Jahled

HA HA HA...btw La-Forge; have some Ninja nonsense! In the kitchen! On the PC! Going to the shops! In the car! At the South Pole Mowing the garden lawn! Or just plain bouncing around and flipping out! If they don't wrok;just give me a PM!

I'll be happy to voice some Thrawn lines if someone directs me as to what they want. Being British, a middle class nerd, and with a hint of private education; i'm confident I can sound like a Grand Admiral. But how do we know the Chiss didn't have heavy Jamaican accents? Emm... Emm... ...emm indeed...

I'm still in the dark ages of Windows 2000 Pro, dude! I don't have broadband and was told it's not a very good idea to have XP unless you do due to the cascade of viruses online... that may be hogwash, I don't know. Flump! One day i'll rejoin the modern world.

Shag all of that. My PC has just generated the errors again. I'm off to jump off the highest bridge in walking distance. Or relieve stress the good-old fashioned way; bed after a few levels of Doom!

I'm glad the link worked for ya, Jahled. Dude, strange thingshave been happening on my Pc this evening after I changed a dial-up number to my interet connection... just after your request for the 'blue bucks' on my behalf! I figure something supernatural happened involving the primordial spirits of the whatever... Woo all the same Tex!

Ok fellow Woo-troopers! PC's do my head in. Period. For months now i've been suffering 'SWChost.exe' error messages whenever I go online; well this afternoon, whilst examining my telephone bill, some wierd sense of nonsense has landed on my lap! Puzzeled why my phone bill was so high, I examined my internet properties, and to my horror discovered the wrong dial-up number to my unmetered account. The guy I have sworn to punch the living daylights out of shall instead be wrestled into oncomming traffic. Head first. I even gave him print-outs of my sign up! This is him! But the truely wierd thing, and alot of you guys will have recieved private emails relating to this subject, is that now i've corrected my dial up connection phone number; my PC is not generating the error messages; which prevented me from clicking on url links or copying and pasting between web pages, and enjoying the web! Thank you for all your suggestions dudes, especially Mask, Evaders, and Stratus; i'll leave you with this piece of absolute nonsense that only PC's can generate; problem gone after I corrected the dial-up phone number. Abandon this thread?

You are not wrong brother! Two million people on a (very wet) evening; simply an incredible response of humanity, for being human... Whether or not it was those sad gits ETA or brain-dead Islamic Fascists; the message in the streets throughout a very wet and cold Spain was the same; NO! This is not civilized society. And this type of unforgivable slaughter shall not and can not be forgiven or justified by any means. In a very gritty way, the simply incredible turn out of the Spanish population onto their streets in unity against this horror is a very rich human quality. The Spannish have suffered a horrible event, but are not baying for blood, aiming at another nation, or religion; simply shouting; 'NO!' Which is above and beyond as so far as human dignity goes. Just to correct a couple of mis-quotes from Bill's book: -It was the first George Bush -Projected cost then was $450,000,000 -It was doubtful whether the astronaught's DNA would survive the radiation they would be exposed to! -By the time you get to Pluto you have another 55,000th of the solor system left.

That's very Woo.. Tex! Very Woo Yay!!! We must be on our guard for goose stepping felines...

Well put Maskiness! What Trej said was as wise as it is true. However, I think I have the solution to humanity's problems. It's called Cake...

A stormhooverer! Even the Deathstar had to have cleaners...

Worry not Alpha dude! Evaders is quite laid back, but just likes to lay the ground rules, I guess. As for the trails of humanity, my memory is one of my chief immediate concerns! Bill Bryson: A short History of Nearly Everything.

Deep in the bricked-up bowels of a tall, but unnamed building in the heart of swinging London, Jahled departs a lift into a basement; and is at once among the secret services's troop of white coats and nerds. 'Ah! Agent Jahled, stop gawping, man!' Muttered an elderly Einstein look-alike, 'I've got something to show you, now pay attention.' Our man raised a curious eyebrow, 'Q, good morning.' This is our new secret weapon, it's top secret and very dangerous; so as usual and going to brief you in 8.6 seconds and expect you to understand everything flawlessly.' 'I see,' Jahled retorted, with an accent soaked since public school and Eaton in some Highland-glen Scotish double malt. 'What does it exactly do?' 'Are, well, that is the top-secret element of the device, Agent Jahled. We don't exactly..err.. know...!' Q handed Jahled a tarten sock. 'It looks like a sock, sir!' Jahled muttered once more straining his left brow. 'How do I operate it?' Jahled examined the strange device, and at once shifted his raised eye-brow from his left eye to his right eye. 'Honestly, double O Jahled!' Retorted Q. 'If wisdom grew on a tree you would be a bush!' That as per always is for you to reveal at some appropriate moment whilst in the clutches of danger. Use your imagination!' Behind him, Agent Jahled observed a can of Fosters explode in a sectioned-off glass chamber. Deja-Vu he thought, and raised his left eye-brow for feline tails. Later, whilst igniting the engine to the rather groovy Atin Martin, he raised his right eye brow and peerede at the strange tarten sock lying on the passenger seat. The mystery had only just begun! Using his hands free mobile phone set, he phoned money-penny. 'Sod the eternal flirting woman, grab your coat; you've pulled! I'll be round at reception in two minutes.' Tires screeched. Jahled was a man on a very human mission. Steely Dan-Reelin' in the years

