I noticed in going through some old posts in this forum that some folks have had problems getting various versions of Windows to recognize Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro joysticks. I recently put together a set of replacement VxD drivers designed to permit the 3D Pro to be recognized on faster...

The WB8ELK-13 balloon made it up to about 30,600 ft. and then plummeted. I don't know what caused it to come down. WB8ELK said it came down somewhere between Knoxville and Chattanooga TN. The VE3REX-11 balloon got some cool pictures Saturday as it ascended to over 100,000 ft...

Bad weather is apparently all that is required to bring a balloon down. It looks like that is what happened to SNOX V, and if WB8ELK launches today, his balloon may catch up to the storm front that is just now passing through the launch site in Alabama.

Two other groups have indicated that they may also be launching Trans-Atlantic flight attempts today: http://showcase.netins.net/web/wallio/ARHABlaunchannouncements.htm I remember a member of the SNOX team saying that competition was fierce to be the first to cross the Atlantic, and I...

"Hello, The Spirit of Knoxville V (SNOX V) balloon will launch this weekend from Knoxville, TN. Please visit http://spiritofknoxville.com for more information and live flight tracking. This will be the last SNOX flight this season, the trans-atlantic jet stream wind is slowing as warm...

A Trans-Atlantic balloon flight is taking place later today (tomorrow UTC time), and you can participate in forwarding telemetry data if you have the right equipment: http://www.arrl.org/?artid=8076 Check the download page for hardware requirements to participate.

I was able to hear both the HAARP signal and the Moon Bounce signal with a communications receiver and a dipole antenna, so it can be done. There is another opportunity later today/early tomorrow (depending on where you are).

If you have an interest in amateur or shortwave radio or an interest in science and physics in general, you have the opportunity to participate in an experiment this weekend. The goal of the experiment is to bounce High Frequency (HF aka shortwave) signals off of the moon and to have...

I can't recall where I saw it originally, but Winona Ryder is supposed to be Spock's mom: http://www.halflifesource.com/news/2007/11/09/article10030.htm

I had recorded almost the entire series on VHS from reruns, but I had to chuck the whole set when I moved from Alaska. BestBuy has individual seasons on sale for $19.99 this week, so I just bought the whole series. Take advantage of it while you can.

A presentation on the just released The Tomorrow War: Factor K was posted on 31 May 2007 on the Alexander Zorich site: http://www.zorich.ru/games/k_factor/presentation.htm Here's an English translation for those whose Russian is a little rusty: The Tomorrow War: Factor K -...

I would recommend that you get a scanner rather than a transceiver simply for CYA reasons. If you have children or young siblings in close proximity, this will eliminate the possibility that they might "play" with the device and cause interference to legitimate users of the Maritime Service...

Apparently the fluggers are smaller vessels capable of both local spaceflight and atmospheric operations while starships are larger vessels intended for intersystem operations. Remember that one of the hallmarks of The Tomorrow War series is the fact that you can transition from space flight to...

No sooner did 1C and CrioLand release The Tomorrow War, they announced a follow-up on this site ( http://www.games.1c.ru/zavtra_voina/?type=news ): "29 December 2006 - The Tomorrow War: Factor K in Development The firm 1C and the company CrioLand are announcing the development of a...

With all the excitement concerning EA Replay, I don't think anyone has noticed that 1C and Crioland have released The Tomorrow War space simulation described in this news item from April 2006: https://www.wcnews.com/news/2383 Here are English translations of some of the news items on...

There is an amusing picture of J. Allen Brack on the last page of the Game World Navigator article hosted on WC CIC: https://www.wcnews.com/news/update/5209

In his Game World Navigator article (in Russian), Andrej Shchur had this to say: "It's funny that in the territory of Russia this name immediately acquired several alternative versions. What didn't we call those poor cats: Kilrakhi, Kilrafi, Kilrati, and even Kilrachi. In principle, from a...

Helix Software had two products called Netroom3 and Hurricane. Netroom3 was the DOS product, and Hurricane was the product for Windows 3.1 and, later, for Windows 9x. Helix is the company that wrote the memmaker command for MS DOS Version 6 as well, and Netroom3 is an expanded version of that...

Thanks to Gulikoza's work, I managed to get Wing Commander IV DVD to work on my Win98SE system. I thought others might find it helpful to know the exact procedure that worked. Here are the system specs: Windows 98 Second Edition (4.10.2222 A) DirectX 7.0 (4.07.00.0716) Soyo SY-7VCAE...
