Although I usually am pretty burned out about Internet news, I think FG should have a forum to discuss Inet stuff and related gear.

Thanks!

<r>I was fascinated in the late 90's by the upcoming concept of playing virtual reality games online. Not just first person shooters, but the games that had worlds in which you interacted with other fictitious characters. A world where you lived, worked, made money, gained treasure, etc. ...

I don't necessarily agree with this. I for one don't believe that we are "alone." Doesn't jeapordize my faith a bit.

From what I've seen on other forums, polls are not necessarily popular. I don't know why. I voted!

Gosh! Don't worry! It's easy to miss. The option only shows up when you begin a new thread. I was looking for the same function a couple of weeks ago - and voila! There it was.

If she was smart, she would work on becoming an affiliate of some of these sites and get the benefit of all the clickthroughs!

But then again, it looks like a lot of these sites are from the old link exchange - so many of these websites are looooong gone.

I'm familiar with HAARP. They should shut it down or just fire it up when needed. (Actually, I'm not sure what the operational status is right now!)

Satellites provide us with much better over-the-horizon radar.

<t>Thank you for this post. It's fodder for a good debate. I doubt this will happen. An accident or a rogue event? Sure. That could happen with any country that has a sub. Here's my take on this: 1. The U.S. Navy will be shadowing and monitoring these submarines by s...

<t>I need to correct this. The whole World War II fiasco should have been prevented. It's crazy to point the blame at the Papacy. Most of Europe had its eyes closed while Hitler was building an arsenal. The U.S. was firmly in isolationist mode and wanted the Continent to take care of them...
