I love his rant about how he wants to start a space campaign on a budget of $1 billion dollars. Thats like telling the navy that they can only spend 5 bucks on a state of the art upgrade for the new retrofitted SSGN Ohio Classes. This was an even bigger joke than last year. Perhaps I'm blind, but the economy doesn't really seem to be getting better, your tax cuts didn't work Mr. Bush, because you spent more money than you recieved. And then the stuff about extending the Patriot Act. He didn't once mention about how the FBI, while using it to catch terrorists, is also using it against the common criminal. Heh, I've got math homework because I wasted my time watching this latest campaign speech, so I'm gonna go do it now, if I can stop laughing that is. (The $1 Billion budget for NASA tickles me)

Nope, because Windows Media Player requires IE6 support if I'm correct. Satur9, if you arn't already, help the movement to get IE support into WineX, currently this is keeping tons of games, of all versions of DX8, from working properly in WineX. Try downloading a codec pack, thats what I do anyhow. I won't guarantee it'll work. I spent about 3 hours one day trying to figure out how to get BCM working on WineX and then gave up. Also, it may have to do with the MSI installer as well, and the fact that the Audio stuff in Winex 3.2.1 are incomplete.

Ooo, a female character, thats risky. I had a female dancer on Galaxies once, decided that it was time to nix her after 40 people in a cantina asked me to strip. Sorry, but that bothers me, esp. since I was just using the char to check out some of the other professions. Hendrick, what server do you play on? I need to make a new character so maybe we can meet up sometime (My Master Bounty Hunter was told to master Image Design to open my FS slot.... what up wit dat?)

Honestly, if you ask me, If you play the sims seriously (as many fans of it do) you've got serious issues. I heard about that planetside thing, pity, how is PS these days EP5? I'm thinking of maybe buying a used copy from a friend and switching away from Galaxies (Finally).

I don't like the sound of this. Memory decays and becomes corrupt over time, whats to say that these new "memory tabs" won't do the same. If its anything like my flash disk that beast got corrupted by walking through a metal detector (Yes, don't ask me how, but the metal detector at my school's basketball games managed to corrupt files on my flash disk twice in a row... or it was just a freak incident that had good timing, either way.) I'm skeptical; its a good idea, but I can already see the flaws.

quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: Why are we comparing? I mean if you and I have different views on what a Republican and a Democrate are then isn't it kinda POINTLESS? You will most likely discredit what I said and I'll most likely discredit what you say.. So tell me why where comparing if it won't solve a thing? To prove a point. The truth is I didn't actually want you to compare. And I'm not attacking you directly, I'm simply retorting your comment, thats what you do in a debate. My point is that both parties attack each other to discredit them, just as comparing what each stands fore does. What the people have to do is to start widening their perspective on politics. This includes the people in this discussion, we all do it, and we need to really re-examine our political standpoint. And Kal, try watching some other news programs along with Fox News. My High School Government teacher had us do an exercise once where we all had to watch CNN and Fox news, then compare the news reports. Try this. Actually, everyone who wants to should try this. Now I've got to go to my Theatre Design class. (College sucks sometimes...)

Ignorance is bliss, but the truth is gold. Think about it Kal, research what you've said a little more. Here's a starting point. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3056626.stm Read it. You have to understand, both the republicans and democrats are at fault here. What will cause the United States to fall is if people don't stop the cutthroat rivalry that politics has erupted into. Each party stands for their own opinions, most people drift between the two. Tell me 5 good things that the Republicans SPECIFICALLY stand for (And this goes for Kalshion only guys, I want to see if he can do this) and I'll do 5 that the Democrats stand for as well after you do that. Then we'll compare. Oh, and I want EVIDENCE that they stand for that Kalshion. Prove it to me.

quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: What the hell happened to the bill of rights? it is slowly being eaten away and will continue to be eaten away until it's gone. Then we might as well just burn the constitution, because it won't mean anything, like it means anything now.... Because people are abusing our right to interpret it. We can only take interpretation so far before it becomes out of control like it has now. Sorry, while I liked some of what Clinton did as a president (Don't bleedin flame me already), I do have to agree, those files he pulled, scared the hell out of me. I didn't like Clinton's Gestapo and I sure as hell don't like Bush's Gestapo. This is for the war against terrorism? Bullshit. While yes, the patriot act has been used to fight terrorism, its been abused more than any law I know of. Like I said, this is bullshit; Welcome to the fall of the American Empire people, we've gotten ourself into this shit and we had better get ourselves out of it. America was created on the grounds of Civil Liberties; looks like those don't matter anymore. Wow Jag, pigs must be flying, I'm agreeing with you. Oh, and people this has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans, it has to do with Congressmen kissing Bush's buttocks. Both parties don't give a flying (place your own bad word here) about the Constitution anymore.

Yep, thats it. Most people here really enjoy roam mode, because its soooo open ended. Experiment, chances are, if you can think of it, you can probably do it (Within the limits of your battlecruiser).

Happy New Year Everyone!

quote:Originally posted by Jaguar: Oh, and WeeGee, I am NOT opinionated...... I'm just always RIGHT!!! LOL Heh, yea, always right Jag, you never say anything wrong (You really are awesome to debate with man). Um, SC I just noticed something, under the arts, the only thing you put in the description is Movies. Sorry, I think I've just been working in the "real" arts for a little too long (Theatre, and I say real loosely, both are very difficult and different artforms to master). Although I do realize thats just about all we talk about here, I'm just thinking if theatre is in the description maybe some of us might talk about theatre more. Sorry, but I can't help myself from promoting live theatre, when I say I work in theatre people always think the movies, and I guess its just starting to get to me. I got that flu around Mid-Terms last semester LostInSpace. Stay in bed, thats the only way to get rid of it, trust me. Don't give it a 100% ok yet either, it'll rebound in a heartbeat. Don't know if this will help, but try drinking some V8 Splash instead of Orange Juice. I got over it faster than my room-mate who was drinking Orange Juice when he had it, but it could just be differences in immune systems.

