quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: No. You're confusing yourself. Inventory doesn't have to mean trade items. Don't you consider a station's assets to be part of its inventory? How thing they got there? Out of thin air? “No, No...they come from the replicators!” Slaps AE. “Wrong universe you idiot. You're going to get us in trouble!” AE: “I know, but it's fun!” [ 11-06-2001: Message edited by: Tyrn ]

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: [snip access to station inventory] You should. You have access to the station's inventory of assets, don't you? I think he's confusing station assets (Cap. Ships and friends) with the station's available trading inventory.

quote:Originally posted by DREADA: Impressive! Tyrn, we should have a faq or something at Wraith HQ perhaps, just explaining the logo's origin and what it symbolizes, ya know, something to school the Wraith Cadets on; Can't have them going around not know their history now can we! I don't think that the logos (Starburst or Wraith) should be the only focus. It's time that Wraith step up to the plate and really provide a reason for the commanders out there to enlist with us. I also think that for the time being that the discussion of such a FAQ would be better served on the internal fleet forum found in the Fleet Ops center.

Every time I try to log in, it kicks me out stating I haven't registerred yet. Try opening the forums in a new window, I had that problem and it went away as soon as I had the forums in the top window.

quote:Originally posted by Epsilon 5: Impressive ... but the wraith star seems a bit left from the center of the Earth when you look carefully. That's because the star burst is centered on the letter A in "WRAITH" and with an even number of letters, it's impossible to have that star burst centered both on a letter and on the center of the word. I don't have direct control over the star burst either.

quote:Originally posted by Jukka T. Paajanen: That's actually a HTML feature, and I'm pretty sure no UBB add-on offers this feature since it may have performance implications. Generally speaking there are two ways to achieve this: 1. Replacing all spaces with the HTML non-breaking space, &nbsp;. This approach is problematic, since non-breaking spaces interfere with text wrapping and may break HTML code, which is enabled in this forum. The replace procedure would take some CPU power or extra storage space off the server (reformatted message is either stored or message text reformatted per-request). There is a much better way of making sure that double spaces don't collapse and still not break line wrapping: &nbsp; Did you catch that? The trick is to insert one &nbsp; and follow it with a regular single space. The &nbsp; is treated as a character and not white space and the single space is treated as any other normal space and allows the line to wrap if need be.

That would be this rumor and that's all it is a rumor that has been proven false. PS. Someone care to move this post over to General Forum so as not to clutter this one?

Mine was nicely bound using a manual binder. Now the pages are horridly dogged eared and the binding is only holding in a couple of places. It now holds a place of honor on my bookshelf and I don't really dare touch the thing for fear of having it fall apart on me!

I have a great deal to say on the subject at hand: Evolution vs Creation but will sum it up instead of rambling for pages. BTW, this idea was sparked by a short essay I read some time ago (the link to which I do not have) so you may have heard this: I program for a living. When I write some specialized routine or set of routines that has pontential for use in other settings, I seperate it from the main program and package it so I can easily reuse that code. Sometimes it's simply stored as a snippet and sometimes it's compiled into a new library. Often, when I reuse these snippets or libraries, I find myself making small improvements; added funtionality, better optimization, whatever. In essence, my stored code slowly evolves. Regularly, once every year or two, my programming environment takes a major leap forward: New OS, new development platform, whatever. As a result my code all makes a major leap forward to adapt to what has happened. Despite all the changes, however, my code still functions (I hope) as it should and accomplishes all it needs to accomplish because I control the changes to my code. There are other changes made to my code as well. Programs crash, files get corrupted, libraries are replaced with incompatible ones, other such uncontrollable happenings. Such random and uncontrolled changes are not beneficial to the code I have so carefully preserved. Such random changes inevitably lead to instability and eventually, as the instabilities multiply, the system fails. See the law of entropy at work in the world of computers: Without outside control, complex systems inevitably grind to a halt. Look at life, any form of it. Is there a common thread to it all? Yes, DNA. In short, DNA determines the life form. DNA is different from species to species. How different? The difference from species to species is extremely small but extremely significant. All the information needed to build a human is written in a miniscule strand of data, data which we are only beginning to learn to read. Life, is it a complex system? Obviously. Has the core library been subjected to adaptive changes? Without doubt, the basic funtions are common to most DNA libraries but specific changes are clearly evident. The question then is this: Have these changes in the highly complex system of life come about from random sources or a controlled source?

