We also do have a problem with DoS attacks. The host actually does a fair job of fighting them off for us and getting things back up and running which is something I would have difficulty doing with my home servers since I don't have the time. Apparently D.net has enemies. Yeah keep a log as best we...

Yeah, it is a source of annoyance I have with the server company. Most of the time the server runs fine, but when it runs slow, I complain, they fix it, and I am pacified for a while. Then it does it again. The problem is the bottleneck between the server and the mysql server. I actually have half a...

About entropy. I don't think it takes so long. The entropy of American democracy, for example, took place in only a few generations. In fewer than 250 years government "of, by and for the people" degenerated into fascism, cronyism and military/industrialism. Not a very cheering legacy, if...

Agifem, You are a smart fellow because you have discovered two principles of economics that some of the first philosophers have talked about. Unfortunately, like philosophy, experimental evidence destroys many a theorem, and your hypothesis breaks down under scrutiny. I'll go back and explain scarci...

Agifem, you're forgetting the most important axiom of Economics. Scarcity. All things are scarce, there is a limited supply. Even robots are scarce. Moreover you are forgetting the second axiom of economics, the indifference curve - not everyone likes the same thing, hence not all robots will be the...

Site Temporary Slowdown

Hi All, The western half of the known universe has been receiving DDS attacks over Easter which is why the board has been running slow. The site should rise again, and be reborn after this weekend as the DDS attacks are brought under control. Thanks for your patience, langmann Webmaster 2007.04.08

It seems like time just keeps going by faster and faster every day. Getting older and when looking at the people of "substance" today its hard to find real genius. Who will define our society when we're old? Hopefully not silly Hollywood actors or certain flakey musicians. Another great mi...

Good. The only reason it was ever made a planet in the first place was because it was the only one discovered by an American...

There are some interesting changes in 7th, some of which are beneficial to the Druchii.

Another good one.

This game was brought to you by the letter B, L, and the colour Blood. (This must be Druchii sesame street).

I saw another army of Necrons a guy made out of wire, bolts, nuts and paper clips.

If the hobby gets any more expensive we'll be sure to see more of this!

They play 40k, fantasy, and Flames of War - the best game out lately IMHO.
