Re: What Fantasy/Sci-Fi book have you just finished? Please rate it... Hell's Gate by David Weber. Fantasy rather than sci-fi - two cultures are bot exploring a vast network of "gates", each leading to an alternate earth. One has magic, one has roughly 19th century technology and psionics. Neither has encountered humans other than themselves. Tragically, the first contact goes very badly indeed... Weber is using all of the stuff he's learned inthe past, particularly in the Honor Harrington series. Both cultures seem very real, and very authentic - they have their own fracture points, failings and problems, and you get heroic, sympathetic, pathetic and villainous characters on both sides. I really want to see where he goes with this.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From my Eberron D&D game this afternoon: Kast, the Warforged Artificer is translating some ancient Goblin on the steps leading up to the door of a tomb. They say "He who disturbs my tomb shall die horribly." Nona, the Elven Lurk (who's player has been out of the room for a "comfort stop"): 'So, what does it say?' Kast, after a short pause: 'Only an Elf can open this door.'

Re: Answers & Questions Q: Why don't you go and have swim around the dome if you're bored? A: The cube-point pen.

Re: The Future of Small Arms True, but I look on the original Gyrojets as equivalent to, perhaps, wheellocks. They worked, but they were too expensive, cranky, maintenance intensive and a general pain in the ass. Proof of concept, no more. The next step for the projectile launcher was the flintlock. Likewise, I figure the next step for Gyrocs will be much more useful and user friendly. Sorry, I wasn't especially clear there. I was actually referring to the idea of explosive warhead bullets, not modern rounds (which are quite stable). No, the original Gyrojets had quite good accuracy. Not as good as a match-tuned, bead polished sharpshooter's rig, sure, but around what you'd get from most assault rifles. I suspect homing technology is going to change a few things.

Re: Answers & Questions Q: And to what do you atribute your pre-deriliction for bricks? A: No, you have to cancel it first... Q: So, I move the icon to the little triangle, press INSERT, type my ID number, ENTER, ESCAPE, type my name, ENTER, ESCAPE, TAB twice, type my access code, ENTER, type my password, ENTER, then move the icon to the ACTIVE bar, and then I can use my PDA? A: Payback's a Beach.

Re: The Future of Small Arms Maybe so. But I tend to think the real future is in micro-rockets - eliminates the recoil problem, and has a far higher terminal velocity, not to mention the possiblilities for terminal guidance. Plus, since you're using a fast-burn propellant rather than an explosive, significantly less chance of blowing up and taking out your squadmates if you get hit.
