It's "Prophesied" not "Prophesized".

With an experience index of 4.6, I don't see why you can't run anything pre-2007 at least.

As most of the thread has pointed out, just find a fanfic somewhere and odds are very much in favour of it being terrible. Fanfic dot net [http://www.fanfiction.net/] has hundreds of thousands of fanfics for Harry Potter alone. You get the usual problems there: all the Sues you can think of...

I guess that makes one of us, at least. Sounds like you know a lot more about the script than I do - which is easy because I know next to nothing about it and (if I'm honest) care even less. I do, however, care about English, so please watch this video...

First sale doctrine so far has meant that EA can do nothing about the used game market apart from lock users out of multiplayer and all the rest. However, the recent (as in, like, a week ago) case Vernor vs. Autodesk, Inc. [http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2010/09/10/09-35969.pdf]...

Yahzee, it's "prophesy", not "prophesize".

Neither, it's the Roman author Vegetius. "si vis pacem, para bellum"

Couldn't have said it better myself. Even cancelling the project would hardly free up any money. Now if only the government would stop wasting money on PFI... Out of curiosity, is this the same Greepeace that's opposing the ITER programme because it's "a dangerous toy which will never...

To be fair, the tea-drinking stereotype has some truth to it. We do after all consume the second-highest amount of tea per head in the whole world, after Turkey (bizarrely).

Could someone please post the link where they explain that upon releasing this movie all copies of the Death Note manga, anime and original Japanese movies will be burned on a bonfire and all digital copies scrubbed from the world's hard drives? I must have missed it. I can think of no other...

Sorry... what? You think there'll be a new Halo animation because the animation style changed about one minute into a Halo Legends scene? Also, your P.S. section seems to be a case of methinks thou doth protest too much.

Oh now you're just taking the piss. Everyone knows Vampire Steve died last week. I see now. Well, I'm not entirely sure where the disagreement lies since you haven't really contradicted me with that. Carry on, I guess.

Sorry, you lost me. By that quote, I was trying to differentiate between scientific and theological advancements and that was it. If you want to get a doctorate, you actually have to actively further scientific knowledge in some way, so imagine what a career dedicated to it would achieve. I...

Theoretically, my friend, theoretically. Yes, Mendel's work on inheritance was ignored, but information was much harder to spread back then. I'm afraid I don't know enough about Chardin to comment on what he did though. And so what if science can't define justice? Hell, define "meaningful"...

EDIT: Aaargh, this thread is moving too fast for me to keep up. Because, ultimately, a person could theoretically train to be in a position where they can indeed verify many of the great scientific discoveries but no matter how many years you spend as a priest or any other kind of religious...
