counting is hard for mangeese, give him a break

Spelling is hard for people who eet sqrls...  



Ah, then um, which *is* the novalith cannon...

I dont believe it is in the pics.

its not in any of those screeny's. Think it was in a magasin called PC gamer

8 bits = 1 byte.

A 100Mbit (per second) connection roughly transfers at 12.5Mbytes per second. Although the numbers might be visually equivalent, the units are not. They are both measurements of storage. Since we are used to base 10 figures, we usually deal with bytes instead of bits (which is base 2). The machine handles everything in binary (base 2) and therefore does it all in bits (not bytes).


I like the 5th (from top) image of the bow of that cruiser and the 3rd (from last) image of the TEC Akkan (or is it a Dunov) class battlecruiser.

ohh kk thats a shame you could always scan it and put the image up for me   

well it would be more accurate to say the system handles bites within bytes, because while the base 2 system is what the system works in, the larger base 8 is how the information is input and output, and so the computer has to process with that base 8 as a reference.

as we humans use a base 10 system and a base 12 measurement system in America and two other countries

its not a base 12 measurement system... its only inches to feet that does that.

speaking of which I damn well wish we would switch to fricking METRIC.

eh, nobody other than architects talk in anything bigger than feet anyways... and we generally use feet instead of yards anyways.

PS, miles are just stupid

Agreed!

yeah, astrophyscisists are all about those super small dimensions...

if I ever get elected to office I swear...

The people in the article are such noobs

I'm going to be El Presidente por vida de Terra (President for life of Earth), and when I achieve said power...EVERYTHING WILL BE METRIC. Tweleve inches per foot, three feet per yard, 5280 feet per mile?! And then there is volumetric measuring! 8 ounces (which is abreviated oz?!) per cup, 2 cups per pint, 2 pints per quart, 4 quarts per gallon?! Whoever invented that system was sadistic towards the poor students who would have to learn this crap. My second act as El Presidente por vida de Terra...Star Wars will be rewritten...SO THAT THE EMPIRE WINS!!! BWHAHAHA!       

You've got my support
