I wonder, what is the point of these new 'mid-season finales'. Are the producers/writers going to change the script based upon these types of forum reviews? If so, things may get better. If not, then we are in for much of the same tripe.

Reply to Global warming hoax!?! - UPDATED - in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

This is the kind of statement meant to scare people: "Rising temperatures over decades have prompted scientific concern, and the last decade has been the hottest in thousands of years, according to climate records." http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9CCLC8O0&show_article=1 Are there really climate records dating back thousands of years?

So, there was a cooling trend for ~25-30 years, then a warming trend for the next 25-30 years, and now a cooling trend again. Yup, certainly cause for panic.

[quote]Do you have a link to a table with the global tempratures for the last hundred years or so? [/quote] There are many, and they don't all show the same thing. I think that is the main point of this thread - that some of the data has been tampered with by some of the 'scientists' to show that global temps have steadily risen, when in fact they have actually gone down in the past decade. I live in San Diego, and this year has been very

Reply to Global warming hoax!?! - UPDATED - in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Yup, everything is based on computer models. And the computer models show that we should be getting hotter and hotter, since we are spewing out more and more CO2 every year. Yet, the temps have gone down for the past decade. Gee, maybe the sun has more to do with global temps than CO2, since we have been in the deepest solar minimum in a century? But the same 'scientists' that claim we are responsible for the past recent warming discount solar activity altogether - eve

If anyone else does, read through the forums before you play. There is a lot of good info there on how the physics work. As said, it is 'real Newtonian physics', which means you don't fly the spacecraft like an aircraft. It works exactly the same way as in the Bab5 show.

No, there is no provision in the game to break an alliance with a minor. You could always try to bribe another race into attacking them.

Reply to "Fringe" and "Flash Forward" in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

Yes, I am American. Does that make a difference? I guess it does to you. Personally, I don't want my daughter to think that a totally unproductive lifestyle is something to be strived for - nor even considered. Violence, murders, betrayals and such... these are things that are very blatant in their wrongness. But in this 'feel-good' society that we live in now, same-sex pleasure is a much more subtle evil.

I don't watch Fringe, but I like FlashForward (for the most part). I agree that it can be slow at times, and I censored one episode from my 13 year old daughter because of the lesbian content. I wonder why these new shows, like FF and SGU, seem to find it really necessary to include that crap. SGU will never be a show that I can watch with my daughter, simply because of all the random sex between whomev

Reply to Canon MP560 printer in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

It's funny. My printer is out of ink, and it will take around $90 to replace all the cartridges. For the same cost I can buy a totally new printer, with at least one feature mine lacks (WiFi). I wonder how eco-friendly these printer manufactures are, when they charge more for 7 ink cartridges than for a new printer (including the exact same ink cartridges). I think Congress should be trying for a Computer Printer Reform bill.
