That one thing that's always been there. You wish it would go away. You would like to forget. It might just survive the apocalypse.

Highly Controversial Are GMOs good or bad?
Roadkill replied to PA Engineering's topic in Science & Spaceflight
In response to that I'd like to say, Bedlamise obstreperously flirtingly pedometer phc preaffect culturally trustbuster. Memorializer knownothingism tinniest regeneracy internalized eurytion peeved seersucker. Uneviscerated collectivistically garnisher dimerous cytolysis nongeographic reiving lightening. As far as GMO's are concerned, they are neither good or bad, just like guns. It's the user that determines that. -
I've seen more than one reference to NASA's budget in this thread. Google search show NASA's budget to be 18.4 billion. Is this figure accurate? And would you consider 18.4 billion to be "pathetically small"? The gross domestic product of 30+ African Nations are less than 18.4 billion. Do you think that they think that 18.4 billion is pathetically small?

Cosmonauts: How Russia Won the Space Race
Roadkill replied to CaptainKipard's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Neither the USA nor the USSR won the "space race". The Germans did. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_(rocket_family)#A4_.28V-2_rocket.29 -
We *Need* to stop climate change
Roadkill replied to TheCanadianVendingMachine's topic in The Lounge
I don't yet believe that Earth is "past the point of no return". I wrote and rewrote this post twice already. I keep sidetracking into a long rant about my own observations as a truck driver. To try and sumarize it all up, I simply don't see any of the dire predictions that have been made over the last 30 years coming true. Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter all still came in the same order this year, just like they have for the 44 years I've been alive. I refuse to let fear rule my judgement. The internet says I should be afraid. The mass media says I should be afraid. The Weather Channel says I should be afraid. My eyes tell me different though. I still see most folks going about their daily lives just as they have my whole life. And I guess the one thing that sticks in my craw, I don't believe we need to stop climate change. I like climate change. I like the fact that some days are hot, some are cold, some are dry, and some are wet. I don't want it to be the same all the time. That, IMHO, is the definition of hell. No variety, no spice, no change. NO THANKS! -
We *Need* to stop climate change
Roadkill replied to TheCanadianVendingMachine's topic in The Lounge
So the reference you give there is about a troll and a even larger billy goat. I think I get it. You are calling me a troll. Very solid counter argument to almost any point of view that you disagree with. Start calling people names. My post did not call anyone a name. It was designed to point out the futility of any attempts by any one particular group at changing global climate patterns. Not because it can't be done, but because I believe it is impossible to get everyone to agree on what to do and why. There will always be disagreements on what is necessary and why. That is why threads like this should be closed as soon as they are started, unless you want to change forum rules and allow political arguements, and all viewpoints that go along with them, without censorship. Unless of course this is actually just one big hugbox with political agendas of it's own. In that case, feel free to report me as a troll and continue on with a pointless discussion. -
We *Need* to stop climate change
Roadkill replied to TheCanadianVendingMachine's topic in The Lounge
I don't get the bridge reference. Please elaborate as I'm sure it's funny. Obviously my post is way over the top, we don't need to kill all the animals. But for anyone to suggest that we can control the Earth's climate through legislation is equally over the top. There are what, 6 or 7 billion people on the planet, maybe more? It's been a while since I checked. And how many political groups within that population? All with their own goals. All with different things that make them happy. I disagree with Slashy. There are things we, the humans, can do to make the world a better place. We won't do it though. Just way to many groups that all think their way is the best. The Earth will make adjustments, I am sure of that. Some people may survive these adjustments, I hope they do. A lot of people probably won't. The best I think we can hope for. is that our descendants learn from history. That they stop trying to rewrite it according to whatever fad is popular at the moment. That humans learn to live with the planet, not just on it. -
We *Need* to stop climate change
Roadkill replied to TheCanadianVendingMachine's topic in The Lounge
Yeah! Another "climate change" thread. I love these! I think that everyone should stop using coal and gasoline and diesel and natural gas and fireplaces and wood and kill all the animals that breathe in air and then breathe out co2 and that means also kill all unneeded humans and plug up all the volcanoes with concrete and we should be fine. -
Should SQUAD post all KSP announcements on the official forum?
Roadkill replied to Yakuzi's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Whether or not a person's interests influences his intelligence is not the topic here i don't think. Squad's freedom to post whatever and wherever they want is. -
Should SQUAD post all KSP announcements on the official forum?
Roadkill replied to Yakuzi's topic in KSP1 Discussion
A fool and his money are easily parted. Squad should be free to post whatever announcement they want, wherever they think it makes the most money. -
Upload the craft file and I'll try to reproduce and debug on my end, if you haven't already figured it out.