Not dead yet...time to shake the dust off.

Interesting piece on the news last night, violent crime in the US is down 15% from last year.... Yes, yes, I'm looking up a link for that now, just wanted to post that while I hunt. Addtion: Now I want to know where they got their figures. The preliminary FBI figures for last year actually show a .01% increase for violent crime and an actual incress in crime rates of 0.0%. The most significant portion of the report was the two year trend tables. Those tables show dramtic decreases in all crime types since 1997. I find it interesting that while the "civilized" gun banning nations are seeing a marked increases in crime, the "uncivilized" gun bearing US has been experiencing a dramatic decrease with a one year lull when crime rates didn't fluctuate much (other than vehicle theft).

quote:Originally posted by MAsta_KFC: Oic. Hmmm, guess i have to spend the remaining 45 mins of my mission, tracking it down. Just one more question, does the Salamander patrol diff systems or it stays in Tyrinnis? Thanx for the help, guys. Patrols throughout the Gammula system. Here's some questions to ask yourself: A Gammulan carrier has just stolen a top secret GALCOM device. What would the Gammulan commander, being a good citizen of the Gammulan Empire, do with such a device? Where is the Gammulan High Command located? (Tip, this is also a hint as to the answer to the above question)

quote:Originally posted by Epsilon 5: No, that's what they said. Their ISP is restructuring his stuff and it make the network slowdown. But what they said does not explain a 120% increase in lag time between 24.221.240.197 and 66.1.191.80 when they are only hosting a simple text page at the moment. Nor does it explain the 1000% increase I was seeing across my T-1 and the 1300% against an entirely seperate T-1 between the same nodes listed above when they were "functioning". I'll give them the benefit of the doubt at this point as they are a handfull of teenagers trying to make all this work (and apparently learning it all at the same time).

quote:Originally posted by Eclipse: If I remember correctly, when the Salamanda docks the enm remains at the station it docks with, so in a later mission when your cruising around gammulan space, you will [robably find it. Correct and wrong. If you don't get the ENM at that point, you don't get it. The trick is to send out a shuttle during your first stint in Majoris and snag the HSD from the UCV-MOLONOK in Obsidia (you will have to manually pilot the shuttle through the flux fields). Actually grabbing the ENM from the Salamanda is what I consider to be the shinning moment in my BC3K career. The reason being that it's a real pain in the butt tracking down that cloaked Storm Carrier. NOTE Apparently someone has been able to find the ENM during the last mission as a cargo pod from a destroyed Gam station. I did not experience this but YMMV. [ 06-11-2001: Message edited by: Tyrn ]

quote:Originally posted by Tac: Ohhh...kaayy.... [snip] Thats one hell of an "Oops"! At last, I can break my silence. Up until this happened, a number of accounts were accessible WITHOUT a password. tyrn issfleet nightstar These were three BC related sites made vulnerable at mifix by this problem. All one had to do was know the username (not that hard to find) and viola! one had full access. I informed mifix about this as soon as I discovered it and have checked every account I could on mifix. Wraithfleet was not affected. Other non-BC sites were also affected by this. Am I surprised that Ben and friends nuked the server? No, these are a handful of teenagers making a first run at hosting a server. They are bound to make mistakes as they are still learning the ropes. Their biggest mistake (besides not making regular backups...oops) is that they don't make this clear to their users and make themselves out to be Might Web Masters™. I would suggest www.digital-host.net but their situation seems to be just as flaky.
