Isn't that what mods are for?
It was a mod included by default since it was developed by one of the dev team. Hence why it was easy to turn off Big Grin

A machine can never replace a computer. That's why I can out drink my windows XP.

Evolution is criticised by the faithful because it goes against their mindset as dictated by their religion.

You can be sure that if it was written that "God created a spark of life and then set forth the force of nature" instead that they would be all for it.

Did you mean to say a machine can never replace a human?...because a computer is a machine. Oh, and my Linux machine could probably out drink your XP machine as well Tongue

Well, humans are terrible at numbers and that's something computers are amazingly good at. But other than numbers and exact measurements they're pretty useless.

I know we've gone off topic here but computers only tell you when something is wrong!! I hate that! can't they be nice and every once in a while pop up with a message like 'You're great at spelling' or 'You're a pro at this programme.' I'd buy into that!

Suddenly a porn pop up covers your screen and all you hear is:

To put it simple I'd say that Evolution is criticsised because it's not In the Bible or Koran and it's not part of faith.