Low frame rates with new hardware
Roadkill replied to endl's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
endl, it's true that your cpu may be a little out of date, but I believe it should be doing better than what you are describing. Maybe there is something else slowing you down? What other processes do you have running? Anit-virus? Unknown crap? I think it's likely that you may benefit from a tune-up. Screenshots of your task manager showing running processes from all users would be a good place to start. I think it would probably be worth it to eliminate all unnecessary processes before running KSP to see if there is any improvement. You may benefit from something like razer's game booster, which shuts down the unneeded crap for you. Also, try running the free version of malwarebytes to make sure there are no infections. -
And yet, all of the best games are designed to run on windows. Hmmmmmm.

A Pause Button
Roadkill replied to Kingofawesome13's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Mods already exist for these issues. Time Control and Kerbal Alarm Clock. -
Which anti-virus would you recommend?
Roadkill replied to Commissioner Tadpole's topic in The Lounge
I recommend the None anti-virus. The full featured version is absolutely free and it takes up absolutely no computer resources to perform a function that can be done better by the pc's user. -
Bubbles steals shopping carts, fixes em up, and then sells them back to the mall. He lives in a shed and loves his kitty cats. That's what funny is. This is just stupid.↑

It would be nice if you would post that info in your RSS OP. It might help smooth relations with the community. Or you could be a .... and post crap like this.
-
And you're right about that, I admit it. I can see where it would get frustrating if I had to scroll through pages of junk. Come to think of it, that's pretty much what the entire internet is all about. Scrolling through pages of junk to find the answer to some of the simplest questions. Can I please have a compatibility checker for google?

The big thing is, when Squad says "OK, the game is finished", should we expect mods to work on all versions after that? Seeing that this game has no DRM, I fully expect this to never happen. For as long as this game is making money, there will always be new versions and broken mods that require updating. This is the DRM. As far as the "I'm tired of supporting noobs that run old versions" argument is concerned, it's really, really simple. Post bug reporting guidelines in your forum thread. If the guidelines are not followed, them IGNORE THE DAMN POST. It's quite obvious to me that if a poster cannot follow guidelines set forth by the mod author in a particular thread, then there will most likely be nothing to gain from said bug report in the first place. If you wish to continue beating you're head on the wall with bug reports that don't even start by posting a log, the who's the real idiot? When people see pop ups in game. it tends to .... them off. As a result, we see the mod posted here.

Devastating Report On Record Greenhouse Gas Levels
Roadkill replied to rtxoff's topic in Science & Spaceflight
So, should we send ourselves back to the dark ages voluntarily, or should we adapt to changes as they occur? That's the important thing in my mind. No one in the world is capable of accurately forecasting the weather for more than 3 days out. My local weatherman is lucky to get the forecast right for today. Anyone that says they know what's going to happen several years down the road is fooling themselves. Should we clean up the air because breathing smog is bad? Yes! There are many ways to do that without shutting down all the coal fired plants. Should we stop burning coal to produce electricity because someone says that if we don't bad stuff is gonna happen? I don't think it's time to sail that ship yet. No one can say for certain that it's gonna make a difference. -
micro stutter/freezing
Roadkill replied to SessoSaidSo's topic in KSP1 Technical Support (PC, modded installs)
Google : Unity garbage collection or KSP garbage collection to see if either of those describe your problem. Are you running ksp in 64 or 32 bit? -
My quick mission to Dres. You can totally do this completely stock and by eyeball. The intercept markers do tend to jump or disappear for no reason sometimes, and this happens with more transfers than just Dres. Sometimes, you can do a quick 5x timewarp to stabilize the ship and the markers to get an estimate of what you need to be doing.

On my pc, there is an icon in the top right corner of the ad that contains a link that directs you to the about google ads page. Here, it explains how the ads work and how you can configure or tailor them to suit your tastes. This is exactly the same thing as an "opt-out" approach that has caused controversy on these forums recently. Google utilizes the DoubleClick cookie to tailor the ads towards you. There are other ways to browse the web without google. Most of the larger companies, like Bing, MSN, and Yahoo, use similar tactics as google, but smaller less known search engines like DuckDuckGo respect privacy.

Nook charge lasts for about 1 month, can be set to any size print you need, is larger than most paperbacks, and will withstand rough handling, such as drops. Don't try to drop it from the top of a building or run over it with your car( I've done this with phones). Try carrying more than 20 books in your backpack. I've had my nook for 3 years now, and haven't lost a single copy of anything. I get my books from multiple sources, including the library, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. All I need is an internet connection to get access to virtually any book ever written, I don't have to physically travel to a store. I have no response to the smell part, but that largely depends on where you take your books to read them.
