    The new Indiana Jones movie

    It depends. If you like the previous movies, then yes. At a matinee, if you're on a budget. Work in a lunch/dinner to flesh out the occasion.

    The new Indiana Jones movie

    I agree with 'Ol Fezziwig in that the movie seemed a bit rushed. The CG graphics looked a bit amateurish, as well, which overall gave the movie a less classic feel than the others in the series. I don't know if the word that comes to mind most, "cheap", is completely accurate, but that's the...

    The new Indiana Jones movie

    I think you're missing the point. It doesn't specifically target teens, but rather tries to target too many demographics, simultaneously. You know...family entertainment...:)

    AAR Trotsky's War, pbem DB vs Foggy

    Maybe you're just making them think that much more, or harder, about the games you're in that they are constantly reviewing, then closing, reviewing, then closing,..., their last turn's EOT file. We apologize for the problem, and the inconvenience. Keep in mind, that you can do a...

    DNO-Olorin4 vs TurkTownBlue

    They always took me twice that long.

    Few quick questions for the gurus

    Keep in mind that as long as it is receiving *any* supply, it will be eligible to suck up more replacements. Once these things get above the shipping cap, it is a pain in the rear to get them back under. Finding a nice bloody, battle somewhere (Russia?), is the best, and fastest, way to trim...

    Soviet supplies

    It's hard to differentiate with the hyperlink's navy blue text (not enough contrast with the black) but hover your mouse above the words "this thread" in my post and you'll see the hyperlink appear.

    Using extended ASCII characters in the Editor.

    Looks now to be within the first couple of weeks in January. Too many things going on in my life to have had the time to finish wrapping up the loose ends before everyone at Matrix goes on their holiday break.

    Jackson to Produce Two Hobbit Films

    At first glance, just seeing the thread title, I thought you might have been talking about Michael Jackson, and not Peter. From what I've heard, Michael likes little people with fuzzy feet. Or was it bunny slippers?:devious:

    Is 'Golden Compass' 'selling atheism to kids'?

    Yes, typically contrived. Every year for as long as I can remember, there is always a surge of media attention around Christmas time regarding the supposed threat to the "Christian Heritage" of the USA, or the "Lost Meaning of Christmas" and other such rot. It is as predictable and episodic as...

    Is 'Golden Compass' 'selling atheism to kids'?

    Indeed. What's sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander. In either case, they are much ado about nothing. Neither movie is causing, reflecting, or have anything to do with the end of the world, corruption of youth, or the breakdown of societal mores. The contrivation is simply the...

    Is 'Golden Compass' 'selling atheism to kids'?

    Well...my fifteen year old daughter, who is a straight A student, and altar serves every Sunday at the local Roman Catholic parish, saw the film and didn't feel like her faith was threatened. Though she found the film entertaining, she said that the film wasn't as good as the book, which she...

    Is 'Golden Compass' 'selling atheism to kids'?

    And how, exactly, is selling atheism to kids worse than selling religion to kids?

    2WIN -- Allied Naval Units

    This is a consequence of scenario designers using a different icon background color than the side's ground units use, and then assigning the naval formations a lower cooperation level. See the table on page 66 of the pdf manual. Anything less than Free Support for either the naval formation or...

    That patch ...

    C'mon...you're Canadian. Blame the beer. Or Frances...:laugh: Watch out about logging on to somebody else's wireless network. Not only might it be illegal in your locale, but if you have unsecured shared folders you might end up catching something you don't really want.

    That patch ...

    It's not my call to make, but just thought that I'd let you all know that a big reason that we pushed to release it early was to get this show on the road, before it stagnated. So, I would be disappointed if the scramble was in vain, and you all decided to wait...:cry: Seriously, the main...
