http://home.graffiti.net/gc13/courtorder.html heh check this out, the image is kinda large but its funny as hell.

take us a screenshot Tai, lets see the problem. might be artifacts, or as msnwar suggested might just be low PSU. could be a failed GPU fan tho like i said to ya.

check this one out too.. scroll down and to the left as you can go. See the whole row of buildings taken out but others across from them left intact? http://www.digitalglobe.com/gallery/baghda...il1_2003_dg.jpg and on this one, i can see 15 bombed targets (im talking groups of buildings for some of them) can you spot more? (beats wheres waldo anyway) http://www.digitalglobe.com/gallery/baghda...3_lowres_dg.jpg all the ones i see there are bombed out complex's. i see no civilian areas hit. all look like government offices, baracks, etc.

whats this JADE ?? that a corp? or char?

Of course.. still will be up in retail. The website is being built, and theres an IRC channel too. after release it might not be right away when the Corp is reformed, not everyones going to get their copy at the same time are they. but it should be early on, myself or Clara will make a CEO char and open the offices again. We can all remain in contact via IRC and the website in the meantime. Most of our members will be joining right back up too, we have quite a good thing going here. And we are starting to get known. irc.stratics.com #critical-mass ill post the site info when its done, Claras hosting it. and has no domain etc. So far all she got setup is the forums, and the irc stuff. wont be long i expect.

heh, drew, havent you learned your lessen by now.. you need some bigger guns and skills dude. heh. with the ship you have now.. best thing you can do is keep in the mines, OR learn some electronic warfare stuff and come in to help with jamming and capacitor draining, scouting etc. Those guys where fairly mean.. well, their missiles where. but they didnt have many and we shot them up so much they didnt want to hang around to fire any more of them off. i think they used their lot anyway. they sure do run off a lot... wusses! Nothing like their site makes out. they really felt it when most of the cruisers we have popped in to "donate" them some ammo i have a cool screenie or two, one of about 4 or 5 of the cruisers waiting in a trap outside the station, ill mail it you or something... cant post yet cos of the NDA is still up.

Chief Directors log, star date: sometime when i should be in bed. Critical Mass is now at war. (members 44, Shares 5000, Stock market Ticker: CM) Official war status was reached sometime around 9pm GMT last night. Xtinction pirates must die! shoot on sight! A pretty impressive display of hunting and entrapment tactics where displayed by the Critical Mass military devision, six of our cruisers and frigates in support encircled Xtinction pirates in the Kehrara solar system. Blocking all exits we proceeded to "hunt and flush" Around eight Xstinks pirate vessels where severley damaged in the ensuing skirmishes and chases. Xtinxtion pirate "Sponge" had his ship destroyed by salu, one of our brave Augoror cruiser pilots. Sponge managed to avoid death by escaping in his emergency pod.... only delaying fate. I myself took six missile hits from xtinction pirate "Darkmyst". no damage was taken and pirate was engaged and escaped just in time, flames bursting from his port side. Critical Mass will continue to defend its space from these pirates, and flush them our of our region by sheer numbers, tactics, and organisational skills the pirates lack. Far from "not fearing death" the Xtinction pirates continue to display nothing other than cowardice, running from all confrontations, and only daring attack people of much weaker fare than themselves. when hunted they run to the outer belts and hide on the edge of our space, licking their wounds. No Critical Mass casualties, and only minor damage to some ships shielding to report on our side. /end log. (i would post screenies of the pretty cool skirmishes / battles, but i would be breaking the NDA. maybe in a few days it will be lifted)

i dont play RTCW, and ive never played it online either :/ Battle Field 1942 and EVE online i do play tho yeah, in between studying for my degree (ie as much as pos ) lol yes msnwar, i beter change that hadnt i.. had that same MSN name for ages now, i found snoop not so long after setting it to that.

i didnt want to post that link, but i felt that people NEED to see it. im still at odds with my own conscience over this war, in many ways it was needed, inevitable, even left till late. another part of my own mind says its not worth the cost of human life, resources, polution and world opinion of us.

