You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.  :wink:

But, if you're wanting to use a scientific term like "emperical," then you need to use the term correctly.

That's why I brought up "graphical designer."  Not to say that you are a designer, but as an example that you can't use that term for what you were intending.

Thank you, and shut up.

Bite me. Before you tell me how to use the word empirical, don't use an imaginary word like graphical when you mean graphic. It's more ironical than I can handle in the morning.

That's not irony, that's just stupidity.  Stop fucking up the dictionary, Law.  Merriam and Webster are going to come for you if you're not careful.

Graphical is a not-often used variant of graphic. They're both right. All of you, shut up. This conversation is officially over.

LOL!  I didn't know Xolik was multi-classed!

I had a pretty good idea of the alignment though... ;)

Ok, so is this going to be round two?

I missed this thread the first time.  I laughed when I got to the part about if anything exciting happens here.  I thought this thread was pretty exciting.


I'm excited anyway.  I need a cold shower.

welcome new guy.



and macs don't really suck, per se, they just aren't the most useful things on the planet.  Kinda like the plastic thing in the pizza box, or a 28.8 kbps modem.

Or that thing that used to show up on the desktop after every Windows 98 installation, "Microsoft Briefcase".

What was up with that?  :lol:

That, along with the inevitable "Online Services" folder (which always appeared anyway even though I always chose not to install it :roll: ), and the stupid shortcut to "Outlook Express" always end up in the Recycle Bin in the first 30 seconds after the first reboot in any installation of 95/98.

And right after that the "do not move files to the recycle bin, remove files immediately when deleted" box gets checked on the Recycle Bin properties window.  

I fricken hate deleting stuff only to find it still being stored in some stupid "deleted items" folder.   :x

Try installing Norton System Works and having it setup a new folder to "protect" files sent to the recycle bin. So even if you choose to delete files instead of sending them to the bin, Norton still saves them for seven days. Feh.
