[Off-Topic] GUPT VIII

[Krytom]

Lady and Gentlemen, I present to you the GUPT VIII!

The Eighth Grand Useless Post Thread

Terms and Conditions apply.

Enjoy, and try not to post too many pictures, like on the GUPT II.
Let's all be peaceful and happy. If you want wars go to another forum.

[UAF_Lt_Brenton]

Notice the fact I left it this time.

[DocHoliday]

Noticed.

[McBrain]

Argh!!

This had to be happen!

[Krytom]

I was waiting for the very mention of a new GUPT so I could claim one at last. It was mentioned, so it is now here.

Anyway, I thought I'd put this up, even though it's nothing special:

[DocHoliday]

hehe, relax guys, just post away, it's da GUPT

[She_Da_Lier]

Is it Kulch's lunar city?

[Krytom]

It is. I like the picture because it looks like there are lights in the city making the DGIII cast a shadow. But I think it's
actually the Sun only just peeping over the horizon. Multiple light sources would be very nice, a good feature to add
for the next Orbiter. (thinks of landing lights )

Uh oh, I'm going on topic! How about some random posts about random topics, anyone?

[McBrain]

Something random?

Take this: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7300009337&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT
It's mine now!!! And it almost plays itself! Also it sounds very cool! It sounds "wirily".

[freespace2dotcom]

random, eh?

http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7086

"The trimaran-like design weighs 9979 kilograms fully loaded and fuelled, and has an impressive wingspan of 34.7 m."

I suspect though, that they were actually meaning a perfectly even 11 tons and 38 yards respectively, but who
knows?

perhaps it's the result of a miscomunication between the makers and the international community and then to me.

...Or maybe I'm just being ornery.

..Nah.. it's definately the former.

(PS:  I still have gupt XII)

y'know, I'm being very stubborn, and although I know of all the flaws of my beloved IE, I'm too attached to it, and
wind up using it as my main browser regardless...

mebbe someday I'll get some terrible virus that ruins IE on my computer... that's the only way I'll probably get off of
IE for good.

[Krytom]

I use both browsers, becuase both have their advantages and disadvantages and I exploit my browsing tasks
accordingly between them. For downloading I mostly use Firefox, but for going on forums I use IE because it's
often more compatiable with the software.

[Travis Reed]

I too must admit to using IE, though, only when going to FilePlanet or updating Winblows manually or going to other5 sites
that hate Firefox. I use Firefox for everything else.

[McBrain]

I use Firefox for sites with "programms" on it (browergames, like ogame) and opera for normal browsing.

[freespace2dotcom]

here's a fun little quiz for all you who THINK you know me.
