Damn and who ever said playing games makes for dumb people.. I learn new things all the time here.. Indeed. I remember that when we were studying mythology in school that through Civilization I already knew what the Colossus of Rhodes was, what the Lighthouse of Alexandria was, etc.

Here's my complaint about the complaint... Although I generally believe that the less said about "My Complaint about Lord Kona - A Forum Post by El Conquest", the better, I do feel obligated to say a few things about "My Complaint about Lord Kona - A Forum Post by El Conquest"'s stuck-up litanies. To get immediately to the point, "My Complaint about Lord Kona - A Forum Post by El Conquest" is reluctant to resolve problems. It always just looks the other way and hopes no one will notic

I was looking for this exact thing yesterday. Thank you much! One suggestion (don't know how easy it would be to implement): Have the simulator run a few battles (say, 10) and display the results of each of them on one page.

It's October 2, in Warroad, MN. 6 miles from the Canadian border. The high today was 78 degrees. The last couple of days, our lows have been the same as the average highs this time of year. Not that I'm complaining... it might snow on Wednesday.

Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota is being realigned. I have at least one friend who says that it's politically motivated and targeted at powerfully democratic senators, and that if Governor Hoven runs for the Senate, the base will magically dissapear so he can appear a hero. I think he's being a bit silly.

For the last week, it's been abnormally cold, complete with bits of snow. Today, enough was coming down fast enough to make the ground white for a while. It's almost May! I want spring!

Well, I'm going to upgrade my laptop a bit. Last... May(?) I put in a second stick of RAM taking it up to 384 MB. The second thing I did hardware wise was last August, when I swaped out the original DVD-ROM for a DVD/CD-RW (Didn't spring for the DVD burner, that's gonna wait until I get around to building a new desktop). Now I'm replacing the original 800 MHz Duron w

Well, I switched to Firefox today. I like it. It seems a bit faster (not that you can tell on the Internet here) and I like the extensions. The thing I like the best is the built in RSS reading abilities. Since I don't have XP, I can't get Blog Navigator. But now I can just use Firefox to see what's new much faster. I also really like the tabbed browsing. I don't know

2. Hydrogen is far more explosive than gasoline. Remember the Hindenburg? Imagine the fiery crashes on the highways if hydrogen cars were abundant. Actually, hydrogen is quite a bit less dangerous than gasoline. If a container of hydrogen breaches and ignites, it basically acts like a blow touch- just o

Reply By: shadesofgreyPosted: Wednesday, November 03, 2004If they're congressmen, then it's either 2 more or 6 more. Definitely not 4.Not true--Senators are re-elected in cycles, with 1/3 of the Senate coming up for relection every 2 years. So, in 4 years, 33 Senators will be up for re-election. <B

OK, I might as well pontificate with my election prediction. This is based on gut instinct and playing with the electoral map at 270towin.com Bush: 236 Kerry: 221 Undecided (Iowa, Wisconson, Michigan, Ohio and Florida) 81 Swing states I'm calling: NV: Bush CO: Bush NM: Bush NH: Bush MN: Kerry PA: Kerry OK, som

Yeah, I'm a frelling Farscape fanatic. So what? For those of you that don't know what's happened in the past, here's a very (very, very, very) compressed (and probably missing some important details) version of our story so far... SPOILER WARNING!!! Astronaut John Chricton is testing his new module, when he gets sucked into a wormhole and deposited..
