Resisted downloading this yesterday, I mean, who releases on a Monday ;) Thanks Dan, this has at last persuaded me to to forsake dx7 for dx9 :)

1. Hit by a relativistic diamond meteor, a la XKCD What If? number 20, found here 2. More contagious version of Ebola becoming a pandemic. 3. BOSD of the matrix after a numeric overflow in the time keeping logic. 4. Skynet initiates "terminator program" and set hundreds of ancient H-bombs to...

I love Bach, not just Air on a G string, but his organ pieces also, especially the toccatas and fugues, Satie also works well, I usually have a playlist full of classical music written for keyboard instruments, it always feels calmer, no matter what Orbital disaster I seem to find myself in...

:hailprobe: And Happy 55th Birthday to Sputnik also.

Yay! Been a fan of tapatalk for some time, and logged on tonight to request adding tapatalk, I'll just go find my tinfoil had now :-) Sent from my HTC Dream using Tapatalk ( couldn't resist using that, turned off for the future ).

And what gives us, ( the West), the right to decide that the average North Korean citizen is in need of 'Liberation', they have not asked for help in ousting their leadership, and how do we know that those same citizens 'dread every day', yes, to an outsider what we see is a dictatorship that...

Having read through this, it seems to me that some people actually don't understand the one main point of war, people die, always the innocent, ( by innocent I meant that those who die are rarely those who actually order their armies to war), I agree with Siberian Tiger, let North Korea be...

Yeah I knew I was missing some basic, ( google accessible ), information there, which is what left me wondering where I had missed the point, and I applaud your decision to post the pic, very community minded of you ;)

Either this is waaay OT, or you are making the assumption that homosexual men 'hate' women? Or perhaps I'm just misinterpreting the statement, if so I apologise. Uganda is perhaps extreme in their view of homosexuality, however they are not alone, this type of hatred has been levelled at...

There are actually still at least three crimes for which the death penalty is possible in the UK, Piracy on the high seas, High treason, and Blasphemous Libel, as well as a number of statues which although no longer recognised, are, as yet, not repealed. For instance in the town statutes of...

Had a look at their other software titles, and they are also selling OOLITE, and Danger from the deep, making no attempt to hide the title either. Ok so it's obviously questionable, but I'm betting they'd get away with it using section 4 and 6 of the GPL, which allows you to charge 'Any or no...

Sounds a lot like XP Antispyware 2010, which will continually flash up loads of fake virus warnings, drop porn links, and disables a lot of antivirus software, also disables task manager and regedit. Having had this on my wife's laptop I can confirm it is difficult to remove, however this link...

Well they sort of already did.... Even if it did come out before Duke Nukem, errrr, you'd have to see it to get what I mean :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/

When... No matter what 3D model you find for a totally separate project, you just have to whip up a quick and nasty Spacecraft3 to see how it would look in orbit.

If you wish to change the values of a craft which has been designed as an addon, the chances are that it will be a compiled dll based one, which cannot be changed unless you have the source code, however if it has been designed to use spacecraft3.dll then it's a simple matter of changing the...

DSL is good, especially if you want portability, since it'll happily run on a usb flash drive, my secondary laptop is an old 500MHz compaq armada e500, which mananges to run XP and Zenwalk ( Slackware based ), reasonably quickly, in fact with a light window manager like XFCE almost any Linux...

My earliest lasting memory of anything Space related is probably watching the Apollo 11 coverage on TV, closely followed staying off school to follow the unfolding events of the Apollo 13 mission. My eighth year ( june 1969 - june 1970), was probably the biggest influence on my enduring...

Yes, those winters were unusually cold/prolonged, and there seems to be some evidence of a pattern there, and it has been theorised that these cold spells may be linked to sunspot minima. I'm sure those advocating a return to pastoral squalor are feeling very self-satisfied about now, and will...

To put the present winter weather in perspective, it's not abnormally cold, nor extended in duration, it's merely colder than the present average, it's nowhere near the 'little ice-age' of the 16th to 19th centuries, nor is it as cold as 1963, which is pretty much the benchmark for cold winters...

Do I sense a smidgeon of sarcasm there? :P There are delicate ecosystems even in the largest cities, plant life colonises niches wherever an opportunity presents itself, and where there are plants, there are animals and insects to benefit from them, furthermore healthy competition between plant...
