Net neutrality needs to be written into law, asap. Greedy corporations are already taking money from every angle they can think of to get it, we really shouldn't allow another angle that in effect would actually limit what content most users would view based on how deep the pockets of the people producing it were. Of course this could also open up new avenues for business for other ISPs to take advantage of. IMO this could actually end up correcting itself eventually... but with compani

[quote]The person I was quoting said that people bring death upon themselves through their evil doings. How did babies and children bring death upon themselves? What excuse will people make up for God having murdered everyone indiscriminately?Thank goodness it's all myth. Otherwise, it would've been a real tragedy had the flood really occurred.I disagree with you, but I don't really want to argue - I've found that I don't enjoy argument on forum I do, however, understand your point.

[quote]Evolution is an hypothesis, Intelligent Design is an hypothesis. Neither one deserves to be taught in a science class. There is no evidence that species change from one to the other over time as evolution tries to explain the diversity of life.Natural selection should be taught. It is verifiable. Living things change over time in response to environment. It's very well documented.Intelligent Design and Evolution are not verifiable because we cannot see into the past to see what reall

O_o This is getting retarded. The "Believers" have no proof, will never have any proof, and are losing more and more loopholes to wiggle their way through back into belief. Of course just plain ignoring information that is right in front of their faces... aka being IGNORANT, something they then like to accuse everyone else of, repeatedly. So the argument is pointless... the evolutionists are at least the closest to being right, and the ID idiots simply refuse progress in any form. Its t

[quote]I've a simple idea about Returning Armada... Let's say we put it on a global timer(one timer for all instances of the ability for any one player), and change it's functionality. Remove the autocast, and have it's recharge timer increased to something like 480 seconds. Depending on the amount of time passed since the last time you triggered the ability and the number of gates under your command, the ability will spawn a different number of ships. Once you build your first gate, you can use

LAWL. That was worth the wait. All ten minutes of it. *kicks his dialup modem* Aw crap *picks the hamster up, dusts him off, puts him back on the dialing wheel* There we go.

[quote]You mean 2mb/s, surely?Would comcast be an American provider then? Cos if it is, I can offer no help.Nope. A player just posted a few days ago that he'd successfully played online with a 28.8 dialup connection. He said it was a bit laggy, but pretty playable.[/quote] Yeppers, you're talking about me :) Bad lag like I said, but you could play w/ a friend vs AI or low-skill player or something no problem. You can play on a comcast connection, but as I said, the latency can often ac

[quote]Actually, Ironhandx, from what I can recall, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, and Confucianism don't have bibles, or if they do they're very very different from the ones in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity.And Hinduism is a fairly major religion, considering there's like a billion people who practice it. Let's also not forget Buddhism, which has a pretty significant number of followers as well. As for the whole brainwashing a populace into attacking another group of peopl

IMO I think everyone should take a page out of chinas book and ban religion altogether. Its all philosophical BS that can never be proven, but will eventually be disproven. I just think we should remove the middle time for it where there are still questions in which "god", "Allah", w/e, can still hide. Yes you can have experiences that are explained in the bible, koran(sp?), w/e, all that kind of crap. Simply because a book happens to have many good examples of the human condition writt

[quote]Wow, how long did that take you?[/quote] It took him about 3 seconds.

[quote]But seriously though, alot of Europeans have probably pirated the game to get their hands on it, and pirates are often on their computer more than others. Mate, I am from Argentina (that's South America if you don't know) and I have had the game shipped here as well as downloaded from Stardock's. And here the piracy rate is around 80% I took around a month, give it or take one week or so, to get sent. Not everyone is a thief.[/quote] God dammit, f***ing canada post. It took 2

Working on a site with forums etc now... just started it tho, will post a link in a few days when I get a framework running. Mostly going to be a strat etc site rather than a fan site per say however. It will be dedicated to sins tho.

[quote]What the hell is it with these forums? One retard stops posting for a few days and we've already got another one clamoring to take his place?I assume you are refering to yourself.I simply implied that I was beginning to notice you in a bad way. Which I am. Even before this most recent series of posts.And what does that implication have to do with my arguement that you should tech to heavy cruisers first so you have the ability to react?[/quote] I've officially concluded that you

Wow, lists. Are you Kruelgor in disguise? What the hell is it with these forums? One retard stops posting for a few days and we've already got another one clamoring to take his place? /sigh...

So two people "ironhand" (which describes the way he masturbates all the time) and "regicide" (who i have already described) do not like me as a person. What does this matter?[/quote] This of course is exactly the best way to prove that we are both wrong about you and convince everyone else of the fact as well. Yes. It is. Indeed. Also, show me where I said I didn't like you as a person? Also I'd like to see where I speci

[quote]Guys, it is important to consider all the factors in an issue before making an [illegitmate] assertion. RA can be easily* defeated in each stage of the game. If you are in incapable of defeating RA, you should be embarassed by your lack of tactical prowess. Describing the obvious methods of crushing an RA rush or its employment is nearly painful. Early game: just attack. At best, the player will only have a few skirmishers and a capital ship. Mid game: see above. Attack the tech labs/ga

[quote]Does RA summon Caps as well?[/quote] Thankfully no.

[quote]ra is only an issue when it hits 1+ hour mark.Vasari will be least effected by fleetsuply penalties due to it.Anyhow, advent can take full RA spawned fleet with only half of the fleet capacity used. Thats because advents capital ships are just beter than anything else.[/quote] Thats not the point, the point is the vasari player gets his fleet replaced for free while any losses the advent player took have to come out of pocket. And 1+ hour mark? a skilled player can get RA up

whoa, I didn't notice this yesterday. Will test as soon as I get time.

[quote]Actually, RA wasn't really weakened much in 1.04. Only the exploit/bug with the negative fleet supply was fixed. The increase in cold down has hardly any practical effect, since the gates need more time to regenerate their antimatter than the cold down lasts.So it is basically as powerful as it was before, which means it is too powerful once it is set up, so I think it should be nerved more. However, I also see your concerns regarding the relative strength of Vasari, especially in shorter
