It would be EXTREMELY cool if someone just improved the damn graphics and added some more human weapons. I'd be perfectly satisfied with JA2 level graphics and cool character models (clad in black, body armor, helmets, tactical flashlights strung uder the barrels of their weapons, etc) Plus good gre...

I actually liked Sim City 3000 just fine, expect for those dumb-looking fusion powerplants.

There was nothing that could be compared to watching your giant hard-built metropolis covered with pollution from far away :)

What new features does SC4 have? And what the hell is Republic? :)

The night underwater mission were SO much creepier than those from the original.

I'm writing the next chapter, but, unfortunately, mid-term exams are coming close, so I don't really have enough time to think about the story.

I'll post it as soon at it's finished.

In relation to this...more than armour...simply not being there is a much better defense.

As I understand it, armor piercing bullets defeat kevlar armor by applying force to the smallest area possible. This is why you need a material that can resist schock well (eg. steel), so that it won't break under the stress. Fullerenes would be closer together, yes, but would this property in itsel...

Fullerene vests vs Kevlar and steel

Ok, a topic for the engineers in here. I've been hearing a lot about fullerene nanotubes and their supposed properties. There are people claiming that such tubes are 100 times more durable than steel, and as such would be great for replacing kevlar as a material that bulletproof vests are made from....

X-Com fanfic: Gabriel's Sword

The idea struck me a few days ago. I won't bore you with the description of the thought process, I'll just say it involved lots of heavy metal, a little boredom and a night's game of X-Com.

When members of an essential city service strike, it's putting people at risk. It should be dealt with swiftly, either with negotiations, or just giving into their demands if they keep the strike up, if the demands aren't too much. However, some might exploit this and give themselves raise after ra...

True enough, and it is my opinion that you should avoid giving those people a reason to strike in the first place. But let's assume that they DO go on strike. Would you fire them all, or try to negotiate, or do something else entirely?

EDIT: Fixed a little typo

Govrnment employee strikes

Well, in my English class today we were discussing if government employees should be allowed to strike if they are underpaid, in order to get higer wages. The issue went unreasolved (well, it was a speech excersise, after all, not a formal debate), but it managed to slip into a morality discussion. ...
