This "RENT TO OWN" concept pisses me off too, dongles on everything, anymore. I am sooo glad, I decided to stay out of the software end of things here, and stayed in the hardware end,though I still deal with SOME of it. My brother owns the company where I work...he gets the headaches. I, MOSTLY, just have to hear the *****ing...lol

They have a ridiculously high price for use of install shield already!!..and a $1000.00 or so, for their user classes. I will bet, the price will increase 20%-30%, with their first release, from macrovision, finalizing their purchase!!

did you have them full throttle, before starting the game?...try that!

My logitec 3 does that, unless I calibrate it in windows, then turn it all the way up...and then load the game. then it will turn up and down, full throttle.... just something u can try...?

I actually got bored and tried this a couple days ago. 2 hours and 46 restored games later, I finally managed to get my first shot at the station, then I died ... again. Has anyone ever succeeded in taking an enemy station without cloak? YEP !! used a megaron, captured the NEW AMERICA...!! I was a terran POL, and took out captured the Insurgent Space Station)... if you want to know how I did it, I guess I would have to put it in the Tips and Tricks catagory....

You people FORGETTING SOMTHING?? The Associated Press, is where ALL THE INFORMATION in the UNITED STATES press (newspapers, TV, all magazines) is regulated.!! SHEESH!! might as well accuse our whole political and information system of communism, unless of course it is a press release approved by BUSH!! GOD HAVE MERCY!!!!!

belileve what you will shingen....I do a WHOLE lot of reading, and many assumptions, are merely that. There is a LOT of slanted or (YELLOW JOURNALISM) on the web too. WRITE YOUR CONGRESSAN(doesnt matter which party)and ask him point blank 1) did they find WMD 2)is there a connection with ALQUEDA. then get back with me, but not to take this off topic. ASK for verificatiion as to the facts presented from the original post link. YOU may be enlightened...how much you could learn truth, from presented truth. I have over 50 letters from my senator, alone, on my desk at home. I have the CORRECT answers. I ask very direct questions, and get very direct answers. My representative, congressman, and senator are ALL republican. AND THEY ALL have verified WHAT I SAY IS TRUE!!

Most people, who follow a right wing political position, do NOT accept, the reality of consequence which will follow,concerning this situation. They seem to forge their opinions, based on the bias, of a given CURRENT political stance;thus, Forgetting, the eventuality, that roles DO, in fact, reverse in the political arena. Our ENTIRE population, would do well, to throw political polarity away, and take note: This situation in florida, is NOT purely an offense toward DEMOCRATS, imagined by the Democratic party, but an offense to EVERY American, and our ENTIRE electorial process. An OFFENSE, to our perception, that WE are a nation, standing on GREATER freedom, than those dictators which control the outcome of their corrupt political processes. Though aware, and persistant, in my own understanding of that which transpired in Florida; Even I, have had this situation overshadowed by BUSH's more recent atrocities(i.e.the agression of the U.S. on a country who was NO immediate threat to us). This,is something, which is most likely the case with almost every American.(sad, but most likely true) And those who continue to ignore the revelance of this situation, are the same, who continue to ignore the revelance, that there were NO WMD in Iraq, and Ther were NO ties to 9/11, in regard to this administration's rush to WAR in Iraq. The danger, in ANY political group, to condone, support, and to ignore such action(even by their own party) is overwhelming. As there are NO GUARANTEE, their party members will be able to hold such offices indefinately. There is a 100% chance, control will shift, and their own party will suffer for it. If, in fact, the control does NOT shift. We have become, nothing more and nothing less, than a DICTORIAL controlled political system. THIS is the DANGER presented: To REPUBLICAN, and DEMOCRAT alike!! And THIS was a major contribution, for MY personal and radical swing, from a 25 year republican stance, to a very conservative democratic stance, which I firmly maintain this day. GOD help us all..is right...We're certainly going to NEED it!! [ 06-18-2004, 03:11 PM: Message edited by: street ]

yeah, right jag. I suppose, ANY investigation which does NOT find what you BELIEVE,to be true, would be a joke. I have met very few people, in my MANY years of life, who would continue to openly screem, that they were the only one with the truth.... EVEN after the facts bore out the opposite. Most have sense enough to quiet down, and do some reflection, if facts prove them to be WRONG. It takes maturity to ADMIT, when one is wrong. This is something, ole BUSHY BABY, does NOT have!!

quote:LOL, at first i wasnt sure i wanted to read this thread, had me scared the SC had some more fun with a noob who didnt read the manual, appendix or play the tutorial. LOL...he DID!!!...that's them, screeming for help!!!

