Sorry o bother you again; I was finally able to get on site via Fusion a couple of weeks ago, but my reviews since then start with a hundred so lines that start with deprecated error. Any idea what's wrong?

I was able to contact Athenaprime, one of the mods; but so far all I got back was they are working on it.

was reviewed Friday. Saw nothing wrong with it, Interesting version of the Sith too

It's nice to be appreciated. Reading them as I sit here alone, gorging on a turkey I cooked myself...

It's not that foolish a question. In old English, you pronounce the whole word, a throwback to Latin where you pronounce all of the letters in a word. So blessed (Which we pronounce 'bles-sd)' is pronounced bless-ed. It wasn't until around the late 17th century that the language smoothed it out to what we're used to now.

I have, but it was by a pretty bad publishing house. Publishamerica. I joke about it now because I was happy at the time. Now I say it's like you are boasting about your first date... with your sister

That would mean that everything that breathes air on the surface would be dead within a matter of months, and the surface would not be inhabitable for about 150 years. If you need more, contact me at rihannsu92220@yahoo.com

First thing to remember, is that most enhanced energy weapons have line of sight ranges for thremal and radiation pulses. That means that a nuclear weapon detonated at 5,000 meters (about 16,000 feet) will irradiate or set alight anything within a radius of 50 miles. While that sounds large, it is less than one thousanddth of one percent of the planet's surface.
To do what you suggest, you need not one bomb, but severa scattered all over the planetl.
Back in the seventies, they envisioned a 'doomsday' device which consisted of 50 missiles each with a 100 megaton weapon with a cobalt/ thorium sheath set where prevailing winds would cause the maximum spread. The detonation would cause the thorium to suck up the raqdiation of the blast which would be transferred to the cobalt releasing cobalt isotopes with a half life of approximately fifty years as fallout.

I don't know if you have ever read it, but in the Book Starship Troopers by Heinlien, the main character is speaking with a doctor when he is taking his induction physical. In the book, military service (Broadened further in future chapters to electrical linemen, firefighters and police) guarantees the right to vote. The doctor (A civilian) examining him had this to say; 'But if you came in here in a wheel chair and blind in both eyes and were silly enough to insist on enrolling, they would find something silly enough to match. Counting the fuzz on a caterpillar by touch, maybe.'
I can see someone in charge of such things saying 'organ donor until there's nothing left'

After reading the first chapter, I was a bit leery of posting on the site. Not that it isn't good; just I have a negatvie weakness for utopian societies that find a use for everyone. The first chapter reminded me of the TV show Lost where John Locke is convinced by sweet reason to give up a kidney to his estranged father. Once the operation is over, of course the 'father' wants nothing to do with him. After all, he got what he wanted.

No worries; considering I have two of my own that haven't been updated, I can't complain, now can I?

I'm getting an internal server error and have been for two weeks now. I have tried to contact the webmaster but the email address came back as undeliverable.

Trying to login though the Fusion web site, I receive;
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@starwarsknights.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
My attempt to use the email above gives me a 'delivery failed'.
Is their any way you can help?
