A good friend of mine from way back, who is (among other things) an awesome musician, has released an album! You can find out more, and listen to it, on his Web site. He also wrote the music that was on the (short-lived) CD-ROM version of my game Onyx.

Working toward the heat death of the Universe, one joule at a time!
That was fun to listen to!

Love this game.Though I am ,unfortunately, a fantasy player, I find this often more fun than free porn.
Although I find Onyx superior to their main rival, Sexy Party, the latter does have some advantages; mainly 8 players and a more extensive and realistic stripping order.An amalgamation of ideas would be perfect.
Given this,I now only use my cards.It can be very time consuming but it does iron out some problems.
I do not know if they do things different in America but I would have thought that a woman would be less embarrassed about showing her legs than her breasts.Therefore I have changed the female disrobing order to
1.Shoes/Socks
2.Top/Skirt
3.Bra
4.Panties
Another thing I have changed is making the player landing on the target’s property,the one who pays the forfeit rather than it seems,the other way round.This does mean though that the stripping cards have to be increased in the non property areas.
In my fantasy world chivalry abounds where I have found that the men are less modest than the women in what they do, though I may be wrong in real life!.Therefore to get rid of male passes I have in quite heavy physical chastisements and probably more
effective, byes against sexual activity with female players.
I have made the pre naked Torture section alot more sexual in nature, especially for the women, and more painful for the men.At high spice levels there are sex acts in private and even affairs with full sex though the orgasm button has to be ignored.I find it much more fun with some clothes left on.The naked options can seem tame in comparison.
I have noticed how much time players seem to land in Gaol probably because the selling option can get rather tedious.I have come up with something called the Newgate Penalty which is that if a player does not want to play a penalty, they can if there are appropriate players in gaol, offload it to them as long as it does not include disrobing.
It is also fun to get your way with the gaolbirds if you get the right Fate card. I must admit that gets rather sexist.
A nice fantasy is to make a player a group, say some people on a T.V. programme.For those in the U.K., I will just say Coronation Street.
It took me some time to find this thread. It would be nice if it was attatched to the Symtoys main site.I do not know how many of these games have been downloaded but I am sure many players would like to swap ideas, real or fantasy.

My name is Tawny Grant and I actually had my credit card # stolen and used for this horrible website. I’m not the one who registered this site. To be clear I actually contacted the web hosting site the day of the charge and requested that they close the site down and refund my money. The FBI has been investigating the matter and I’d like to note that I have been in complete cooperation with the whole investigation. I would also like to request that you remove my name and home address from your public site and possibly check your facts before publishing my name in connection to virus writers.
Thank you.

I completely agree that Hollywood’s portrayal of immortality and radical life extension is shallow, unrealistic, and just plain broken (even if Highlander is a bad ass movie!).
The worst of the lot, IMHO, is Bicentennial Man, a movie which I find so morally objectionable that it completely soured me on Robin Williams. It’s kind of a bait-and-switch; The first half of the movie is a lighthearted sci-fi comedy about an anthropomorphic household robot (Williams), his interactions with his owners, and his eventual decision to become legally human.
The movie then switches gears and becomes a nauseating treatise on how death is what gives meaning to life. It’s not subtle, either. They come straight out and say it, and clobber the viewer over the head with it. It sickened me, and if I hadn’t been watching it for free (caught it at a sci-fi convention) I would’ve asked for my money back.

*SPOILER ALERT*
Beautiful story- touching, tragic, and hopeful all at the same time. I printed a few copies and gave them out at our cryonics meetup last night. I also advised that it not be read during the meeting for obvious reasons.
I don’t know if this was the author’s intention, but the real tragedy I see in this story stems from Drew’s bigotry and close-mindedness. He and his wife both suffer through years of loss and separation because of his refusal to recognize that the upload is his wife. It seems curious to me that even she seemed to fall into the same (IMHO) fallacy.
Either way, great story and very thought-provoking.

That’s sweet! Does it wash right out or take awhile to fade? (Never played around much with magic markers… regular markers might take a time to fade out…)

Check out e107 – I use it for our guild content management.
It can be as secure or as open as you want. I don’t know about the java code because I don’t use it, but I *DO* know, that you can create pages that you can have links to…
http://tsga.sytes.net/news.php that’s an old guild site – but you can look at it. It’s as modular (or not) as you want. (I happen to like the squares… :))
The CMS and all of the mods are free – and it has a whole set of tools on the back end. I’d also say about 80% of the templates (designs) are free, too.

