Water well below freezing point.

I was thinking bass-ackwards there. Under pressure, water will not freeze or will thaw at the same temperature. You're right. However, pressure still doesn't come into play due to the creation of heat. It has to do with the hydrogen bonds being stronger than the bonds found in most liquids...

Revisiting HL2

I'm 100% with you there. Even DE:IW had a much more engrossing and well-written story than either Half-Life, but I've yet to see any FPS that comes close to DE. Half-Life 1 & 2 never made me feel pulled into the story. However, I do consider them the smart-man's-dumbed-down-shooter...

Water well below freezing point.

Aside from anecdotal and contemplative evidence, I haven't found anything worthwhile during casual searching concerning this question. One interesting thing to note, though, is that I found out that the pressure mention had it backwards (the pondering as to whether greater pressures towards the...

Revisiting HL2

It sounds like most of the discontent is from it being "boring." I found the world interesting to explore and most of the dialogue entertaining. The dull parts for me, were the forced tedious scripted attack/defend segments. Those felt like playing a rail-shooter where dumb enemies keep...

Water well below freezing point.

Apart from the statements concerning friction, earth temperature, pressure temperature, et cetera, perhaps it will help understanding if you look at the problem a different way. Don't think of ice as being cold, but merely the solid state of a liquid. All solids are that way because there's...

New Nero update includes Worm

So, it's a false positive, or at worst over-aggressive spyware screening.

New Nero update includes Worm

Good point on the false positive, particularly since I'm using heuristic checking. Looking forward to see what the other AVs say. [Edit: Didn't note all anecdotal evidence before. This was the first time in version 7 that Nero required a full uninstall / restart before installation. When...

New Nero update includes Worm

Wanted to post this here to warn potential users. Ahead Software recently released the newest version of its Nero burning software. This seems to be a fairly major update as the last few have had version numbers 7.5.x.x while this one updates it to 7.7.x.x. It initially shipped with an...
