I'm usually bashing the topic with the kids... The banknote in their hand they can tell apart from another bank note in their hand, good look doing that with digital moneys :) But then people seem to agree to avoid the understanding of fundamental social mechanics. (namely money)... Its all very fascinating...

@Jon I'd be all for the money going to him (: but they dont

to this day I'm not sure it was a bug or an accidental use of a feature (:

it gets funnier when a single commit - commits multiple files over different branches

aw the pleasantries of svn (sorry i just couldn't help my self)

that danny b never ceases to amaze with tunes

@JoshPetrie even if its not trivial, some of the cheat engine folks get very motivated when faced with descent opposition (:

considering folks play excruciatingly difficult games without complaining - but tend to flock in droves about cheating particular elements in certain games

if people cheated a lot I've always saw it as bad design

cheat prevention only matters in multi players, stopping people who refuse to play your single player the way you want has always seemed uber arrogant to me

@Jon i agree, thats a dumb idea to begin with imho

da room is under attaks defenze it (:!

these folks had the most obscure project dev publicity

... Anyone heard any news about hivejump?

as if it doesn't on any other romance as well (:

at least most of their budget wont sink into marketing, rendering 3d bs and cgi (: they might actually focus on areas and gameplay, unlike most of us (:

@Lokkij not having to deal with a 3d world has to have some benefit

and people constantly whine about - "give me a ready to plug and play solution" - da fak you doing talking the problem?

is it just me or stack exchange has a growing intolerance to the discussion of problems

i don't want microsoft with a copy too

nsa already is going have it

meh not that interested for skype

why, what conversation would you prefer dear :) ?

we may never know :)

@MickLH you'll be fine once you flush the drama out of the system

@Jon can you seriously expect everybody to be on the same page as americans (: ?

@MickLH maybe after Jon Stewart retired ;)

@Jon is the onion even relevant any more? (I'm not a westerner so) I've always seen it as a cheap substitute for shoving your face in 3 months old swiss cheese

@Blue kinda baffling around how this still can make money today:

hi folks

I don't know the cv says she knows php html and css we will have to find out wont we :)

tell me more about it - its fascinating

"So you were wondering which of the color palette would match her toe-nails, and then you decided you wanted to make computer programs?"

someone is just bound to say

Unless the most grounded person in the company is on the interview

the only way we're not going to giggle about it was if we cut our heads off

whos former profession was whatever they call them gals working on nails in hairsalons

we got a cv of a coder

just the other day

@barbecue exactly! I'm not attempting to catch flies, thus I'm not using honey, yet they swam in chewing the vodka I used any way :) Flies said "You carry no honey you arse" i said "Above guy carried no honey either, didn't see you complain :) ?"

@PeterCordes I don't know ... My conclusion of "It seems that possessing the poor and slaves was enough for the Romans to not need harems." Looks like a fairly self explanatory speculation? Does "It seems" = It looks to me = It just looks that way, who knows how it is" really warrant a disclaimer of "Hi there folks, this really is just an opinion if in case you miss all the elements that characterize it as an opinion"? Why I don't care for sources - I've found incredible insights in the framework of thoughts even in cases where most of the facts comprising them are wrong.

@barbecue remember that old saying, offense is really taken, not given. Oh I'm sure you and others are bugged out, about me not instantly conforming to the general hypocrisy of the given area and having the gall to say that I wont. But you know - one day you learn that people who disagree with you are not necessarily out to get you :) Call me then - the whiskey will be on me.

@PeterK. Hah, I just wanted to see how many mind police trolls settled in the new SE history hub. Basic psychology, ignore something offhandedly - probably can go by unnoticed. Ignore that same thing and actually state it and watch all the ocd fireworks start bursting :) Check "Semaphore" above calling speculation a belief!? As if ANY testament on the MIND SET of an entire PEOPLES (extinct) can ever be anything more than a guess or at the best of times Empirical (still a guess). As if there exists a priori that can satisfy this question and I'm throwing random quibs at it instead.

@Mayo I can't ever imagine to have more contempt for the discipline than it does for it self. The most avid objectors to progress in both science and history have been those practitioners of it over-aggressively defending their own views. Just so the next person doesn't get credit for having better results than they did. Had any of the critics above said "You are aware that everything you said is a flat speculation?" This would have ended with a "Yes I do" from me. Instead they went to pile on it like little children pretending that a rationalized tantrum is some greater aspiration logic.

But hey at least the amount of bias is fun. The answer above me lacked any reference as well - but didn't get as much ocd demotion as this one did. Whatever answer is given to this question - will always be a speculation.

Not to mention that if you've focused on anything but my refusal for citations you'd have noticed I base the opinion on ideas that are mostly of commonplace agreement about the romans. Such as slaves, little sexual inhibition, orgies etc. How much sexual inhibition do you exactly expect from a culture that often provides public baths with no gender division. Compare that to today's culture that creates social disturbances on debates whether or not to teach children what a penis is in school, and instead is so saturated with bullshit, easy access porn and booming sexual ineptitude in youth.

But then you can be a westerner than can only engage in a consideration only if its authority based. As if authority information has any obligation to accuracy any more than the average person speaking. Also no one is asking you to take anything. People take what they want, its about having perspective variety. And I am a game designer, I could care less what the popular mantra in academia is about the romans. God knows how entirely dependent various academics are on people believing their speculations are more credible than the next person's.

Or I've lived long enough to know most history is too speculative to bother hand feeding facts to a thread that is speculative to begin with. Most people cant testify accurately to events they experiences 5 days ago but would claim to be versed in the intricacies of cultures extinct for quite long enough. So yeah what I've said is an opinion formed on my knowledge of the romans. Holocaust-deniers? I've seen the bones and even with them, a lot of people use them to build all kinds of speculations as well.
