Ok, also going to add in B'Tran, normal for those, what I now know as yellows, they look brown to me.

But if you are VA I hope that you will go into the VA version as well, as the purple data samples don't appear in any other sector space other than there. Those are in short supply :(

This would be extremely interesting if true. Of course it would only become an "accepted" interpretation of a site so long as others in the field agree with the interpretation of the burial site. Time will tell.

I'm loathe to believe anything the Daily Fail put in their news.

Still, it's an interesting cultural anomaly from the standard burial rites.

World's First 'Gay' Caveman

April 07 2011


Archaeologists who uncovered this 5,000-year-old man in the Czech Republic believe the Stone Age-era skeleton is the first-ever gay caveman discovered. How come? Because of the way he was buried. And I'm not talking about the way it looks like he's bent over ready to receive.

During that period [between 2900 and 2500 BC], men were traditionally buried lying on their right side with the head pointing towards the west; women on their left side with the head facing east. In this case, the man was on his left side with his head facing west. Another clue is that men tended to be interred with weapons, hammers and flint knives as well as several portions of food and drink to accompany them to the other side. Women would be buried with necklaces made from teeth, pets, and copper earrings, as well as domestic jugs and an egg-shaped pot placed near the feet. The ‘gay caveman’ was buried with household jugs, and no weapons.

Except wouldn't burying the dead man in the ritual of a woman actually make him not gay, but trans? Or maybe he was actually intersex, but lived as a woman? Ah right. But the Daily Mail went another direction.

Archaeologists do not think it was a mistake or coincidence given the importance attached to funerals during the period, known as the Corded Ware era because of the pottery it produced. From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake,’ said lead researcher Kamila Remisova Vesinova. ‘Far more likely is that he was a man with a different sexual orientation, homosexual or transvestite. What we see here does not add up to traditional Corded Ware cultural norms.’

Maybe I should try installing it on my Win7 64 bit... If it doesn't pan out... I suppose I could always install it on the XP mode virtual machine.

Yeah, Afehirr is lower than VA :D

I just took a look at the samples the Carfting Corps need and it was greens and purples, but no doubt these will be getting swapped for different events.

I am toying with the idea of adding in another nebula for the brownish ones, but still to find what one :)

Am I allowed to do a different nebula as I'm only a lowly RALH :-(

Oh yes! Awesome Awesome Awesome! The new season looks great and its about time too. This is the only reason I pay extra on my cable bill to get BBC America (that and Top Gear for my BF). I'm also very much looking forward to the new Torchwood series, I've missed me some Cap'n Jack (sigh).

I still have BotF in my game library, but it's been so long since I've played, I have few memories of HOW it played. I do remember all of the openings thanks to Rickster's refresher.

I've been doing some digging, and apparently there are some patches out there that people have used to some success to get it running on XP, Vista and 7. Haven't tried it myself yet.

This topic almost makes me want to play it again. It does work under windows 7 but unfortunately you have to run it through DosBox which really does bring down the graphics quality somewhat.

@Rickster: Lol that takes me back. At one point I had all 5 of them memorized. I hated playing as the Cardassians because their economy was always tanking.

The Enterprise investigates a vessel that crashed on the surface of a Dyson sphere 75 years ago. An undegraded pattern is found in the transporter buffer, that of Mr. Scott. Feeling out of place and obsolete, Scotty agrees to return to his vessel with Geordi to help restore the logs, and they become the only hope when the Enterprise is accidentally pulled inside the sphere.

It definitely was a great read. I am amused by one thing about the member spotlights, but it has nothing to do with the author (Zep) nor the layout. Mikey read the second one (before I had a chance) and was convinced that it was Zep who was from Rochester, NY. I kept thinking his accent was a little out of place for a native Upstate New Yorker. ;-)


OMG, you didn't have to tell anyone!!!!! :blush: I had a blonde moment god!!!! can't we just let it go?!
