  1. Congratulations on being the creator of a new

    Evil Plan !

     

    Your objective is simple: Destroy the Earth.

     

    Your motive is a little bit more complex: To show them all

     

    Stage One

    To begin your plan, you must first incapacitate a senator. This will cause the world to whisper among themselves, unsettled by your arrival. Who is this sadistic fiend? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in a corporate suit?

     

     

    Stage Two

    Next, you must vaporize United Nations. This will all be done from a medieval castle, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will scream, as countless hordes of the undead hasten to do your every bidding.

     

     

    Stage Three

    Finally, you must reveal to the world your thermonuclear missiles, bringing about the end of all things. Your name shall become synonymous with fuzzy bunnies, and no man will ever again dare cross you. Everyone will bow before your supreme might, and the world will have no choice but to make you their new god.

     

     

    :fire:  :rocket:  :chain:

  2. I almost never see my desktop except for every 10 days or so now.  I hav way to many programs running at the same time.

     

    I have a backdrop from the Night City supplement a small piece of the color map that was scanned in for someone that sometimes frequents these boards.

     

    I also have my desktop strewn with junky icons here there everywhere.

  3. I would like everyone to give me a plan on what they intend to be trying to accomplish for the next bit and who they want to be working with them.  From there we are either going to be finishing up this chapter and moving on to other events/cleaning up the mess or continueing the story line to another end.  Right now the whole group is acting rather undecisive and if need be I will make you all stand up and be forced to work on something rather than try to accomplish another spur of the moment emergency task! :0

  4. I am very glad that Sadam has been captured and I hope he goes to trial as planned in Iraq by the people of Iraq for the crimes he has commited against his own people.

     

    Let him receive a just punishment of death swift and merciful, that is the kindest I can think he should deserve.

    ========================================

    And to those that feel the continuing hatred for US foreign policy think what could happen if we never helped you and your countrymen out.  What would the world be like with an isolationist nation that fialed to trade with it's neighbors and keep the doors to imigrants unlocked.  Sure some bad things have come from the US but I think many more good things have come from US oversea policy.

  5. I had a hard time following the logic behind the creation of this calendar.  Both the models and the coffins them,selves were rather plain and ordinary.

     

    Now if you wanted to sell something like thjat you should have better coffins with multiple styles other than just wood.  Add in some steel and titanium models they don't cost that much to rent for a short while.  Also the models should really be more into some kind of Gothic type outfits that where revealing with darker more brooding backdrops.

     

    A whole lack of real style and substance is in this calendar and is just a cheap gag gimick!

  6. I want to be the first to wish you happy birthday and good luck on the next year.

     

    I also want to appologize for not getting to editing your story as I would have hoped.

     

    What I did see was it needed to be spell checked more than anything else and a good deal of work on punctuation where a coma was needed.

     

    A good idea is to read it aloud to yourself and if there is a slight pause when you are reading it there is punctuation required.

  7. ahh, umm!  I am sort of on the other end as a temp worker right now that the company is using so that they don't have to keep permanent employees in the accounts payable department.  Though I have a lot more training and education than is really required for what I am doing in this case.  I have even had full time employees come up to me asking me questions on how to do things with the companies system.

     

    Though I have sort of sold out the benefits from it are great, double what I used to make as a wage, free sodas, expensive teas, coffee, exotic creamers and free plastic silverware and plates cups available in the lunchroom.

     

    Maybe they call them scabs because they are always going pick me pick me. :p

  8. Ben realizes now that something odd must have happened for the crew members to wake him up in this stage of the Santa Maria's space flight.  They seem still to be far away from the objective, with a wierd assortment of crew member awake that makes little operational sense to him.  Eventually Ben and the others get the required refueling hoses to the OTV and can start pumping fuel in.

     

    Danielle has gotten the OTV in better shape than it was.  Ben and kea have started the refueling process which should take only a short time and the ice is laying in large chunks semi haphazzardly but somewhat safely off to the sides in the hanger bay.

     

    Mayuki realizes that there is not much she can do for Richard at this time and since his condition seems to be rather stable perhaps they could put him back in the freezer until more time and a little healing can occur!  Also he would consume a lot less of the ships resources.

  9. try making sure the ram is a good named brand and not a generic as some mobo's are very picky about what they will accept.

     

    older mobo have a end spec as to what size hard drive they will run based on the revision of the bios.  Most systems should be able to support 4 ide channel drives but older ones and even some newer mobos the primary channel is faster than the secondary, so attempt to install the new or second hard drive on the same as the first.  This may cause a little misunderstanding if a cd or dvd drive was there before chaning the drive letter to the next letter which might interfere with some program instalations.

     

    check your brand and bios version on a website to find out the max recomended capacities.  For the very techincally inclined and non sqemish you might even :knife: try a bios upgrade.  kinda risky for many people if it's the first time out.

  10. that book was old when i was a psychotic teen trying out stuff from it.

     

    Course they are right that you can find much better sources on more damaging stuff in many other locations.

     

    The one reason to look through it is not to put any of the stuff in there to use but to see what not to do and use it as a springboard to search other sources on certain subjects.

  11. The difference here is that a non Cybered and proficient fighter and such has gather/garnered their skills through time and training while those of the Borg variety are much more likely to have been just enhanced with a type of overwhelming 'power' in a short time shall we say and are as of yet unable to deal with their abilities thus a sort of arrogance arrises in some cases.

     

    An example would be that I have recently taking up rapier fighting and have only been to five session of practice and only twice sparing with opponents.  The second sparing session a young lady came out that had obviously been fighting for some time since she had all her own equipment and weapons.  I seriously trounced her many times with me having a 20+ to 1 kill ratio on her.  Yes for a bit there I was feeling quite a bit overconfident of my skills until I fought a bit with the rapier marshal from the group and got myself stop thrusted time and time again.

  12. Everyone goes about their work for the next 15 minutes or so without much of an interuption.

     

    Mayuki gets Richard to the medical lab hooks him up to the diagnosis computer and lets it perform some tests to try to determine his condition.

     

    Kea, Danielle and Ben are all down in the hanger bay working on the repairs to get the OTV ready for the next launch, unloading the ice from the cargo bay and also trying to refuel the OTV which is proving a little more difficult as the required equipment is not in an easily located area.

  13. Well here goes my christmas wish list.  Ok, some may be highly improb but hey it's a wish list.

     

     

    1.  To locate and secure a lasting relationship with a female counterpart.  or in otherwords live happily ever after.

     

    2.  To continue remaining employed earning at least what my temp job is making me now or more so that I can support my financial desires and needs.

     

    3. World peace and tolerance between all the worlds varying religious and socialogical diverse groups.

     

    hey I warned you it was a wish list!  If you can't wish big why wish at all! :p

  15. I have to side with Hanns on this since what I have found is only a model and this on a website.

    DPV (Desert Patrol vehicle) Open Topped "Rat Patrol Type" HMMWV Armament Carrier

     

    I think people want it to exist and it looks cool but an operationally impossible combination.

  16. I have used it in one form or another since maybe 1994 as a secondary OS on my computer.

     

    Sadly there are a few things still Linux does not yet have equivelant to Microcrud.

     

    1  games

    2 easy install of software that I use to pirate the net like Kazaa.  Otherwise I might go directly to Linux and not come back.

     

    Don't say Limewire cause I don't have the time to figure out the RPM package.
