Re: Fix for Linux Loki Checksum bug

Good work, very nice !

I know for sure that the selected player ship is included into the checksum. Subway dancer uses modified game content, which could also be included.

Re: Fix for Linux Loki Checksum bug

I'm ashamed it's 404, i have no clue how that happened (VEX changed servers twice since the release). Searching the web I found the perl script http://odf.sourceforge.net/downloads/descent3/d3fixd.pl but you will also need the checksum database.

There is no \"seeking time\" on flash memory, so defragmentation doesn't make much sense.

Does someone know where the very problem is in the current situtation, so it can be resolved ?

As it seems to me, full units are out of sight for the moment, but bare units (i.e. unassembled or just the board) might still be possible.

You can only vote someone who is nominated.

I guess in each party there is always a high hierarcy of candidates which have to be passed before final nomination.
The process of pre-nomination is simply determined by the organisation paying for candidacy :)

On the other hand, I find the actual definition itself to also be sketchy in that regards, as photons, even though they don't have mass, move at a speed of c, and 0/0 is just as infinite!

Neo, this is not the whole story. To show that energy is infinity at speed of light only says that the theory is obviously wrong for (massive) objects with speed of light.

The mechanics of relativity do not allow a transition between below speed of light and speed of light (and thus beyond speed of light). The calculation is rather simple: If you add up two velocities which are both below speed of light, the resulting velocity is _always_ below speed of light. It does...
