  1. SWTOR on Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica · · Score: 1

    Anyone know for sure if the buyout has any bearing on the Bioware mmo that's owned by EA? I'm hoping that got sold as well, because there's a slim chance/hope in hell that Disney would fuck up the game just a little tiny bit less than EA. Just a tad.

    Alternately, I think there's a mass market for Ewok & Gungan pinatas.

    Correction: they probably are perverts, just not of the kiddie-diddling variety. Unless you're one of those that thinks watching 5 years of combined porn turns you into a paedo. Ahem.

    Perhaps there's a Tim the Toolman out there who can recreate a working pod racer, you know, the one with the electrodes Jar Jar stuck his face into, except with a couple million volts at 100+ amps this time...? <EG>

    LOL - this topic should see some interesting commentary. :)

    Wasn't there are full-sized prop used in making any of the SW movies? I thought the one in Empire was fairly complete, as they did a couple walk arounds it. No doubt it was mostly just a styrofoam shell, but that's to be expected.

    Now, a full-sized replica of the Death Star - now THAT would be slightly more interesting & impressive news! >8^D

    I have come across Comodo in the past, but never use it - will take a closer look now, cheers. Especially as I did want an alternative f/w to the Winbloze one. Of course, I should just buy a cheap Cisco on ebay or even run up a small Linux PC & do it 'properly', but I deal with that crap for a living so last thing I want to do when I get home on a puter...*sigh* (I'd also like a software outgoing packet blocker f/w to stop unexpected apps getting out if I don't want them to).

    Whoosh!

    Were you under the impression that I was a nuclear physicist or claimed to be...?

    Opening with a Bush video on the topic should have been the first (and final) clue ;-p.

    In any case, I agreed, if indirectly - no matter what radioactive material you use, it shouldn't be that hard to keep it sub-critical in a decent sized ship, manned or unmanned (yes, probably less chance of human error in an unmanned one!). The greater issue would be radiation leakage or exposure for long flights.
    And testing fission drives on unmanned probes would only be a first step - how long do you think before they stick humans in there ffs? Why even do tests without the intention, seriously?

    Yep, not to take sides in this at all, BUT...'Palestine' is not a nation, country or even a single collection/race of people. Palestinians are a mixed bag of several ethnic groups & have never been a single people or nation, per se.

    Having said that, Israel never existed as a nation or had any recognised borders in the region until 1948, yet lay prior claim to the land - "God gave it to us!".

    So, who is right, the Muslim with 500 years & 20+ generations of people already living there, or the Jew, who was there 2000-5000+ years ago & has withstood everything God, nature and man have thrown against him since the early days...?

    It is refreshing to have a mature comment/conversation about surfing internet porn. Shame I have no mod points right now ;).

    P2P torrent/ed2k porn is pretty safe to if you stick to avis/mpegs or other non-code-executable video files.

    I used AVG2012 as well until the license died, then switched to Avast on my XP box, but left the Win7 box & laptops on MSE/Win7 F/W *shudder*.
    Ok, it's not that bad, but I would really like a decent FREE AV/FW product that doesn't require a whole lotta attention, IYKWIM. AVG was ok until about 2 versions ago when they turned it into corpobloat & I left my old company that I got the licenses from in any case. We use F-Secure here, which I have no idea if it's good, bad or indifferent.

    Is this MSE story just FUD, or is there really a compelling reason to abandon it on inet/download heavy Win PCs...?

    Critical mass of U235 is around 52kg (100lbs), so just keep two halves as far away from each other as possible i.e. opposite ends of the ship.
