The Ur-Quan Masters Discussion Forum

Ok i need some help, i'm at the part where the syreen tell you to tell the mycon to go to a planet so the syreens can kill them. i told them about it but nothing has happened, any suggestions?

You can find this information in many places, namely the 10+ other threads archived here asking this very same question of you can look it up at the pages of now and forever.

Better yet go to 629.1, 220.8.

TERMINATOR - The Obnoxious One

thanks a lot

I wonder if that was ironic or if he got it? Oh well, problem solved anyhow. And it IS in theFAQ as well.

On a completely unrelated note, I think I shall begin spamming our FAQ's to everyone on the internet (yes, everyone, even you! That's right, I'm looking at you. Don't think your safe behind that screen of yours).

This would ensure more traffic for the site, preaching the good word of UQM (which is good), and it'd ensure that when people arrive, they already know what to do about the Mycon! Another brilliant solution.

Spamming, like violence, is never the answer

I dont think that applies in every situation. Granted, if there is an alternative to violence/spamming then that alternative is most likely the better option, hower that is not always the case.

But what if the alternative to spamming is violence, or vice versa?

Then you'd find yourself in quite a bind.

Speaking of spamming, I heard from a newspaper what Bill Gates solution for it is. He wants to charge for email, think that woul;d keep spam down. Thinking about it, that would work, except that I get spam from our regular postal service. Actually, I am only fifteen, but I have been offered over twenty credit cards even though the age limit is 16.

Speaking of violence, I heard from a newspaper what The Goverments solution for it is. They wants to charge for violence, think that woul;d keep it down. Thinking about it, that would work, except that I get violence from our regular bar patrons. Actually, I am only twentytwo but I have been offered over twenty death threats even though the age limit is 25.

Hey I got one for ya, why is spam called spam?

Who came up with the idea to call completely irrelevant posting/emailing spam?

Why didn't they call it Spork, spork is better than spam.

Perhaps we need Spam-blockers, much like Pop-up Blockers.

Why am I ranting on like this?

I hereby petition everyone to quite refering to utterly useless crap as spam, instead lets call it "Bill Gates"

The word spam reminds me of this small chuckle.

If corn oil comes from corn, were does baby oil come from?

It's a reference to the spam sketch (http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/sg/python/Scripts/TheSpamSketch) in Monty Python episode 25.

Not to mention Hot Dogs.

It's an acronym!

Slime Posing As Meat...SPAM

Oh really? ghe cool :)
But that applies to the food product spam, not the unwanted email.

S**t Posing As Mail, naturally.

How could I not see that :)

Shoulder of Pork and hAM

A friend of mine owned http://www.spam.org back in 1995, and he kept getting threatening letters from Hormel.  They were humorous to read through.  It appears that someone else owns spam.org now.

The worst thing about spam isn't that you can't block it (that's easy to do), it's that more and more internet traffic is spam.  This doesn't affect the end users too much, but it hurts companies (which will eventually charge higher prices). I think someone said nearly 15% of all internet traffic is spam now.  That's a lot of wasted bandwidth, and it's bandwidth directed only at email servers, so from an email server's point of view, it might have 40% wasted packets.  bleh.
