  1. Picking a web browser

    On Windows, I use Firefox. Haven't really felt the need to switch to Chrome or Opera. On my Linux netbook, I use this thing called rekonq. It's a WebKit browser for KDE. It works well enough, and it's not quite as huge as Chrome and Firefox are.
  2. Gen 1 Best RBY lead?

    Starmie is actually listed as a Jynx counter on the latter's analysis.
  3. Gen 1 Best RBY lead?

    edit: to stay on topic, Exeggutor is my lead of choice. It makes as good a sleep absorber as anything, isn't completely worthless when paralyzed, takes hits well, and has a good sleep move to boot. Oh, and it has Stun Spore to ruin Alakazam or Double-Edge to simply KO it. In Prime Cup (level...
  4. Sleep Clause V2: a better definiton for WiFi battles.

    I don't think either situation should violate Sleep Clause, especially not Magic Coat. You can't tell whether the user was expecting another status move or was trying for a second sleep. Further, it can't be abused to put a large number of Pokemon asleep unless there are a lot of sleep moves on...
  5. Can't connect to my server

    This is what the client says when I try to log in james@james-desktop-kubuntu:~$ !javaws javaws http://shoddybattle.com/client/shoddybattle.php Unimplemented intrinsic ability: Stall Unimplemented move: Natural Gift Unimplemented move: Recycle...
  6. Can't connect to my server

    I got the CVS source and built it. It compiled fine and started up fine, but whenever I try to log in, nothing happens. Or so it seems. When I connect to localhost, the client raises java.io.EOFException. Any reason why this could be happening?
  7. The Basis of Morality

    Informal induction isn't much different than faith, yet that is what people use when they expect the Sun to rise tomorrow morning. Are you saying that it's immoral to believe that the laws of physics will remain the same and that the sun will thus rise tomorrow? Sounds vaguely like Epicurian...
  8. Mercenary - 11 Dreams

    Genre: Melodic Death Metal This album is one of my favorites. It keeps throwing curveball after curveball at you starting with the first actual song. You're Seriously, buy this now. I could just leave the review at that. It's that good. It combines amazing melodies with the raw power of death...
  9. Reviews Glossary (Last Updated: July 25th, 2009)

    This is backwards. The band is named Epica; the album is The Divine Conspiracy.
  10. Now Playing 2: The Return of Music

    Gorod - Chronicle from the Stone Age For a death metal song, this isn't very heavy. Still one of their better songs, though.
  11. Tell us about the best/worst teacher/prof you've ever had to this date.

    I'd say my best teacher ever was my 8th grade geometry teacher. He's infamous for his chalk-throwing, but he was damn good at teaching. We learned 90% of what we needed to learn in 3 quarters, so he even threw in a bit of game theory and such. The worst one was my 8th grade science teacher...
  12. God: Narcissist or low on self esteem?

    Jesus Himself describes hell using some language that is not at all fun. He compares it to a certain flaming garbage dump--Gehenna; this seems to imply that the souls of the unenlightened/unbelievers/whatever will be discarded like refuse. Further, He uses language such as "weeping and gnashing...
  13. Super Spriting/Trainer Card/other art nonsense thread

    I've got a pretty odd fusion request. Porygon-Z with Bagon's helmet thingy, a Bronzor as a shield, and the Farfetch'd leek being held as a sword.
  14. Why do people think Christianity is better than Islam?

    I'd rather use "handle it" than "fix it" as the latter implies that "the gayness inside them" can be removed; from what I've heard it cannot.
