http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor.../161/4bme9.html Here is a pic of the mock up. Don't know how long it will last but it's up right now.

Actually, from Oxford's own site, they are a source of the evolution of the english language. They only want $300 for the cd-rom. Ouch. Webster's is fine for now.

You forgot one . The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered. The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have 1 neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together in the nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson like particles called morons. Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction with which it comes in contact. According to the discoverers, a tiny amount of Administratium caused one reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it would normally occur in less than 1 second. Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately 3 years. At this time it doesn't actually decay but instead undergoes reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increased after each reorganization. Researchers at other laboratories indicated that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as universities, government agencies, large corporations, and schools. The element can be found in the newest, best-appointed and best-maintained buildings. Scientists point out that Administratium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reactions where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how Administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results are not promising. Keep fighting the spread of this deadly element.

If Derek said (and he did) that everyone will get their chance I only consider this the first set of five. Next!

That's ok Shohashi. I've barged into enough roll call for myself anyway. Pugwash's database is pretty neat. And the maps are cool. Cruis.in, I suppose that would depend on the scenario set up on the server. Insurgents may start at one of their stations and have to cross several regions to get to the enemy. Just supposition on my part. go to C:Program FilesDreamCatcher3000ADBattlecruiser Millennium Golddocsappendiximagesmapsgalaxy_maps_links.jpg for the big one

And the deer makes three.

I've updated the Staff Page. Now we just need Cruis.In and Parias again and we'll be set. Thanks all.

I failed to modify the Balor Staff page as promised. Gotta find the program to modify it. Otherwise check in.

Ummm well Cruisin I hope you're joking. Parias is a member of the fleet. A bit late perhaps but still a member. One of them lurker types we got hanging around. He even has a title. Tonight or tomorrow I will strip the Balor fleet Staff page of everyone who has not responed thus far. Present so far are: Finder1 Pugwash WeeGee Cruisin Parias Not present are: Raven Rampsite Locke Silence Xavier Knight Lotharr

This should have been in the Legacy Forum. Go down to that forum and expand so you can see all threads. In the Music (of all places) thread (most recent I think) Someone said they got it to run. Your mileage may vary. I was wrong. It's not the most recent. Expand to a year and it's like the third or fourth thread. Old BC3K Music.

http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=MX1700-R That's what I ordered. $135 total from computer geeks. I may have screwed up. It's only 1.5 megapixel but had lot's of modes. More so than some other cameras. It also only has a serial cable. I have two ports on my motherboard labeled IOIOIO with like nine pins facing out. Is that them? No imaging software listed either and it doesn't mention the operating system. Hmmmmmmmmmm. perhaps I should have gotten this one . ------------------------------------ General Features: 1/2.7-inch square pixel CCD with RGB filter (2.1 million pixels) 1.92 megapixel image resolution (1600x1200, 1280x960 and 640x480 resolutions) JPEG (.jpg) image format 16MB SmartMedia card (included) 6x optical zoom (plus 2.5x digital zoom in 640x480 mode) equivilent to a 38-228mm range on a 35mm camera 2.6-feet to infinity (normal) 3.9-inch to 31.5-inch (macro) focal ranges ----------------------------------------- A friend just bought one that looks identical to this one though I think it's a different brand. The macro mode is for taking close ups of small objects without looking like you just shoved the camera real close and getting a grainy pic. She took a pic of a daylily (day lillie?) and showed me in the viewscreen. It was a really good pic. You could see the inner parts of the flower really well. Guess I'll see. Hope computer geeks has a good return policy. I may go for the better one.

Unless they are a neutral race to you but a raider. I hate those b@astards. Target something friendly and you'll get "I'm picking up a signal from that target Kara" if close enough.

The Amazing Race is back on!!! I LOVE The Amazing Race. CBS. Different teams race around the world performing various tasks. I would love to be on Amazing Race. Hey, whatever happened to that forum member who was gonna be on Robot Warz? If you don't think you would like it give it a shot anyway. I don't think you would be disappointed.

Whisper, Whisper, Whisper. Hmmm; seems familiar. Yeah I think I remember you. [Pulls oldtimer rank to post in a restricted thread]

If a noob does testing on his own does that make him a noobster?

Cool sig Tyrn. . I want one just like it.

quote:It works fine the way it is, I thought.It does. Drones not being was discussed ages ago. Other than being a minor annoyance it wasn't important at the time. Now, however, IF you change this I'd hate to put my shuttle on top of drone 3 when I ordered it to pick up drone 1; only to find out drone 1 is in Asia and the shuttle will take hours to fly straight there to retrieve it. I could work around it though. Either place all drones in the same spot so a shuttle won't have far to go or put one each on different planets.

The $70 one was at tigerdirect. 1.3 megapixel 2x zoom and 1.8" lcd viewer. HP Photosmart 215. The one I linked to was $150 2 megapixel, 2.5x zoom, 1.5 lcd monitor, movie mode (huh?), usb cable and drivers and mentions XP in the sys requirements. I'm not a big camera buff. I just want something to take pics at parties and whatnot and then email to friends. And of course work with my windows XP. There seems to be a layer missing here. You either get the really cheesy cameras like the ixla (Bought out I found out and no longer supported) or you jump to near professional quality. Standard 35mm cameras go up in quality nearly in a linear line while the digitals is more like a hyperbolic curve. Might as well jump on the consumer treadmill. $150 is my self imposed limit. There are lots right around that price at tigerdirect.

Plus the little b@st@rd won't install to XP I now find out. http://www.qvc.com/asp/frameset.asp?aol_re...ref=ADD&ref=ADD Take a look at the above link. You might be interested. It's somewhat interesting to me. The only other digital camera I thought was cost effective was a $70 HP I found by punching in digital camera into my search engine or I may have seen it www.half.com .

Dumb question from me. Is the PTA system on? Start new game, launch (logout), use "w" to turn weapons systems on, use "p" to turn PTA on.

No; he just got an extra character in the link somehow. Just remove the = at the end. http://business20.com/articles/web/0,1653,49577,00.html Edit in: Fixed in either case.

quote:Spindoktor Disclaimer: I haven't tried this so maybe you can't do it.You can't. quote:Spindoktor again What's stopping you from dropping 4 drones on a planet/moon, going to a starstation and buying 4 more, You can't do that. So long as a drone is assigned to the CC you cannot buy any more. So far as I know the only way a drone becomes unassigned is if it gets destroyed. quote:Spindoktor again waiting for the first set to reach 50% (to space them out a bit), deploying the second set, etc. That should keep you busy and the cash flowing.That is my round robin style or staggering. Except instead of a "set" of drones you simply wait for one drone to fill up to 15 perhaps 20 percent (more if you want of course) and extract it. Get the minerals, get the cash, buy an upgrade perhaps, install the upgrade. Meanwhile; back at the ranch, your other drones are happily gulping down minerals for you. And then as Tyrn said rinse and repeat. I will wish for one thing. If Derek is going to close the "extract drones from no matter where the drones are" loophole I hope he numbers them in the CVD and tacops so we can set up appropriate waypoints.
