    MY New Super COMPUTER

    The OP wasn't why he was banned. He put a spam link in his sig yesterday (EST) morning, like AD noted. Banned accounts don't show sigs, but they're still stored in the account profile viewed through the admin interface.

    He apparently couldn't wait. He changed his sig to spam a URL, so I changed his account to nonfunctional.

    Well, that was useful. For what, I have no idea. And given that this is a gaming-oriented (more or less) forum, not to mention Origin's other very famous property besides WC, I somehow doubt that's the one most will think of.

    A story flaw? Colonel Christopher Blair - the most inexperienced ace in the universe?

    6th Fleet, in Deneb Sector, was the one that was destroyed while farting around in SO2. However, losing one sector doesn't explain anywhere near all of the change of fortune for the Confederation. And it's "canon", not "cannon", A4L. Smacking you on the head with a gun is using cannon, doing so...

    Ethical Quandry.

    No, the drive behind the taking was that a strip mall would bring in more tax revenue for the city; it had nothing to do with helping the poor other than those poor old politicians wanting to do something with other peoples' money. (If you didn't sense the sarcasm of that last bit, update your...

    Even those of us who never thought Whedon was all that special in the first place? :p

    Heh. Here the glasses were free (probably part of the price premium over 2D), and although a recycling bin was provided next to the theater doors, you weren't required to return them. (I did return them, as I doubt that I'll be making 3D movies a regular thing. Heck, seeing 2D movies at the...

    Ethical Quandry.

    And the property taken from Mrs Kelo (sp?) that was supposed to have been used for the mall now is an undeveloped eyesore, after the company in question basically said "Nah... changed our mind". While it does suck for Mrs. Kelo and for setting a judicial precedent, I can't help but feel a...

    Ok, having just gotten back a bit ago, I can comment in a little more detail. First off, visually it's very pretty, in RealD 3D (or whatever they call it; not Imax like I said above). The scenes that were looking down from heights didn't help my mild acrophobia much, to put it mildly, but even...

    I do intend to see it eventually, but unfortunately AFAIK there are no 3D theaters anywhere near here, and even if the movie is better than sex (with yourself) I'm not going to drive for an hour or two just to see it in 3D. :p [later] Turns out there is an Imax showing nearby, though not of the...

    Privateer Gemini Gold Illuminati...

    No, you're not wrong on the efficiency of tachyon cannons. They do put out more damage per energy unit consumed. Unfortunately, I can't find my manual and the stats for both don't seem to be anywhere on the CIC, so I can't run the exact numbers without more digging around in Google than I care...

    Ethical Quandry.

    Well over. Try more like 12, and that's just counting the civilians that were actively targeted by German policies (as opposed to just being "collateral damage" or those directly involved in the fighting). Not only the Jewish, but homosexuals, the mentally ill, terminally ill people, the Rom...

    Greetings from Nuclear

    Or, y'know, he could have real life stuff to deal with. And, no, postcount is not one of the ways he decides who to talk to or not. Here, we don't judge by post count, nor joined date, nor WC collection size. What do we judge by? Simple, really: Can you act like a reasonably not-stupid...

    Outside the US (or at least in the Commonwealth countries) it's generally referred to as Remembrance Day. Same date, though.

    The Darkening: What does this have to do with Wing Commander?

    P2D used its own engine, unique from any of the games in the WC line.

    The WCM Broadsword

    The USAF is still using theirs. :D The H model of the B-52 went into service in 1961 (the first mass-produced B-52, the B model, going into service in 1955), and with maintenance periods are expected to be in service until 2040, nearly 80 years after production ended (the last -52H left the...
