No fixed numbers of clones stated or to be stated would also seem to be LFL's stance on the matter, which many of the Trekkie minimalists at least seem to be blatantly ignoring. One I've met has even succumbed to try and claim that taking LFL's stated "no fixed number of clones could or would b...

Extremely interesting information. Certainly it speaks heavily against the minimalist argument. The quite clarifying information regarding "units" is especially helpful.

Would anyone happen to have the quote from the RoTS Novelization regarding the Sector Governance Decree at hand? I'd like to include that in the essay as well. In addition, is there any information regarding the extent of cloning facilities at Coruscant and its moon?

Nothing indicates that Kamino was the only source of clones, anyway. For all we know, Kamino could've been just one of the many parties the Republic outsourced its clone soldiers from. Official sources have cloning facilities on Coruscant and its moon. However due to the failings of a certain autho...

The 10 years to grow a clone suitable for combat is weird especially considering the losses the GAR took in the process of prosecuting the war against the CIS. Is there any information in the EU regarding how large portion of the crews of Naval vessels were clones during the war?

I did some searching and asked a mod for permission to start a new thread about this subject. I realize it has probably been discussed quite a few times here already, but I'm currently in the process of writing an essay regarding the true size of the Clone Army and am in need of input. I'll post the...

Except that makes no goddamn sense. You control supply and demand by centralizing the interstellar economy and making everyone dependent on your goods, which you produce using a minimal amount of labor so you pay the fewest Indowy possible while producing at the lowest price possible. If you feel l...

That's an insane method of production. Wouldn't a plate be less complicated, and therefore much easier to produce? Is there ever an explanation given (it's been about 5 years since I read the books) why they build from the atom up? What's the raw material like? Whatever it is, could it possibly be ...

So the exact formulation used is too expensive. Then use two grades down, which costs much much less and offers marginally inferior protection at the kind of thicknesses we're talking about. *Sigh* The Indowy construct all advanced materials this way. Atom by atom, slow as shit. Ultimately some Abr...

So, "willing" a plate of material into existence is a lot more difficult than visualising a suit of armor atom-by- atom/molecule-by-molecule? OK...We are however assuming that what ever the suits are made of isn't available simply as a plate, with no visualisation construction needed. A t...

You can't justify everything you say by the fact that you live there. By your own admission, you've never needed any serious medical care, yet you rant about how awful the waiting times are for serious medical care in your country. What makes you any more specially qualified to discuss that than an...

Lets see. Approximately 25% tax on annual income, so lets say about $9,000. 7% sales tax in NJ. $7,000 property tax for a modest single family home = 18% tax on $37,000 in NJ (http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-13/1236932124138740.xml&coll=1), . Lets say health care cost ...

No the sky isn't falling nor is everyone existing in abject poverty here in one of those Democratic Socialist countries. However, I do find it peculiar that here in our joyous paradise of Finland, I have the pleasure of paying 25% of my annual income in taxes. Now, paying that out of 37,000$ annual...

The guy from Finnair (the largest commercial airline corp in Finland) who is in charge of their Airbus fleet has given a statement indicating that the ADIRU (Air Data Inertial Reference Unit) unit is unlikely to be the reason for the crash. According to him, the ADIRU units on the Qantas flight and ...

2-pack of 1.5 liter bottles of soda: 3.0 - 4.0 €
1 liter of regular low-fat milk: 1.2 €
6-pack of beer: 6 - 8 €

1 kg of hamburger meat: 4.0 - 10 €

How fast a car can accelerate depends not only on engine power but also on a friction between wheels and the road. If your uber turbocharged 1000 hp car is on ice it won`t accelerate fast because wheels will just spin with little traction. To get 0-60 in 2 to 3 seconds you need both very powerful e...

The most hilarious moment of the movie IMO: Fry: "Four aces!" *Starts collecting the pot* Bender: "A-a-aaa, read 'em and weep. Then tell me what they are." *flips his own cards* Wong (Dealer): "Three kings, with two on the board, that gives Bender fiiive kings." Fry: &q...

Desert Combat, I'm acting as the gunner in the Hind while some guy who knows his shit is driving. We've been flying around for a while, the entire match as a matter of fact without getting shot down and are hanging at the top of the score chart. We're doing an RTB for repairs and ammo when suddenly ...

Tried to find a way to get to the Galaxy News Radio station for four hours yesterday. It seemed as if there was no way around the junk filling the streets leading to GNR. I ended up going as far south as Rivet City to try and find a way to the station. After that, roaming through sewer's filled with...

The damage system is pretty cool this time around. Unlike Oblivion, F3's combat doesn't come down to "slap guy over and over until deader than you" health bar spam I despise. I mean, the game is already leaps and bounds ahead of Oblivion simply by removal of the Bethesda's disastrous NPC ...

I decided to try something insane today. Met a patrol of B.O.S Outcasts (the Black Power Armor is seriously cool shit) and figured "what the heck, I want that armor". So I tried to kill 'em. At this point I had Combat Armor and Combat Helmet with the better Assault Rifle (not the Chinese o...

Ok, perhaps then I'm the only one here but I do actually enjoy driving. I can't really explain why, but I am rather fond of having (and keeping, thank you very much) control of my car. Compared to the usual 20 something's, I can't in good conscience call myself a reckless or careless driver. I haven...

Been playing it for 10 hours total now and liking it quite a bit more than Crysis. Though one of the things I found annoying was the fact that those pesky checkpoints dotting every road get re-populated a tad too fast. Really, I come to a checkpoint, waste the motherfuckers hanging at it and return ...

99+ Octane Shell V-Power cost around 1.65 €/liter during the summer when oil hit 147 $/bbl. Now 1 liter of the same stuff costs 1.519 €/liter, while the price of oil has dropped 50%. Hmm....
