Boss, see you got one in.

Too bad about the game

#2053 by Diplomat Technician - 4/16/2004 9:36:12 PM

15th place

I read a few members are leaving for the one day party latter this month.

Yup, I will rejoin my old crew the ANZACS for the day. Then I will return to the Undead ranks for some snacks.

Guys... Picked up a new member some time yesterday... And now there are 123.

Woot!

We hold 6th place in the 'verse.

And Tech... is closing in on Jaws for 5th.

Nice going guys.

Sure, Go HABS Go

Played a game on my new P4 today. It went faster
you still have some delays.

#2059 by Diplomat Technician - 4/17/2004 11:41:59 PM

Maybe everybody is playing the new game.

This seemed the most appropriate thread to make a comment about the playoffs...

And so ends the first foray of the Nashville Predators into postseason play. Ack. Durn those Redwings, anyway. Although it was fascinating listening to sports radio down here, with a description of "icing" delivered in a Southern drawl for the benefit of potential fans unversed in the minutae of hockey rules. Very similar to when a few of us at work tried to explain the NFL's instant replay review rules to a few visitors from our German parent company...

Durn those Redwings

Heh, I get dirty looks for saying things like that about the Red Wings here. I guess I live too close to Detroit. I was kinda hoping Dallas would have gotten further.

#2062 by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 4/18/2004 2:57:15 AM

Nashville Predators

Ah, I see you too Ben are in Tennessee. Never noticed that before. That was a sad game. The Preds deserved better. Especially with a goalie as good as Vokoun. Well, I know they will be back next year, and I plan to come up from college to see them play. I am actually going to a college with the only NCAA 1-A hockey team south of the Mason-Dixon line: University of Alabama at Huntsville. Kinda cool.

Quiet here yesterday.

So Tech... How the new computer? Faster you said? You got everything set up now? What are you going to do with the old one?

#2064 by Citizen Kazzryl - 4/18/2004 9:11:34 AM

~~lurks about~~

Good morning, Canadians.

Maybe everybody is playing the new game.

New game? The Political Machine?

#2065 by Citizen Kazzryl - 4/18/2004 9:13:18 AM

Ah, I see you too Ben are in Tennessee

Since we are all so close, we should get together sometime.

#2066 by Citizen Paguma - 4/18/2004 9:43:25 AM

Too bad about the game

That was the first time Ottawa stunk up the joint. You should have hear the call in radio shows in town. People are livid. They had a chance to really hurt Toronto and they came out flat. No killer instinct at all... Pathetic.

#2067 by Citizen Paguma - 4/18/2004 9:46:03 AM

Anybody check out The Politcal Machine? They call it a beta, but more like an Alpha! A very significant chunk of the game is just not there. They still have quite a ways to go based on what they released! That being said, it's kind of goofy fun.

#2068 by Diplomat Technician - 4/18/2004 10:28:23 AM

So Tech... How the new computer? Faster you said? You got everything set up now? What are you going to do with the old one?

It has to be the biggest laptop I ever seen.

Which was expected.
I wanted a desktop replacement not a ultra light.

I big let down for me was when I ordered the laptop I expected the secondary battery could be installed with the orginal battery to give me additional battery life.

Dell's web site is miss leading the Secondary battery is installed in the same slot as the primary battery.

Go lots of work left I bought a new router with a WiFi access point built in. Not sure I got it to work. When I selected the network and entered the hex ID generated WEP password and try to connect nothing seems to happen.

WEP Is use just for piece of mind. I do not need my neighbours using my internet for free access.

The other two things I will have to get used to but should not be a big deal is the Laptop is widescreen and you notice when the fans turn on to cool down the internal electronics.

Still have a check list of applications I want installed.

Office XP Pro,
Borland Java
and the Microsoft .net applications.

I own all of the these programs it will just that awhile for me to dig up the CDs and reinstall.

I may even buy Borland Java X though borland annoys me.
Here is what they do buy something like Borland 9 and 6 months latter they come out with a new application.

I am just a humble Tech and can not afford such a rapid upgrade cycle.

No big hurry.

I also live to install a graphically intense game such a Torn 2.0 just to see how fluid the game runs on the new machine.

The one and only game I installed was AP.
The procedure I inquired about worked great,

Downloaded Stardock Central,
entered my Drengin and Object desktop password,
Downloaded latest GC, Media, and AP

Here is how the game runs.

Startup takes about 3-4 minutes on my old machine, 30 seconds on the new dell. Sava a game over a minute on the old machine, much faster 10-20 seconds on the new machine. Press the turn button get alittle lag on the old machine, the new machine no lag at all. Have 10 turns to the next event press the turn button 10 times almost no delay. You still get a busy occassionly when an event is about to occur but the time waiting is very fast.

I am very happy the way it turned out all of the graphics are distorted because the screen in wider but it is easy to get used to. I should see if the laptop has a window box mode ?

The old laptop I think I will put in storage for now, maybe give it to the family.

#2069 by Diplomat Technician - 4/18/2004 10:30:53 AM

That being said, it's kind of goofy fun.

My big fear is non Americans may not find the game worth the download but it sounds like you think there is something in the game that everybody will enjoy.

#2070 by Diplomat Technician - 4/18/2004 10:33:55 AM

No killer instinct at all... Pathetic.

It all comes down to tonight.

You know if the leafs win I am thinking about letting you of the hook on the bet.

I get the impression that most people truely hate the leafs

#2071 by Diplomat Technician - 4/18/2004 10:35:18 AM

Anybody able to help our lost CSF member with his submittion issues ?

#2072 by Diplomat Technician - 4/18/2004 10:38:04 AM

"icing" delivered in a Southern drawl

Thanks to the Diplomats for the great web news page,

OK Tech when are you going to get your act together and do something that looks have as good for the Canadians ?

How about even a web page update Tech ?

Watched Kill Bill 2 and the Punisher this weekend.

Enjoyed both movies.

Kill Bill 2 should not of existed there is noway that the movie should of been broken in two.
The movie is not a gorefest like the first film. I do not even see why it got an 18A rating.

It seemed short but it was a good end to the film.

Now I am not going to by a Kill Bill Part 1 and Part II DVD if they release one Kill Bill DVD with both parts to me it will be worth buying.

Punisher nothing but negative reviews. I think people expect way too much. Punisher lost his everybody close to him he want and get revenge. Nothing is very orginal about the film but really I can not see what more anybody would expect.

Neither films are that great but I would recommend people watch them.

Now that I finished talking to myself I am out of here for now.
