Good idea... instead of having all these complex IQ tests, and entrance tests for university, we'll get everybody to post a message in a forum, and judge thier intelligence on their use of the capslock key!

Save money, and time....

IQ test:

ALL CAPITALS MEANING THE KEY IS CONSTANTLY DEPRESSED - -75

doesn't touch the shift or capslock keys at all - 75-90

GoEs MIxINg CapItaLs AnD NOn-CaPs - 90-100

Sometimes caps at the beginning of scentences. more often not. at least correct punctuation (in most cases]. - 100-110

Perfectly correct spelling and grammar. 110-140

Erratic Genius. Uses capitalisation on Words which are very important, as well as at the beginning of Scentances. - 140+

Oh, dear, Mortis! How unhip you are! If you were paying any attention at all, you would notice that typing in the proper phashion, as it were, requires a Spastic shift key, not a Stuttering one. Misuse of capitalization occurs in clumps, not the simple alternating pattern you use.

Relax, all. This little tete-a-tete is simply a matter of style. We intellectuals prefer to utilize the language and vocabulary properly to express ourselves and promote free flow of information in a clever and stylish manner. KoRnMAn doesn't know any big words so he uses big *letters* to be percieved as clever and stylish. Sadly, he is somewhat unsuccesful, but that is irrelevant. Again, I say relax, all. It's merely a side effect of youth, immaturity, and relative innocence. Give it time and he'll be as much a jaded, cynical, and heartless SOB as the rest of us.

That's the way to get people to see you're point! Egg them on! "Incompetent morons, pathetic, a-holes," oh, you're doing wonders to get people to listen to reason.

And as for wanting attention, your question has, to the best of my knowledge, been answered. Why do you keep posting?

Trust me, it's not our enjoyment of your typing, it's more of the sort of gawking at a train wreck type of reaction. I'm sure as long as you find the time to write out inane replies to arguments that don't address anything being said, there will be people, somewhere, to make fun of you...

KoRnMAn, if you're too lazy to play SMAC, you shouldn't be playing it at all. I've never understood cheating in any game, especially not in strategy games...
And is this "dAmN pEoPLE oPEn yOuR EyES! y'ALl aRe pAtHEtiC!" a grown-up way to handle these things?
And remember that you're not in the center of the Universe... people sometimes (read "usually") like to post off-topic messages on these message forums so you shouldn't go blaming them for that.
And what about this message of yours:
"wHaT a bUnCH oF stUpId wAcKoS! i PoStEd tHiS qUeStIOn bEcAuSe i tHouGhT tHerE wAs oNe yOu iDiOtS! aND hEy yOu mOROnS, iF yOu ThInK mY tYpInG tAkEs mE hOuR tO mAkE A SenTEnCe, tHiNk aGAiN! yOu doN'T kNoW wHO yEr tAlKiNG tO! sO nExT tImE yOu aLl yA' sIlLy iGnORanTs tHiNk bEfOrE yOu mEsS uP wiTh sOmEbOdY'S iDEA! OK? jUg AsSeS!"
Umm... do you really think people will take you seriously after this? I doubt that many people are willing to reply to your messages anymore after this. By replying to their responses that way you just get a lot of "enemies"
What is this thread for anyway? Nothing, I say...
By continuing your current line, KoRnMAn I would almost bet you'll answer me in the same fashion as you did answer to some of these people, perhaps even worse...

Hey, Kornman. If you are looking for cheats for SMAC, then "HTTP://COME.TO/ADDICTED" also "HTTP://WWW.GAMEARENA.NET/ADDICTED/ACMAIN.HTM" (same site)

is the place for you. They have a demo-cheat, the "ordinary" cheat (the scenario thing), and a hex cheat, to avoid getting Cheat Mode recorded.

kornman, degenerating facts are the kind that tend to change or deteriorate, not really facts then. denigrating facts are those facts that tend to be about the lesser qualities of something, they can at times, when used in the proper fashion be insulting.

i had thought i had noticed a trend of annoying style concerning the appearance of your posts, yet over all containing proper spelling, grammar,if colorful, and punctuation. unfortunately as i continued to read i noticed that your flashy style lacked proper form as well as being reletively annoying. - combination fact and opinion - not really concerned with being insulting.

in the end i guess this affected style may be annoying as well, but i just can't seem to find the shift keys on my keyboard. maybe there is a cheat code someplace to help me.

