    How do you get Wing Commander IV to work with XP

    It should work with the Win95 patch, even without compatibility mode. I do this and it works. For the DOS version you'll at least have to switch to full screen yourself before starting the game (or else VESA won't work) but even then you won't get sound, because no program in XP has access to...

    Attention handphone users!!!

    I once composed the WC2 Kilrathi theme on my Ericsson. I'll see if I still have it when I get home.

    In the first episode of Enterprise, Hoshi actually says "Maybe we should recommend seatbelts when we get back". So the writers *are* aware of the irony. :D

    WC too glossy like Star Trek?

    Hey! The way they treat death in the Wing Commander movie is great! I sure love that! ... Does one person constitute a fringe group? :D

    How big....

    Wow, Frosty and I agree on something. I never thought I'd live to see the day... :D The only thing we really know for sure is that CO, CO2 and NO are toxic (in varying degrees) to us, and water vapour is not.

    The real effects of a thermonuclear weapon

    I saw a very interesting documentary on Discovery on designing the H-bomb once. Apparently it produces much more radiation than a fission bomb of the same yield (and spreads it's effects even further). That's also a common misconception about fusion reactors. They do in fact produce radiation...

    How big....

    So we should all just stop using any type of engine at all, until we can find one that produces no harmful emissions at all? (And is practical, because in all fairness we already have that type of engine, namely solar power). Welcome back to the stone age. This just isn't realistic. If we can...

    *drool* :D Edit: it's nVidia, not NiVidia.

    How big....

    Water vapour can however be relatively efficiently stored inside the car, just cool it down. And when you refuel fresh new hydrogen you can empty your water deposit, or use it as engine coolant or whatever. Complete combustion still yields carbon dioxide, that's not much better either. When...

    What ever happened to . . .

    But the way I read it he's not talking about fanfic, but about the official game books. Fanfic is defenitely not canon, I'll agree to that.

    What ever happened to . . .

    Like Madman himself, I don't see why not. Madman simply said that the novels are canon, which they are. So why's that misuse of the word canon?

    How big....

    They are not. Star Trek writers just took NC of airplanes and added an extra C to make it look cool. Nobody knows what it stands for. There is not explanation, at least not a canon one. If the Concordia III is that long but only 5 metres high, how the hell do you prevent it from breaking...

    what is the difference

    Why do you think the in-game graphics would look better if it's a DVD?

    Favorite tactics

    Just aim your nose so you'd fly past the Corvette at a few 100 km, press afterburner briefly and as you hit top speed, toggle autoslide. Turn your nose to the corvette and *fire*. The corvette won't so much as scrape you then. Trick is not to fly too close to it since it'll still hit you...

    Fram!

    I think we may need a cortical replacement. I don't think just stimulating his current one is going to do the trick. :p

    And even if they do, there's still such a thing as backspace and delete. And even if these don't work, they could still use Caps Lock to get lower caps with the shift key stuck. Moral of the story: THERE IS NO REASON TO POST IN ALL CAPS. :D

    "Secret" Mission in WC 3

    I flew the losing mission with the dreadnought. Never found out if I could destroy it, because every time it showed up I got a read error on the CD. :(

    Is there a multiplayer option for WCP?

    The reason the thread got OT was that there's not much more to say about the original topic than "no" and maybe "Armada has multiplayer"! Okay, I'll shut up now...
