If Linux can't make a dent in M$ hegemony targets why should any or all apps be made alternatively compatible with as many OS'es as browsing or search engines.

His funeral is private & a few extremely lucky fans are gathering today at the Staples center in LA. Please, take our memories of your magic -- bring them all to paradise. As the world simply cannot forget today, help us get over your absence & be gentle as you always were. Yeah, just beat it. The standing ovations we are listening to is a permanent honor to his life, recorded songs, moves on stage, performances on video, and more importantly -- the bir

[quote]Take that as you will.[/quote] Then, plan on some sort of hybrid that should offer RTS (in specific concepts such as Fleet Combats or Invasion Tactics, be it managed by multiple AIs or ... see next) & possibly a duel mode for TWO human opponents only which could be used to rank comparative performances (as in tournaments) on a new MV. GC2 is TBS, granted.

Check this out; i hear the bare bear is near the pier eating a pear or drinking a beer here but if i'd swim towards him i'd also skim the rim while my dream is filled with cream only to scream for being out of steam.

One more reason why i HAD to create alternate thumbnails for components since, in fact... the shipyard itself needed a complete overhaul to optimize at least what i upgrade by decisions based on weapons(example) already on any ships. Auto-design function could also use some "intuitive" concepts inspired by AI algorithms or better yet, script processing; put the best (as in latest) on or forget the rest while suggesting reasonably matche

Nomads, sounds familiar? Round them up, they'll move out or have a timely "vacation" abroad as often as necessary -- maybe they're (again) planning to open certain areas to some sort of completely legal immigration. Trouble is, even the Detroit/Windsor bridge is a loophole worth daily transactions without any address. Call it the sensus of activities rather than numbers.

Staying or passing within range of Military Base(s) with the "ship repair" module will also increase such rate -- combat experience is worth accumulating.
