Reply to The new IE8 vs the current FireFox 3.0.7, who's faster? in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="superman" reply="12" id="2107757"]Google Chrome and Firefox 3.0.7 are the fastest and most secure. I can't compare the two for speeds but at security Google Chrome is much better.[/quote] You really haven't been looking at the speed trials then if you're thinking FF and Chrome are the fastest. Security...that IMHO is something that is defined by the component between the chair and the keyboard. Anywho, things look less secure the more of it is in the market

[quote]part of the delay is because SD uses google analytics on pretty much every page of their forums (thanks for another brilliant move, devs). if you use FF, you can download an add-on called CustomizeGoogle that, among other things, allows you to block google analytics. the site will still stall while trying to send data to and from the GA server, but the add-on will block it and improve load times slightly.[/quote] So then I'm inclined to think that they don't use GA over on impu

I'm surprised they don't just make the fixes all known to us and let us know how to hack in and update their software themselves....just like this current Impulse ad campaign. Who needs to spend money on ads when there is enough internet buz and grass roots going on? Slightly off topic here...due to their forum structuring, I still need to visit forums.galciv2.com to see all things galciv2. Over on impulsedriven.com I got Journals, AARs, DA, TA, Game Talk. WTF, no Bu

Reply to The Impulse Millionth User PC Prize in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

So, if you have a SD product from back in SDC or a brick-n-morter and would make an Impulse acount and register into Impulse those serials, you're also excempt in winning this? At least until you buy something via Impulse. They aren't a new customer and they aren't buying anything...but you are bringing an old customer into the new product that may just now buy something else...the one reason for this prize anouncement prior to it's goal.

If UE came with 2.02 for ToA, then you have the most up to date version right now, thus SS's comment about predicting the future. Whats coming in the next patch? Um, let me think of known bugs that they confirmed will be fixed in the next version: -Passive spies being lost if the race ceases to exist - And possibly some others that I'm not aware of. As for the basic part of your

[quote]No, it is as much as we think. And with less then 1/6th the player population too. Your Kzin propaganda may fool the diluted mass of mindless kzin followers, but we in the ToE know the truth only too well!! There's more to come too. [/quote] You may have 1/6th of the roster, but don't forget that cats sleep 2/3rds of their lives away, so those 480 some kzin members may be 'hibernating'. I'd say that active members vs active members, it's far closer than that.</