I'm sorry, I have one final thing to add, Kornman...

For God's sake, it's not "ediot," it's "idiot"! I mean, you claim to be great at typing, and this one simple word you seem to be so fond of calling people you can't get right! And "incompentent moron" is starting to get old too. Although "jug-asses" was a classic, a brilliant phrase that, I'm sure, convinced many people how correct you are...

KoRnMAn, just a random question: how do you decide which letter is to be upper case and which to be lower? The standard alternating pattern doesn't hold for you. (Your name for example...)
Mortis posted 04-17-99 09:12 AM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for Mortis  Click Here to Email Mortis     
Alphagene: Was Korn "corporate rock drive" when they put out their first, self titled album and "Life is Peachy". When a rockband is trying to make them selves known its "They are just dumbass kids, they will never make it", but as soon as they gain popularity it "They sold out and gone corporate!". As for the name, they weren't trying to be "cool", but if you just insist on saying then then take a look at some other (non-coporate ) *ahem* bands, like "5ive" and "N' Syic".

I'm not tring to defend "KoRnMAn" and his dumb writing... It hurts me when people like him jump around shouting "iNCoMpEtEnT mOrONs" and "eDIOts" out of one side of their mouth while saying "KoRn rUlE!!" out the other. It makes people acossiate me with people like "KoRnMAn".

As for KoRnMAn himself...

[Alphagene will now pretend he's an actual music critic...]

Mortis: I know all bands must start out humbly and I do not equate "success" with "sold out".

It's just that I think that Korn, like the vast majority of popular rock bands that have come out in the past two or three years, really isn't very original. That's why rock bands' albums are selling less, overall, than those of, say, rap and R&B artists.

For example, there's the "Third Eye 20" faction of bands that sound alike (Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Tonic, etc...)

I think bands like Garbage, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson for example are really doing much more interesting things with rock. Korn, like these bands, is very hard driven rock but I just feel that technically speaking it lacks anything, well, ballsy.

[and now back to the non-ranting Alphagene...]

Whatever, it's really just personal preference. We listen to what we like.

My comment was more to take a piss out of KoRnFlAkE and his dysfunctional CAPS LOCK key than to needle Korn fans. And I'd rather be trapped in an elevator with Korn than 'N Sync.

For those of you who say bands "sell out," playing music is their job.... not signing a better record dealor whatever is like not you not taking a promotion. Unless the band is punk, iot really can't "sell out."

Jiffy Lube, in the future, can you please refrain from posting the identical message 4 times?

trippin: Actually any band can sell out, however you are right in that being paid a lot by a record company isn't necessarily selling out. Let's say an up-and-coming band meets with a record company exec:

Exec: "Hey guys, your band Pig Spleen is really intense and loud and you have a small but fanatically loyal fan base. You cats are goin' places, man! I'd like sign you guys up on the Hugeco Record Label for a $300 billion dollar 7-album deal"

Band: "Woohoo! Yeah!"

Exec: "However, listening to your music, I'd like to suggest some ideas. Maybe change your thrash metal image into someting a little more like Hootie and the Blowfish. They're a big hit and we feel that if you play music more like them you'll sell many more albums and I can guarantee a lot of VH-1 airtime!"


[not selling out]
Band: "No way you corporate puppet! We won't be slaves to your pure capitalism! Our music stays as is or no deal!"


[selling out]
Band: "Well, we *will* be paid a lot and I want us to be popular. Where do I sign? We can write trite unprovocative music, too, ya know!"

And that's my off-topic contribution for the day.

By the way, here's an interesting one! If you have a hex editor and you activate cheat mode, you can deactivate it without any repercussion by editing byte 3C back to 00. Now there's one for you!
