HarbingeR

Also checked all spam filters, nada. Just got this And the PayPal one

So Baldr, oor watter onderwerp wil jy gesels? Dan kan ons die stilte so 'n bietjie breek.

Now that the Donations are open I've referred this fine game to one of my friends who's big in the SA gaming community, so he'll be spreading the word around.

That's why most of the control is done in Houston by all those guys sitting around in the mission control room. The Astronauts are just, 'Spam in a Can' but know enough to do what they have to when the crap hits the fan. What I find amazing is the ancient computers controlling the flight surfaces with their inbuilt redundancy. There are 4 online, 3 look at the commands they receive and then vote on carrying them out. If they argue on the commands (corrupt) they decide who is wrong and bring the 4th one online to take over from the busted one. Then if that still fails and they disagree on the commands they notify the crew who can bring a 5th (offline) system online to assist. This prevents a rouge computer from issuing a command that would cause the shuttle to spiral out of control and crash.

Ok, how about I just call you Awesome instead.

Yay... Finally I get to throw some money at you guys, $20 heading your way. Which given my suckly exchange rate is around ZAR 150 and worth every penny / cent / dime / whatever. Keep up the good work and there'll be an extra tip later

I picked HarbingeR as a nick way back in the late 90's / early 00's as it means 'bearer of ill omen'; a messenger of doom. We started playing lots of FPS games and I had mad skillz I use HellborN-HarbingeR when the first isn't available or as of late, BloodSteyn

My System Specs: Dell Lattitude E6510 i7 Dual Core 2.6 Ghz 8Gb RAM With a F$^%ng Intel HD Graphics Card :-\ So at the moment I'm not really playing anything other than KSP on Low.

Just so everyone knows, he will go down in history as the FIRST ever Paralympian to compete at the World Championships as well as at the 2012 Olympics against able-bodied athletes.

I'm so thrilled today. Oscar Pistorius has finally, 3 years after the Court of Arbitration ruled that he's allowed to compete against Able-Bodied athletes, qualified for the World Championship and 2012 Olympics. GO MAKE SOUTH AFRICA PROUD...

Stay tuned for the sequel Also see here for a real ring of Dark Matter. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/news/dark_matter_ring_feature.html

I'm turning 30 this month, so I can relate to every word. I remember when my dad didn't want to loan me Aces over Europe, thinking it was too complicated for me. I remember using DOS and ARJ to get things across to other PC's using 1 stiffy disk (what we call em in South Africa). I remember playing FriendlyWare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendlyware from 1.2mb floppies. Corncob was an awesome flight sim, downloaded it the other day to play it again. I remember the amazing jump in performance when you pressed the Turbo button on a 386. And how we also kicked ass and chewed bubblegum in my first Multi-Player experience using a laplink cable. Yep, those were the days. Game play was more important than graphics back then.

Strap em on, light em up and pray for their Kerbal souls. Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the KSP Family. May you have many long and (mostly) successful journeys. And remember, time spent wasted is not time wasted

Of anti-protons! While it's not as visually cool as what Saturn has going for it, this is still an important development, even if we can't technically 'see' the ring with our primitive Earthling eyes. According to New Scientist, this anti-proton ring joins the previously discovered positron cloud that's also circling the Earth like an invisible shield. Ironically, the anti-protons are 2,000 times more massive than their positron counterparts, but were discovered second. Both are trapped in a donut-like ring called the Van Allen radiation belt that's held in place by the planet's magnetic field. Read More http://gizmodo.com/5828485/the-earth-has-a-ring

That my kind sir / madam / other is, for lack of a better word... Jebediahrific. ;P

*In South African Voice* Dis so Sharp, dis Ayoba!

That's another sure sign that you're in for a short flight... Welcome, may you have a blast, and the occasional blast-off too.

Fair enough, but I still stand by the statement that it was an insane amount of fun

IIRC, a circular orbit is just a continuous free fall? I stand by my initial statement I know it's not the same, but that's the closest thing I'll get to on my budget... and it's still a blast (of air that is)

I'm on my way to understanding how Jeb's mind works... Day 1, Zero G training. k8)

The Earth has its own well-behaved celestial Chihuahua on a leash. Two Canadians astronomers are among a team that has discovered our planet’s first Trojan asteroid, which is rotating the sun in our orbit. “The interesting thing is that it is synchronized with the Earth,†Professor Paul Wiegert of the University of Western Ontario told the Star on Thursday. “The asteroid always remains a little ahead, like a dog on a leash.†At 300 metres wide, it is a small dog to our nearly 12,800 kilometres. The discovery, made last year by NASA’s WISE satellite and confirmed in April after months of peering through the Canada France Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii, has immediate implications for our understanding of Earth’s neighbourhood and long-term possibilities for space exploration. “This asteroid is among the safest,†said Wiegert. “It never gets particularly close to the Earth, but it doesn’t wander too far away. There is a distinct gravitational link†Read more here http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1031516--we-have-company-asteroid-discovered-in-earth-s-orbit?bn=1

Dis goed om te hoor, en ek hou baie van jou 'Signature'. As jy enige vrae het oor SA kan jy maar vra en ek sal my beste probeer om te antwoord.

As ek mag vra, waar kom U in Europa dan vandaan?

You, my dear sir, are insane... Toying with the lives of the poor Kerbals who look up to you to bring them home safely. I can just imagine the sheer horror on their faces as the kearth came ever closer. Well Jeb was probably thinking quietly to himself, 'Man what a thrill'. You can be lucky they survived both your landings as I would have been forced to lay charges against you a the KSPCA for unwarranted cruelty. Having said that, bravo...!
