Also, everyone here should be forewarned: if ANYONE in this community is found to be placing pornographic material ANYWHERE in relation to Battlecruiser, they WILL be banned from this site, permanantly - no appeals will be heard. I honestly doubt that any of you are responsible but, I have a SERIOUS problem with ANYONE who would make such images readily available to children. Also, whomever sends me those coordinates, please do so in private - we don't need to broadcast it where younger people may be reading. I'd look for them myself, but I prefer not to see such smut.

Is anyone going to send me the coordinates or am I just spinning my wheels? Hamblin: Stop it, man. This old heart of mine is weak and can't handle the shock.

But for a Droidan/Police... well, that just doesn't fit at all. (When I said it was too flashy, I was referring to #2... just for everyone's future and present reference. ) There is NO universal police organization. The closest to that would be GALCOM.

Guys, I'll report this to AW but there really isn't a damned thing we can do about it. Paying members won't find their works adultered, but non-paying members should be forewarned that anyone can change your work. Anyway, someone send the coordinates of what is happening to me via private message or email to [email protected] and until further notice, do NOT change anything. There's no need to cover up the evidence of this. Just simply stay out of AW for awhile or become a member so your work can be preserved. Thanks, Mike [ 06-23-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]

whoa, I think 4 is awesome. Good work. The bird goes better with police, I think.

Now that is insane, if not hilarious. Shingen - it's no joke. Take a look at the link given. [ 06-22-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]

So, two books into a 6 hour (sorta) sitting. Considering the second book was somewhat thin, I don't see this being a problem...but they'll never be able to squeeze Leto Atreides life and symbiosis(sp?) with the sandtrout in that time frame.Aw well. Yep. You can find that here: http://www.scifi.com/dune/feat15.html .

Uhm, excuse me, but I recall this thread being for Insurgents only.

Good. Now that I have your attention, please go visit the base. Insurgents should NOT let the work of another Insurgent fall upon blind eyes and deaf ears. So, who's going to be the first to request clearance *ahem*.

Now, get in here: http://www.3000ad.com/cgibin/ultimatebb.cg...c&f=16&t=000067

I just hope no kid gets the wrong idea and tries this at home. (Yeah, I'm a cat lover - got a problem with it? )

Before you launch the program, you have to do the sound setup. Also, are you trying to run it in software or hardware rendering?

"Moral officer"? Orion has morals? Ahh, "Morale officer". Yeah, you do need one of those.

quote: I was terribly dissapointed by the remake. It may have been truer to the books, but the quality of the movie was absolutely horrendous.I disagree. I thought the quality was outstanding. quote: The acting was mediocre, the stages were lame (The painted backdrops were so rediculously amateur that I felt almost ashamed to be watching it), the special effects were lousy, and I could keep going on forever. Alas, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. The painted backdrops were a good compliment and were hardly amateur, the acting was VERY stylized theatrically (which is something I enjoy immensily), and the special effects were leaps above those of the original movie. Also, the cinematography was outstanding with lots of sensical camera movements. And whomever thought of that lighting was brilliant - I loved the scenes where it would subtlely go from day to night. It was hardly noticable except on a second glance. quote: The original Dune movie was far more realistic and believable than the new one by a far cry.Hehe, now you be stretching. As John Lynch (the director) would even tell you, realism was not was the original movie was shooting for. It was supposed to show off a more surreal imagery approach to Dune. The original had zero in the way of charactor development, rushed the ending, and poor acting (see my next point). And I absolutely HATED the "thought" voice overs in the original. This is what acting is for - to SHOW what a charactor is thinking. Besides, no one really cared about what most of the charactors were thinking because they weren't developed, anyway. At least Lynch produced a director's cut without the voice overs. Yuk. Dune is far too epic to attempt to capture in a two hour movie. That simply not enough time to develop charactors in what is a charactor-driven story. The story is not about worms, fighting, etc - it is about the coming of age of a religious leader, and his struggles. It's about sacrifice and loss. None of this was depicted in the original movie.

"I hate Chinese". CHINA is a nation. Anyone who is in China is Chinese. Chinese, in normal usage of the term, is not a racial expression. "I hate Asians" would be a racial expression. Is "I hate Americans" racist? I think not. However, "I hate Hispanic Americans" would be. So on and so forth.

quote: Originally posted by Shingen: Have you guys seen the 2000 remake of Dune? Man did that movie suk! I liked the original soooo much better! That's the one I liked. The first movie was too grotesque and wasn't very true to the story at all. The new one was quite imaginative while staying with the story rather well.

Oh yeah, the Insurgents and all their military might is afraid of the cops.

Yep. I liked it. Bought the DVD.

Considering that there are about 10 things in those emails that are expressly forbidden in the Bible, we can be sure that religion isn't a motivation. Opportunism, however... Contact the authorities. As much as these code-kiddies think that they can hide themselves, they are wrong.

OK, this is getting ridiculous. It's just a name. Somehow, it has turned into a petty dicksizing competition. Let's get back on topic please. Feel free to continue your discussions via private messages. Anymore posts on the name subject will be deleted. [ 06-15-2001: Message edited by: aramike ]

My stereo system is just not worth his life.Of course your stereo system isn't worth his life. But, is the safety of you and your family worth it? Yep. What, should we all wait to discover the criminal's intentions before we take action? I don't think so.
