Stfu, you're joking around whilst the poor guy doesn't know what's going on.
Really though, this topic should be split so we can discuss God's omnipotence B-)

and its all this "drama" that will one day end renegade...

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.

No! Let's not split the topic. This side discussion of "omnipotence" perfectly shows that theists can only debate a topic they are comfortable with. Why and how? Easy: when debating "omnipotence" theists don't have to deal with the hard parts, ie, is this god even real in the first place? are the literary works that they base their stupid assumptions on within sound reason? Are they uniform in providing a homogeneous data source about the "god" in question? Are the authors of these works confirmed and identified and reliable individuals? And most importantly, what is the seniority level of the religion compared with other competing religions?
Oh not at all; the main question ignores all these PREREQUISITES and so, it makes no sense to discuss the "omnipotence" of ANY god in the first place. And since theists are never asked to show these preliminary requisites, they take great pleasure in wallowing in their delusional bullshit like they are doing here in a mediocre subtopic. Then again, that's what theists are good at: spinning bullshit.

Contradictory? I don't want to discuss homosexuality with an attitude like yours. Simple as that, buddy.
Simply, nobody can see whether or not you're right (and I do say either of us could be) because of all of your flaunting of how "in the right" you are and how we are all "a bunch of closed-minded bigots".
Maybe when you learn to "debate" and not "flame and taunt" you might get people willing to discuss it on your preferred level. Until then... 
|
If your excuse to not defend your postition was because I butthurt you, then your are lying (not surprising since its you) thru your teeth as you could have just as easily responded to Spoony or NukeIt15.
anyway:
Starbuzzz: Here's my stand and here are the reasons to back it up soundly.
Altzan: I am insulted by the way you said it and so won't reply. also I maybe right too!
so there you have it everyone, the entire debate is dogma vs reason; on the side of reason, one side has offered concrete reasoning to back up their assertions meticulously. On the side of dogma and despite faced with decimating irrefutable reason, a vile indoctrinated individual can just throw up his hands in the air and say he is still right without offering any rebuttal.
We are perfectly convinced now.

Quote me where I said I support those laws. Go on.

This coming from someone who said a few months back that not setting up such laws and agreeing to them is "partaking/aiding in such sin." I blame this on either dishonesty or poor memory.
|
I'm not surprised in the least. Honestly, what ISN'T to blame for all of the things you despise?

You can't draw a square circle. That's not a paradox, that's just nonsensical. But an item has weight; it can weigh so much one cannot lift it or it can weigh so little that anyone can. A heavy item is not nonsense.
|
Sure it isn't nonsense. Expecting a non-physical being to "be able to lift a rock or not" is nonsense.
|
No, it's not considering this is the same "non-physical being" that had to:
-rest on the 7th day after 6 days of shooting out lame one-liners (1 lame one-liner a day).
-feel the need to walk in the garden in the cool of the day
-screw up the human language because he was scared shitless of humans unitedly building a tower to reach him in the clouds and kicking his ass
-send down "chariots of fire" to pick up VIP's (Elijah)
Most often, he was probably some kind of lame alien with obvious limitations. "Omnipresent" and "omnipotent" were words that theologians grabbed and zealously attached to their god. They failed.
ps: read your bible without skipping a single verse.

Not hate, what he means is that whenever a scientific discovery is made, it is backed up with evidence and proof of the phenomenon.
Many things have gone from ideas and theories to scientific law after evidence was found to support the claims. This has happened hundreds of thousands of times throughout the history of man kind.
However, the existence of God has forever remained a theory; since the day the idea of God was conceived up to even now.

Also, I just want to point out, I'm not trying do support or deny the existence of God. I apologist if that's the impression you might have gotten. I'm just being objective; makes for better conversation.

Thanks, R3. Yeah, that's what I said; obviously he is a fundamentalist and so he's not gonna get that. Sadly understandable though.

There was a time when my religious brainwashing was at its total peak (18-20 yrs) that I would zealously demonize anything I didn't agree with. There were times when I would be flipping thru the TV channels and momentarily watch Discovery or History channel and would see some documentary about the Big Bang or anything about the universe. I would burn with hate, curse out loud, and change or turn off the TV.
It's crazy what indoctrination could do to a person; makes them blind hateful ignorant fucks.

lol changing the subject considering I am the one trying to be on-topic. You have yet to yet to offer a valid argument as to why homosexuality has to banned, how are they hurting you personally, why it will be end of the world (lol), and why laws should be made to keep them buckled down. Everyone here has offered meticulous arguments as to why that should not be the case. You dismissed all that as "hate-babble" (showing your fundamentalist upbringing in a intolerant throughly outdated dogma by parents/church) while dishonestly citing "insults" as why you won't reply. Yeah, we believe you will totally refute all the arguments. NOT.

