I logged into WBaduk a few days back, just to see the WAGC games really. For a 28Mb download I really expected something better. The GUI was all roar and no ease. The translation pretty amateur. Am I missing something with this server? Is there a better client than the default one?

The English one is just pretty bad. I can say the Japanese one is a bit more polished, but it's the same GUI. I assume the Korean one is the same way.

Yeah, I don't think anyone goes there for the interface...

I tried to use it. But I don't see anyone on the Wbaduk server. Am I supposed to use the Korea one?

Yeah, have to go to one of the others besides the default, nobody uses that server

You might have to connect to the server twice, as there is a bug where you don't connect to anything, yet it appears as if you're logged in. And Javaness, your choice of title makes me want to demolish your face with a sledgehammer. But let's leave it at that, you are after all, right. Wbaduk interface sucks.

Thanks, but I'm an atheist.

[OT]: As I understand it, Buddhism is not a religion but more a science of human progress and a philosophy. But I know there are quite a few orthodox sects in Buddhism which prefer to stay in medieval thinking …

But then again, atheism, to me, is a religion whose followers believe there is/are no such thing/s as God/s :P

I prefer to be an eclectic: I pick the raisins from all those cakes there are.

Atheism is a lack of belief. Not a belief in absence. We leave the certainty to the religious people and we keep on walking toward a broader knowledge of the universe until eventually we realize we can't know everything, or we know everything... but I digress.

That sounds more like Agnosticism than Atheism.

I am so glad sometimes that discussing religion isn't allowed under the tos. :-?

You want it banned, you hit that little red exclamation mark. It won't ban itself, now will it?!

I wasn't suggesting that Bonobo should be banned. Far from it. Just that he has opened a tiny illogical window into a parallel universe in which we discuss religion on L19. Parallel, and frightening.

Oh :shock:

Please forgive me if I violated the TOS with my comment and/or if I hurt anybody’s feelings, this definitely was not my intention, that’s why I set a part of it cursive and had that other disclaimer (“is, to me, …”). From now on I’ll be more careful.

My comment was written rather light-hearted, as I have a hight tolerance for all kinds of beliefs (but not necessarily for the actions that may result from these). But I understand it could be interpreted otherwise.

Peace, Tom
