[EDIT]

EDIT - screw this storm ... it's downgraded to a category 2 and is stalling over the bahamas.Ã,  Now all we're going to get is a bad thunderstorm for several days.Ã, 

I feel jipped ...

Well, there's always Ivan.Ã,  Here's hoping.

Wow, you must really love severe weather!!!Ã,  Come see us here in Kansas and we'll drive around and play chicken with tornadoes on the highway!Ã, 

I hope everything is okay down your way, Darth.  Hehehe, I'd take EvenWolf's advice and point some fans towards the shore!!

Ye best get an anchor!

Maybe we ought to write user biographies/autobiographies.

I think that schools should not punish kids for failing a subject, as long as they can do well in other subjects.  For instance, I pratically failed American history, yet in weather and other sciences, I do fine.   School should help kids find out where they're greatest interests and strengths lie, so they could further pursue them.

There are some kids who DON'T want to be in the education system.  And they ARE a pain in the butt.   But they're not always stubborn. 

Like Robert Oppenheimer, who said that school was so boring, it was impossible to feel like he was learning anything at all.  The education system doesn't work for everybody, and that's why they don't want to be there.  Because they know they're not learning and that they are just wasting time.   

They're just passing people through..

Yes.  Here is a qoute from one of the articles I linked to:  "In his 1905 dissertation for Columbia Teachers College, Elwood Cubberlyâ€"the future Dean of Education at Stanfordâ€"wrote that schools should be factories "in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished products...manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing will come from government and industry."

Sadly, it doesn't seem that some schools have moved beyond this.

School is cool, IF you want to be there.Ã, 

Very true. Ã,  The education system does work for some and doesn't work for others. Ã, But I urge everybody to read ALL of the articles provided in the links. Ã, There's alot of interesting info there.

The article(s) do not disagree with the points you listed, lgm.Ã,  Such as money, movies and music etc.

AND the lack of motivation comes from the lack of a purpose to do the work.  It's all there.

I'm sure alot of you all agree that the education system is a joke.Ã,  It kills our children's imaginations and toasts their brains.Ã,  Ã, Have a look at this link: http://www.thememoryhole.org/edu/school-mission.htm

It tells alot about this subject.Ã,  Also, be sure to look at this one too:Ã,  http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/

Whaddya think???

I haven't been in the irc forever.  I should drop in.  After all, I know that my presence must be sorely missed!!! 

(Please see my updated info on page 5)

I will compose music for a game of any length.Ã, 

I've been composing for several years, and there's nothing I love more.

I work with a Yamaha TYROS which has a wide variety of quality sounds and instruments.Ã,  I will work in either MP3 or OGG format.Ã,  Your choice.

I charge no money for work, all I require is credit at the end of the game.

You can use the instant messanger on the forums to contact me or e-mail me atÃ,  Ã,  Ã,

Wow, what an interesting situation this is.

If you really ARE Josh Mandel, it's really cool to have you here.  I love SQ6.  If you're NOT Josh Mandel, then you can give up the act, Daniel G, or whoever is doing this. 

I have a few questions though.  Where is this movie's website?  When will the trailer be available?  And why are you sharing this information with us in the first place??

In response to all pictures and all discussion of metal pieces going through     
the many and various parts of the human anatomy, including the genitals, I choose to respond thusly:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!


Thankyou.

Another thing you should never try is looking at the sun through a telescope.Ã,  Not that I've ever done that, but think about it.Ã,  Ã,  :o

Although, it's really cool to look at the sun through a welding mask, since they block most of the light.Ã, 

Even just THINKING about staring at the sun makes my eyes water!  :'(

"Well obviously, I write software so there's no way I could have a girlfriend"

CJ, why are you trying to hide me??? Are you ashamed of your "special friend?"

Oh yeah, and if you get a new laptop, ANYTHING BUT DELL. Dude, you're not getting another Dell, are you?

Are Dell laptops bad???  That's funny, because the old Dell desktop computer I got back in the late 1990s is still up and running fine.  Maybe it's just the laptops.

Man Terran, I feel so sorry for you! I can't imagine having something like that happen, I sure hope that you can get your files back! 

I'm using OGG files in my game.  Great quality, small size.  I don't mind MIDI music at all, but in the end, MIDI files can't always do what you need them to.

What instrument(s) do you use for your music?? 

Hi there!  Nice to meet a fellow composer/sound designer!  Aside from this, you can also find jobs for AGS games in this thread:  http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=10001.0

Every once in awhile people will request music and sound. 

Also, you can offer your services here: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=13335.0

Good luck and welcome!
