quote:I'm also looking for semi-skilled secreterial type positions, Accounting Clerks, Accountants, Computer Techs and Programmers.Darkling, I know of two unemployed computer techs and a third who can probably be coaxed out of retirement. Not to mention my son who will be graduating and looking for work (in the same field) not too far down the time line. All are U.S. citizens. All do quality work ... and expect to be compensated likewise. What can I tell 'em about your organization?

Well ... let's see. When Barry Allen first became The Flash, he was my favorite. Then, when Hal Jordan first became Green Lantern, he was my favorite (and I learned the little "brightest day, blackest night" ditty). Of course, there was The Fly (easier to memorize his ditty). And a group of people who weren't the Fantastic Four but stuck together after surviving a crash or explosion or something. Let's not forget John Jones (though I have forgotten how he spelled his real name) ... that first episode didn't even make it to the front of the magazine. But, for at least a week or two, he was my favorite. Then there was the time I got an archery set and Green Arrow (long before GA lost his fortune and his sidekick) was my favorite. Never give a kid a paper bullseye stuck to a bail of hay thinking it will keep him out of trouble with a bow and arrow. And, to this day, Rusty Jory wishes he'd kept that closet full of comics. Even the ones he bought for five cents (full price was ten cents) because the cover had been removed and replaced with a clear red sheet of plastic.

Anything in 3-D on your standard TV set. Make sure you do a "color adjustment" at least once.

Bad move for the Doctor. Granted, he can't cross his own time line (or so he said) but I don't see why he couldn't have booked immediatley after rescuing Rose ... then picked up a load of weapons somewhere that would be effective against Daleks. And some old British Army buddies who could properly use the weapons. Then build a delta wave machine with focusing capability. Then, after he and she and the Captain and the Army guys were all primed and ready, set the Tardis to materialize back at the station just a few seconds past Rose's rescue. No conflict in time lines. After arriving, all the Doctor would've needed to do is hook up the already-built delta wave machine, focus it, and fire away ... while everyone else defended (successfully) the station. Regeneration must damage brain cells. No wonder a Time Lord only gets twelve shots at it.

These are the people who will be administering Social Security in a few years. And writing our income tax pamphlets. And other stuff.

I hear the "4400" will be saving the world next season ... from the three or four Daleks that get (er, got) past Doctor Who this (oik, last ... Time is so confusing) season. I guess the writers decided that the movie doctors don't count ... in terms of the number of lives allocated a Time Lord.

Assume another deployment is somewhere down the pike and take advantage of her time off. Treat her to a soda at the malt shop. And a steak dinner. But steer clear of the casino buffets.

quote:Originally posted by ShoHashi: ...does the the Cybermen, Mary Jane and K-9 ring any bells? Indeed. Sometimes you just gotta take a break from all that "realistic" sci-fi and go with what's fun. Like a Time Lord taking on half-a-million androids (Daleks) all by himself.

What amazes me is that sooooo many people didn't see this coming. And those who did, and complained, were ridden out of town on a rail.

Tried many times w/o any luck ... making no changes except defragging. Then, after reading a post here at 3000AD, did just one thing ... uninstalled Nero. Afterward, game ran fine.

quote:Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: Do us ALL a favor and vote this ******* out asap. I wouldn't be in too big a rush to do that. Reid has seniority and is one of the few Nevadans with both the power and resolve to continue blocking Yucca Mountain. 'Though I have no idea why he even bothered to make that "racist" statement. Especially with Bush's corporate Republicans doing their best to bushwhack any effective legislation or the enforcement of current laws. Before you toss Reid out on his ear, ask him why he did what he did. And if perhaps he might be in a mood to re-think his position.

quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: He's suppose to represent the state of Nevada, but instead he's HARMING the state by voting against this amendment Then let him know how you feel. You can send an email directly to Harry Reid or to Reid via Congress. Just remember to carefully proofread anything you send ... before you send it. Make certain your email doesn't mistake "to" for "two" or "too" ... or "your" for "you're" or "its" for "it's" or any of the kazillion mistakes most spell-checkers never catch. If you're unsure of your spelling or grammar, run it by your dad ... or somebody else educated before 1980. If you want to be taken seriously by your federal representative, be serious in your written correspondence.

quote:After some flying I turned around and saw my ship being towed away, joy!. Unfortunatly It hyperdrived away with my ship leaving me stranded...From TacOps, you should be able to order the CC into your sector of space. Although, depending on where it was towed, it could take quite a while to make the trip ... and, if it was short on fuel, it might not make it all the way. Then again, I never requested a tow prior to EVA. It didn't seem the prudent thing to do. Consequently, I have no idea if a towed CC can dock without the commander aboard ... or if, afterward, repairs can be made and it can then be ordered to undock. Maybe Ben knows. Bottom line when all else fails: fiddle with the options in TacOps. They're usually your best chance for survival.

quote:Oaths of Enlistment and Oaths of Office: "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962). "I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)The Army version. Other services say pretty much the same thing. To repeat: "...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States...." Keep in mind, it is still the politician who writes the Constitution. And it is still the reporter who speaks out when it is being violated. As far as it being humor, I suppose it depends on how many beers you've had. The military is like a family ... in the same way most any group is like a family. And one of the things about a family is they usually get the "inside joke" ... while others might not. Back when the Internet got started, you would find warnings about how what you intended to say might be interpreted differently once in print. Ergo, "j/k" and other similar doo-dads. Admittedly, there are people in the military who would like to kick ass occassionally. But they refrain from doing so. 'Cause it wouldn't be a very good example of defending the Constitution. If anything, it would be a violation. So, instead, jokes are made. And shared with those of similar background. Family. If civilians don't think it's funny ... well, maybe they should listen in on a few of the jokes doctors tell one another. Or firefighters. Or police officers. You name it. Just keep in mind that it's a family joke.

I'd pass that on to everyone I ever flew with but, if I did, they would probably collectively kick my ass. I can't think of a better way to alienate the civilian population. Happy Easter.

Something for everybody. Who says you can't find anything good on the SciFi Channel? No he doesn't. Not anymore.

The rest is set to max realism. Btw, if you don't like bad weather, find a day when the weather is to your liking ... then save and exit the game every 24 hours of game time. The weather (and moon phase, for that matter) will never change.

Nice textures for the TOS Enterprise. Thanks.
