Lets think outside the box here. How about a fall under very low gravity? Or if you don't touch the ground until after you've fallen 1000m?
How much time until the fall? Time enough to call someone to put a big cushion at the right spot? Any possibility to maneuver the fall so as to catch something that slows down the fall without injuring you mortally?
Let's still assume that mugg's question pertained to real life physics and a scenario where under normal circumstances, a fatal splash with solid surface would be imminent.
Any possibility to sacrifice one's limbs for cushioning the fall to protect the vital parts of the body?
Satisfied with living permanently in a timeloop of the entire fall without ever crashing, a savestate always being loaded?

For this kind of questions, I found that one turn-based physics-engine ragdoll fight game whosenameIdontrememberrightnow very promising, though ultimately a letdown.

editoriallllll: my italics tag and color tag are misbehaving. those tricksters!
^^^official bug report.
In HTML (well, at least XHTML), tags must always be properly nested, i.e. <i> italic <b> italicbold </i> justbold </b> is non-conforming markup. BBCode inherits this restriction.
Not a bug.

Well, it isn't exactly a tasvideo torrent I want to seed. It's a torrent file I created. It said to start seeding the file so others can download it.
Well, if you are seeding it and you are indicated a 0 kbps upload speed, there are three choices:
― Nobody wants to download it ― can't help it
― Nobody who wants to download it knows about it ― you created the torrent yourself and you haven't publicized your torrent file (such as by uploading it to ThePirateBay or somewhere else)
― Your Internet connection cannot upload due to nazi firewall settings either by a misguided ISP or a misconfigured hardware of yours

I could probably get TASVideos T-shirts pressed through Mikebon and distributed worldwide through Suomikauppa -- Suomikauppa is a daughter company of where I work at, and they use Mikebon's services a lot.
This option has been open for several years already. The problem is that there's no T-shirt designer with us, and that I have no idea about the expenses this would incur and/or how to get the ball rolling...

They went through the trouble to duplicate the animation and AI for the enemies at a credible resemblance, but still failed to duplicate Megaman's jumpcurves and walking speed?
It _always_ strikes my eye and bothers me when a supposed clone games fails to duplicate the jumpcurves and walking speed properly.
For example, in the numerous "Super Mario Bros. 5" pirate games etc.

The features would have to be: the ability to load a save state by file name
Doesn't something like Savestate.load(File.open('gruu.sav', 'r').read())
and conversely, File.open('gruu.sav', 'w').write(Savestate.save()), work in LUA?

Chrome and Windows-Firefox have had no problem with it.
X11-Firefox has had lots of CPU-usage problems with Luigi, therefore I have disabled in on user-agents professing X11.
Haven't tested Opera. If Windows-Opera is also inflicted, I'll just disable it alltogether.

CSS supports non-repeating background images (and the non-repeating flag can be set for the horizontal and vertical separately). It should be fairly trivial to set it up as thus.
Sure... but it would also halt the gradient. I find the repeating logo a lesser evil than an abruptly cutting background gradient would be.
Sure, could be fixed by removing the logo from the gradient and instead displaying it using a dedicated html tag, but I am not bothering.

Bisqwit, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck in whatever you do in the future. I truly think you are this community's greatest asset.
This really belongs in the "new site layout" thread, but I'll just ask it here since it was briefly mentioned in the first post. For future reference, where is the donate page now? I can't find it anymore, but that's probably just my fault.
Thanks for the feedback.
the donation page url still works, but I removed links to it since I don't consider it fair to keep them if I'm about to have it hosted by someone else. if you want to use it, I can PM you the link or Google-search might still find it.
If I can get the security issues sorted out, I can continue hosting the main site + forums. (But the tracker and the image server could still easily be moved. (Well, the image server only after the API is created to it.)) It's really only the development & admin tasks that I'm concerned of with regards to the amount of my time that it needs.

Well, he contacted me, and I answered several questions of his, and he seems to have used most of it in the article.
And he tried to contact Andrewg as well, though Andrewg's reply came too late.

I'm acting lazy so I went ahead and granted Baxter the access to promote and demote movies as special stars. In addition, admins such as Adelikat and DeHackEd have this privilege and have had that for a long time already.
(This doesn't mean I want him to be a dictator with regards to the starred movie question; he should still listen to the opinions of people :P)

Well, consider your position for a while. You're not a peer to God.

(Proverbs chapters 11, 13, 16)
God does not want to beat people to submission. But he does not compromise his laws. He may be merciful ― anything you quoted was more merciful than the destruction of the entire nation that would probably have been the "right" punishment for not keeping the law ― but he doesn't say "oh, have it your way. I'm going home".
It's not like the law is whimsical, and that keeping it was a burden. Do read also about the blessings he promised if they keep the law. Sure, all lawmakers say "it's for your own good", but with God, who are you to judge him?
(And if you now start saying "but the laws were inventions of the people, there's no God", who are you then angry at?)

Encoding status: 3 passes done, 4 more to go
Recorded this movie with Direct64 plugin or whatever, the one that does emulate fog. No further concerns.
Movie did sync.

Biologically, not a whole not.
If you want to stop there, do so.
In the bigger picture, God created the human distinctly from the rest of the creation, and has continued to treat us specially from ever since.[1]

Actually, I think I will turn my OT comment into a question. Do you have any "Great finish writers of the XXth century"? Shakespeare is English, and is known throughout the world (I believe). Any Finnish writers that are famous inside Finland's borders?
Aleksis Kivi is quite famous -- and actually the only person from this list that is famous enough that I know what they wrote.
The list of Finnish composers is significantly longer.
Jean Sibelius is arguably the best known world-wide. Particularly every Japanese person I've met seems to know about him. Ironically, his name isn't very Finnish.
