Any chance of Capship/large cargo ship support being added in future versions of the Privateer mod? When the game first came out I'd been given the mistaken impression it was going to allow me to have a freighter and then buy dozens of fighters for defense kinda like Trade Wars only in Pseudo 3d... it ended up making it up for me in gameplay and plot, but I'd always hoped for a Wing Commander game to come along and allow that (Armada got close, but you couldn't do enough with your Capship:x)
You hafta spray paint your national affiliation across the wings, fuselage, and tail of your plane first:)
The current favorites are: A Dollar Sign. An apple with a bite taken out of it. A flying multicolored window whose color scheme vaguely reminds some of the prior logo before it went monochrome. A fat lazy penguin wearing a flightsuit. And a Bison.

It's WASN'T a MUMMY!:)
Hehehe, no way I'm gonna ruin what it really was:)
Y'know that was exactly why I did say it in elementary school, and in fact I think they'd told us we'd get sent to the principals office if we didn't.
Don't think I seriously started pondering what I'd been saying until I heard it over again in like junior high or high school and realized what a load of propogandized crap I'd been spewing.
Where's this free rest area coffee and how can I get some?:)
That doesn't sound like an American thing, all the coffee here is spit out of vending machines for a buck at the rest stop, I know cuz I had to pick up a cup the other night to keep me up driving home:)
In reply to that BSD fortune: Which had the bigger guns?:)
I think that's more a statement about how things are done in the world: The people with the bigger guns and the balls to use them tell others what to do and how to do it.
Have you considered running a PCI card as your secondary screen? You don't seem to be planning to run two 3d apps simultaneously and at least with nVidia's shit dual card works slick under linux (haven't had a winbox I felt like trying it on in quite a while), multi-resolution, although if you set it up using Xinerama 3d only works on the primary screen, secondary I believe handles Xv extensions just fine however.
Funnier part is I get better framerates on the nvidia GeForceFX 5200 than I do on my AGP Radeon 9100 under linux:)
Anyhow it's just a though, PCI cards are pretty damn nice if you need a secondary screen and 3d performance isn't a priority.
Just FYI it was mentioned by someone in a slashdot article years ago but there was some motor in an audi or a saab or something that was in two different models of car by two different car companies (same engine, diff cars) which had like a 20-50 hp difference that was entirely ECU tuned.
So what you're saying *DOES* happen, even in the automobile world.
Just wait until push comes to shove and none of your so called friends will back you. That's what got me outta MU*ing, and probably what causes me to only play an MMORPG once a year for about a month or two.
It's really just an iBook G4 sans the screen/touchpad/keyboard, be a nice little box to run as a linux server if you dropped in an 80 or 100 gig drive:)

Go search for Golgotha... they tried making a second game and blew all their money without managing to finish it... did however open source the code and data in like '99 or '00 or sometime around then.
Nah, cuz everybody knows god(s) made the world in 1950, and as such it was made to sound like it was a thousand years old, even though it's really just 55:)
Full speed that's about right, try clock limiting it to 1ghz or 600 mhz (whatever the lowest clock rate is). That's how you get the impressive battery time. I can get 3 hours straight up under full utilization with a 14.1" screen and 1.5 ghz P-M underclocked. If you run it full speed it's no better than any other cpu for battery utlization. My now dead iBook G4 was the same, about 2 hours at 800 mhz with a 12.1 screen, and about 3.5 underclocked. (obviously a bit better power usage at lower speed than the P-M).
I can tell ya for a fact in SWG you can get shit easy without wasting money on ebay... between befriending people, teaming for hunting expeditions, etc a lot of people will scratch each other's back, either by giving them old equipment taking up space, or trade it for resources to make extra equipment, all of which you can do within 3 days of game time.
CPUFREQ works fine on 2.6 series kernels, I've got a GQ Branded Centrino laptop running that gets around 2-3 hours of battery time with the screen on, and it's shown about 4:30 on a full battery if I close the lid (for comparison, the iBook I've got (currently DEAD) could get 4 hours clocked to 600 mhz (800mhz g4) with a 12.1" screen, compared to my centrino running 600mhz with a 14.1" screen... full speed the iBook got around 2 to 3, whereas the Centrino will get about an hour and a half at 1.5ghz, with about 15-20 minutes per 200 mhz stepping (600/800/1000/1200/1400/1500).
Still not the amazing battery time I'd like, but it beats my P4 2.6ghz laptop with the 45 minute full charge full speed, and hour and a half idle time:)
Funny thing is, I have a centrino laptop, most of the hardware in it ISN'T intel... no eepro100(rtl8139), some 3rd party brand audio codec, etc, but it's still got centrino emblazoned across the side... Centrino was really just a way for intel to push the IPW2x00 series wireless cards, since they supposed either bought up or bought majority shares in whoever it was who was manufacturing them.

That's different from the normal Call Center *HOW*? For another example read all the phone support stuff from BOFH :)

For the funnier version of this comment play Space Quest 3, and beat the AstroChicken Game in the Monolith Burger Station :)

That really doesn't sound like it, and if so, then you might want to look into if your battery is failing.

Why're you using an IPW 2100 or 2200 on an AMD laptop anyhow? Get a MiniPCI Prism based card instead silly :)
