Reply to Halo vs Star Trek in Everything Else Sins Forums

[quote who="Mooster" reply="19" id="2249760"]I totally disagree, I really dont' think it really could compare, trek ships are much more faster in movement, even weapons are more powerful, along with that, photon torpedos gives a yield of 25 isotons, and then quantum torpedos gives a maximum yield of 50 isotones, according Memory Alpha, the best trek wiki out on the web, one photon torpedo of 25 isoton could level a city, and then if you just double that to around 54 isotons with a gravametric

[quote who="mja5000" reply="3" id="2248230"]Just want to clear something up, a isoton is actually closer to Gigatons, not Megatons. P.S. I don't consider the Nova to be a feasible technology. Come on, 9 8 Megaton bombs (tops) creating a explosion with the same density as a neutron star. Total bull.[/quote] where did you get 9.8 megatons? the most basic nuclear technology demonstrated in the halo series is several times that magnitude. Not only that, but if that bomb was min

hey psychoak, i think you need to relax a bit. where are you getting the idea that everything in halo ship-wise is slow? Did you play the games? in Halo 2 In Amber Clad accelerated faster than ive ever seen a ST ship. mobility always has a place in warfare, weapons as we know them take time to reach a target, the farther away the more time it takes. so you can shoot the legs off a ant on the other end of the solar system IF the ant didnt move at all. oh and

[quote who="Mashakosha" reply="8" id="2169812"] As for ground battles, I'd like to see a Banshee try and take down an AT-AT. And the Rebels would have no problem in taking down a Scarab, as they'd approach it exactly how they approach taking down the aforementioned AT-AT.

[quote who="CobraA1" reply="10" id="2168937"] You say we know nothing about the probability of life. It doesnt matter, the sheer scale of the universe is so large that even if life is an accident it had to have hapened more than once. YOU CANNOT PROVE THIS CLAIM. I'm sick of this "sheer scale" argument. Let's pretend the chances of getting life is 10-50. How much life would you expect in the universe? "Sheer scale" is not an argument. AND it as

actually there are methods of traveling faster than light, they are just outside of our current capabilities. 1st, there is "warp drive" basically its warping space around a veicle to create forward motion. the greater the degree of fold, the more energy you will need but the farther you will go. Ths will most likley be the ultimate form of travel in the far future. 2nd there are wormholes, its still a form of warp drive, but the wormhole will be doing the work instead of the ship. wormholes

Reply to The Discovery of Life outside Earth. (and its causes and effects) in Everything Else Sins Forums

i am under the impression that carbon along with other forms of matter such as silicon and gold, are "base elements". which is partly why life forms are based on carbon as far as we know. but considering the other base elements, would it be so great a leap so say that a creature could not be based on silicon? i am interested to know if any of that was true. anyway, as you said, virtually all stars give off deadly radiation, including our own(it still does btw). But the great part about planet

I like to think about it like this; 1st, we as in humanity, are enough evidence for alien life. in a universe as large as ours, its impossible for an event such as life to only happen once. 2nd, even with numbers as pointed out by praetor(where exactly did you get that number anyway? seems a little exaggerrated to me), there is more than enough room for more than 1 instance of life. for example, a galaxy as large as ours will form many trillions of planets in its lifetime, t

Reply to Regret i bought this game (Demigod) in Everything Else Sins Forums

im tired of hearing people complain about a game being "broken" or "unfinished", especially when there is only 1 or 2 bugs that realy make any difference at all. I dont own the game but ive read the threads about its problems. So far, it amounts to some form off network problem. its akin to complaining to ford when your new truck cant drive on a broken highway, its stupid. now im not saying "your stupid cause u cant wrk a computer", im saying that the game (and company) are not entirely to bl

most newspapers are going out of business because they have to compete with the internet, which provides free news, & because of the current state of the economy. As far as the environment goes, it should be obvious that the world is warming up & something must be done. Im not saying that we are the primary cause of it, but we are contributing.

im wondering something.....ive heard that redistrubution of wealth is socialist. if thats true, then how exactly does one go about doing that without taxes? many of the responses have been quick to say that taxes have little to do with socialism, why? arent taxes a legal way of taking property from a citizen by the government so it can be used for a purpose that said citizen has little to no say in(depending on the gov.)? that sounds pretty socialist to me. as far as being "evil", well that a
