    Elvish Names, now in Elvish letters!

    And here's another set. I'm at the halfway point, counting names from Angcuru's original thread. I hope to have them all finished by the end of the week. How do I shoot a bow? -- Sut magh cu? (How use bow?) Watcher over the Wyrm -- Onyatiri'uloki Storm Reaver/Master/Conquerer -- Arrnatura...

    Test

    In my decidedly non-tech knowledgeable manner, maybe it has something to do with fixxed column widths. The column that the tag goes in may be fixxed at a certain number of pixels, and cuts off images bigger than that. Don't know exactly how to fix that, but it may be something to look for.

    [ot] College textbooks online?

    I'll second this. If it's possible to CLEP out of some courses, do so. They are graded on a weighted scale of 20-80 points, and most courses take about 50 or so to pass. If you know half the stuff you need for the course, you can test out it. I've taken CLEPs for three History classes, and...

    Elvish Names, now in Elvish letters!

    Here's a few more. Graham Katrina James Paul Terinis Neil Bear Oath Curse Flow Stream Psionicist, those were tough :) . The harsh sounds of English (these sound like they're from Anglo-Saxon heritage, the old barbarian tribes and such) do not readilly adhere to the flowing silibant nature of...

    Diablo II: Patch 1.10s (beta 2) released.

    Just a bump, since Beta Patch 2: 1.10s got released.

    Demons and Devils, why only DR/good

    I don't think it would be too out of line to allow opposing alignments on either the Good-Evil or the Lawful-Chaotic axes to affect Demons/Devils. DR x/good and cold iron would become DR x/(good or lawful) and cold iron DR y/good and silver would become DR y/(good or chaotic) and silver...

    ...and once again I'm thankful that my university has a rental system. ~$100 max to rent a semester's worth of texts. Tell your wallet "good luck" and hope to find a deal!

    Maybe to separate them a bit from generic off-topic threads, how about "News" and/or "Science" tags. And I'm sure the Story-Hour-ers and Publishers would make great use of a "Self-Plug" tag! :D

    Elvish Names, now in Elvish letters!

    It's not acutally a modified font, just the sounds associated with some of the letters have been reassigned. In Appendix E, part II, of Return of the King, Tolkien describes the Elvish form of writing. It goes on to say what sounds are represented by what symbols, and notes that the Qwenya and...
