At the risk of possibly upsetting someone No offense is taken, Quixen, and I hope I did not offend anyone myself. I was joking. The entire post was rather sarcastic, in fact, to my shame. I apologize for not being clear about that. I'll try to do better. I had just discovered that there are evidently a LOT of people who do believe th

I like the theories that our government blew up the towers using demolition explosives. The planes were just a ruse. And all those English-speaking people who don't know the difference in their to/two/too's, there, they're, their - those ARE the aliens. The different frequencies throw off their speling, you see. (I also suspect people who use the word "frak".)

I think it's wrong to say any particular type or style of ship is better than another. No! You're wrong to say that! (just kidding, slow day today) )

EE or CS Dear Lord! Acronyms! Being a SA in IT maintaining GW, IM, and SAV, you can't IMAGINE how much I hate them! Uh, what do they mean?

While there is nothing inherently wrong with "talking the talk", I do agree that too many do so without "walking the talk"' - a struggle that I fight every single day. Of course, with my past life as a construction worker, I have days where I find it difficult to even "talk the talk" properly, especially when driving through rush hour traffic. [/confession]

And from me as well. Merry Christmas to all! The picture was great! If I had my name back, I could use my "real" face!

Why cheat? Just go back to playing at the lower levels instead. I've been playing with the rush buying of factories lately and it does seem to work better than when rush buying the ships. As Mystikmind points out, you will go broke. I am not adverse to rush buying one or two colony ships, however. But I'm still figuring the game out. I hain't got past normal too well just yet.

You got my curiosity up. So I did some searching, Googling if you will. Powindah means "one who travels on foot" in Pakistani, evidently. Read WWW Link for source.

Just want to point out that the above link states that I do not have clearence to see what the problem is but that someone with admn rights are able to access the proper files. I just saw that exact error myself. I almost took a screenshot of it, but then decided I didn't want to fool with it. It kind of reminds me of the 500 Internal Server Error that o

Don't y'all get flustered at "nasty redneck" talk--I have a pseduo-pedagogical habit of using alternative names for conflicts I won't. Mostly on account of I don't have a clue as to what yer a talkin' 'bout! (talks to son) Ohh! Yer a teacher. That don't bother me none. Why, I looks on 'em as being almost like regular folk. <

Please, kyro, allow this thread to continue. Even with the nasty politics theme it's better than watching Entertainment Tonight or Survivors. I get a great satisfaction watching folks argue facts versus beliefs, as if by thinking it hard enough the red-hot poker won't burn. It's a humble request. And I've asked for so little.

Just turned 53. Like Mumble, I was indestructible as a young man, and I absolutely would NOT have listened to anyone telling me to be careful. Being careful is for old folks who have survived being indestructible. I am now a very careful old man. Well, maybe not THAT careful. After all, after you have stared Death in the eye multiple times a

Can you explain to an old man how to upgrade from one hull type to another? I gave it a try recently and I don't see where that is a possibility. If it can be done, I sure would like to know how. Thanks.

Futurama -- News Futurama -- News Futurama -- News Futurama wins! Actually, I just have it on for background noise while I'm playing GalCiv. I never play game music. Ever. Except in Victoria. Unless the wife is home in which case she is watching HGTV. (snore) Anyway. Call 'em fuel cells, start the mixer and watch 'em flash!

Basically, there are people, and they all have both good and bad days. On my bad days, I try not to post. Chalk it up to experience. On my good days, I keep my posting to a minimum. Chalk it up to hiding my ignorance.

I am certain I would miss an important message and 10,000 people would be without power for hours In my case, it would be ~40,000+ workers of iniquity (govenment) who would be without email. Not necessarily a bad thing, but one I would not hear the end of for a couple of days. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/Gasp.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't feel qualified to cast that first stone. I could so easily go OT on all of this, but I shall refrain. Suffice it to say I agree with a hearty "Amen".
