My last Ctrl-C  And... Axis Inc. is a corp I've founded for an independent game in development called "Infinity: The Quest for Earth" (www.fl-tw.com). Its an MMO space sim with no skills or levels, all twitch-based play. The galaxy is procedurally generated, and contains over 100,000,000,000 (100 billion) unique, persistent, full-scale star systems which are all visitable. You can land on planets, moons or other celestial bodies seamlessly, with no load time, straight from orbit. And the graphics really are just stunning. Here's a video showing the seamless transition from space to planet.(Here is a higher resolution file that lets you see how truley stunning the graphics are)Here's a video of an older version of the Combat Prototype (not the full game, not a beta, not even an alpha, just a test of some of the combat features).(And another high-res download)A page with a lot of good media and info.And Screenshots!:     (That's my baby, the Flamberge class Dreadnought. I designed her and had another guy model her. One of the biggest ships so far.)     Ok, enough of that for now. |

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song.

When reading a novel or short story, the techniques that build up the story line can dramatically influence the way we respond as readers. We respond in different ways depending on different values, beliefs etc that we have based our life around or have been influenced to. In this way, novels and short stories not only offer us their world, but an influenced version of our own.
The main techniques used to construct both novels and short stories are Characters, Setting, Point of View, Plot, Themes and Symbols. All these techniques combine to influence the way we as readers respond to the text.
^^ Ahhh... stupid English homework!!! ^^

Indeed...but this would be all-in-one. And while the chances of losing a wallet or key or ID or credit card may be unfavorably high by comparison to the chances of losing a cell phone, I've yet to see a broken wallet or ID cause the level of suffering incurred by a dropped cellphone.

If I ever get a enough time to type it up, I will explain exactly why I decided to quit believing in God (which actually had nothing to do with anger) and became a free-thinker.

A locker search is simply the act of opening a locker and looking through its contents. Depending on the state, administration may choose to search one, several or all lockers. The search may begin when a drug dog indicates that there may be some contraband such as drugs in the locker, when a student reports concern of what another student may have in his locker, or when the administration calls for a random search.

Definitions of Technocrat on the Web: An advocate of technocracy, an anticapitalistic fallacy that was popular in the depression days of the early 1930's.
