interaction with higher beings. How many of you have had an experience that you would say was direct interaction with a higher being? And if you say, "well maybe this being interacts but in a way we cannot understand," take a step back and analyze how foolish it sounds. That is not to say the behavior is absolutely foolish, but, as Dawkin's book title states, it does seem a bit delusional. I myself have a hard time coming to a conclusion that I myself am an atheist, simply b/c there is that nagging thought in the back of my brain: "what if... what if I'm wrong and someone is watching me." It's enough to make you afraid to make up your mind. Perhaps this is because i was raised in a theistic environment. I myself have had one experience in my whole life that would cause me to question the atheistic view, and even that is dubious as I have a hard time recollecting the exact details. For reference, this is what happened: I was invited to go to a Jehova's witness meeting, and being the nice person I was decided to take them up on it. I was a fairly faithful catholic at the time, and was uneasy going to a meeting of a group widely considered to be a cult. As I was taking a shower before going to said meeting, I was a bit nervous and before stepping into the shower I stepped on the toe of my sock of my other foot and lifted the foot with the sock on it upwards. This usually just pulls the sock off but in this case I seem to clearly recall it tearing the sock if not in two, then nearly in two. This was a minor nuisance, but as I was in the shower I began to think about how in the world of Christianity there is a world of fraction (protestantism) and a world of unity, and how protestantism has fractured the Church as a whole. So all I could think about was how one would possibly bring them back together. And this thought ran through my mind over and over again until I felt almost as in a trance or lucid state. As I stepped out of the shower I discovered that both my socks were whole again. I was astonished that the sock had no outward signs of damage. Now this sounds remarkable, until you consider the following: 1. perhaps there is something in the brain that triggers hallucinations associated with theistic thinking. 2. rationally speaking, I could have experienced a form of hysteria or mismatching of memories similar to deja vu, which happens even when the brain is not stressed out. 3. My brother used the same shower at the time, and it is possible I had confused a pair of socks of his with ones that I thought I had ripped. As I said, the details get fuzzy with time but I was very shocked at the time. 4. Even if this is a miracle, who is to say that the source of the phenomenon was something other than myself? Perhaps thestic mind patterns can trigger something like telekinesis. I hope you don't think this sounds arrogant, b/c if it were true, then it would mean everyone was capable of a miracle, hypothetically. And if it sounds arrogant for the human race as a whole, consider that there is a man in history who is said to have walked on water and turned water into wine. All those events were in the context of theistic thought, and it was only later he was elevated to god status by religious councils. i.e. if you believe Jesus did the things he is said to have done, it is not such a stretch to believe other humans COULD be capable of such things in the proper mindset. 5. I did not witness the coming together of the socks, if it did happen at all. That which I cannot see leads me to doubt. But I am not trying to attract attention to this experience of mine, and would rather focus on the second thing that does not add up - scarcity of life in the universe. In the early days of recorded history it seems you could go just about anywhere and see more life, especially human life. Now we are at a point where we are looking very hard and can't find ANY. If there is a God, that would lead you to a few different conclusions: 1. He wants us to stay here (the sandbox is big enough, go play in it, kid) or 2. He wants us to go forth and expand his life creation into the lifeless galaxy, or 3. There are other forms of life or other humans out there to meet Regardless of what conclusion you arrive at, space is a scary, vast place to colonize. You can't just sail a ship across the sea and begin building a city at this stage of technological advancement. The main point of contention in atheism vs. theism seems to be what to focus on in creation. Atheists seem to focus on how, and theists seem to focus on the big WHY. Why do we exist is a hard question to answer, and it seems that the notion of God is a placeholder, imo. Atheists either think of life as a singularity, or something that has not been fully revealed to us yet and is not worth conjecturing. But imagine if scientists answered the question of why magnets attract and repel with "God is moving them with his hand."? To me, it seems natural to want to answer such a big question as "why do we exist?" with a placeholder, but it doesn't seem to be scientific. And yes, there is a fundamental difference between faith and science, my point is that faith seems to be a nonproductive approach to finding an answer. In other words, how can you not be bothered that faith provides no means of finding real answers? |

| I must say those are some weird graphics choices, but I kind of like them in a strange way. Hopefully as long as you intend for your hacks to be coherent you'll get approval. It's the hackers who come up with ideas that make no sense that irritate us the most. | |||

| I haven't sat down and disassembled this patch yet, but simply want to know whether this restores existing code in the ROM, or adds in the functionality itself. It seems quite a lot to accomplish in just $24 bytes from scratch. |
