  • Serious days! I can´t get out of college because of "SARS"

    This is all MHO based on a few observations I´ve made. The first headline I saw of SARs was around the start of the Gulf War II. While I wouldn´t put it past my government to orchestrate something like this, I doubt it´s the direct actions of the US Government. To high of a chance of a &quot;carrier&quot; moving over here and starting outbreaks here. Given the aproximate time this was reported, it´s one h*ll of a coincidence if this a natural occurance, though most people believe that. I have a feeling that it is the work of terrorism, perhaps testing it out. Had this happened in the US, it would immediately be called a terrorist attack. The &quot;game&quot; or &quot;test&quot; would be up. However, you start in a country where people most likely won´t think that with a sizable population, you could perform the testing required for a larger scale bio-attack. Also taking into account the amount of business travelers to Asia. Essentially one be a carrier and not even know about it. Terrorism doesn´t necessarily have to hit your &quot;target&quot; nation/government and doesn´t always have to involve bombings, hijackings, etc. The last words of a merchant: &quot;Don´t waste your ammo&quot; <img src=´http://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/wc4dragon.jpg ´>

  • what was the happeist day of your life?

    Well obviously getting laid for the first time ranks at the top for anyone. For me, it was: 1. Birth of my daughter: 21-Feb-03 (it´s my wife´s and my first child) 2. Wedding day: 20-Jul-02 3. Being the first to get the first actual smile from my daughter. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> There are many happy times watching your children grow up. Surely anyone who has kids here will know what I´m talking about. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The last words of a merchant: &quot;Don´t waste your ammo&quot; <img src=´http://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/wc4dragon.jpg ´>

  • What´s the stupidest thing...

    A few years ago, the Florida state lottery was advertising a lotto called, <i>&quot;Mega Money.&quot; </i> Well they had some dumb ass dressed as a lotto ball on stage sing <i>&quot;Mega money&quot; </i> to the tune of a song that I believe is actually <i>&quot;Wooley Bully.&quot; </i> Of course people supposed to be fans were all screaming and freaking out over this clown. Of course then there´s AmWay distributers trying to rope you in. Can´t forget Ms. Cleo or the &quot;get rich quick&quot; scams that used to come on late-night tv. One other commercial I´ve found highly annoying here in the US, is the ITT Technical Institute commercials.

  • Who speaks Klingon ?

    Maybe they´re searching for cast members for the next Trek film. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The crew of the Enterprise finds a band of Klingons that went mad from working b.s. jobs for 20-years... Wait - that´s my life. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The last words of a merchant: &quot;Don´t waste your ammo&quot; <img src=´http://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/wc4dragon.jpg ´> Edited by - ***opelli on 13-05-2003 18:57:25

  • Who speaks Klingon ?

    Here´s some links for anyone wanting to learn Quenya for s**ts and giggles. http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/ http://www.stormpages.com/axana/dictionaries.html http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/wordlists.htm I found those and several others by googling the topic, &quot;learn Elven langauge.&quot; Anyone wanting to learn Klingon could probably find similar results as I´ve seen the links for it. Wonder if they have sites to learn Kilrathi while we´re on the topic. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The last words of a merchant: &quot;Don´t waste your ammo&quot; <img src=´http://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/wc4dragon.jpg ´>

  • How large is the Universe???

    It is difficult grasp much less come near to comprehending. The Milky Way´s huge compared to our size. To the best of my knowledge, most games and even Star Trek was based in the galaxy. But even if it´s 15,000,000,000 in size - that alone will never conquered. I can definitely see the 4th dimension aspect of how to view it. However, this guy insists the Universe, like the Dinosaurs, is only a few thousand years old. I find it hard to believe considering we´re seeing how stars looked 1,000´s of years ago.

  • Anyone seen the Wing Commander movie?

    Wing Commander.... the longest bit of voluntary torture I´ve been through. I loved the games and when I heard the movie was coming out, I couldn´t wait to see it. I figured the live acting from the games was decent and so should the movie. It wasn´t the case however. I was informed that the movie was going to be before the Tiger´s Claw, so it didn´t surprise me to see a young blair. I was surprised to see a kindergardner´s redition of an A-10 Warthog used as the Rapier. I was also suprised to see that it was the only ship. What about the others??? As for the hairless Kilrathi - well they looked more humorous that intimidating. The best part of the movie was the end where they attack a jump point and a Kilrathi cap ship is caught tryint to exit it. The commander, (in a very bad, non-kilrathi voice we all came to love) says something along the lines of, &quot;What? What is this?!?!&quot; If CR´s making a new Wing Commander movie, I hope for the love of all things good that it actually follows the story line.

  • Help with Piracy

    <b> Zem </b> That could be. I haven´t be pirating in Liberty since I got my saber decked out with some sweet weapons. Will be heading back that way with a hold full of <i>cardamine </i> next time I play FL. If only some one could mod this bad boy pictured below. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The last words of a merchant: &quot;Don´t waste your ammo[!&quot; <img src=´http://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/wc4dragon.jpg ´>

  • Being a pirate, anyone try doing it instea od trading?

    Piracy is lots of fun. Over the weekend I hung out in the Liberty, New Tokio, and Rhineland Systems killing merchants. Did have an Eagle and I´m now the proud owner of a Sabre. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Easily earned around $250,000 just from pirating alone with the cargo space of the Eagle. My rep is average with most of the factions save the Molley´s and Nomads. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´http://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/wc4dragon.jpg ´>
