It'd work better if there was also an aimer on the ship, but as I said you'd probably find things like this more of a distraction than aid.

I've used bots back in the day that were written in Visual Basic (LYNX Bot), however VB I find is more of an introductory language - although it does have its uses bots definitely is not one of them. If you want to write a bot from scratch, then I suggest you look at Explody Thingies bot, as it's very well documented (around 3 lines of comments per line of code) and has been coded to standards unlike MERVBot (where Catid pretty much wrote his own way of doing things, Explody hasn't - this is useful if you want to create other projects in the future). However, protocol and establishing a connection I find quite hard, and if you've not already got socket experience there will be a very sharp learning curve for you to get used to. If you're interested in writing plugins, then MERVBot would be good to check out until Explody finalises ExplBot a little more, however the advantage with ExplBot is that it's in development right now which means that people are more likely to help you develop it, it is also going to probably be the first bot that incorporates Continuum encryption. If however you're just interested in simple subspace related programming, check out ASSS. Python modules are extremely easy to code, and I think next to perhaps Ruby, Python is probably the easiest language I've ever worked with. You'll of course have to spend a while understanding ASSS however in any project that you take up understanding the system you're programming for will probably be the biggest drain of your time. I find that I spend 80% of my time researching and testing, and only 20% coding. I suppose that the coding percentage goes up with experience, but it sounds like you've not got much so just take your time and ultimately if you think you'll enjoy writing a bot in VB most then do that, but don't forget the other possibilities. -L

Lousy mole people? Sounds like my CS class.

Change your IP, log in with a proxy or something. -L

I think that this would actually make your aim worse, as bullets and bombs are often very slow. Only half of aiming is direction, the other half is timing.

Am I the only person to think arguing the usefulness or, uselessness of Google Voice is kinda retarded. It's advantages and disadvantages are pretty damn clear to me... :/ -L

Wow, interesting article... I don't even know what to say.

The majority of Zeitgeist has been ripped apart as out of context quotes and what if situations, although what they claim about the national debt, the control of inflation and the monetary system no longer being redeemable in gold is true... Although it's not half as bad as they claim. By the way, all the information about secret meetings, the forceful crash of banks ... That's all bullshit. Markets crash, it's a simple fact. Even World of Warcraft and Eve Online markets have unpredictable behaviors that cause micro-crashes. Anyway, back onto the Venus project. The simple fact is power corrupts. If you've got a whole system which is controlled by a nonelective body all you get is a stagnation of forward thinking, oppression, censorship and a major lack of freedom. You simply can't control people without imprisoning them, all you can do is let them be free, and try to get them to follow rules to keep the peace as much as possible. That's the aim of democracy, we may not quite have it yet although I believe that with the constant evolution of our law system, with the evolution of technology and the free market we'll soon be a lot happier than we could ever be in any system without money, crime or much anything else at all for that matter. If you want the Venus project, then go to North Korea. -L

Most of the older players don't play anymore, although they may still pop in and idle every so often etc. -L

d1st0rt, brain, kilo, cerium, catid, snrrrub, explody, creatix, pure, dock...

If it could be changed to something that isn't Socialism it wouldn't be what it is, or anything like how they portrayed it. Socialism is fail, it has some good qualities (for example I am a fan of free healthcare and crucial services) but a complete socialist way of life only equates to revolution, dictatorship and oppression. The only good thing about Socialism is that it makes for good jokes... -L

This is Socialism, and Socialism doesn't work.

It could support either amount provided the whole population of the earth starved and died very quickly.

How this translates into my life: Yes and Yes I typically use it when I am out on long distances cycle rides, so someone always knows where I've buckled and where they should go to take pictures to use against me in future situations.

Actually, it's 173.9 Million, if you want to be a faggot nazi about things.

Nearly 174K people are curious as to why MJs children are white... What?

Note: Subspace/Continuum related discussion only. -L

That was a very funny interview, though. I still would question how, or even if it is at all racist he was being. -L

As what Dr Brain said - proxies will never work in Subspace due to bans, however I find that I can have the worst connection ever, even completely disconnect and reconnect my ethernet cable and still stay connected with chatnut due to TCP connection. Perhaps you're requesting a proxy that you control yourself, which I think you'd find only a very small amount of the population would ever use. -L (Sorry, I looked at the image after writing this...)

Why not just bring it back to the way it was? It makes no difference to anybody - if you're not interested in world discussion then don't click on the forum, if you are - then post. Better that than everybody who posted on world discussion leaving (which is what has happened...). -L

Posted 14 August 2009 - 04:20 AM What happened to the world discussion forum??? wow... not even a page ago this was explained.... Why was that done? Perhaps not everybody reads all the posts in a near 20 page thread root, or perhaps you just enjoy being a condescending bastard to people who don't really call for it. -L

Agreed, General Discussion is nothing but pointlessly moderated trash talk and any interesting topics from world discussion are now dead, and no new ones have appeared since the world discussion forums were axed. Boo. -L

You can't chdir outside of your Continuum folder, or outside of the root server folder on asss. It's be a pretty obvious security risk. -L

Insert the Windows CD and enter repair mode, it'll fix the driver error you're getting and you'll be able to boot into Win again - once you've done that do a hard disk health check, and a memory check. -L
