Nah, nothing expensive melted unless you count half a foot of PVC tubing as valuable. BTW, Annatar, go take an old cotton shirt that doesn't fit you any more. Cut out a three square inch section, and make it into a ball. Take a needle and thread, use it to make the ball stronger by wrapping the thread around the ball, pushing the needle through it every circle, and then change the orbit. There, you have yourself a neat little cotton ball, isn't that nice? Now go to the bathroom, and g

I built a Tesla Coil a few years ago. It melted :( (long story) Note to people: do not use combustible materials when making the base of the coil :P

Remember, Annatar. The space on the internet is precious, why clutter up more with needless posts? Just edit your original post as time goes on and your situations change :p

Reply to Recommend a game like sins but on a larger scale. in PC Gaming Sins Forums

...a few?! You mean you didn't stop at one? You just kept going!? [e digicons]8C[/e] Anyway, IMHO Eve is one of the rare MMOs today that I may even consider paying a monthly fee for. Mind you, I didn't say I will pay a monthly fee for it, I just said I'd consider it. I still think the sandbox of X3: Terran Conflict appeals to me more than the Eve feeling of "I hope noone torpedoes my warship while I sleep"...

Reply to Recommend a game like sins but on a larger scale. in PC Gaming Sins Forums

There was Conquest - Frontier Wars, could be argued to be "larger", and it has some connecting points with Sins. It's a three-race space RTS with solar systems connected by wormholes. It has some nice stuff, I enjoyed it but... It doesn't seem to work on newer computers :( It runs at ~14 FPS, the mouse is laggy and it crashes a lot.

Reply to DRM problem with used copy in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

...this is interesting... So according to you, the game's resale value is less when it can't be updated or played online... Also, according to you, the game was a used box with 50% off... Hmm... I don't know why, but I think there's a correlation in there somewhere.

You don't technically need the coaster, just send support your serial number and your proof of purchase(or a picture of you with the game and the day's issue of the New York Times), and they should resolve whatever it is that's bugging you. BTW, for Impulse you need .Net framework 2.0, do you have that?

Reply to Cleaning Out the Old PC Stuff in Personal Computing Sins Forums

If you want to get rid of it, all you need to do is write down an address. And security systems installed. Night watchman routes, existence of watchdogs, camera coverage, that kind of thing. I promise you a fair cut relative to your involvement and risk.

Ah, MS Flight Simulator... The proof that even Apples are IBM compatible :P BTW, I have 4 gigs of ram in my new machine and... the disturbing thing is, I have more than that in my box-o-ram. I have a 1GB DDR2 stick three 512MB DDR2 sticks, two 256MB DDR1 sticks, eight 128MB sticks of varying generations and, half a dozen 32s and 16s. About 80% of what I listed doesn't work. About 40% of those are obviously disfucntional, being cracked, melted or whatever. OK, I think it's time I go ge

Yeah, tell me about it. I have my old PC components in the closet. And by old I don't mean just previous. I mean... A Cyrix 200 CPU(with MMX!!!)... Today, it's slower than my cell phone... an ancient 3.2 GB hard drive... Damn, that's less than a DVD! I'm talking JUNK! Why can't I get rid of this!?

Reply to Advantage of a quad-core? ^_^; in Technical Sins Forums

I have a story I like to tell people who think there's no advantage to quad-core rigs. Those people usually use computers only for gaming, so they have no idea what a "core" actually does, other than it costs money. So that is why I did this like I did it, and not use a 3D rendering or some video encoding example. So anyway, this friend comes to my place right after I bought a new beast with a Q6600. I was playing Sins at the time. Being one of those playstation-instant-gratif

Reply to DRM problem with used copy in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Sins of a Solar Empire, the game, has no DRM. None. Zero. Zilch. It is patchable up to 1.05, and it works without major bugs. It's sufficiently well-balanced in that version, too. It's also playable over LAN and Hamachi/other LAN emulation networks. However, access to the patches past 1.05 is restricted to people who have accounts with a registered copy. To have an account with a registered copy, you have to buy a new, unused copy of the game, and register it with Impulse.
