Oh, that's where you're trying to hide from my wrath, Daiwa. True, it's brilliant... like a diamond ring that gets buried anyway along with the final banking balance. Work hard, show off, slam the brakes, paint the walls, drink up. Whatta life -- Stolen.

That sure brings back memories; Congress center downtown Montreal in July 95 where i simply picked up a demo CD of the first revolution in M$-OS... so we were all told as per their invitation documents. Only problem was that an employer never cared much about some Excel work done for inventory control the summer after. By september 13th 96, i was once again outa job. Call it the fear of change by co-workers and the floppy loops made of ONE insufficient salary

AFAIC, this "flaw" is caused by prefs.ini files which aren't reset between sessions since there is a tag field for relations in the [OpponentSetup] section. Every time such scenario(s) would become active , the previous enviro settings are reloaded with diplo status for all corresponding slots/per Race and if any are re-used (for example, Terrans maintain *0* as their reference tagging) the code assumes prefs options *must or should* override the scenario conditions for that s

You hooked modems, the cloud kept filling with thunder strikes -- the only thing missing is a giga_Tesla capacitor solid enough to "accumulate" such power spikes or divert the unforeseen consequences. The gaping hole has a flaw, though; ISP monitoring & their precious consumers gathering speed or producing counter-measures such as grounded but conductive walls.
