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 ]

I don't believe that 16 year old kid deserved to have his life taken from him, because he made a bad decision to enter the house uninvited of an armed man. 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.

quote: In Australia Guns are banned and the crime rate increases. In the UK guns are banned and gun related crime goes down.It is interesting to note, however, that violent crime is UP. So, let me see - ban guns, and gun crime drops. But crime overall climbs. Hmmm. Yeah, guns are the problem. One must wonder if guns are a deterrent to violent crime. I think so. Fendi: well made point.

Therefore, I'm downloading the patches again and will follow your instructions to the letter. If that fails, I will try the first game - I still have the original patches for it - and launch into space yet!!! No problem. In truth, I had the exact same problem as you when I get going. Just be sure to manually delete the BC3K folder after uninstall.

Heh, good post.

Heh, good post.
