    Role of GECK

    It was a water chip that needed a GECK in order to purify water at a faster rate. Thus becoming super duper fallouty. :roll:

    [IDEA] The Stupid Project - ugg?

    Personally, I'd like some traits to have a massive overhaul effect on dialog. For example, daddy's girl/boy should be a trait instead of a perk, and in addition to giving the med bonus, it should change most dialog options to stuff like "My pappy/daddy always told me...." or "Pappy/daddy says..."

    [I R SMART] dialogue skill checks unretardified

    You're my new hero :clap: I just thought of something. Perhaps someone could make a mod where if a character has low intelligence it replaces the currently existing "intelligence" ones with really really stupid observations that someone who THINKS they are intelligent would make. ... um...

    The Future

    Well, I just read this in the news: http://gm-volt.com/2008/12/21/eestor-is-granted-a-new-patent-on-the-eesu-offering-extensive-detail-on-its-design-and-function/ What is it? It's a patent on a technology that was kept very very very tightly under wraps until the patent was filed. What...

    The Future

    Actually it had to do with a study into how plants operate. They now know the chemical properties necessary to have a die which will cause electrons to be bumped with as close to 100% efficiency as possible when a very specific frequency of light hits it. This isn't simple absorption. This is...

    The Future

    Certainly better breaks that don't wear out easily. Dynamic breaking doesn't actually use break disks; it breaks by taking power form the engine and using it to recharge the batteries. Due to conservation of energy, this causes very rapid deceleration. Electric motors last longer and...

    The Future

    Everything dies out eventually. The universe is not forever. One word: entropy On a long enough timescale, even the smallest sub atomic particles will break down and all that will be left in the universe will be photons. It's called Heat Death, and it's probably the most depressing...

    Sequel discussion

    Mad Max 2 was many times better than 1. Godfather Part 2 was excellent, but aside from the flashback scenes, it was simply a rehash of part 1's plot; very very formulaic. Part 1 is far superior. Both are masterpieces of cinema. Batman Returns IMO wasn't as good as Batman. Dark Knight...

    The Future

    We can make oil from turkey guts, recycled plastic, and any number of other sources. It costs about $80 a barrel though. Oil is a fully renewable resource. It just costs a little more to make than it does to extract currently. When the only sources, or when most sources, are expensive to...

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    A major factor in creating anti-tobacco laws is FUD created by big money class action lawsuits. FUD is a big motivator for the common idiot. Just look at drug prohibition.

    Trying to play F3 in a fluffy (canon) way

    back on topic: Ghouls and Supermutants are not humans anymore. They are not compatible with humans with respect to reproductive capabilities and their genetic differences are pretty profound. It would be more accurate to say they share the same genus but have evolved into different...

    Trying to play F3 in a fluffy (canon) way

    Wrong. Race is subordinate to species and superordinate to subrace. It is a subclassification the same way family genus is superordinate to species and subordinate to family, and so on. With respect to humans, racial differences can be somewhat equated to the differences found in...

    Trying to play F3 in a fluffy (canon) way

    Uh, actually race is based on genetics. There are actually 3 human races: Caucasoid - native Europeans, middle easterners, natives of the Indian subcontinent (Indians, Pakstani, etc.) Mongoloid - most asians (chinese, japanese, korean, mongolian, NOT Indian though), Native Americans...

    Subways, Utility Stations=Copy/Paste

    Talon mercs are triggered by one of two things: 1) defusing the Megaton bomb 2) High karma If you qualify for either one of those two things, you'll find Talon mercs. On the flipside, with low enough karma, you'll be attacked by Regulators.

    Sharing the Wealth (or not)

    Everyone has their price. The greater disparity of wealth, the lower that price is and the more likely the wealthy can spend it without it even denting their wallet. Lobbying groups are the people. They are representative just like congressmen. Crooked politicians make it a problem. And...
