They are looking into online servers as you can see from the following threads on the Russian Descent Outpost (the first thread is titled \"Descent 3 Game Servers on the Internet\"): http://rdo.unirep.ru/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=dgameplay;action=display;num=1117688914 http://rdo.unirep....

No, I'm not there, but then we wouldn't want me to break MidiV's camera, now would we? Actually, like Suncho, I would like to go to a Russian LAN party at some point, but the time hasn't been right so far. I do think it's cool to see the series being played in other parts of the world though, and th...

I can help (I think).

If you look at all_finished_3.jpg, from left to right we have:

Ray
MidiV
McSeam (Oleg)
Lisa
FC (Roman)
Rider (Sergej)
Dustpan

Hukka (Sergej) was also there, and he can be seen in hukka.jpg and before_start.jpg (far right).

How did I do, MidiV?

I had the same problem when I lived in midtown Anchorage, Alaska. Not only would dial-up flake out, but I would lose phone service entirely on an intermittent basis (you pick up the receiver and all you get is static and no dial tone). There is no question that the problem had a correlation with pre...

Here's a suggestion in broad terms: The computer is looking for your OLD (i.e. pre-Netgear GA311) network card. This would explain why you get the \"Acquiring network address\" message (the old card is gone, so it never acquires an address for that particular card). You mentioned that you ...

MidiV recently indicated in this thread that there will be a Descent LAN party in St. Petersburg on 22 April 2006. He will post more details on the Russian Descent Outpost shortly. EDIT: MidiV has posted some additional information here . Basically, he is requesting that you post in this thread if y...

Charles Kuralt used to tell a story where he was in a store in Montana, and he happened to pass a fully-grown woman looking at a \"bear bells\" display. The woman turned to the salesman and asked (in all seriousness) \"How do they get the bears to wear them?\"

Recorded audio from the suit is being posted at this site: http://www.aj3u.com/blog/ Note the antenna array being used by VE6BLD in Canada.

http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/index.php I was curious to see if it is possible to hear the suit with a scanner, but this article indicates that it isn't. You apparently need a computer-controlled antenna system with fairly high gain. Most amateur radio operators wouldn't have suitable equipment to ...

My apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but there is a 13 January 2006 news item at http://www.descent3.com/ which indicates that the Descent 3 Version 1.4 No CD and Version 1.5 Beta patches have been updated to fix a Windows 98 issue.

You might also consider moving to more conservative memory settings to see if that makes a difference (i.e. speed, latency, etc.). For example, if the motherboard permits operating the memory at a different speed from the FSB, you might drop memory speed down a notch. This can do wonders for stabili...

Here is the DSL pricing structure for us here in Northwestern N.C.: https://www.fastaccess.com/content/consumer/products.jsp We were paying $34.95 a month for the 256Kbps service, but then prices dropped, so we moved to 1.5Mbps service, and the price is $2.00 cheaper per month at the faster speed.

At the time of the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Russians were on the verge of no longer being the ethnic majority in the U.S.S.R. Birthrates of non-Russian ethnic groups were explosive in comparison to that of Russians, particularly in the Central Asian republics. Many Soviet/Russian Affairs sch...

It's a pity there isn't any discussion about Rocket.

akula65

Matt Frewer was Edison Carter (Max Headroom), but Rocket played the head of Carter's rival network in the series, so you're right, there is a connection.

(It's nice to see that somebody remembers that show.)

This thread threw me for a loop when I saw it earlier today. The problem seems to be that we are literally not all on the same (code) page. I use Netscape 7.2 (a Mozilla-based browser), and it allows you to view Cyrillic languages using a number of character encodings (a.k.a. code pages back in the ...

Given id Software's early willingness to provide source code and other necessary information and software to potential modders, David Kushner's "Masters of DooM: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture" might be a good source.

Unfortunately, MidiV said that only four people showed up for this event, although more had promised to come. He said that they played 2-on-2 Monsterball for at least four hours and had a blast.

Demos, screenshots and statistics are posted here:

Microsoft seems to be willing to blame it all on static buildup: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320554 They are referring to USB ports, but if static buildup can cause this type of problem, it could be just as relevant to gameports. You might give their "solution" ...

I can't imagine running for an hour every day. I started riding a stationary bicycle for 30 minutes every day in June 2004, and that is quite enough aerobic exercise for me. I lost forty pounds, and a nagging pain in my lower back has disappeared.

Thanks for the replies. Kiran - I had similar experiences firing handguns and shotguns as a kid at gun club-sponsored picnics. I remember my whole shoulder being black and blue.

Reading some of the other threads about guns, a question comes to mind. How many of you had to take a hunter safety course in junior or senior high school? When I was 14, my high school required that all male students take a N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission-approved hunter safety course as part of ...
