Rubiks cube for life!

In future I suggest these things are settled with a FOOD EATING MONKEY BATTLE!

At 11am on 11 November we pause to remember the sacrifice of those men and women who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts and all those who have served during the past 100 years.

At 11am on 11 November 1919' date=' Australians, for the first time, paused and stood in silent tribute to the men and women of the Australian Imperial Force who died on battlefields in the Middle East, Gallipoli and Europe.[/quote']

 

Lest We Forget

I am an American.

I believe that c4evap is an American to, or at least lives there. ;)

Come on guys, it'd be pretty bad if the thread about respect was sent to the mirror universe, or even Rura Penthe.

:)

They also never find a ship that´s upside down' date=' it´s always perfectly alligned with the other ship... Even the borg, that isn´t very efficient, I mean if you´re flying upside down and the other ship normal, why should you flip to align with the other ship...... Especially for the borg who cares if that stupid cube is flying at a 70 degree angle. [/quote']

 

Well, I guess Borg cubes may be turned around 90 degress or 180 or something, but that's kind of pointless. You do have a point, and it would be interesting to see ships manuvering by flipping around and stuff instead of just boring things :p

OH - i don't really understand all the equations and stuff but it sounds interesting - Maybe someday it will be possible.....

 

I would really be worried if you would understand the equations.... :)

 

So the only thing we have to do is create a warp drive.... Allthought this will probably still take awhile it's really fun to know that warp is actually possible..

We're like, 15/16 :p

Dr. Alcubierre's paper on the physics of space warp was published in 1994, well after the physics of the warp drive were set down by Paramount Pictures, and similarities between the two are strictly coincidental in nature

That's wierd...

Heh, I got a bit lost in the maths part too :p

I love how it would work, there's just no way to make/leave one :)

I think this topic is kinda broken... I posted and it hasn't shown up...

Happy Birthday to everyone in November :p

Have fun!

Happy birthday to all of you in November :p

Have fun!

Check it out:

Alcubierre Drive

Seems kinda cool, although it's apparently impossible.

I'd like a copy of the code please :D seems like a great way to keep things organised. I'd also like to tinker with the code a bit, see if I can make it so that seasons aren't on seperate pages. I can send you a copy when I'm done.

Thanks :)

In an extended battle i'd say Voyager, in a short battle (ie. hit and run) the Defiant would be way better.

I go for mrthumps or c4's :D

It's good at when I can just look at the avatar and know the posts' author.

A lot of people sign up for both the forums and the site but don't post on the forums.

heh, old but gold, 9/10 for that one werecow :D

Usually FPSes, though I love a good RPG/Online RPG, and flight simulators are cool to :D

PC for life, so much better than ANYTHING else

I totally have to make that Lambda shuttle from star wars :p

I wouldn't say I get angry so much as frustrated, I hate it when I can't get past a point in a game, or when I'm playing BF and just as I'm about to hop in a plane (gotta love the planes) a player (or a bot, that's worse) steals it from me.

I often get so much adrenilane (i think) pumping through me in games like HL2 that I have to stop after a while because i'm shaking :p

i hated steam software, when HF2 came out i thought great i will order it from amazon as i was somewhere in the world where a pc shop is not a option with no access to the internet with my laptop......it arrives install the game and i was screwed i couldnt play it as i couldnt access steam!!

 

I believe that you can set steam to not have to connect to the net inorder to let you play games ;)

Valve is awesome, I payed $80 AUS (usually $100 AUS per game here) for the HL2 silver package which not only includes HL2 but like, 10 other games that I love as well. Prices are high, but I don't mind paying $100 AUS for a great game, I just read reviews, make sure that i'll like it and that it'll work before I buy it, simple as that.

Piracy is causing price rises. Don't deny it, it's true. Although it's only one of the factors and probably doesn't account for a HUGE price rise. I download a game, that's me not spending $100 AUS on game, that's another $100 AUS the company misses out on, the more people who do this, the less profit the company is going to make, until eventually they'll be making games at a loss. So what then?

If a company needs, hypothetically, $100,000 profit from each game to stay in buisness they need a certain amount of buyers. If thier last game was for sale for $50 and they had 2000 buyers that's enough, if thier latest game was the same price, but they only had 1000 buyers because 1000 people decided to download it, then they only make half thier target profit. So, the next time they release a game thier going to have to double the price to even get close to thier target profit.

It's simple, stealing games means that the prices have to be raised. That's that. A lot of people say "piracy doesn't raise profits, it's greed" sure, that may be it, but I think people are just trying to justify thier actions.

I still download games though. :p

The Vulcan Language Institute - Names

...

 

After Surak died, those that followed his teachings adopted names starting with the letter "S" in memory and honor of Surak, based on his name. That is more or less the official line.

 

...

 

As for Vulcan men with names like Xon, Taurik, Vorik, and Tuvok...

 

It has been suggested that they come from different ethnic or religious backgrounds on Vulcan. This makes a lot of sense and we believe this is the #1 reason for these names. The theory that these men are not followers of Surak's teachings, thus have no "S" name makes no sense, sense Vorik and Tuvok seem to follow his teachings. Tuvok has even gone through the Kolinahr ritual to purge emotions. Of course, related to a different ethnic background is the fact that some Vulcans are not pure Vulcan. Some are part Vulcan and part Romulan, for example, and the father's or mother's culture played a part in naming them.

Nearly every Vulcan woman we've encountered has a name based on the prefix of " T' ", like T'Pau, T'Pring, T'Sai and T'Lar. This is a very ancient custom, going back before the time of Surak. We believe it is a remnant of a long-dead Vulcan language and/or culture.

 

...

 

As for Vulcan women with names like Saavik, Valeris and Sokona....

 

Saavik and Valeris were half Romulan, so that explains their names. Sokona was an outlaw, so perhaps changed her name from the classic form. Of course, women on Vulcan come from other ethnic and religious backgrounds, so that is a factor here.

An interesting website, I've taken a few bits out of that quote. I suggest you sheck out the pages on Vulcan Culture if you're interested in it. Vulcan Language Institute.
