WTF? I thought that was Michael Jackson. EWWWWWWWWWWWWW! *shudders* Its probably the camera angle.

1) Scoreset period is not set by us. We could decrease the period by setting a game time but not increase it. 2) Isn't this topic totally redundant? Why did you bring it up again maka? [EDIT] Oh, I see you've double posted. How thoughtful. Someone delete the other thread. Opal map, current pub or pre experimentation settings (with the weasel "no recharging while stealthed and massive ship damage" penaulty).

Good summary. Now how to get the rewrite?

1 bomb != a Guerrilla war. Most of the Iraqi population aren't forming an uprising, they're sitting around waiting to see whats going to happen next. They simply lack the Bush administration's funds and experience to fix polls and throw elections (its how they got into power afterall). As far as they are concerned, there is no difference between "terrorist action" and "Guerrilla warfare", they're in the firing line either way. Bush shouts "war on terrorism!" and annexes a few oilfields, secures some tasty construction contracts and watches as McDonalds speads o'er the land. As far as he's concerned, things are going great. Most of Europe (as represented by the UN) is trying to avoid getting their troops killed (bad for votes) by putting the American's in charge of military operations (easy to shovel the blame and makes you look grovelling) while furiously trying to secure building contracts of their own. Probably an arms deal or two as well. As far as they're concerned, they are just trying to find some sort of political advantage in all this and escape with a token effort. Us? From our point of view we're relatively safe. The Iraqi's haven't yet started anything LIKE the IRA terror campaign with nail bombs going off in shopping centres and what not. We have no direct influence on how the war is being handled and we don't have enough facts to crucify those in charge. Come the revolution, we sad -*BAD WORD*-s are going to be playing subspace.

Arguments against those theories: 1) Are you taking something if the person that is deprived hasn't lost any property? The song artists produced a song and at the end of the day they still have their song. They're just unwilling to sell it in a way that makes sense in the modern world. Given the option, people are happy to pay the artists a reasonable amount of money and notice that music sales INCREASED during Napster's lifespan and dropped when it died. What does that suggest? That people pay for music when they find something they like and that p2p can be a great marketting tool just like radio. 2) "The companies who produced these products lose revenue that they need to pay for the costs of creation, distribution, etc. " These same companies would MAKE money if they created things that people are willing to pay for and delivered it in a form that people want. The industry in general is anti-mp3 for any usage and are unwilling to adopt it even though people want their music in that format. Its nothing to do with cost or sound quality (they could deliver Better quality sound with the same storage). The "recognition to the little people" spiel is rubbish! If people cared, the information is on the web, but how many people ACTUALLY read the tiny credits on the cover of their CD's? Whenever you hear a song performed on the radio you don't get them reading out the full credits of each and every !@#$%^&*le do you? There is no reason why coverart can't exist in the digital (note the windows media player support) and there is now a demand for webartists. Here we have a case where copyright is not used to protect intellectual property as it was intended, but instead used by the industry to crush compe!@#$%^&*ion.

Why does everyone want to turn Subspace into an "RPG"? Whats so special about the advent of better settings that causes people to say "now we can have a magic shrapnel +1!" instead of "wow, that'd really help my zone"?

DoCk>> it's shaped like a phallus and i live on a wart on its side No wait, thats in my siggy....

ok, I admit it, your ACTUAL words were "April is my girlfriend!"

Mail it to me and I'll help distribute it via a number of channels. Email is: madhaha at myreal box dot com (bloody spambots).

Makaveli> april is my girl! ------- From the old forum: April: Ok mad, I admit it, I'm really a female camel and I'm madly in love with you!

Zone description when I joined: "Fast paced turf flagging. Sysops: Mikethenose and Direwolf". Wonder what the original was (probably the same with sysops Caress and HOHO).

Hence anti Java moans.

numpf you seem quite intent on proving everyone a newbie! Perhaps you missed my introductary "I am not a programmer"? While you are en!@#$%^&*led to your own opinion you aren't being very constructive. Text is a restrictive medium and its hard to work out exactly what you're implicating, especially if it requires some obscure knowledge. I still firmly believe that we can get some sort of support out of Priitk, even if it means we need to bribe him but at this point in discussion, this is a rather moot point. I'm much more interested in the mechanics that would be involved and the sooner we could begin building a model of how the system would work, the sooner we could bring it into reality. Thankyou for the occasional helpful remark and hope you are a bit more constructive in the future. mad.

Where the -*BAD WORD*- did that come from? Sure he's irrelevant and irreverant (as well as not too bright) but a 5000 day ban from all zones for a forum post? Netbans also have special rules...

Javs make you download porn? What kind of sicko are you?

That info was designed for SVS. The original graphics are in the DLL's although I can't remember which.

As far as the poll goes, P2P is a good thing. For example, a phonecall is peer to peer. One to one communications, neither inherently dangerous or stoppable. Banning the technology? Absurd. P2P FILESHARING OF COPYRIGHT MATERIALS is an entirely seperate issue. Songs and videos have long been copied on tape. This was deemed exceptable. Bootlegging (recording stuff from concerts or at the cinema) has been deemed unstoppable and in the case of live concerts encouraged. The actual theft of music/video/books/software is not what is bothering the industry. No. What they are worried about is the fact that amateurs can reproduce and distribute copyrighted materials much faster than they have ever dreamed of. They cannot monopolise it or tax it. They cannot out compete it, buy it out or persuade the public that their music, despite being digitally identical, should STILL costs 10 times more than it used to on LPs (great scam they've got going). If artists start taking advantage of IT to distribute their music they can cut out the middle man, the record label, and take higher profits WHILE offering a better price without problems with international boundaries or taxation. They are fighting to save the album format and they know they can't do it. Meanwhile, IT companies like Apple have began giving people a legitimate way to buy cheap downloadable music while supporting their bands. The record companies are pe!@#$%^&*ioning against it. Napster/P2P just showed the world it could be done.

He got banned in 17th.

In that case we need to look at alternative systems. Numpf, the first link you gave provides some interesting solutions (the second link was for books on the topic) but they are geared towards the engine writer's point of view on how to provide scripting. I feel that you clearly believe that Priitk would be no help outside of providing bugfixes to Continuum but I disagree. Even if Priitk were not to implement the system himself, I think that discussion now would aid future development if he passes the sourcecode along. Given that the last person to attempt writing a client (Snruuub) got banned for doing so, the only hope we currently have lies with convincing Priitk.

Ah, another year another Sobig variant. "Top experts" discovered that this time the viruses payload is... porn. How melodramatic. http://canada.com/national/story.asp?id=F5...65-DEB7F30F45C3

Wait a minute, are you telling me you can't stop DLL's from calling stuff outside the core?

You're the one tripleposting before you know whats happening. From my personal experience you've always been a pain in the arse and the above conversation is no different from any I had with you. The writer clearly knows about 17th affairs and I'm sure if time was spent to get the machine id of the person who wrote the message it would match yours. You aren't helping your case by being generally obnoxious now. Maybe you have an evil sibling who goes around annoying madhaha and saying bad things to the 17th staff while your back is turned. The iden!@#$%^&*y theft option seems unlikely.

Can Mr. Ekted build it into the Continuum menu so that newbies can view it?

So when is the file going to be uploaded?

I think thats why everyone is panicing. If instead of "plugin" we used the word "scripted language" everyone would assume its secure. Nothing's finalised yet but I suspect that programmers would be happiest with DLL's. Isn't there any way to simply discard illegal calls? I'd be more worried about the buffer overflow scenario.
