Since more people are here now, I'm going to ask for help again with my font colours.

What always works for me:

Make the font coloured. Then do it again.

I always do it twice and then it works. I have no idea why, but it always works.

EDIT: Also, every single time you edit your post, you need to select the coloured text again and colour it again. Almost forgot.


Also: IE9?

Man, get Firefox. Plugins FTW bro. =)

It's depressing how many idiots think that machine intelligence isn't real.  I guess it's probably having to do with thinking we organics are special and not understanding that our brains are just organic computers.

Ego. People love to think they are special. Turns out we are not too different or more advanced than anything else out there. Hopefully far less advanced that most.

Pssh, keep it down, we wouldn't want anyone in hear that, or else they might become disappointed and insecure again. <_<

edit: started paying ME3MP after some time again and man they've buffed the enemies. Silver ain't that easy anymore.

What browser do you use? I can get it to work on chrome, but the colours are lost if I edit or quote.

IE9.

I'm not very tech savvy, I wouldn't know the technical reason why it's not working. I can only suggest trying one of the other browsers. They all have their quirks. A few months ago, chrome suddenly started randomly bouncing the cursor back to the beginning of each line while I was in the middle of typing something. It was very annoying until it mysteriously fixed itself after a week or so.

See, your problem here is expecting synthesis supporters to understand REAL science, and not space magic.

So you xbox guys..
Could you tell me about exclusives other than gears of war and halo?

I might be able to buy the console cheap, not sure if it's worth it having a ps3 with tons of games already.

Not sure either. My favourite 360 exclusive is by far Alan Wake.

(Although that did come out for PC recently - but it used to be an exclusive, heh)

I see. I have Alan Wake on steam.

I'd really like to play Gears or Halo. (Only Gears 1 and Halo 2 are on PC, Halo 2 as well I think)

I always hear IE sucks compared to others, but I've never really heard why.

Oh yeah, another good one. A synthesis supporter confronted with an argument about how it would stifle evolution said that "the problem with evolution is that it's just a theory."

OMFG.

Well Ieldra2 seems very intelligent. But the problem there, is that intelligence and imagination enables him or her to create elaborate headcanon to justify the parts of synthesis that he or she likes, and ignore the rest. Like believing that the green gunk all over everyone and everything, is just artistic license to represent microscopic changes to DNA, while insisting everything else about the shiny, happy world depicted in the synthesis slides is 100% literal truth.

I think the skeptic James Randi, or maybe Michael Shermer, once said that intelligent people are sometimes more likely to believe in the paranormal, because they are imaginative enough to come up with their own explanations for the discrepancies in the things they want to believe in. Perhaps the same is true here?

I find any hypothesis that says synthesis supporters are very intelligent pretty laughable.

It's sluggish, unsafe and has annoying integration with microsoft software and sites.

Firefox is safer, open source, and has SO much functionality. You can choose from hundreds, if not thousands of plugins. They call them add-ons.

(If you don't like the look of the Firefox menu - this is what puts people off sometimes), you can set it to classic view.)

:lol:I said intelligent. I didn't say sensible. Or wise.  

I think of it as the "Sheldon Cooper" effect.

 Gears and Halo series are a lot of fun to play. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Did anyone else find Hackett's message very interesting?

Also, could someone help me fix my font colours?

what I found interesting: 

 I want you to know you have succeeded.

Earth remains the symbol of what we can accomplish and what we cannot accomplish – yet.

most importantly, we kept hope alive where there would otherwise be none.

there have been thousands of supposed prophets telling myths about when the end will come, and they have all been proven wrong.

We will make it through this, too… but it will be a fight to get there.

Sorry, but this has got to be said.

**** HAZARD MAPS!

Seriously, they aren't hard. They are CHEAP. Especially Benning. Oh what's that? Acid raid? Well here's a bunch of missions that require you to be out in the rain! Oh, you died in the rain? How about we kill you again instantly after resurrecting? That's fun isn't it? NO ITS NOT.

Why do people keep choosing those maps? They are terrible.

[Home run MF]

^ I use Opera it has almost the same Firefox plugins and mouse gestures which are pretty handy.

Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

And there's not even any extra credits for enduring them.

I like them! Sadly only three out of six are actual hazards. I'm excited to see what they do with the hazard Earth maps!

I'm gonna go ahead and ask the stupid question... it's not possible to play shooters on the 360 with a USB mouse, right?  Just that godawful miniature joystick on the controller?  I've avoided shooters for that reason, but they get enough love that I kinda want to try some.  If I could actually control my aim.

They've definately buffed enemies recently as well.  Silver enemies are much more ruthless, and will instantly jump to execute you the moment you go down sometimes, and seem to take more punishment then before.

But yeah, they give extra XP for doing random maps and enemies.  That's amazing, especially when you're level capped.  Why don't we get extra credits?

Oh yeah.  Because they want us to buy Bioware Points and spend it on their packs.  Which are still completely random and love to keep giving me character cards I already have.  Because I love spending 99,000 credits and getting the opinion to have a new secondary pattern on a character I don't use!
