nope im just curious abt what sort of people play these games....
not that im trying to add RL aspects into SF, (in fact i LOVE SF..been a fan of star wars and stuff for a long time) ....
i'm jus... curious... lol
biology fascinated me more....
parents showed me a human dissection when i was 6 lol
u majored in bio and now u're doing programming? hmmm...
so what u working as now? lol

Programming? Bah! I don't program!
I do multimedia work . . . which is a Hell of a lot more interesting than dentistry, which is what I originally went to school for. Though I can't really remember ever being serious about it, which is why I've chosen to believe that I did it as some sort of dare . . .
Anyway, thats what i need to become a Civil Engineer.. Computer Civil Engineer even..
Got my MCSA, going for MCSE. Fun stuff (yeah right <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Computer techie guy all the way.
/me watches his house build him a samich
Undecided on which major... leaning towards declaring for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
I'd like to do my MCSE etc etc, but I don't have the cash. Or the time. Or the time AND cash <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
So I'm stuck doin basic support, trying to get a decent job doing it.
AND I WANT TO lol

This does not require a very high level of education. Evolution I learned in my 7th year (though I must admit I found it quite boring, hence I might've missed something). Read more about it a few years ago.

Perhaps i should haf removed the word "concept".
LOL I meant the nitty gritty details. .
I haven't done hard-core phy for some time so ive forgotten stuff abt nanotech, but evolution i meant understand how it WORKS. (like know the material on alleles(BTW how do u pronounce tt? I hear diff pronunciations all the time), inheritance, RNA/DNA structure n synthesis, blah blah blah)
I was more of referring to the stuff of higher end science, not really the things u pick up here and there... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Well, Darwin has one theory, that's mighty hard to prove but seems sound nonetheless. And thats called.... NATURAL SELECTION!!!! (fires up HL for another 6 hour session).
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->I'm a bit surprised no one came up with that earlier (I blame the church for that one).<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Came up with that earlier in this thread or before Darwin?
If it's the latter, we must be aware that in the past people were really...erm...stUbborn? (remember how they put Gallileo under house arrest for suggesting that the earth revolved ard the sun?) I guess no one really bothered to challenge the Creationist theory, and even when they did, no one really believed them. Even now we're still running round in circles concerning the debate.
Either way, without the Evolutionist theory, we wun haf this wonderful game to play. (BTW I noticed that on the main page it says NS normally takes place through conflict.... but i think it occurs just as often, if not, through differences in ability to mate/find-food/evade. What do u guyz think?)
But back to the main topic before we get tossed into the lands of OT: Who are the guyz playing NS? (Or lurking ard the NS forums)
I'm sure it will be a good read. Crichton does a great job of mixing real-world science with a bit of science fiction.
Although I'd rather be playing NS all day.....

what the name of the book?
w00t, quantum + relativity is the win.
Also, I think the fact that everyone here is either some sort of scientist or techie, or is in some kind of learned profession is becuase we have the sense to join the forums and be attached to this game. Many of the actual playerbase you see on the pubs consists mainly of llamas and people that happened to notice NS floating about with all the other Half-Life mods out there.
