IMO the war on terrorism is totally useless unless we are going to do something about protecting our borders. Does anyone else find it quite odd that we will spend billions of dollars hunting down Alqaeda or going to war with Iraq but have done little to nothing to prevent them from wandering into our country on work VISA's or or student VISA's etc. Where the hell is homeland security if we are going to let anyone and everyone enter and wander around in our country seemingly at will?? Helllooooo McFly!!!!!! [ 12-09-2002, 06:24 PM: Message edited by: Andergum ]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god is that funny...

I really miss Doctor Who Although I have every episode possible so I can watch it anytime I want Some new ones would be nice though.

from the main page at Hardocp.com "ATi Statement on AGP8X: ATI is aware of a small number of reports of incompatibility between the RADEON 9700 PRO graphics accelerator and certain AGP 8X motherboards. It is important to emphasize that the number of incidents is very low. Extensive testing has been done, in conjunction with motherboard chipset manufacturers, motherboard manufacturers and with retail available motherboards, to determine if compatibility issues exists. From these tests, it has been concluded that no compatibility issues exist with the current or soon to be released AGP 8X motherboards. Some end users have reported issues to our Customer Service department that we are investigating. From the data that has been gathered, it appears that issues that have been reported are caused by individual board issues and are not indicative of a general compatibility issue. RADEON 9700 PRO product owners are encouraged to contact our Customer Service Department should they have an operational problem with their product. In addition, it is important to ensure that appropriate system preparation is done prior to installing the RADEON 9700 PRO. We recommend installing the latest motherboard BIOS in the system as well as the latest available AGP drivers. Many of the 8X issues have been resolved with an updated BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer. From what we have seen here and from what other webmasters have shared with us it does seem to be the mainboard and PSU builders "fault" that certain compatibility issues exist. We are still trying to get a grasp on this ourselves." As for thinking true AGP8X was going to come to market without any glitches to handle is certainly a pipe dream. If we all hang in there and make sure we report the problems we see back to ATi and the company that builds your particular mainboard, we will certainly get things worked out sooner. Remember, teamwork, as a community is key for smoothing out the AGP8X road. So let's all be part of the solution, and not part of the problem. Report your problems to the appropriate support department with full system, OS, and driver specs. " It looks like the 8xAGP mobos may be at fault, or a combination of the two. At any rate if you are worried about compatibility problems it is best to wait a bit for everything to be sorted out.

OMG this is too weird... http://www.nylottery.org/games/numbers.php tonights winning pick 3 game numbers.... 9-1-1

Interesting to see that they are banning games in Greece and that it is a haven for terrorist activities. This should make the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens really interesting.

Too funny... I love Triumph too... for me to poop on!!!

If there had been no "Latino looking" people in the movie then they would probably be whining about that. sigh.. Anyway I went last night to see it and I must say it is much better than the last couple of Star Wars movies. (Empire still my fav but not by much) Yeah some of the acting isn't so hot, and some of the love dialog is downright hokey, but the effects and story made up for it. Heh, I seem to remember Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford looking pretty bad in some parts of the first SW movie too. Don't believe me go back and watch it again. I really liked the weapons and effects when Jango was being pursued by Obi-Wan in the asteroid field and the last battle was AMAZING!!! Think Aliens meets Gladiator meets Starship Troopers meets Star Wars. WOW!!! I'm going to see it again soon just to see that battle!! Oh yeah, and Natalie Portman's clothes getting more and more ripped off as the battle progressed was nice too [ 05-20-2002, 18:42: Message edited by: Andergum ]

I saw it Saturday night too. Simply awesome.

Thanks guys!! I have a feeling I'm going to be 39 for a few more years.

I'm here as well!

Oh my!! I've just seen the ICV Necromancer pulling into port. Attention on deck!!!! Hand salute!!! Welcome back Rattler!

Hey Shohashi... Do you have me on your ICQ ignore list?? I sent you a couple of messages last night and got no response. BTW I'm back to using my original UIN (#215323). It had been stolen for a bit but I was able to get it back. I've also started using Trillian for all my messaging programs. Trillian rocks!! I've got all my contacts from AOL IM, Yahoo, MS messenger etc.. all on one list. Give me a holler next time you see me online. I want to make sure that Trillian is working properly. Thanks.

I'm here... just in lurk mode. I've just been too busy lately with the holidays and work and those endless home improvement projects.... Anyway, I'm still here, just not as active as I would like to be. Patiently waiting for MP just like everyone else [ 01-09-2002: Message edited by: Andergum ]

Was a snap to setup and my DL speeds are even better than they were before about 160kps. I got the exact same results here. I previously used a PPPOE to connect to my DSL and XP set it up almost automatically using its own drivers. By far the easiest internet connection setup I've ever seen. Its a bit faster now to boot.

Totally lame review IMO despite the seemingly good scores... Here's a quote from the review that shows me that he didn't play it for more than a few minutes. " I was outraged at the total lack of other traffic in space, other than space stations that are manually placed, and enemy craft that seem to magically appear when you fire upon their stations. This is by far my biggest beef with the program. Is there absolutely no other traffic in space besides military craft? What about trading? What about transporting goods?" mmmmmkay...

hmmm... any chance of loading Resnig into a missile tube and using him as a dumbfire missile??? Fire one!!! thud....

quote: Originally posted by Simparadox: I'd be more worried about the potential effect it could have on multiplayer games. But I'd assume the multiplayer patch would include a lot of exploit/cheat fixes anyway, right? patient - "Doctor it hurts when I do that..." doctor - "So don't do that" I would equate the "shuttle exploitation loophole" to using a cheat code like "god" mode in a FPS game. If you feel the need to "cheat" then use it by all means. I agree that it is something that will have to be changed for multiplayer though. Otherwise ships with shuttles will have a huge unfair advantage over those without.

I like the Garid and Warmonger. Big enough to take on the huge ships, and small anough to take on the fighters.

I noticed the same thing at Pixan. Pixan is orbiting the planet and there is an identical "twin" starstation right next to it called "supply platform.3d" They are both type 4 stations and are both multinational/raiders. http://home.covad.net/~andergum/PHOTO000.gif this was in a roam scenario as an insurgent commander BTW [ 11-22-2001: Message edited by: Andergum ]

I like the space marines that were trying to attack my station. I hadn't seen those before... Had a blast launching missiles at them. heh, in space no one can hear you scream, but in BCM you can hear them grunt. [ 11-22-2001: Message edited by: Andergum ]

yeah.. I'm still lurking in the shadows... haven't seen Rattler in a while.. covert ops I suspect.. [ 11-14-2001: Message edited by: Andergum ]

I'm still lurking around as well... just been very busy lately. My BCM site is back up, although it needs some updating. http://geocities.com/andergums/ http://members.fortunecity.com/andergum/ Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on it soon. Feel free to grab anything you want.