Cool? How about what it looks like from down the bottom? yeah i agree it does look cool tho. but im pretty miffed at our media, showing a very "sanitised" and slective form of "news reporting" heres what war does to people not buildings, not so pretty close up is it? *warning some images are graphic* Gulf war dead and injured / truamatised shows images of people from all walks of life, Iraqi and british and american victims of governments using their people they are supposed to protect to inflict horror and suffering on other innocent victims of other ruthless Governments. People tend to agree with each other or disagree, Governments tend to kill people or exploit.

Twins kept older brother locked in attic for 40 years Twins who allegedly kept their older brother locked in an attic for 40 years so they could claim his pension have been arrested by Italian police. Pasquale Tavoletti, 90, was found by officers in a dazed and confused state in appalling conditions after they broke into the room following an anonymous tip off. Officers at Spinetoli, near Ascoli Piceno in central Italy, said Mario and Luigi, 78, had been helping themselves to Pasquale's £900 a month war pension since 1963. Police spokesman Francesco de Palo said: ''The room was dark, there were no windows or electricity and the smell from the rotting food was stomach turning. I have seen better kept dog kennels. ''What is amazing is that the family lived in a fantastic house worth £250,000 and tucked away in this attic in disgusting conditions was the elder brother who had seen action in the war.'' Both Mario and Luigi have appeared in court charged with fraud, assault and false imprisonment but because of their age were bailed until their next court appearance.

Some high res, good images of bagdad here, some newer ones have war damage etc in them, others are from before the war. this one is pretty good. the large circular structure on the right is the unkwon soldier memorial, built after the iran / iraq war. If you look just below it at the road you can see the infamous crossed swords arch. "the hands of victory" Theres also an image showing one of saddams palaces after its been bombed out. http://www.digitalglobe.com/gallery/baghdad/

irc.stratics.com has nickserve and chanserv. Doggie.. why does our sig take a week to load even when im on a 1mb cable line?

well we arent Canadians so i can only conclue it was an accident yes sed.

No. Because i wasnt including accidents or people MIA. only the (public) figures that where on the news, BBC website, and CNN that correlated. (at the time of posting first message)

i said this before the war started.. before it was definatly going to happen... and i was proved right. why is it that American forces always bomb the wrong people? this isnt a rant.. dont take it as that, no need to flame. But you have to admit it happens a LOT, usually its such stupid things. Eg: RAf Tornado being shot down by US soldiers operating a Patriot missile launcher... the Iraqis have no planes left for a start. Then theres the electronic identification, which i believe needs overriding to enable you to fire on a vehicle/plane carrying the technology. so far there are 20 British soldiers KIA. 18 by american fire. just TWO killed by Iraqi fire. then theres three ITN news reporters also killed by US fire (though i can understand why that incident happened) dont they have a hard enough job already out there? whats annoying is so far ive not even heard a peep out of bush about it.

i use it a LOT too, never had a problem

check these out, great reading, and some amazing screen shots of the game: http://www.eve-online.com/background/potw/archive.asp

Thats a great letter, and true too. we are at war right now, so a general election cannot be held i dont think in a war situation. However, i do think that if there was one next week that our Government may loose and the Liberal Democrats may actually win it, normally they just suck, but i think they would actually get in if the election was in a week or so. by the time elections come around Labour will have made "changes" and done some small things that mean a lot to the public (eg drop taxes) just to gain ratings, and people have short short memories. i agree with much of this war, however i dont agree with going ahead with it when so many of our citizens dont want it, as its against the whole democratic ethos. The governement are supposed to be the voice of the people, our representatives, both to ourselves and the world. they clearly are not living up to that job, perhaps they will realise that the public have the power to sack them, as WE are in charge of them, and not the other way around as many of the people who run the country seem to think.

like china has a say in human rights/world affairs issues. they are as bad as iraq almost. And want nothing to do with the rest of the world 98% of the time. They have commercial interests in Iraq, they do a lot of electronics and communications work for them. its china who laid down Iraqs military fiber optic networks that the SAS are kindly blowing up for them right now. Bite me china!

Anyone else here seen this US cop/firefighter/ambulance show? its pretty **** good, not sure how long its been shown in the states for but i only just learned of it being on over here... its got me hooked
