Well there is no point in making a flash drive with a high transfer rate if it won't be utilized.

What do you plan to do? When I get to university I plan to run a small custom computer business. Id do it now, but for some reason I doubt people would trust a 15 year old with expensive electronic parts.

Jus' sayin The nobles of Spain are currently sitting in a large room, deciding how to deal with the rebellion and how to spend their xboxhueg treasury. A decision should be reached in the next months.

Flood control wouldn't bother me, except that you can't hit reply and start your post until 45 seconds are up.

One question before I bury the horse. Does the 45 seconds between posts apply to all forum members, or just those in the tavern. I always assumed it was for everyone, but someone said a while back that was just for us.

I find the history of religion funny. First we had the Egyptians and Hindus who had thousands of gods to explain everything. Then we got a bit smarter, and only needed a few dozen gods to explain things. Finally, someone decided that it was just easier to have one god that covered everything, so once we figured out how something actually worked, we could just say "god made it that way".

Outside of the backroom, our posts really aren't as spammy as you seem to think. It is more casual, but definitely not what Id consider 'bad'. Ill admit that week when Archi went AWOL things started to get bad, unfortunately that was also the week the admins decided to show up here. I guess this is kind of like if the government banned purple shirts. The fact that I can't wear a purple shirt wouldn't bother me, it's the fact that the government had no valid reason for banning them. EDIT - Who's quote is that? EDIT - :wall:

It doesn't matter. I could care less if the forum has post counts. I just don't see how this board has more 'spam' than OT or RS.

I agree. Glen Beck is either and idiot, or the worlds most successful troll. My bets are on the first one.

America as a world superpower won't exist by the time you die. I can't see America ever truly collapsing; it's far more likely it will become isolationist. The world's superpowers will be Brazil, China, India and potentially the EU. The middle east will fall when the oil dries up. Africa may have some hope, but global warming will make it into even more of a barren wasteland. But I digress...

I was going to start Mafioso, but Ive been so damn busy the last 2 weeks, and school start soon, so it likely won't happen until mid September or October.

I think it stems from admins never being here, then suddenly taking away our postcounts, acting all surprised when we got mad at it, and telling us our posts weren't deemed worthy and were too 'spammy'. On this topic, you never did give us a solid reason why our posts don't count.

True, but that's because the flash drives are made for 2.0 . As 3 becomes standard, flash drive speeds will increase.

E-sata is beautiful, but too big for memory sticks. IIRC, USB 3.0 is about 10x faster than 2.0, and will be the standard in a couple years. Both laptops are good, but i'd go for the ASUS one.

Spain attempts to negotiate with the Rebels. "Over the years, The Kingdom of Spain has done much for the people of the Colonies. We have made all residents of any Spanish province citizens. We have improved infrastructure to levels of those overseas. We have even created a second capital to ensure all people of Spain have a chance for their voice to be heard. The strength of our nation comes from the vast array of resources and peoples under the King and God. The brightest future for your people is a strong, united Spain. Instead of using violence, we invite you to come to Caracas and present your concerns to the King, who will be more than pleased to help make the Spanish Americas a better place." In other news, I now have a treasury of 109,000,000. Full army update and such tomorrow.

Can Spain be put in a coma until I get back from my trip on saturdy?

Im pretty sure they buy it behind the sandbox from the sixth grader with the trenchcoat.

Atleast that's what it was last Thursday, or maybe on Caturday EDIT: Desu desu desu

I am now sitting on a treasury of 60+ million. Ill update tonight, I guess. @Dusty - Did my colonial team sent to Africa fail?

Prussia, we are giving you an ultimatum. Back down now or face war with Spain and Russia. ICU, I accept your peace terms. New map. Spain colonizes provinces in Africa, S. America and N. America. Spain also designates 5 provinces as the Native American Free State. Native Americans will be able to continue their traditional lifestyles in this country, or move to Spain and enjoy a modern lifestyle. Natives are also given full citizen status should they choose to live in Spain. Cost - 7,00,000 http://img43.imageshack.us/i/finaltreaty.png/ It won't post for some reason...

I always find it funny how people get crazy about bailouts that will be repaid with interest, but are happy to watch the army burn money halfway around the globe.

OT taught me that holy [cabbage] its 9:45 and I have a project due tomorrow. OT taught me that thread necromancy is bad, but so is starting a new topic when one exists on page 50. OT taught me that there are times when you need 10 tabs open for the same site.

Or not :P 4 teh lulz

Facebook connect will be turned on over my dead body among other admins bodies anytime soon. You won't be seeing that feature at all, rest assured. That's good to hear. Facebook connect angers me to the point that I only use Facebook on my iPod. Im not a fan of the new fonts, but Im sure there's a way to change that. The text editor background is way too dark, but otherwise good update.
