  1. He successfully wrote a thesis paper when he was 2 years old - making a ground-breaking new discovery and claiming 1592 patents about time travel in the process.
  2. [Wroo-ata-mah] - The title of alien leaders. Literally translated to "The one who rules the stars" penne'ste
  3. The I5 should be enough... unless it's a laptop. I7 is usually an overkill, even for gaming.
  4. I've read the following when randomly browsing internet, having nothing better to do: *Gets taken away with skull fractured from slamming it into the desk*
  5. However, if you can get the asteroid to some nice orbit, say, LKO, and have enough rendezvous and dock skills, you can launch with your tanks half-empty and fill for more dV once you're there. Also, it makes for a nice business plan for my kerbal megacorporation: Step 1: Launch a rocket to an asteroid Step 2: Get it somewhere nice Step 3: Dock a nice ad banner with it Step 4: ??? Step 5: PROFIT!
  6. Hello, fellow Linux user. May your decision to abandon windoze last forever. I made that switch 7 years later at college, and I used debian at that time. It was driving me nuts at first, TBH. But now, with Ubuntu 14.04, I think that not only those tech-savy among us can switch to linux. As one wise man on ubuntuforums said...
  7. I know one extremely computer-stupid person who said something about the lines of: Luckily I stopped her in time. God knows what she'd do if her computer suddenly stopped working.
  8. My spaceplanes have all the payload exactly at CoM (calculated ) and they're usually a bit of overkill, so there is fuel left to transfer to the front, not to mention RCS that is usually mostly full as well.
  9. I'd say some 20th april. But i'll explode with hype overload by then.
  10. I'm not sure what do you mean by "Needed for civilization". As for anatomy, you'll need processing power (Brain), good vision, versatile digestive tract (For easier food exploiting and not having to worry about food all the time) and also some neat and versatile tool for gripping things (hands), the more precision and dexterity, the better. Plus anything a non-sentient living organism needs. Adding certain upgrades like armoured bodies, strong muscles and such is certainly good, but not necessary. All in all, you'll need to be more versatile than the others and have enough brains to put that versatility in use. Also, it's worth noting that two adjacent sentient species would probably compete, leading to eventual eradication of any race. Also, keep in mind that a big brain tends to use a lot of energy, so I think the brain doesn't have to be big, but it certainly does have to be efficient. If you have all the above, the next thing you need is a friendly-enough environment and lots and lots of time for the species to come from sticks and rocks to hammers and concrete, or even further, and to develop enough technology. That process could be speeded up if the species would be guided by another (aliens) or if if we make them smarter. In my opinion, some apes will probably develop a primitive civilization with time (they are certainly smart enough for that). This question gave me an idea for my next free-time AI project. Could make my JunkBot use stones and sticks, if I have time. I'm just worried that his claws are not versatile enough for that.
  11. Granted. It's your job to clean it now. I wish for less stupid people requiring my attention at work. And btw... That's not corrupted at all. In fact, it IS perfection
  12. Granted. You've just accidentally invented a bigger atom bomb when messing with a reactor. You don't live long day to realize it. I wish I didn't accidentally 42 mb.
  13. Heat shields + shallow trajectory are your answer. I've survived a reentry with large mk3 beasts without losing anything to reentry heat by skimming the atmosphere multiple times and then gliding my way to safety. Aim for 30-35 km periapsis on your first skim and you should be OK. Also, I'd recommend to set up a 100km orbit before you return, if you have a highly eccentric orbit you're probably going too fast. If you have FAR and you like to overuse wings like me, pitching up is only a good idea when high in atmosphere. Once you get under 20 km don't even think about it unless you are going reasonably slow.
  14. Team A is better because team 1 is too hipster; therefore subculture and has no goverment support.
  15. No worries. Server backup loads automatically at 12:00 GMT. I sell the next poster's soul to the devil.
  16. Protection Of Offshore Development Lighting Equipment. MOUSE
  17. Banned because your math is incorrect. Low voltage + high power = high current. ( = heavy gauge wire)
  18. Granted. You have spinning wheels instead of legs. No brakes and no steering. I wish I could kill 5 people I hate the most without any bad consequences for me.
  19. Banned for quoting Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
  20. Hello, I think scientists don't stack. It's just the highest one that counts. As for the engines, it's just a matter of preference. I personally cluster LV-T45's, skippers, or nukes (depending on the craft). The engine goes all to what you like and need.
  21. Craft file went corrupted. It's gone forever, no way to recover it. If everything else works fine, just get over it. If it doesn't, reinstall.
  22. Well as I said, the cache solved it. You can try fiddling with the graphics yourself, for starters try to mess with with "Pixel light count" and "Shadow Cascades". It may be just a particular setting that does the problem. If that doesn't help, try reinstalling. But before you do that, make sure it's not just one save that does it. I'm pretty sure this doesn't happen too often, so the problem is likely in your particular install / setting.
  23. Minimus, mun, Duna or if you are not coming back you could try eve. There's nothing like "the best place". Just make sure there is no slope.
