Read the idiotic comments by some conservative politicians lol:
| Quote: |
This is "an imposition of somebody's social agenda," said Rep. Todd Akin, R-Missouri. It's an "eclipse of reason, an eclipse of common sense."
|
I wonder whose "social agenda" it was to make this into law in the first place?
| Quote: |
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California. This is "a liberal crusade to create a utopia."
|
And someone tell me how is it wrong to try to remake our shit society into something where everyone can be amicable towards each other? Liberal crusade to create a utopia...wow these folks are blinded by their sheer arrogance.

I was reading a couple days ago, that Russian intelligence still uses 'Honey Traps' as they remain the most effective method of seducing, and extracting information from hapless dudes.
Repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell would be a huge national security advantage for the US. Once the military knows who bats for the same team, those people can be the ones entrusted with sensitive information, and would be impossible to seduce, thus ruining fifty years of cold war expertise on the part of the Russians.
Best part of all! Russian dudes are fucking ugly. No way they'd be able seduce dudes on our home team.

the argument against christians serving in the military is a lot stronger than the argument against homosexuals serving in the military, and yet nobody says christians can't serve in the military.

Lol.
As far as the thread goes though, I never understood why it is considered 'bad' to be a homosexual... in any context. Someone want to elaborate that for me?
|
It is against God's will. Please think before you post, sinner.

A question regarding RenGuard. Because it's a client/server application, what will stop the legions of people who cheat, and can crack apps, from reverse engineering it down to it's core protocol / encryption (which I'll assume it has), and duplicating it, so that they have their own client which responds to the server with all the correct info for an unpatched Renegade, but in fact is patched.
Personally, I think you should write a server-side only anti-cheat, which hooks the networking routines in Renegade. From there, using either the help of your staff who worked on creating Renegade, or from knowledge aquired while working with the network code in Renegade, create a system to monitor hit locations (did they REALLY hit, based on calculations by the anti-cheat (stopping BH)), how much damage are they claiming, vs how much damage their currently selected weapon really does, etc.
Then, add rate-of-fire checking, complete w/ lag tolerance (since lagged client will of course, upon delag, seem to fire faster, etc), and option to simply "edit" the incoming packets, to filter out the cheat (reduce damage, stop bullets, etc), or kick-ban the cheater (admins decision, based on anti cheat config).
Is it just me, or does that make more sense?
The flaw to Renegade of course, which is the core to the cheats, is that unlike most other games, Renegade lets the CLIENT decide hit locations, damage, RoF, etc. Vs others which say, "ok, the client fired their pistol along this trajectory. Did they hit something? How much damage did they do to that target if so. Report findings to clients".
My only concern, is that there will be alot more teams of people ripping apart the hard work of your small team, and undoing what you have done. Can you keep up writing fixes / completely rewriting the protocol to counter them once they have created their OWN complete anti-RenGuard client? If not, consider the server-side only method, and solve it once and for all, with the only version changes being to fix bugs, and not complete rewrites which will really piss admins off (if it takes this long for the initial, how long after the cheaters create their own client to counter it will your rewrite take to do?).

ill say this again to all the TT people actually working on the patch. all you have to do is fix the bugs in the game. This is your role. dont get involved in a pointfix debate that you can never win (spoony has never managed to win one and hes a decent player) nor bother suggesting solutions for the faults in pointfix. just fix the damn bugs and you will all be remmebered as renegade heroes.

I should indicate that despite the normal quality of posting from certain individuals who have posted in this topic, I do believe they are being intentionally humorous, and succeeding!
(TL;DR: Nothing in here is flaming nor trolling, yet)

That's what trolling is... haha.

If God can do anything, can he create something so incredibly heavy that not even he can lift?

Wow, what a test of intelligence that question is. I hope it isn't one that you frequent when arguing your case for atheism.
You got trolled, and you're not very smart. Me > Your feelings of superiority resulting from your lack of faith < your stupidity.
FYI I'm atheist too.

Renegade is the most unique game ever. It's so easy to troll fags in forums, public servers, etc. it's ridiculous. That's why I was part of clanwars, because after all the trash talking and bitching at least people aren't morons or stupidly gullible.

That depends upon whether you believe that god can do the logically impossible or not.
It wouldn't be unreasonable to answer that by saying yes, he could, but we wouldn't be able to understand how. But then... Yep, I though we were talking about homosexuals in the army?
Btw if god was going to make something too heavy for him to lift, it would probably be a chain.
