  1. Granted, but they're just the obvious ones. I wish for greater ease in fabricating a lexicon for my conlang.
  2. Any drive requires a reaction mass. This is certain, from the law of conservation of momentum. If you're lucky enough to work in an atmosphere, you can use the atmosphere as your reaction mass, but in a vacuum you must bring it with you. While you can technically make reaction mass out of space, it amounts to making mass, and then transferring momentum to it. This process is very inefficient, and in any case it cannot exceed the efficiency of an ideal photon drive. You can bet quite a lot on a "reactionless drive" being bunk, poorly isolated, or bleeding mass somewhere—and if you're wrong, the resultant restructuring of 95% of our understanding of physics will obviate the money you lost anyway.
  3. Banned for confusing references and referents.
  4. Banned for using a word which is the target of a forum autoreplace.
  5. You don't have an I/O port to get the file out of your mind. Full comprehension of memory allocation.
  6. Do you get to look at it beforehand? Or can you smell the colors of the stickers?
  7. That sounds like a Windows one to me. If I understand correctly, you have […]-l2-1-0.dll, yes? Try creating a junction—or whatever Windows calls symbolic links—which points at the existing file with the name of the missing one.
  8. Is it a Steam-sounding dll or a Windows-sounding one? If it's a Steam one: Uninstall and reinstall Steam. This should get you the new dll. If it's a Windows one: I don't know. You can probably find a copy online, or you might be able to trigger a repair action somehow.
  9. I was under the impression that Just Jim meant on topic chatter.
  10. 3/10 A wretched hive of villiany, by the sounds of it.
  11. I wait for your copyright to lapse to public domain. LibreCookie
  12. Banned for having a five-pointed star in your avatar.
  13. False, thank the kraken. At least on my real computers. My server has four, and my Pi-clone has…488MiB? The user below me uses open-source video drivers.
  14. But doesn't the very act of connecting propogate a new offshoot of the light cone?
  15. I've always been a bit confused as to why wormholes need to be constrained to the extent that they usually are. If the issue is that you might get there before your light/cause does, can't the light come through the hole too? My interpretation is that wormholes change space itself so that the entry and exit points are at the same place, which doesn't sound problematic. At least not in the relativistic sense. The only reason you can appear to move faster than light is because the hole wasn't always there, so the light missed it.
  16. It's a shame I never hear the menu theme for more than the first three notes.
