I wondered what you think about the 11 Pool and then later expo in terms of getting more larvae quicklier. I mean you are ussually getting creep up fast and sometimes even tumor before inject but I was wondering if you tested this and or what your thoughts are on this in general. Greetings Igaryu PS isnt it odd to play the korean version or do you actually understand the basic korean writing and stuff? Edit: Please stop that offtopic stuff | ||

Look at what those of the physical sciences have contributed to humanity, then look at what lawyers have contributed. A typical comment that I would expect from a Brickie and not a teenager commenting a video game website. Sorry for the blatant insult but I can't help it  Most disciplines are interdependent of each other and to isolate law as a career and to say lawyers have not contributed to society is ignorant. I've never said anything likewise against physicists. If I accepted that you were smart enough to know what I am implying, then I wouldn't say any more. Sadly, I feel obliged to remind you that society would not be as it is if there were no legal sanctions available to both civil and criminal activity then you can kiss away your human rights, the rule of law and boundaries to scientific experimentation. Kimchibreath rebuts the posit that physics is more respected than law by bringing up the fact that the UAI (score) cut-off is higher for law. Kimchibreath should know that the supply and demand for law subjects apposed to physics subjects has nothing to do with respectability. Yes, but I will go a step further and assert that most women respect lawyers much more than scientists stuck in their lab. We are more desirable for women, and generally more wealthy and articulate. There is research done in this field, which I have been told by an eminent barrister in Victoria, who I am not inclined to call up just to post it on this site. Even common sense dictates that lawyers, doctors, bankers and the most prestigious careers. On a personal level, at law school, we only view doctors as our intellectual equals. It's just that we are reluctant to ever mention this just as Harvard students will never say they feel they are better than students from other universities. Saying that physics is more prestigious to me sounds like a bad attempt at a joke. It's even worse than my cocky friend who consistently brags to me how his top mark in engineering should impress me. The higher UAI cut off score is higher due to the general smaller size of law school. Why not increase the size of the law school to meet higher demand? Why not make the cut off for medicine lower by increasing the size of medical school? The answer should be self evident. As a result of cut off scores, law school often obtains the brightest students. Most of them having achieved the highest marks in high school both in humanities and physical sciences. The rest of the top achievers go into medicine not physics. Saying that I will refrain to comment about others perceptions of an insignificant part of my comment was not a call for all trolls to put in their two cents of bs. To this extent, I think I've made my point clear. Enjoy the posts so far and understand that I will not respond further in this off topic discussion. | ||

I think at this point everyone's made up their mind in this argument and no one's is going to change. | ||

People have been talking about how SC2 is just devolving into rush-based play, as seen from the trends in GSL3. And just watching the idra stream last night makes me convinced that the problem is going to just get worse and worse. I don't want rushes gone, just balanced with macro play. There are too many successful allins. Edit: Also since his TL account was jacked, is that possibly related to why he can't use his ustream account? | ||

Starcraft like chess isn't a game you can just get better at by only playing it, it's just as important to think about strategy, watch replays and find out what you could do better, then it is just massing games. Idra is such a mechanically sound player that he isn't losing much not playing the same build a thousand times on ladder. User was warned for this post | ||

To this extent, I think I've made my point clear. Enjoy the posts so far and understand that I will not respond further in this off topic discussion. haha, I see why you're doing the dick-measuring thing, all my peers who have gotten internships already (I'm in early undergraduate still) basically live in the library or are savants and are broken elsewhere in their personality or had connections, if I were you and I had the dedication to work that hard, and I heard that a bunch of people on a forum said "lol, so you make more money and have more prestige and wasted time doing something really hard, but that doesn't make your opinion any more valid", it'd feel like my work of however many years was invalidated, so yes, I feel bad for the way this thread is turning out in that way...I've never heard anyone say "Oh, I went through law school. Yeah it was a breeze, all of it..", so I respect the amount of effort it took you.. I go to the University of Toronto, so it was big humbling experience to see tonnes of people more widely skilled than I...in my limited experience, I would say that I think it's kind of ridiculous to compare university programs to each other, like law and physics and what not, at the end of the day, you rarely ever see anything, even on a higher education level, that makes you say "Wow, I could never understand this, regardless of how much time or effort I had." (except UofT math, lol that wasn't fun) That's something I think holds true for a lot of people and for any subject...if you just invested interest and time and effort into a program of study, chances are you would succeed to some degree..So what do we argue about? Whether the better ways are the long, hard, prestigious ways or the easier, possibly lower paying, less taxing, frowned upon ways? Yeah, I don't know, I find that argument kind of silly >_> we all have choices, and we are the sum of those choices, and there's no shame in choosing one way or the other if it's what you want to do with your life, because rarely do good things ever come out of situations where you're miserable with your life's decisions However, on the other hand, I can see why you caught some flack, because you probably didn't need to mention your educational background or use jargon, when I come to TeamLiquid, I like it because I can just put away my math/statistical/economics jargon aside and just speak comfortably about a fun, pressure-free topic..I suppose you've worked so hard and spent so many hours in books that you've become accustomed to this level of speech in daily conversation, or maybe you just are that pretentious...lol And finally, as it pertains to the original post you made: - Idra has already said he needs consistent practice partners and people he can discuss strategy with...if he could get a good coach, he'd probably have one - Idra has tried every type of practice schedule you and I could probably imagine, and seeing as he's a motivated person and he's also delaying the security of a post-secondary education to chase a dream halfway across the world in the prime of his life, I think he'd be doing everything reasonable to be getting better - I'm not sure if it occurred to you because you speak as if you're baller-rich, but progamers don't exactly make the most lucrative living...I figured Idra could probably use the spare cash more than anything by coaching..

Idra your stream is awesome, please keep it up. From someone who plays starcraft 2 pretty casually, its amazing to see pros like yourself play at the highest skill level. | ||

Lol, nice catch. I think he just effectively called himself "not too bright". But I may be wrong because following his logic, 7 lines is the bench mark where typos are deniieed On topic: Very nice job Idra, thanks for bringing the streams to us! + Show Spoiler [Q about Kang] + On December 11 2010 23:09 Kang19 wrote: How is pretentiousness not the core of your posts when you spend more time talking about where you went to school and how you're smarter than the average TLer than anything else? I'm two semesters from graduating the honours program of physics at my university, which is just a bit more prestigious than law, yet I had no need to bring it up in previous posts because it is absolutely irrelevent. I feel that the people who have been playing this game for the past 12 years (ie. everyone that IdrA talks to) are more than well aware of how to prepare and practice. Even though you are smarter than IdrA, a recipient for a full scholarship into theoretical physics, have faith in him knowing how to train. Okay? Thanks. User was temp banned for this post. Why was user Kang banned for this post? I'm not supporting anyone here. I am however quite curious to the reason for banning him in that post. I am aware moderators are able to ban people with their subjective determination but I'm dumbfounded how that specific post constituted a ban?