What matters? Is WE, as a people, STAND on principle, and morality. And that WE, as a people, NEVER again allow a hot headed and immature elected leader...Rush the American people, into any action, which endangers our safety and our internatiional relationships throughout the world....without due contemplation, inverstigation, and level headed decision. And to know how to do that, requires a complete understanding, as to HOW and WHY, we allowed it to happen this time. I am sure, you will see, as time goes on....The lynch MOB mentality which has gripped this nation, will slowly ebb. THIS is why bush keeps screeming there is going to be another terrorist attack...This is why he keeps pumping the public, with his propaganda of fear. You may already have noticed, his AXIS of evil campaign has been recently muted and NOW he keeps talking about what a bad man saddam was, instead of admitting, they made a mistake. Any intelligent person, in the world, knows there are many such bad men, and many dictators which are MUCH worse, and MUCH more of a threat to the whole world, than little ole Saddam could ever have been.

It is ABOUT TIME...!! they come out and SAID it!!. quote: I just want them to drop it. It's too late now, why are they continuing to pester and waste money on this "9/11 Counsel" thing?My opinion, is that it isnt a waste, to confirm, and re-affirm the TRUTH!!, as history NEEDS to record the criminal and deceptiveness of this president!!. The sad part: Is that those who believe that lier BUSH and his administration, and their excuses for their ATTACK on that country, will still deny that which has been PROVEN.

Why delete the thread..start a new one. People will still enjoy reading those you have all ready posted, of this I am quite sure.

Yuck!!..almost, like eating green meat!! And I like both cauliflower and meat. Why change the color. Just dont make a lot of sense to me.

posted by SC: quote:Make sure that your PC date/time is correct. I understand you would want this for tech-support reasons......BUT: Is this CRITICAL, while playing SP game?; Will it affect the game itself?...just a curiosity.

Well, not much different from the NOBEL prize. I believe(not positive)that is is only 1$ million. RIGHT? Still, a significant amount, if invested properly!!

quote:And this thing about hydro power not being legal for homeowners is nonsense as well. A friend of mine lives near a river and has 2 electric motors in the river to make electricity, he has never had any trouble with anyone. No one has turned him in, as of yet. This would be the only reason. It is, in fact against the law, I am sure you would see, if you would check local, county, and state laws. Just because one gets away with breaking the law, does NOT mean it is nonsense, when one speaks concerning that which is regulated by law. quote: I will never have to be hooked up to the grid at all. Again, live out in the boonies, and the proper agency does not know...your fine;however, Live in most counties, and EVERY city, and it is ILLEGAL to live in a house, which is NOT connected to the grid. You do not have to USE their electricity, but you have to be hooked up, in order to legally live in the home. Sure!..there ARE always exceptions, but this is purely relevant to geographical location. Most of these locations, where it is allowed, are to far from civilization, and are not practical to MOST people. My self included. I rather enjoy, being able to go out to eat, once in a while, to say the least.

quote: First of all, 9/11 did not happen because of US involvement in the middle east, There is some serious LACK of information, on your part...sorry. 9/11 was a DIRECT result, due to the ACTIONS of the United States in the Middle East. This is NOT opinion, There are over 20 years worth of FACTS which dictate this!!

LOL.. yeah jag, right!!.., but again..to each their own. The perspective that you preach, has SOME validity; however, so does mine!. I would submit: The REALITY of the whole, lies somewhere,in and between; either of OUR personal philosophies. My whole point is MORE relevant to the unrealistic assumption which is being expressed by your TYPE of philosophy.(i.e. That which is filled with PRIDE and ARROGANCE concerning our TRUE position in the world.) This PARTICULAR perspective, has ALWAYS been: "the beginning of the downfall", of EVERY great power in history. It would be LUDICRUS to assume, WE are an UNSINKABLE ship, regardless of our might, in weapondry. In Addition, as YOU YOURSELF have quoted, and many a great man, in history has said: "History has a way of repeating itself. with THIS one point, I AGREE!! But, to IGNORE, the imorality, of ANY act, by ones own government(when people have a say within it) is self-induced blindness, REGARDLESS of whether one believes the course of action is, in fact, the CORRECT course. Is there NOTHING, we can find common ground, concerning? Then attempt to UNDERSTAND the WHY of our opposed positions??..or must we continue to be at odds, in EVERY thought presented...just for THAT sake alone???
