"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

For some reason, I had a dream a few nights ago in which I was back in me home town of Staines, and Sandwich had set up a shop called, naturally, the Sandvich Bar, where he flogged his computery stuff and doled out 3D modelling advice and what have you. Scared the hell outta me, cos I went in and said 'Awight Sandwich? I'm Diamond Geezer' and Sandwich says hello and we shook hands as you do, and it was really odd.

Hasn't happened with any other board member, and I'm ****ed if I know why I was dreaming about Sandwich. I mean, sandwiches in general, furry muff, but when you're dreaming about an HLP admin you probably need help...

I'm gonna stop talking now, and watch as people back away slowly, trying not to make any sudden moves...

Ooooooh, now I can start handing out copies of FS2 to friends

/me starts up his copier ;)
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

:wtf: What're all you guys suddenly happy about? None of that stuff is news to HLPers (it shouldn't be, at least), and I'm the one who posted that thing in the first place. I just decided to camoflague my pimping of HLP and VW with that "FS2 can be copied" bit. :p

No, you won't - unless it's for shipping and the cost of the 3 discs themselves ( :wtf: they're like what, 20ยข?), any copies are on a no-cost basis.

Hehe, quite weird cause technically you're NOT allowed to pay for it. :p Except for shipping and the cost of the CD's themselves of course.

Yeah, BTW- can somebody just email me the files or something? That'd be nice, seeing as I haven't gotten a fully intact package in a month, and I know for a fact that some stuff didn't even arrive. Damn postal service- if I was one of those postal workers, I'd kill all of my coworkers, too.
Webpage. Yes.
