  1. That's the one. Although it was more a war between Britain and France (whom we cannot resist war with, classically speaking), the USA still understandably celebrates the outcome.
  2. Best ring up PayPal then. Their phone number's somewhere on their site.
  3. Cursing the name of Cornwallis for letting our territory get captured.
  4. Aaah that was it. I've not seen any birds yet?
  5. Paypal introduced a thing recently called 'Pay After Delivery' where your payment isn't processed for 14 days. Could be that.
  6. I thought it was decided someway back that they were an advanced form of moss?
  7. I heard somewhere that Randall plays KSP, too. You might actually get his permission. edit: http://xkcd.com/1106/ there we are. In the mouseover text.
  8. MGM's financial trouble is the real reason, though.
  9. Game playing isn't really a remote desktop thing. A few companies make stuff that does work quite well though, like LogMeIn and GoToMyPC.
  10. What with Netflix being nice guys saving popular shows and all, some clever bugger's made a petition to get them to pick up Stargate Universe. Considering the show went off the air a couple of years ago with a plot point (cryogenic suspension) explaining that was exactly what they'd be doing, it's about the right time to resurrect it. http://www.change.org/petitions/netflix-save-stargate-universe The petition's already got 35k signatures out of 100k in just a few months.
  11. Hexidecimal. Separate it out every two characters, i.e. DD FB 2E BE 6A, etc. Each two character value corresponds to a number between 0 and 255, and then to who knows what. Probably letters.
  12. Spork. Failing that, I just give in to starvation.
  13. To give a non-GET MODS! answer, I achieve it using RCS at the apoapsis and periapsis.
  14. Not entirely true about the CPUs with built-in GPUs. We've got a couple of machines running with the new AMD Llano processors, and they can handle Solidworks just fine without any separate graphics card. You don't necessarily need a new motherboard either, only if the socket is different (although you probably will need one upgrading from a processor that old, I got rid of mine 6 years ago!).
  15. I can never get my head around gauging how much to aerobrake by. Always end up dunking into a planet or not really affecting my orbit at all. Still, it's an idea for the second shot if I hit it retrograde again.
  16. Unfortunately I hit the Joolian system in a retrograde orbit. I didn't have enough delta-v to stick it back round the right way and ended up slingshotting out of the Kerbol system at a rate of knots. I'll try again tomorrow...
  17. First and second attempts - failures. Looks like I can only attach 5 pictures to a post...
  18. Pretty sure there's already one in .17, on Bop or Gilly.
  19. As long as it's actual dubstep, not that bastardised american nonsense, I can let that slide.
  20. Totally got a ship that'll do that, already hopped between two of them. I'll get on that this week.
  21. Just a thought: Would cyclers actually work in KSP? Because don't ships that aren't under your control ignore SOI changes?
  22. I used to use mods a load back around 0.13.2, but they kept going out of date so I stopped bothering. All I've got now is the crewtank for rescues.
  23. Yup. Your mind turns to jelly and you can't conceive of anything that isn't cubic.
