This particular time I don't think you should have done his research for him. Something not right.

Boston Rob was consistent at least. I actually liked him. Rupert deserves the million because he was a good survivor without actually backstabbing anyone. Then again maybe he did. So much editing on that show. If Matt from two (?) years ago had been in all stars I would have voted for him. It's a life lesson.

Well WeeGee I don't know what to tell you. I have talked to several HVAC guys and even my best friend is a very good one. They all think it should "walk with it". It don't. I think it's a combination of several factors. With the compass orientation of the house, the bay windows, the other oversize windows, The brown roof, no shade, Water heater in the kitchen, washer and dryer in the kitchen, two refrigerators I have quite a heat load. But I'll run this thing till it drops and then go for a three ton. I can probably get one real cheap knowing all the vendors I do. What I had at Applebee's wasn't bad. They certainly lean towards the Southwest flavor now. I had Fajitas con Sizzling. Which makes no sense. I remember enough spanish to know that con means "with". So that's fajitas with sizzling. Fajitas with sizzling what? Oh well. It was good anyway. I was playing single player. I think I have been properly initiated now. My ship is beat to hell and back. I got two fighters that won't charge, Three dead marines, and the stupid flight engineer in SC1 must be Resnig's cousin because he's only at 3% fatigue when everyone else is at like 15 - 17%. Oh, and I did the pilot swap thing which seemed to work great. I had one pair with 7 confirmed kills but then they go and get killed.

Done and done.

Well I'll be. It is real. Or: Speak of the devil and he appears. Infinium Labs sets launch date for Phantom.

Busy, busy weekend. Played UC yesterday for a long time. Then when I found out my dad wouldn't be able to come over I played some more. Today my dad was refreshed and he came over and we put another 20 amp circuit in the house and installed a window unit to supplement by central unit. Poor little 2 ton (we think, the stickers are faded) unit just couldn't ever keep up with the Alabama sun. There is not a shade tree within 50 ft of my house plus I have brown shingles. Productive weekend. Then we did the Mother's Day dinner out thing at Applebee's. Pretty good time. Pretty good weekend.

quote:The greatest president of this century would be Ronald Reagan.Incorrect. That would be last century. quote: President Reagan freed more people then any person in the entire history of the world.Not gonna touch that. quote:He also created the most robust and strongest economy we have ever hadHe ceratinly was feel good. Too bad nothing trickled down to me. quote:and did his damndest to shrink government,Perhaps. I'll take your word in that. quote: and he would have gotten away with it if the Democrats hadn't controlled both the senate and the house.I tend to feel it's best when there is contention in the government. No one can get way with too much. quote: for the last 20 years, we have been living his economic legacy, quote:and for the last 3 or so, we have been living Clintons. I have seen you post up to a 12 year time frame for a president's economic policies to take effect. Using 12 years we are just coming out of Reagan's recessions. And it will be six more years before we see what Clinton did. I will give you this. Reagan certainly was feel good for the time. I beleived in him until nothing trickled down to me. A good attitude can certainly jump start the economy by exciting businessmen. However, as you have stated it is the budgetary policies that take longer to kick in. Therefore you have a duality in economics that I personally do not have the ability to decode. Anything new on the draft stuff?

quote:How do I get to be a Mal-content?Which manual are you quoting that from ? Hehe. It seems familiar. ( I have used "seem" far too much tonight. ) Regardless of his register date Shingen is pretty much a vet. Some great arguments on Usenet huh? You are in a pickle. Every indie that has posted has posted when no other indies were interested. Sucks don't it? You may certainly try to drum up support for the Indies by using the Private Message function. Seems like you are disgusted with that though. Balor is the Supply and perhaps escort fleet of the Insurgency. Bishamon (ShoHashi's fleet) seems more suited to your desires. Allow Shohashi to respond to the thread before you apply for a particular fleet.

