Okay, I admit that I really don't know what I'm talking about. But my point about subjective opinions is still valid.
Definitions aside, human evolution is not proven. I am aware that evolution has been observed in some organisms, and that it is currently the most likely explanation. But it is not concrete.
I love how people are trying to wield evolution as fact. It's a theory for a reason, people - it cannot be proved using our current resources and scientific knowledge. Therefore it should be considered as a possibility, not a fact.
On the other hand, we have Tito referencing a book that, until proven otherwise, is a work of fiction. Amazingly credible source there. And no, I am not an atheist.
In creating a thread such as this, you won't get any real responses. All you'll get are a bunch of subjective opinions. (Although I think this is exactly what the thread creator was aiming for: Internet arguments.)
I propose that all life was created with magic. I cite the Harry Potter series as a reference.

Does it really look like a completed website to you?
Good enough for me. I vote for that too.

No extensions on this one, fellas.
I've seen the map, and Jeff got it pretty right ;o

They're talking about web applications, which any OS can already run in the first place. I don't know how extreme it will be, but it seems as if Google is trying to remove desktop applications entirely. Which, of course, is problematic, especially since they're targeting netbooks, which might not always have an internet connection.
Holy misinformation, Batman!
Firstly:
Firstly:
It's based on the Linux kernel, meaning that it will NOT run Windows applications, any better than Linux currently does.Anyway, cool. I assume they'll make it so every software that's designed for Windows will work under chrome OS.If you read it you would know that's true
Finally, we have a realistic option for operating system.Jumping the gun a little? It's basically another distro of Linux, much like Ubuntu. Nothing to see here.
Maybe we shouldn't even worry about Windows 7.
Chrome may kill Windows once and for all.
Standard 32bit systems run 4GB just fine, I am right now...32-bit XP supports maximum 4GB memory including video memory and any additional memory floating around, like integrated video cards, for example. Most installs of XP max out at around 3.5GB. 64-bit supports much more than 4GB, but Windows puts a limit on to make the user upgrade to a more expensive version to use more RAM. The hardware doesn't change anything, so the fact that a computer setup runs 24GB of RAM ultimately doesn't mean anything.
64bit is for when you want 8GB, although I guess the Alienware "ALX X58" can run up to 24GB so... but it is an Alienware.
Man, it looks like Google wants to be another Microsoft!I think Google is the polar opposite of Microsoft. While MS wants to keep everything on the desktop, Google wants everything in the browser.
Yeah it keeps booting me off so I stopped trying.
Well this is turning out to be a great competition.
Any suggestions on competitions that ARE fun? It's kinda annoying only getting one or two entries each time

You're installing Steam from the HL2 CD? That's 5 years old, man. Grab the Steam Client from the website. It's 1.5MB.
Well I wouldn't know either of those things 
I'll just keep calling him Elvis zombie anyway.

That's an Elvis zombie :/
It keeps disconnecting me randomly :/
Is the lag better or worse for Source when connecting from the other side of the world?
Not working.

Just wait until it starts counting backwards!
Trying to edit using the 3D view would suck. You have no control over which two dimensions it resizes in
Sigh
Minefield is the codename for any nightly version of Firefox (as in, compiled from the daily source code changes). So, vs49688, you ARE using Firefox.

To whoever likes Opera because of the wand tool, there's about a million Firefox add-ons that do the same thing (and probably better.)
I don't like the idea so I couldn't recommend one, but they're around.
But whatever. People will always have favourite browsers that work best for them.

I think you're confusing Firefox with Opera.
Why does it have to be different physically? 3.5 has some stability and memory use fixes, faster javascript engine, more HTML5 support, private browsing, etc etc. If every new version had to have a major, noticeable change, then it wouldn't be very user friendly, in terms of consistency.
You guys suck.
"Be a hero!", you said.
Where did that get you? DEAD. THAT'S WHERE.

Hahaha, Strider.
I never liked the guy. He was annoyingly creepy and I couldn't care less about his music.

This guy is already screwed anyway, trying to be a hero. What an idiot!

Try running The Compilator in admin mode.
Golden Sun will always be the best RPG.
Oh, Wikipedia says that it's in Australia too. I've never heard of it. Also, lulz:
Despite its theme, Outback Steakhouse serves American cuisine, with Creole influences.So just another thing pretending to be Australian. Also, it'd be difficult to find a place in Australia with boomerangs and shit on the walls (that isn't a tourist joint.)
Internet is split into two states: East and West. They are connected by The Information Superhighway, the largest and most violent bridge known to man.
Is that like a chain restaurant in the US? If so, we don't get it here.
Someone fix up the overlapping that's happening with the words in the top left corner. Maybe redo the last few in a smaller font?
Next person please save as PNG, GIF is a terrible format.
Once they're all done I'll go and change them all if I remember.
I tested the intro map - when the map changed, I was stuck and couldn't move. Jumping straight to the second map worked, though. Also, the first map is pointless and silly, as Valve has nothing to do with the mod itself. Either remove the whole map, or remove the humungous "VALVE" billboard and replace it with something more TWHL-y.
Yes, you can block off areas after the player has gone through them if it helps with gameplay. Just make sure that it isn't blocked off to start with.
I have an account, and I know Strider does, too.

Dithering is sooo 1993.
@Tawnos: a GIF? Seriously?
None of the layout needs to fit exact, you can change the outlines as much as you want.

Not sure where to get the wallpapers though.

Oh, I was talking about the white boxes at the top when I told Grim to change his mind. Anything filled with colour shouldn't be walkable.
No, it doesn't matter.
I think you'll have some trouble getting it to work in 2008 edition. If you can't get it to work, try Visual Studio 6.
Nice idea, but I don't like the copy-paste aspect of it. Try to write the code yourself if the explanations are good enough, you'll learn much more.
I know a decent amount of stuff about OpenGL and SDL myself so feel free to ask if you're on IRC or something.
You could also take a look at 2D Boy's Rapid Prototyping Framework, which already has done the engine for you.

^ This is what happens when kraken uses sarcasm incorrectly.
Possibly you're right. I probably should have mentioned the installed user-base instead. Natal or Sony's motion thing won't really kick off that much, I think, because Nintendo did it first. And usually the case is that if you get in first, it doesn't matter if somebody does it better.
