  1. I'm no fan of Kerry's, but I can't believe that that is a true story.
  2. I put some old settings, and an old map up in "?go oldhs". It's actually a lot of fun. Go try it out.
  3. Joke. Next?

    Ea games

    It was a prank. LOL to those of you who didn't figure it out and overreacted.
  5. #3 or #4, I'm not sure which.

    Map update

    I put a map I had lying around up. It's NOT the new map we have been waiting for. It's just something to keep you people interested while we keep working on the new stuff. Yes, the NEW map will have hypertunnels.

    Suggestions

    Moving to zone dev. 1.) Yes, antiwarp removal will be in the new modules. I can't detect sectors under the current system, and therefor can't remove it when a player has it in the center sector. (Incidently, this is the problem with normal flashbangs too) 2.) I can't answer this at the moment, but I'll bet mook will post before too long. 1.) Having newbies start with more money will change nothing. In fact, it will make the problem worse because they will spend it all on their ship, and then get less that get less cash per kill. 2.) ?
  8. A while being less than a half second? Lol, it is a horse at first glance, and stays a horse no matter how long you look at it.
  9. I'm busy from now till late thursday or friday. I won't be in the zone, wont check my ?messages. Probably wont read any emails (much less respond). And I wont be at my computer to get your IMs, so don't bother sending them. Just covering all my bases It's not too long a time, just posting this in case anyone wondered why I wasn't in the zone at my usual times.
  10. Riiiiiight.... Anyway, grel did an update last night to try and tweak lag comas up to a higher level, let us know how it goes.
  11. Thats kinda cool. I will try fiddling with them to get it into a lvz later this week.
  12. No, continuum doesn't support animated GIFs. You can store them side by side in a GIF, but you could save it in any other format as easily as a GIF then.
  13. Side by side in a png/bmp file. Check out continuum's graphics folder for examples (bm2 can be opened by paint).
  14. Ok.
  15. Lol vile, you got so much info wrong, it's not worth responding to.
  16. Way to much, I'm sure.
  17. A little over a month later, the International Atomic Energy Agency exposed this allegation as a fraud, based on a crudely forged do-*BAD WORD*-ent which had been sold to the Italian intelligence service and then was passed on to the British and the US. The Bush administration nonetheless stood by the charge for another three months. On Sunday, July 6, former amb!@#$%^&*ador Joseph Wilson IV revealed that he had traveled to Niger in February 2002, at the request of the CIA, to investigate the claim, and had found it had no credibility. Among other things, he discovered that Niger’s uranium reserves were controlled by a four-power consortium. Germany, France and Japan, among others, would have been notified of any Iraqi attempted purchase. Sure, that indicates the intel was bad. However...In the preparation of an October 7, 2002 speech in Cincinnati, in which Bush first elaborated to the American public his policy of a war to “disarm Iraq,” Tenet personally intervened with the White House to remove a reference to seeking uranium in Niger from the text. So dubious was the claim that when Secretary of State Powell laid out the US case in his February 5, 2003 speech to the UN Security Council, only a week after the State of the Union speech, he refused to include the Niger allegation, even though he agreed to include several equally specious charges, such as the claims about Iraq’s purchase of aluminum tubes and the suggestion that Iraq had close links to Al Qaeda. Now, let's do some simple math. Jan 28 - Oct 7 = 3 months, 3 weeks since a speech in which the CIA DIRECTOR (ya know, the intel guy) told Bush not to reference the Niger claim. That's enough time for a kindergardener to learn shapes and colors, much less someone who graduated from Yale to figure out that a "badly forged do-*BAD WORD*-ent" with the signature of a guy who hadn't held said position for 10 years before the signed date probably isn't a good idea to use as it would be lying to the american public. There's no need to even venture into the rest of that SOTU speech, of which most of the claims about Iraq were proven to be, class? FALSE. But sure, blame Clinton's Penis for the 540 dead soldiers. He did it. Bush said in his state of the union that it was Brittish Intel that Iraq had attempted to purchace the uranium. The Brittish STILL stand by this intel. If the do-*BAD WORD*-ent was the only thing the Brits were going on, don't you think they would have changed their stance by now? But do you realize that every major country thought he had a WMD program? There was NO question from ANYONE (at the time) as to weather or not he had it. The only question was if it was worth it to disarm him. Now, it turned out that a single do-*BAD WORD*-ent was a bad peice of intel for his nuke program. That doesn't say anything about the other programs everyone (including the French, Russians and Germans) believed he had. Now, lets do a little recap, shall we? #1. If he didn't have them, why the heck would he risk military force to keep "nothing" hidden? #2 He WAS in violation of the Cease Fire that ended the gulf war. The token missiles he destroyed a few weeks before the invasion removes ANY doubt about that. #3 Did anyone believe that if we left him alone, he WOULDN'T aquire WMDs? I'm not blaming Clinton for any of this terrorism. He had oppurtunites to stop it, but that doesn't mean he is responsible for it. Only the terrorists and those who supported them can be held accountable. Look at that number of dead. 540. Do you know how many Iraqi people Saddam killed a week? Do you know how many American people died in the WTC attack? Put things into perspective. I think that 540 dead soldiers liberating a country that was a clear and present danger to the security of the world is a small price to pay.
  18. I personally think that the question isn't weather Saddam had them, but rather where are they now? If he didn't have them, he would have had no reason to not submit to inspectors.
  19. Let me get this straight... You are complaining about a prez who didn't know that the intel was bad (And the Brittish still say it was good). When you want Clinton back, a president who lied under oath?
  20. Send "?arena" to the server.

    Lag coma

    The lag coma seems to be gone. Or at least, its critical point is a lot higher than it was. Many thanks to grelminar for providing the fix that did the trick. If you have a lag coma at any point, please take a screen shot, and post it here, or give it to me in game.

    Wipe

    Yes
  23. Dr Brain

    Wipe

    Seems the ship database went AWOL, and the zone stopped letting people in. I don't know where the data went, but I decided to wipe as we needed one anyway.

    TCPA

    Here you are explody: TCPA: Good in theory, bad in practice (sorta like socialism). Can be EASILY abused to destroy open sourced software, and totally entrench M$. And music piracy has increased album sales, FYI. Thats music piracy, software is a different matter.
  25. Same here. I've had times where all I could see was the application's icon, because I had so many apps open.