What's good for the Boardroom is good for America. Seems to be a quote. Seems to be from the 1800's. Anyone familiar with this? I am not fond of posting stuff I only partially remember but this is tickling my brain something fierce and seems to be appropriate for this thread.

"Severe happiness" Almost on oxymoron. Interesting phrase. Glad you're back. It's nice to be home isn't it? Where were you? Still doing lighting in the theatre? Webspace? Hmmmmmm. I "might" need a temporary site for my character page and of course the fleet page. I'm such an old fogey ain't I? Scared of change. But change I must. AOL on dial up is getting really old. Eclipse (Kyle Antilles) is the only memeber checking in from Spectre. Echo is the only member checking in from Eversor. So far I'm missing dreadx and Cruis.In. You missing anybody Sho?

quote:Originally posted by Kalshion: Chavik, it's public knowledge that the Government has been trying for years to put a TAX on the internet I know. The States have been salivating for years over the potential revenue. The Fed has been the one to slow it down. That is at least how I understand it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I pre - ordered it a month ago. I hope it is done right as well.

Hey El Che, have you done anything yet?

quote:NukeIt: That's not to say I haven't already managed to blow myself, my CC, and my crew up in every concievable way known to man. Why do you think I call my ship the Phoenix?

I thought they weren't going to tax the internet. Oh, but fees aren't taxes. I forgot.

quote:This forum is for intelligent discussions about politics & region. No flaming. No rudeness. And no Taliban! I like Wolferz. please actually argue against him instead of being rude. Big corporates DO have money to throw at politicians.

quote:flat screen tv, is nothing compared to freedom. I would rather be free, own nothing, and sleeping in the woods, rather than be locked in a cage, with ALL the luxury society has to offer True and that was part of my point. I said so up top of this page. It would ruin me even if I had "privileges". I showed the article to support my assertation that the TV is a form of crowd control.

Robots considered for Hubble. Cool. quote:NASA's associate administrator for space science, Ed Weiler, is becoming more and more a believer that a robot could extend Hubble's life. He's even considering making the next-generation James Webb Space Telescope modular so robots could replace parts; the telescope will be launched in 2011 to a point 1 million miles from Earth, well beyond human reach. Way cool. quote:Besides popping in new batteries, the robotic repairman probably would be directed by ground controllers to install motion-control gyroscopes. It would be easier to slap new ones on Hubble's exterior, rather than open the doors and replace the old ones. Can I gloat some? quote:Depending on how aggressive NASA wants to be, the robot also could try to install a $176 million pair of cameras. But one camera would require opening one of Hubble's dreaded doors, which might be warped and cantankerous from their years in space. "If you supply power and you supply gyros, wouldn't it be idiotic if you opened the doors, put in a new instrument and can't close the doors and you've got scattered light all over the place?" Weiler says. Ok. I can live with not putting in anything new. quote:At the very least, Weiler says, NASA needs to launch and dock an engine and propulsion module to steer the 25,000-pound telescope into a Pacific grave a decade from now. I still think one of those Ion engines with small but steady thrust would work to keep it in orbit. But there is thrust to mass and all sorts of stuff to consider so maybe I am being silly. Sorry I didn't pick up on your Robonaut reference Dreada. I thought you had just coined the phrase.

Oregon Inmates get Flat Screen TV's http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/05/03/pris...v.ap/index.html quote:Krahmer bought the $300 television with money he earned working in prison, where he is paid a few dollars a day for computer drafting. Inmates also must have clean discipline records to qualify for the flat-screens. quote:Rank and file officers, however, are nearly as happy as the inmates. "It's cut down on the number of inmates that come out in the evening to watch TV," said Julian Ruiz, a corrections officer who operates electronic door locks and monitors a cell block. "The more people you get down here in the evening, the more problems."

I looked up Mutant X. That's even worse. $18 for Disc 1 of season one. There are 7 discs. That's $126 times 3 seasons is $378. Babylon 5 looking like a relative steal now.

I was in marching band. Does that count? I can left face, right face, about face, march 8 to 5, and parade rest. Oh and I can mark time as well. We high stepped that though. I think military just moves their knees a little.

