[quote who="ToJKa" reply="4" id="2057483"] Well you can use strikecraft as reference point, if you imagine they are as big as modern fighters, you might be able to see something on maximum zoom, but i bet it would be difficult to even recognize it as a human, much less as an alien [/quote] I plan to imagine that I can see such a greusome scene next time I watch a ship blow up.

[quote who="Shadowhal" reply="21" id="2056872"]what I personally find so funny is that they put a nice 'don't mix with alcohol' on their cans, but that's half the use of the stuff here. the other being students and normal people needing to stay up and not resorting to coffee. oh, and people: buy red bull and support my country's economy! [/quote] I knew this chick that used to use RedBull as a chaser, a friend of mine saw her doing that and</stro

I think some of the crew in areas far from the reactor would be pushed outward by the parts of the ship between them and the reactor, then once they are out in the vacuum of space their blood boils as the dissovled gasses come out of solution and their eyes pop out of the skull and gaseous blood spurts out their mouths and noses and ears and their limbs get frozen solid and they shatter on the hull of a near by ship [e digicons]|-)[/e]

I think it said free for personal use on the site, so I'd assume that means if you're a dev (who doesn't run stardock [e digicons];P[/e] ) you have to pay for it

If you destroy a tradeship the owner will lose the income from that ship, they don't lose money directly, just won't make it as fast.

[quote who="CenturionJixra" reply="7" id="2056254"] I've done this in addition to giving Sins a High Priority but I'm never sure if it makes a big difference or not. [/quote] [quote who="DauntlessAnsible" reply="8" id="2056259"]generally thats a bad idea, if you are referring to going into processes, right clicking the sins exe and upping it priority. i've seen that essentially lock machines. i will just wait for Entrenchment.

[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="15" id="2055914"] Just for the record. Im annoyed at teens runing my chance to hear what a real Marza Captain would say while he blasting away everything around him. [/quote] Agreed, and damn ESRB, I appreciate Ironclad broadening their customer base... but... damn ESRB!

Sorry, I meant refrigerated vs frozen in general. And no they don't magically penetrate food, it's just that they don't interact with most molecules, they simply pass through them, and when they contact water they cause the molecules to vibrate faster, when the encounter metal they are reflected or they deflect electons, causing the arcing you may note with most metals.

[quote who="TheWormwood" reply="6" id="2056077"]None of the above. I have a strong dislike for Facebook/Myspace/similar sites, and I don't know what SINS is. I mostly kill time on random boards. [/quote] I'm opperating under the assumption that you're on one of Stardock's other forums, but if you were just being sarcastic, shame on you for not using digicons [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e] SINS, as in Sins of a Solar Empire, it's one of Stardock's games created by IronC

[quote who="jeremyshaw" reply="2" id="2055548"]Well, the upload image button doesn't seem to work for me in my profile panel. [/quote] Uninstall Flash 10 for windows If you don't have windows

One solution you could try, it's a bit of a pain in the ass, but depending on how much stuff you have running in the back-ground it can make a huge difference, change the core affinity for every process to one core, and the affinity for Sins to the other, I've mostly only used this for converting video files, but it helps a shit load

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="5" id="2055659"]Not all of it is audio, some was visual. But no, we can't release it sorry [/quote] Any chance of it 'leaking' out to some obscure foreign server? [quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="3" id="2055650"]You should have seen some of the stuff we wanted to put in and would have if it wasn't for the ESRB. However, they considered that line acceptable for our "Teen" rating. [/quote] LOL, it's so much fun to see how

The way I look at it, this is based on the Vasari improved phasic tranmission tech, what your paying for is the infrastructure to support that many ships. And I guess if you don't need all your government employees running administrative detail to support your fleet, you're still paying for their unemployment anyway. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

I had a ring going around a solar system, about ten planets, so, although my tradelane went though ten plants, the last planet was only two phase jumps from the first, I just left an asteroid with no trade port in between.

[quote who="mickeko" reply="19" id="2055619"]And microwave ovens heat things from the inside out, and cows fly...[/quote] Microwave ovens heat food by bombarding it with microwaves which transfer energy to water molecules, if your food has dried out somewhat (an occurance more likely with leftovers than flashfrozen burritos) then it would dry from the outside in, leaving the highest concentration of water in the center. So yes, microwave ovens can heat things from the inside out

AVG Free, it's designed for corporate customers, then given away free to private users, this makes it the best anti-virus you can get because it's designed by a developer team with a actual budget, and giving it away for free means more users, the more users it has, the more viruses they can catch early on. I've been using AVG for four years and never had a virus, for about three of those I spent 90% of my time online downloading torrent files, I've had AVG flag a dozen of so files for

Longest maybe, but polarstar_111 I think has the best, I'm guessing it's the hundreds of hyperlinks in his responses that are making my browser shit all over itself.

SirBedwyr, why not just create subfolders, the desktop is meant to be purely graphical, but folders are more logistical

[quote who="ToxDrawace" reply="16" id="2054253"] That's odd, because I have XP, and I've cloned my hard drive to an external as a back-up. I was also hoping that i could boot from it using my mom's computer when i came back home, but all it did was start to boot up, get to the XP loading screen, and then restart. [/quote] Did you clone the hard drive while running windows from that hard drive? XP is a bit pickier, might also be because you were trying to boot fro

[quote quoting="post"] Let’s see how well this runs on Windows 7 because it is an amazingly powerful program that integrates deeply into the OS. [/quote] It does look like a really useful program, but that sentence absolutely terrifies me.

[quote quoting="post"] What this means is that when 32GB or better yet 64GB eSATA sticks start coming out I could carry around some sort of virtualized version of my machine and just plug it into someone’s box and get going rather than lugging around a laptop everywhere. [/quote] Linux live, if you can actually find a functing distro for USB it's wicked fun. I tried to make a windows install and put it on a USB flash drive, but got imp

oops

[quote who="ToxDrawace" reply="13" id="2053545"]Potential problem: If you are using this external graphics card only at home, does that mean you need to constantly install different drivers depending on if the external card is currently plugged in or not? In that case, wouldn't it be easier to come up with an OS that has every driver built in so that you could simply carry around an external hard drive and boot from that at any desktop/laptop you come across? [/quote]

you could try trimming the entry to only one pirate raid composition type, your minidump might be related to maxing memory, that might free some up, and let you set the max supply value higher, also using the the forge tools to recompile it into code instead of leaving it in text.

Vista's not so bad if you don't mind customizing it. Personally, when I get a new computer with Vista I immediately remove all propreitary software, and switch to manual all the services I don't absolutely need, or want. End result, I love Vista and have never had any weird issues, even once I switched to 64-bit.
