  1. While adding more units seems to be possible, I don't think changing the roles in code is possible yet. Units are coded to have certain functionalities, I don't think we could change that without real source code.
  2. I type way too much. Sometimes I can get in the groove, I'm probably going over 100 WPM... mostly, the limiting factor is thinking what to type. I do make mistakes, but I can do a quick backspace. Also, I never stay with the standard "home" keys like they teach you in typing classes... I hate it that way.

    Books

    Finished a number of books so far... Since you mentioned him, Orson Scott Card's Empire - finally out on paperback.. yes OSC writes other things besides scifi. He has a great column on political issues. Basically the book is a what if there were a civil war in modern America and ends up a sorta action-thriller, blue states VS red states, extremism on both ends. He obviously points out the flaws in the liberal philosophy, but he doesn't believe in a strict conservative viewpoint either. His main point is that political extremism on both sides could end up in a war, where each side truly believes the other is "evil" Orson Scott Card's A War of Gifts - its a short novelle, usually I don't end up buying these (more $ than a softback for less material), but I like to support the author. It was nice to see Ender (as a child) doing his thing. For my Star Wars reading, Legacy of the Force: Fury - which I probably already mentioned somewhere, is more set up for the concluding books than anything else. Allston's character make some cameos, but the Solo-Skywalker clan is much more the focus of Legacy. Republic Commando: True Colors - a different vive than the last two RC books. Feels like it should close the trilogy out, but it doesn't satisfy me. The Golden Compass - yes I watched the movie. And the book is surprisingly similar, little cut out besides the more graphic bits. It doesn't end on the same point, but I expect they are leaving that for the sequel. Despite all the attention it has gotten from the religious groups, I don't see why it is so bad. But then I admit - I don't understand the whole issue with Harry Potter either.
  4. Run Windows? Assuming you have an Intel inside Mac, then you can use Boot Camp and install Windows
  5. The Warlords site is sending out emails. May be yours is being filtered as spam. I've tried Yahoo and GMail and both send within seconds. Latest version is always up, see instructions to download and install http://warlords.swrebellion.com/wp/?p=9 I'm not sure about the graphical settings, but I believe if your video card supports higher options, they should appear within Homeworld 2 options. It is not a setting of Warlords specifically.
  6. ^^ "Don't remote load our images"
  7. Fury leaves quite a teaser for the next book why the Mandalorians are part of the story (or at least one certain Mandalorian...). The book just seems to be set up for the finale though. Allston seems to get shafted here, mostly string out plot elements for resolution later. There is a touch of his humor, but Wedge, Tycho and the rest are just background characters.
  8. I agree. It was a disappointing ending. I also saw The Golden Compass the same night and I found that a much better movie. They tried to explain things (with mostly characters talking), but spruced in enough action to make it feel like things were happening. I hate that it ends on a cliffhanger, but it was meant as a trilogy.
  9. I don't know about Linux versions, but Adobe provides lots for Mac OS It is built on a Unix derivative - BSD. It may be an alternative if you're going the non-Windows approach (unfortunately this means you have to buy a Mac!)
  10. My condolences to his family and friends. CDragon was the first to tell me, I thought it better the community here from Paul's friend rather than me.
  11. Depressing sometimes, even more than NJO. But there is a more mature feeling to these books. It doesn't feel like a kids story.
  12. Really there isn't a traditional "card" for the HQ. It is hard-coded image in the DLLs with some functionality to move around the galaxy and occupy a slot. It has no representation for construction or combat.
  13. I don't know, I don't read Hungarian.. or know anything about current Japanese movies. It seems like a lot of work for that trailer to be just someone's prank.
  14. Latest Catalyst may not keep compatibility. I would advise using the Omega drivers.. they are designed for compatibility with a lot of older cards and even mobile ones. (You shouldn't need the DirectX SDK, it is designed for programming DirectX games - it isn't required to play them)
  15. The Machine Girl - Ninjas, Yakuza, Chainsaws... what's not to like?!? Seriously, take a look at that trailer and then feel free to shake your head
  16. Nope doesn't make any sense at all. The 8800 GT should be able to handle it just fine. Can you play HW2 regular fine? Maybe its a Nvidia driver issue
  17. I dunno... post reply seems perfectly fine here
  18. Google Analytics is a system we use for visitor statistics. Also we use Google Adsense. I'm not sure they site would slow down because of those two, mainly because they are loaded by the client (your browser) and not our server.
  19. Thank Jahled
  20. There are some free versions, but I think the version you want may be a professional paid versions.
  21. From what I've read, the movies will be recut into multiple episodes - thus comprising the new season. I don't know if they will add new content or anything, probably just add some more transitions.
  22. May be able to do that if you set up some virtual machines. There's VMWare and Microsoft's Virtual PC to try that
  23. To get the transparencies to work, the top-left pixel must have the blue color that you want to be transparent. I'm not sure why blue was used, but perhaps it could have been any color.
  24. Very cool. Balance is certainly an issue they're looking at. It will be good to see more players here
  25. I'm kinda waiting for the buggers myself. Or the Lizards... though they may be surprised by our ginger