I thought this thread was about general post apocolypse junk. Not Starcruisers and fighters. Even for the Rubbish Pit and Politics threads should stay sort of on topic. Except for certain political topics which go all the way around the world and back again. But I put it back. Luckily it was in my cache. I messed the link up though. Might have been something you would have been interested in.

Not my story. It was Epsilon5's.

Epsilon5 previoius post. ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] While this is science fiction .. do you think it's so far from reality? quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2141 The technical advances made in the field of nuclear fusion in the last years were also utilized in arms development, which now results in the manufacturing of advanced hydrogen bombs in large numbers by the Federation. These offer an unimaginable concentration of radioactivity while showing a huge explosive effect and a high sphere of impact at the same time. The new warheads are used by the Federation mainly for the Cold Fusion long-range missiles. February, 11th 2143 In the morning hours of February 11th the Starcruiser launches for its first and last voyage. 3,000 colonists from all population layers of the Chinese Empire are aboard. The destination of this voyage is kept secret. So is the technology which was installed in the last six months as an enhancement to the fusion drive. February, 13th 2143 Two days following the launch of the Starcruiser the ship disappears from the instruments of imperial ground control. After a short search a Chinese flight squadron finds some debris which probably belongs to the Starcruiser. February, 14th 2143 China accuses the Federation of not being able to accept the technological advancements of the Empire and implies that the Starcruiser was destroyed by a federation fighter squadron for this reason. The violent tempered Chinese dictator Xu Derui threatens the Federation with vengeance for the death of the 3,000 colonists. February, 15th 2143 President Eva Goreman announces that the Federation has no interests in the Chinese plans for colonization and that they never had planned to sabotage them. Furthermore she considers the claims of China holding a technological leading position to be bold and provocative. China could only rightfully claim this, if they were in possession of detailed information about Federation technology. Should China thus have admitted the industry spying indirectly? Further on, Goreman announces that she feels sorry for the Starcruiser incident and that she wants to express her condolences to the remaining relatives of the 3,000 colonists. Although the destruction of the ship would seem to show that the Empire were always overestimating it's own abilities. February, 16th 2143 Xu Derui announces that further proof for the presence of Federation fighters shortly before the disappearing of the Starcruiser has been found at the last known position of the ship. Enraged, he once again threatens with vengeance. Goreman announces that same day that the Federation will not take these repeated and unfounded threats. February, 17th 2143, 06:40 am The sensors of a German radar station pick up three shadows above the British Channel, which are only visible for a few seconds. February ,17th 2143, 06:58 am It's a rainy morning in London, England, when suddenly a bright white light flashes through the city. Seconds later eight million people are dead. February, 17th 2143, 07:45 am A briefing of the crisis committee in Federation HQ, New York is held. It's decided to modulate the sensors of all radar installations to the frequencies of the German station, which detected the missiles that were sent to London. February, 17th 2143, 08:02 am Two Kerolin Stealth missiles hit Berlin, Germany, and destroy the city. Since the sensors of the Federation satellites were aligned to the navigation frequency of the missiles, they were able to detect the missiles 40 seconds prior to impact. In addition, 27 other missiles approach other major Federation cities. February, 17th 2143, 08:07 am With the SALT-17 treaty of 2104 Federation and Empire had agreed on not producing or using any Kerolin Stealth missiles. The deployment of this treacherous weapon by the Empire will now destroy all crowded areas of the Federation within the next 20 minutes. At 08:07 am, few minutes prior to the total destruction of the Federation, President Eva Goreman gives the command to counter-strike with Cold Fusion long-distance missiles. 85 of these missiles are launched from federated platforms, targeting imperial cities. President Goreman and more than 90% of the Federation's population will not live to see the moment of their impact. February, 17th 2143, 14:00 In the last six hours approximately 23 of 24 billion human lives have been eradicated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neocron History Do you think you WANT to survive chaos? ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