I am a man of mystery Mask my friend!

On the subject of goiung to Mars, i've just finnished reading a book by Bill Bryson, called the Dictionary of everything, or something along those lines (i'm not at home to be exact) where he points out that when Mr Bush first coined the idea of going to Mars it was hushed up, due to the astronomical cost, and another more pressing problem; namely that ther astronaughts would have no protection from the radiation they would encounter and be dead by the time they get to the red planet. The book also tackles things like the fact by the time you get to Pluto, you've only got to 1/75,000th of the size of our solor system. Space is very big. More of a conern to me is that NASA should be addressing; or readdressing, is the announcement they are not going to continue with the Hubble telescope, which seems sad given it's just taken the oldest and furthest images of the universe to date. As for Humanity, well we sure share society with some seriously messed up heads. The bombs that have just gone off in Madrid... words collapse into meaningless, yet again. One of the ancient religions of Africa held a belief that humanity originally dwelt with the creator (God) in paradise, but were chucked out because the creator grew tired of humanity's constant bickering! Kinda makes sense. I'll be home later to correctly identify Bill's excellent book, btw!

Actually nor have I, but as a theory it stands...

This must be a first as well...

Sadly, it gives me great displeasure to announce I am unable to url link a book on my bookcase to the site, though can only hope such feats of wonder can be achieved with the next 'Windows.' Who knows; and who can say my PC won't be able to wake Trej up in Costa Rica with a cup of tea? Time marches on. Most of us nod as if we're aware of what the hell is going on....

For such a band of long term hacks you guys should collectively rush towards the nearest solid object whilst yelling 'We knew that all along!' Have any of you never had a character assigned to a commander on a system with lots of fighters and been hammered by your opponant; thereby giving your game the sticky choice of waht to do with the character who was in command of all those doomed fighters? Emm...

One thing that has bugged me about our Star Wars mythos as a community at large is our exceptance of stuff in obscure comic pannels. Force.net or what ever it is gives endless amounts of meaningless talk to obscure pannels in the Dark Empire comics as if the artists were some major authority on the SW universe concerning ships etc... the more so meaningless with the debate between what an Eclipse I and an Eclipse II look like! The Dark Empire comics were guilty of red-shifting the Star Wars Universe into the quite simply stupid; though the art was excellent upto Empire's End; the entire story was as reckless as it was careless, and like the original movies, made no sense in the given balance of available firepower. I hope I this post is in the correct place... err..

OK, just in case you wonder; 'The Star Wars Archives' props, costumes,models, and Artwork from Star Wars by Mark Cotta Vaz and Shinji Hata, published by Virgin Books here in the UK... with many of the pictures by McQuirrie...

Cool link & subject La_Forge dude! There is similar stuff in the Star Wars Archive, a book concerned chiefly with the models and what not used in the movies. The Executor for example originally had a very limited presance in TESB but apparently when the producers saw the ten foot or so long model kind of salivated and wrote it into the movie that bit longer...

Someday i'll be in possession of a PC that allows me to click on your cool links, Tex! To the cybercafe tomorrow I guess! BTW: Trej, the 'Action Figure Archive' is a book detailing those little bendy-plastic figures that has helped made GL such a wealthy man, and is undoubtably why he insists on NP having at least twenty costume changes per movie. To me it's more a reminder of my childhood making wierd gunshot noises in my bedroom back in the 70's, but it is crammed with other information, such as the titilating reference to the deleated scene in ROTJ I mentioned... I briefly went through a phase of buying these bendy figures again with the relaunch of the Hasbro line, but became disillusioned when I realized just how much of a con the whole thing is. A lot of the releases couldn't even be described as toys with any playability from a kid's point of view, just stuff to course a stir amongst collectors and in specialized magazines where the price kinda gets made up and up. I guess.