True, Drupal is a pain in the ass. Which is not necessarily such a bad thing, I should note.
But I am not a programmer, I haven’t written a line of code in my life, I am a mac user and therefore not all that used to steep learning curves as far as software is concerned, and I learned how to use Drupal to create and manage my own site in a few weekends.
Drupal is robust, open-source, has loads of ways of doing things, and beats WordPress on anything that isn’t a blog. WordPress is better for blogs, though.

You’re never going to find something that fits all of the criteria you listed there. Well, let me rephrase that–you’re never going to find something, but it can be built. Not for less than at least a few grand, though, I imagine.

When you are wearing a pair of shoes walking on the road, others may not just see your
pair of shoes, but your taste, your personality.Therefore, how to choose a pair of shoes is
a very important thing.But many people do not notice this, so we will see a lot of people
wearing these that don’t match.On behalf of a brand is in fact a kind of cognitive.Such as
Coca-Cola stands for "middle products", and Pepsi-Cola stands for "young".In the shoe
brand, uggs is also have their own representatives, it represents a stylish andcomfortable.
It is true, ugg boots have been accepted by the majority of young people.Even wearing
discount uggs boots are also considered to be representative of fashion.So I think that
when you choose shoes, pay attention to the meaning of the brand, choose their own
characteristics, personality suited to their shoes.

He summed it up brilliantly in the first few sentences. He forcibly had intercourse with a woman/girl WHO WAS SAYING NO.
There are a number of LEGAL ways Polanski could have dealt with any possible misconduct on the part of the judge, as mentioned both in the video and in your responses in the comments.
Polanski got away with it because he’s rich and white.
Anyone who was not famous/rich or white would not have been offered that plea deal and would not currently have anyone rich or famous standing in his corner now saying “but it wasn’t rape-rape”.
Send him to prison & put him in general population. I hear they have a special way of dealing with child molesters there.

“The Underground City on Governors Island”
Ontario has a series of underwater villages, created when the government bought the villages in order to make the St Lawrence Seaway. The images from there are really striking, and it’s real. 🙂

Thank you,, for saying everything I wanted to say here 🙂
I have also not seen any citations on that last point, and what I’ve read suggests that he was quite willing to negotiate with the authorities on the matter, but unwilling to accept “give yourself over to us and trust us to do the right thing afterwards”

While i concede that that is indeed unclear, I take issue with this question.
He fled from justice when it became clear to him that the judge was planning to ignore the agreement and throw the book at him instead. Apparently deals shouldn’t apply when they’re made with rapists?
No, he fled from justice when he realized that justice was actually going to be served (as well as it could be when hobbled by the plea bargain)
I found an article a while back in the LA Times (which i can’t find again 🙁 ) which indicated that the Plea was something along the lines of “Plead guilty to ‘unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor’ and we’ll drop the other 5 charges,” with sentencing by the judge. A standard type of plea, as I understand it.
Polanski accepted that bargain, Plead guilty, and was ordered (not sentenced) to 90 days of psychiatric evaluation. 42 days in, Polanski left because the shrink claimed further punishment wouldn’t help (Here i call shenanigans, cite Privilege), apparently intending to continue his life as normal. The “crazy” Judge then said something along the lines of “You were ordered 90 days of psych eval, you’ll do 90 days of psych eval, I don’t care what the damn shrink says, we’ll figure the rest out when you’re done with that (PS This does not make me happy).”
I have yet to find Anywhere that the plea did not allow for jail time, did not allow the Judge to assign the maximum allowed sentence for the crime, or that it allowed for Polanski to skip out on more than half his court ordered psychiatric evaluation.
No, it looks like Polanski believed (erroneously) that Shrinks decide your sentencing, and the judge was being “unfair” in *gasp* actually doing his job.
I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but what it comes down to is that unless the plea specifically stated a sentence that he was to face, the judge wasn’t even Apparently in violation of anything.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t these the guys who we’re currently worried won’t be able to control their nuclear arsenal?
Well, at least they know how to sell sex toys.

Oddly, whenever you were attributing characteristics to Brave New World, what was running through my head was that all those also apply to Fahrenheit 451, a favorite of mine.

I though I had that with someone, but turns out he is a compulsive liar… like…clinically. We are still friends, but only in a very superficial manner.
So now I am gunshy.
Funnily, my current boyfriend DOES tell me when he’s heading to the can, generally so I can run use the bathroom before him as he likes to linger.
