Wisp

I conquered my fear and tried to do a backflip. Landed wrong, but who knows about next time.

Course the plague lasted oh, a few hundred years?

That's incorrect; most employers have the ability to view your profile regardless of whether you accept them or not. I'm also sure they have the ability to view everything you've submitted, regardless of whether it's been deleted or not. However I do know for a fact that deleting things from facebook does NOT remove them forever and it is very possible to bring pictures/information back that was 'deleted'. I do have a facebook, and it's very neat seeing how friends I still haven't seen in four years have changed. It's also a neat way to find out more about someone, as in how they type (shorthand or not), how often they update facebook-related things (status, pictures), what info they decide to disclose, etc. It's surprising how casual people are about what they put onto facebook :-? From what I read in the privacy policy the only things an employer or a school or anything can see is what you allow people who aren't your friends to see, they can't just have access to all your information just like that. Yea, I don't believe that either. Simply because someone works in HR doesn't mean Facebook gives them godmods. Granted, there are ways to see a profile that's blocked for you, but I don't think anyone would really try that hard. Besides, like anything else on the internet, you should be smart about what you upload. Also, am I the only one who thought it was so strange that people never started/stop using Facebook? It's such a norm that it's odd to hear. Like someone saying they don't have a cell phone/internet. It leads to "...lolwut?" moments. At least for me. While it's not deleted entirely, in all likelihood, it's not like FB staff will look through their records for any random guy claiming to need a background check on an employee or something. If you really want to be hard to find from employees and are deleting everything, change your name to something else. So if your real name is Steve McSteve, change it to Nick Nicoli. Then delete everything.

Will do. This reminds me, the fruits have been altered so that no seeds are inside them. Where exactly are the seeds then? How do they reproduce?

I think I'll provide one of the most historical thing to the museum. One of the original modules from the first Brazilian-Norway spacecraft to reach another system. It'll arrive on Earth in ~2 years. It represents the start of the true space age. I'll also give the first prototype of a hypersonic fighter.

In any case, assuming that the crap doesn't hit earth, here are the following things that will be worked upon. Research into plasma windows, now that we have so much more available energy. Increasing the size of the research center I have in empty space by about 10 X. Researching even more efficient ways to create large amounts of nanotubes. Increasing production capabilities of my shipyard system even more. AI research. Robotics (I'm not planning on doing anything similar to you Ross, don't worry) Improvements on the security of habitats.

Actually, the reason why we were using such big numbers was because the NWO was. If anyone remembers, for a hundred years my entire military was a few million people. Then everyone kept escalating, and using armies bajillions strong, so keeping our armies low (Dusty's was around 10m before the NWO started creating gigantic armies), we don't really have much of a choice.

"Good thing I invented that infinite improbability drive earlier"

Excellent. You just attempted to destroy a planet, and kill billions of people. Go you. Under the reasoning of. "I want to stop unneeded war deaths. By blowing up everyone."

Fine, the sentence is now for all members of the government of your people. They will be standard transports, designed for transporting people to and from space. They aren't using a warp drive, they speed up by different means. But, if Ross feels like firing now, I'll wait.

Total casualties of the war were around 500 million. And there are far more 6 billion people on earth now. I also took of charges for attempted killing of endangered species, attempted property damage, and so on. Relativistic weapons are banned. These are not weapons, they are being launched at rocks.

In other news, Archi has been found guilty on 8.2 billion counts of attempted murder, property damage in excess of 6 trillion dollars (Bulgarian ships destroyed), and conspiracy to commit mass murder, in international court. He has been sentenced to 326,982,000,000 years in prison. Archi, they aren't traveling past the speed of light. They are perfectly legal.

Whatever, forty medium sized vessels from earth have been stripped of crew, and are now programmed to hit the asteroids in such a way that it would alter their angle. The ships will be traveling at just subluminal speeds.

Archi, given that you didn't make it clear where the asteroids were firing from, it was assumed they were in line with jupiter. Hence the corrective gravity thing, which included the moons in one of your posts I think.

No it wouldn't. You know what, I just looked at a planetary chart. It looks like Earth is gonna be tragically on the opposite side of the sun from the asteroids. Oh well, it happens.

20 degrees would make it miss by a good 45 million miles. I think. Given that it's still no where near earth, no major change is needed. EDIT: math done wrong, 20 degrees would put it off course by a good 200 million miles. That's over 2x the distance from the earth to the sun.

If the angle was altered by even .1 degrees, your asteroids would miss by over 2 million miles. I just did the math.

I send the battleships I mentioned a while ago that were near neptune, they will attempt to alter the trajectories slightly.

I remember before we switched boards you could open other thread reply windows, just not post. That was way nicer, so you could atleast write up your next reply in between posts, and by the time you finished writing the flood limit timer would have ran out.

May I ask how plasma windows work then? Basically, they aren't shields. They're layers of plasma. They slow matter down as they go through it, but not stop it, usually, unless it's going very slow. All plasma is just superheated gas. And, it holds in the internal atmosphere, so everything released from the city (pollutants) would be trapped, and everyone would die. And no, you can't power them with a couple nuclear generators. Plasma isn't your classical movie "shield" but it's the closest thing we have to one.

Mather, you don't understand how plasma windows work at all do you? Firstly, your cities all die of massive pollution and asphyxiation. Actually, they don't because you can't power the shields. Sorry.

Archi, I don't think firing a moon is at all possible, especially if you want it to hit anything. Why? Because planets orbit, moons orbit planets, and then you have the asteroid belt. Heres what would need to be accounted for: 1: Firing the moon at the perfect point so the Moon would be in the perfect place in 3 years. It would take decades for Jupiter/Saturn to get into the correct position. 2: Firing the moons so they wouldnt hit any asteroids in the belt. Also pretty much impossible, given that youre firing a moon. 3: The gravitational effects of everything in between Jupiter and Earth (390,682,810 Miles minimum), including Mars, Asteroids, Jupiter itself, and the Sun, plus any random thing floating in space.

Archi, out of curiosity, how do you plan to fire a moon? And be accurate?

I think you misunderstood me. I'm talking about energy out/energy in, not gained energy/potential energy.

Hit M. It will let you switch to the team with an open spot.
