Well, the reason I think English is the "best" language is because it sounds best. It's also more fun to speak because of that. Finnish is logical but the downside is the long words. German and Chinese probably have the longest and most complex words, but Chinese has some useful things that are not present in other languages.

yes, hopefully in the future we will have much shorter words. english already has pretty short words compared to other languages. but for example the word "before" could be reduced to just two letters: b4. there are tons of words that could be made shorter.
i found this comment on utube, the guy is pretty angry, but it has many good examples of short words:
"ur a fat fuk hed man u r a big fukn nerd hu has no life and wants to sit on ur ass all day and nite and do nuthin wit ur life ur a fuk hed and r u having a shower ur an idiot fuk hed and hu cares f they dont hav mario that is 4 NINTENDO dik hed not microsoft"
this comment would be much longer if the words were written correctly. the lack of punctuation makes it a little hard to read though.

Yes, that can be a little annoying sometimes. But I think that writing it the correct way (dying) is also annoying, because it makes no sense. It's more intuitive to write "dieing".
There are several annoying things in the English language that make no sense, but it (American, not English) is still the best language. Finnish is the language that makes most sense.
I think this sounds best, so I would probably write like that even if it was wrong.

USA is the best country in the world. my bro is going there too, but in august. it might be fun to be there, but i don't know what i would do there.
i don't like laptops because the battery only lasts for a few minutes. if it would last 500 hours, i would consider buying one. i heard that they've made a discovery that will make the battery last for 40 hours or so, but it's still not enough for me. hopefully the oilcompanies will allow free energy machines soon.

lul, a "route demonstration" is faster than this TAS?
Though I wonder if a TAS of this game will be much faster than an ordinary console run since TAS has disadvantages like the pause delay and reset-is-not-allowed-yet. A TAS should probably go below 1h though.
most of this run is cutscenes. it would probably be around 10 minutes long without them ehehehhehehehheheh.

the weird thing is that it's only new containers such as mkv and mp4 which are slow. my computer is 5 years old and i use mpc with ffdshow. i can play a 1920x1080 h.264 avi but not a mkv at that resolution (it lags a lot). that doesn't really matter though since i only have 1024x768 screen resolution.

Ben Stein has recently released a creationist documentary called "Expelled: no intelligence allowed". Here's his opinion on science: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k216F3HJt84

yes, i think we're actually waiting for the countdown of doomsday bomb that will destroy the universe. but if we're lucky, it will only destroy our galaxy.
i used to be against the idea of physical time travel because some theosophist said that it's impossible, but after reading john titor (a soldier from the future) talk about the CERN and micro blackholes, i'm not sure what to believe. when he was here year 2000 he said that they discovered micro singularities at CERN year 2004 (in his timeline) which made time travel possible. because he came here it "messed up our timeline" a little, so it took us a few more years.

It was my dad who gave birth to me, my mom just made me grow larger.
I wonder though... was it really my father who gave birth to me? It's more like... I was just transferred to his body because of something he ate.

ehehhehehehhe, that's ok, you don't have to believe me if you don't want to. i just wanted to tell you because i think it's interesting.
well... if there were not parallel timelines, there would be paradoxes, for example if i would go back in time and kill my parents so that i'm never born.
edit: fixd it mozooh. the point is... i could actually travel into the past and kill "me" but that wouldn't be me, just an identical person
men are more agressive than women, they are more animal than women because they have more hair. (not true)

you couldn't change the history of this universe, only the history of the parallel universe you go to. it would be impossible to travel back in time and stay in the same universe/timeline because the fact that you go there makes that universe different from this.
the pyramids (the big ones) were not built using slaves or muscles. there are pyramids in many places because when the sons of god (the giants) had to leave their homeland (which was about to get destroyed), they had to build them to store their equipment, like the 'ark of the covenant' as it's called in the bible.
yes, humans will be on earth for many millions of years. how long has this humankind been on earth? maybe 7,000 years... so imagine our technology after 700,000 years. when you think about that, it's no wonder how the ancients could build those pyramids, even without "technology". they had been here a very long time.

i don't think there's any other difference there, at least if we talk about the american english, which is the only one that matters, because it sounds best and more people speak that. they should teach that in schools instead of the weird english.
the way english is written should be updated though. there are so many unnecessary letters in words. for example in the word "before", you could reduce it to "b4". the th sound could be replaced with a new letter so you don't have to write two letters every time. etc.
it's easy. when there's one u you pronounce it like the u in the word pronounce and when there's two u's, you pronounce it like the oo in the word moon.
but look at the english language, it's even crazier, because there's completely unrelated words that are pronounced exactly the same, like the words wood and would.

It's supernatural selection. Most creationists accept natural selection and microevolution... they don't go against the ID theory.
I think Ray is joking a little about the banana, but he's also half serious.

I don't get any error message in Goldeneye, but when I start a level I don't see anything, it's all black, though it flickers a little sometimes when I move. Could it be my graphics card that sucks? Well, at least I got to see a few microseconds of that sky.