Discussing a issue in a heated exchange is the least of a problem when one side wants to codify their views as laws with everyone obligated to obey them. Now THAT, is a real problem (re: voter guide). Read what you are saying...so which side is being obnoxious? Your statement falls apart as we are always willing to make compromises IF it is fair and just to everyone; those of faith find this unfulfilling.

Does every gay person agree to that? I will post that around in gay community forums and will be getting back to you on that. Whole chunks of it sounded unfair to me (a hetrosexual); if it was one gay person's request, then fine by me.
In addition, you said some really stupid stuff that was rebuked as well.

If religions of any sort offend somebody, they are indeed selfish in my mind. People can believe what they want, and I'm fine with it. It's when people start pushing certain religions that it gets offensive. I was born a religious person, but slowly began to turn atheist, and though I was never converted or anything, I no longer believe in hell, god, heaven, or any high being for that matter. Who cares if gays are in the military anyway? So long as they don't start molesting or raping anybody, what's the issue anyway?

It would be better to have hetrosexual men and homosexual women. That way we reach a compromise with a large army (with only homosexuals, the army wouldn't be big enough), and we also get to keep pinup chicks, AND there's no chances of people being distracted.

Watching gay people having gay sex doesn't make you gay. So far, the only two ways to become gay are to either be born that way, or to make a conscious choice to engage in a homosexual lifestyle.

I've known people that have turned gay in the presence of other gay people...
R3, I think the point about the square circle was that it is logically impossible to draw one, just as it's logically impossible to lift an object created so that it couldn't be lifted...

Really though, this topic should be split so we can discuss God's omnipotence B-)
|
No! Let's not split the topic. This side discussion of "omnipotence" perfectly shows that theists can only debate a topic they are comfortable with. Why and how? Easy: when debating "omnipotence" theists don't have to deal with the hard parts, ie, is this god even real in the first place? are the literary works that they base their stupid assumptions on within sound reason? Are they uniform in providing a homogeneous data source about the "god" in question? Are the authors of these works confirmed and identified and reliable individuals? And most importantly, what is the seniority level of the religion compared with other competing religions?
No, it's not considering this is the same "non-physical being" that had to:
-rest on the 7th day after 6 days of shooting out lame one-liners (1 lame one-liner a day).
-feel the need to walk in the garden in the cool of the day
-screw up the human language because he was scared shitless of humans unitedly building a tower to reach him in the clouds and kicking his ass
-send down "chariots of fire" to pick up VIP's (Elijah)
Most often, he was probably some kind of lame alien with obvious limitations. "Omnipresent" and "omnipotent" were words that theologians grabbed and zealously attached to their god. They failed.
ps: read your bible without skipping a single verse.

Actually theists didn't start this side-topic... it was R3
Those references from the bibles would probably be considered as metaphors by Christians, I doubt they believe that God needed to rest on the 7th day...
Your last line here is important though, because:

Discuss.

People are always going to view things from their prospective, that's not easy to change. But if you are going to be obnoxious it helps if you know what you're talking about (ie:know everything about your religion)

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.

Never said they did, did I? Just that they like debating it cos its a easy topic to wallow in. I can just as easily start a topic discussing the powers of Shiva; then again the Christian theists here will beg the same preliminary questions I asked them above.

That can be refuted. One of the may things we could say is "God said it so we should make it law".
please don't take that path. If god "said it", there must have been a good reason for him to say "it". for example Muslims don't drink alcohol. This is because it is intoxicating to the brain.
Pleads dont flame.
Edit: so yeah, carrier is probably right, you'd have to be obnoxious to assume your God is right

Nearly, to assume your God is right is fine.
To forcibly tell others that your God, or lack thereof, is right (and by implication, that their's, if they have a God, is wrong) is obnoxious.
To try to make your God's word law is obnoxious in the extreme.
Edit: Corrected for balance. Thanks for indicating, Altzan.
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Supporters of Proposition 8 will argue California does not discriminate against gays, as the current law allows them to get married - as long as they wed a partner of the opposite sex.

That, or lack thereof, as you stated before.
