    Looks what arrived for Citizencon!

    Cool. I still think you should bring a keg, though. Nothing says "I love you" more than free beer. Well. . .maybe not nothing, but you get the idea.

    Net Neutrality

    The question is, can the provider or ISP like Verizon, set a higher price for Netflix than for a low bandwidth user. Net Neutrality did not allow the provider to set different rates, despite that this is exactly what the utilities do. Utilities charge you less for electricity than they do City...

    Net Neutrality

    I think you're the one who misunderstands. Reynolds Aluminum does pay much more for electricity than the average homeowner, becasue they use far more and the utlitiies do use the tiered system. The argument in the vid is that the ISPs should be able to do the same. It is not an argument that...

    Death From Above

    I am just shocked at this thing. Can someone tell me were to find the current torp ranges? This guy has a missile lock on a Tally at 30km. Does this mean the torp has a range of 30 km? He kills the Tally with a single missile. So a single Eclipse can eliminate 3 Tally's in a fight? Never...

    Net Neutrality

    I am following most of the arguments for Net Neutrality, but isn't it also true the regulations were defective in that they did not provide the kinds of protection that make the most difference to the individual end user? For instance, it seems to me the claim at time index 1:23 is a valid...

    I'm producing fortune cookies for CitizenCon and need your help!

    Your ship will be destroyed tomorrow by an Aurora pilot. You are destined for greatness, as a TEST Squadron Javalin turret gunner. Please don't feed seafood to donkeys. Yellow dots have no meaning. No, she said to fly over. . .

    Net Neutrality

    Yes well you understand, this is why we should all avoid generalizations. Regulation is not bad or good. It is bad or good given any specific issue. You may be correct to say in general we have to much, or too little, but what matters are the specific details. This is always so...

    Net Neutrality

    Yes, but you understand, the marketplace has already determined that Myspace will fail, because we all know we don't want to use FB to stay in touch with some friends and Myspace for others. There is a natural market force turning FB into a monopoly, and the public good is not served by using...

    Net Neutrality

    I think you think there is a competition going on. The competition is over. FB is not in a position to be replaced, nor is Google. That's all settled stuff. Dogpile is gone, Yahoo and AOL missed the boat. There is no coming back. AOL was situated to beat Yahoo, FB, Myspace, Google and a...

    Unleash the KRAKEN!

    But I like it when people twist my panties.

    Net Neutrality

    Well, when I need to look for someone, I'll look on Facebook or Linked In, but I haven't checked Myspace for many years because Facebook does indeed have a monopoly. For it to offer the service it does, it needs a monopoly-like utility. Otherwise we're all stuck with dozens of identical social...

    anyone ever use this?

    Yeah, I'm curious what the peeps think of the freeware CAD programs. So far all reports are good. So why pay for Solidworks?

    Unleash the KRAKEN!

    The first Drake ship I can be excited about. How many of us want a pocket carrier? This could enable all the short range ships to duty in deep space? This could make true dogfighters much more dangerous, by making them appear where otherwise they would not. View...

    Net Neutrality

    Normally I would agree with you, but I think services like Facebook are certainly exceptions to the rule. For Facebook to work as intended, it needs to have very broad participation. It is because FB had the early acceptance it did that it crowded the similar social networking sites out. Some...

    The Best of Both Worlds

    It's a review of the current tech coming from Magic Leap--augmented reality that lets you see through the glasses but superimposes images on that. So given the development one hopes for (they have multi-billion dollar funding) you could see the inside of your cockpit while flying and your...

    The Best of Both Worlds

    Yes. Forget monitors. You can still see your joystick, keyboard, etc., but you can see your cockpit too. View: https://www.facebook.com/wsj/videos/1076925192472414/

    Hurricane Florence and the US East Coast

    So happy to see Florence is downgraded to a cat 2! They were saying it would be a high car 4, almost cat 5 the other day and it's great that it has degraded. Still, folks are gonna get a lot of water. Isn't Toys in NC, right near where the storm is coming in? Prayers for our friends in NC...

    Mercury Star Runner Q&A is finally out

    That has always been my only compplaint against the Connie--the linear layout is dull. It is very utilitarian, especially since it presents a very small target head on, but it is dull. Buy Void Armor and go with the basic black.

    Super Hornet with C-788 "Combine" Ballistic Cannon + GT-220 Mantis

    A lot has changed the last few months, and I saw a few things that made me think this is now a broken resource, but if you look here: http://starcitizen.team/ what you can see is that at least for a time, the C-788 was planned to be the post powerful DPS of any sub-capitol ship size weapon...