EP5, check your PM.

quote:Originally posted by Epsilon 5: I have a VERY odd problem with my sound system ( an old but reliable and good one) - sometimes for reasons i can't determine i lose sound in one side. It's really not the computer, but it seems that unplugging and plugging back in the cable from the computer end works . I put my headphones offset to my ears so i don't temporarily lose hearing capability .. oh and turn off the speakers (if applicable) Sounds like your plug may be going bad, or you've got dust in the jack. When your computer is off, try to stick a clean and I mean clean pipe cleaner down the jack. If its not like sterile it could make your problems worse (Trust me, I learned that the hard way; sound crackled in the final performance of a show people were paying $100 bucks to go see. Boy, did my boss beat the shit out of me for that one.) cause it can just deposit more dust into the jack. If that doesn't help, you might look to buy a new sound system, or pm me and I might be able to help you further. Oh, one last thing, if it isn't dust, try cleaning the plug with a little alcohol, then don't touch the tip before you plug it back in. Might just be hand oils on the plug causing it.

OH good god. What happened to the board? Hackers, had to be hackers. Orr... oh. Heh, I kinda like it, now I don't have to sift through the political garbage that tends to turn into fistfights . Great work SC P.S. No offense intended towards Jaguar or any of the other heavy political guys.

They might be talking about http://www.powerdefrag.com but I'm not 100% sure, I think I saw something about that some time ago. Personally, I use Norton Utilities Speed Disk myself. Its gotten to the point where I've used Speed Disk so long (I've got every version of Utilities since the Win31 days) that I don't really try anything else. Remember to disable your swap file before defragging, that helps period. Hope this helps, I hate defragging Esp. since all my hard disks now are 40+ gigs (I've got 3, 1 40, 2 80s, god, sound and video design sucks sometimes) Good luck, and get a good book, cause I know you know you'll need it Tac.

Here's my two cents: quote:Originally posted by IceCold: Your assessment of the French interest is correct but there is another aspect to Germany that most Americans do not realize. Germans seem to have militarism in their blood. Germany marches to full blown war whenever the country is unified and a catalyst is introduced to rekindle the fires of the Prussian spirit. Germany did not want the taste of war because they fear that they may come to enjoy it once more. Bingo! My German language teacher told us practically the same thing in her class (She was born and raised in Germany, right outside of Munich). She told us that when Germany unites in a war they refuse to give up, even if they don't quite agree with it. Look at GSG9, their National Counter-Terrorism unit; they take no prisoners, you even point a gun at them and they blow you to pieces. Compare that to the USA's FBI Hostage Rescue Team. If a shot is fired in an HRT mission there is extensive investigation as to why it was fired, and the officer is suspended during the investigation. I'm not 100% on this, but I think that if GSG-9 has shots fired the officer isn't suspended until the shot was deemed unlawful. Germany's military history also show's their might. The Holy Roman Empire, when unified by Charlemagne, won a series of wars. While the HRE did however have its losses, the German solders still fought with zeal unspoken of anywhere else in Western Europe. The Germans during both World War I and II, united, proved to be quite a hassle for their opposers, including us. And we caught them when they were worn down at the end of the wars. Funny thing is, we're the same way. Look at us, we didn't really have serious war for a while, and now we can't seem to get enough of it. Go figure.

I think I scored this year 1)Cossack's Anthology 2)Stronghold Warchest 3)Money! 4)A PS2->USB Controller Module. This little baby allows me to use my lovely PS2 controllers to really show people up in NHL2k4 at college. I really felt happy with what little I got this year, at least its something you know? Merry Christmas everyone!

Sigh, when will people be able to take a joke. Currently Vice City is one of the games I've been playing, and this just sort of pisses me off a little. The game is meant to have all the stereotypes in it. God, I hope they don't lighten up San Andreas because of this... I'm really looking forward to that one.

quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: Yeah, its gonna be cool; not as cool as Pong, but close. SC, why don't you add a pong minigame to play during transit and then it will be the coolest game ever! Seriously though, I'm looking forward to everything listed about as much as I look forward to spacing Resnig out the airlock every week!

Whats up all? Boy, just one more day and I'm done with this semester. This feels good, very good. I don't even have any finals, only final reports to do. Ahhhhh, freedom. (For a month at least ) Hope all is going well with you folks. Oh, and Infiltration 2.9 came out if any are interested. For those who are ignorant on this topic, Infiltration is a tactical gameplay mod for the first UT. 2.9 Is some serious professional quality stuff, Its well worth the download, or, if you a big fan like me, the CD. Anybody want to play anything this weekend? MTAVC, Inf 2.9, and BCMG are my suggestions. Hopefully I'll have time, but you never know what may come up. EDIT: Oh, and I registered with hte Fleet DB. I put my desired assignment down as Intel cause I didn't see forward scout, so I hope that isn't a big deal. Practically the same thing.

God help us all....

Sigh. I hate big business. The DMCA was made to help them stop their products from being stolen, and instead they abuse it by doing things like this. Why can't we all just play Battlecruiser games and get along?

No-life having?... Anyhow, I think my roommate may have taped it, I'll ask him tonight for you SC.

Hello hello! I love this month, only 20 more days until my b-day! Hope ya'll are doing well, I've been trying to keep up with the forum but am having 'net troubles. Don't really get any chances to get to a school computer on days that my net is out, sometimes I get to check my e-mail but rarely. I hope I've got them fixed. Anybody want to try a game of BCMG MP this weekend?
