Roger, I'm still here and kicking boo-tay.

lol... I didn't catch it at first when I read it last night.. I read it kinda late. While I was running errands today I thought back "Dihydrogen Monoxide; what is tha.... (Severe Laughter)". You nearly killed me Tigerclaw; I almost lost control of my car. Good one though. EDIT: And no, I didn't read either of the links completely until about 5 minutes ago, I simply skimmed over them last night.

Guys, I need to apologize, but I won't be able to be on at 9 tonight. Mother decided that we we're all going out to dinner tonight all of a sudden... kinda weird if you ask me, we only go out to dinner to celebrate. Plus my cat ran off last night; haven't seen him all day. Getting kinda worried to, the daliy afternoon T-Storms are beginning to roll in. Is tomorrow ok for you all? I know I can be on around 9:30 tomorrow. (I was planning on it anyhow)

Lots. The X800 outperforms the 6800 easy. There's no contest between the Geforce 5900 and the ATI Radeon 9800; ATI wins even on a bad day. Drivers arn't really an issue with Radeons. They still do manage to come out with shitty drivers, but nVidia does the same crap from time to time. The only time that drivers are an issue with radeon's is in linux; Geforce wins in that market. I dunno what cards you all have been using, but until the Geforce 6800 the Radeon 9800XT was unbeatable.

Excellent. Chavik? I wouldn't want my own CO to miss this.

Figured this was something for the pinboard. I realized that the Red Star Mk. II has not gotten a formal christening yet and I was wondering if some of you would like to join me sometime later this week to give her the unofficial not-so-quite first voyage? Right now I'm looking at either Wednesday or Thursday at around 9:00pm EST, but if any of you want to come but can't make it at that time, we might be able to work out a different time. Anyone interested?

That saddens me, but I won't admit that I didn't expect it. Sometimes I wish that movie makers wouldn't make the story "better". Especially with classic novels such as "I, Robot".

quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: It will probably never be proven, but Hawking is also one of the best free thinkers and physicists that we have today. Not in our lifetime, but most likely it will be proven in the future. Perhaps when manned (or larger unmanned) deep space travel can happen and is affordable. About the hypothesis/theory thing, for Hawking this was a little more than a hypothesis; mathmatically he had proved it, making it a theory. But, later, when he ran another trial on the theory; and I say this as how I've been told; he couldn't prove it much futher than his first time. Theories, as you know Jag, are hypothesis that are proven, but they are not set in stone at all, as you also know (and have stated, I'm simply reiterating for others who didn't understand this completely.) Just another day in the science.

Great Read SC. You said it how it is. Good luck getting the license. I hope you get it; just as you're loyal to people, most of us here are loyal to good developers (aka, you...) I know you could make an awesome game out of the Freespace universe.

lmao... lmao... lmao... SC, you're gonna kill me with this tim...... (beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. )

My only question for you SC, is would you keep it true to the name. Freespace has never been as complex as Battlecruiser ever has been, was, will be, etc. I've got perfect faith that you could do this, but I'm always skeptical about new developers taking over old projects and not keeping them faithful to the title.

I doubt that shutting down their authentication servers for counter-strike will cause issues with Homeworld and other Sierra games. Each game most likely has its own seperate authentication server.

Heh, I was wondering when somebody would link to maddox's website. This is a funny one.

Um, can we make the chat session in a week or so... I'm currently on vacation at my father's sooooo, it wouldn't be a good thing for me to blow him off for battlecruiser. Somehow I don't think he'd like that.

So true though.

Have fun next week Chavik. I'm gonna be visiting my father myself; dunno if I'm excited or not though. I'm going to *attempt* to play online for a bit in a couple minutes. I just stopped my computer from optimizing the drive that UC is on, and its gone from 40% fragmentation to about 70% fragmentation because of this. Heh, don't think this is gonna turn out too well... Edit: Actually, I'm not right now, no one is on, but if somebody wants to play, I'm on Xfire (wow, thats what we call a run-on.) Edit2: Wow....... 70% fragmentation is bad. Ummm, I'm gonna have to pass tonight. Sorry all. [ 07-01-2004, 08:20 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr. WeeGee ]

quote: You, a Republican? Yeah, right.....LOL You are a card carrying liberal, bud. Once again your ignorance shows Jag. I say this since you claim all Republicans are conservative. I'm gonna say this again, and I hope it soaks in to some of you this time. The Political spectrum is a measurement of opinions of a person. Liberal, which is commonly associated with the Democrats, means one wishes a progression. Conservative, which is commonly associated with the Republicans, means one wishes it to stay the same. In fact, no one party is all conservative or all liberal, and eventually this "Eww, your liberal, your bad" additude is going to rip us all apart. If we don't progress, we don't get anywhere. In fact the democrats are the party for the working classes. Thats not to say that the Republicans who have money are not working people. The democratic party often supports the blue collar workers, who are represented by the Unions and organizations that support the Democrats. You of all people should know this Jag; you're such a history buff. Those unions are the factory workers of our country, who benefit this country as much as the people who manage them. All those charts show is that Republican supporters often in fact are not organized and are individuals who make a little more than their organized blue-collar counterparts. And give us a break with the liberal is going to destroy this country crap. You've got some liberal opinions as well, namely the patriot act. Wiretapping citizen's homes was not common practice before the patriot act. I'd say that's a pretty liberal decision on the President's part. Liberal isn't a derogative, its sad that since the end of the cold war it has become one. I suppose American's need some kind of cold war; sad that we've started one in our own damn country.

Ummmm, why would they do that... Lets see, lets cancel a new game so we can attempt to improve on a failing old game. Yea, that makes sense.

quote:Active members? That actually play UC? (DIG DIG)Hey! I play UC, I just don't have the time to play it in multiplayer right now! Being unemployed sucks right now as there are no jobs out there, and what I have done for a little extra money is leaving me at the end of the day not wanting to look at a computer screen right now (web design). Personally, I think we should start training and practicing for an eventual fleet battle. Perhaps a private forum would be good to discuss battle-tactics. As for our own domain, thats possible as well. I'm still working on getting that UC Fan Site up and running, the website is almost complete, but the server is becoming more difficult than I expected. If you guys want space I can spare some, but I dunno how long it'll be until I can get this thing running. We also need to be actively recruiting people. Galcom has numbers on us. We've got a lot of new people coming in here, we should be really getting our name out, and we have to some extent we just need more. There's my 2 cents. P.S. And Chavik, I'll try to get a little MP in tomorrow night if I can, but I won't guarantee anything.

*slurp* Oh, this is your soda? (Hands to street) None of it matters now, its done; Iraq is now a soverign state, Al'Quaeda is getting routed by special forces, and we're traning Iraqi troops. Lets just do what we have to and leave it at that. Debating about things past is a growing fad in politics, but really what is the use. What people should be debating about is what we will do next, as in the future. Pass me the bag of popcorn please, SC.
