Impenetrable wall of text

[Isolder74]

so if the Enterprise's power is 3.6 Gb and the slave 1's is 3000 (at least) that how come the planets don't explode. The firepower would be big enough that if a blow that missed and hit a planet will drill a hole to the planet's core and detonate all the magma

So, if 3000 Gigabits can blow up a planet, then... oh no... There's enough memory in my house to blow up the Ocean!

Ha, I laugh at that. The memory in my iMac is enough to blow up the sun itself!

Don't give Blue Laser any ideas! lol!

[Master_Baerne]

Maybe when he said "detonate the magma" he was actually talking about NDF but just used the wrong terminology.

"There comes a time in every person's life when he has to suck it up and say, "Yes, there really are people that stupid."

[Cao Cao]

People who think that magma detonates are probably the same kind of people who think Alderaan was an unstable bomb-planet that the Death Star prodded to make it go boom.

If the Star Destroyers are that strong, them why do ships that are pretty damn small even dare to go against multiple miniships vs multiple super big ship.

Fighters don't. Not with out their own multiple big-ships backing them up.

Maybe he's referring to ANH, where the Rebel Alliance was up against something a wee bit bigger than a Stardestroyer. Attacking with fighers only was obviously a desparate gamble. And from the looks on their faces, they knew their chances of success were pretty slim, but they had no other option open to them.

And then 2 hours later. . .

Oh, well stated! You've been here less than a month with 45 posts in that time. . .2 of which I've quoted above in their entirety. What an auspicious beginning!

Indeed. When odds of victory are so slim that the enemy's commander selects the strategy of, "Sit in my comfy chair and have coffee" - you know things are just not going well.

Not to mention the fighter pilots themselves said it was impossible. Luke being an overconfident puke nonwithstanding.
It was either send the fighters or run around like headless chickens waiting to get blown up. And a grand total of 3 fighters made it out alive.

... and we all know Luke cheated.

Hey, I said what needed to be said. Unfortunately I couldn't get through that atrocity of text without my eyes bleeding.

Hey, I said what needed to be said. Unfortunately I couldn't get through that atrocity of text without my eyes bleeding.

Nevertheless saying so once would probably have sufficed. Not that I disagree, but since you made me finally actually read that drivel I'm afraid I don't feel much sympathy. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Of course, if 3000Gb is enough to blow up a planet that would explain why people believe that the US and USSR had the means to destroy Earth several times over...
And while I usually don't get involved in the vs debate outside this board I third the petition to release this guy's address. The 'sufficient computer memory kills planets' bit alone demands a reply already.

[Darth Wong]

He gave what I'm guessing is a totally bogus E-mail address: gostarwars@hotmail.com

Probably, but at least it gives us an avenue to try. And congratulations on your 50,000th post.

[Stark]

Wow you're right, Mike is OVER FIFTY THOUSAND.

Just confirmed the address is bogus with an undeliverable MAILER-DAEMON.

So how are we going to celebrate Mike getting to 50K? Please, not spamworld again. Its getting old.

A really fuck-off massive cake with 50,000 candles?
You'd need to employ one of the HAB's secret inventions to get that lot lit at once, but I imagine they'd appreciate the excuse to demonstrate the power and precision of the latest version of the "Man-portable City Bar-B-Quer 3000".

[Noble Ire]

For some reason, I found the line "You're probably not going to post this up are you" inserted between a bit about the "Jedi HQ" and the kernel of wisdom on the necessity of inertial dampners to be the most amusing part of the message. I really have to wonder about the thought processes of someone who writes a piece like this one. Did he read the message back to himself before sending it and think "By jove, what whit!" or something? From the last line, he seems fairly confident that he has Darth Wong on the ropes.

Personally, I think they might be more appreciative of the opportunity to put the candles on the cake first, using one of Einy's railguns or a tank's main gun to fire them in buckshot lots.

However, the cake need not be all that big; assuming for a 1/8in diameter candle, with zero spacing between the candles, and a circular cake, then the cake need only be ~28in in radius, or approximately 5 feet/1.524m across. Not so large. Of course, if we grant for a half inch diameter circle for each candle, large enough for people to put candles in by hand, it grows to 18feet/5.48m across. Perhaps HAB can aid with the delivery as well as the ignition.

Math: Ratio of the areas of two similar circles is pi*r1^2 / pi*r2^2 = x, where x is the ratio. Assuming x = 50K candles per cake, r1 = radius of cake, and r2 = radius of space occupied by candle, then r1 = sqrt(r2^2*50K). I think that's correct, though I could easily be incorrect and this formula does not assume for more efficient packing methods.

And what whit he has! I found his discourse a revelation, a mastery of art that has illuminated the next few steps on this long path towards ascension past the puny limitations of man. He, sir, is a god and I request you treat him as such!

In respect to the cake, maybe we could apply the candles in gross lots, with one candle respresenting 144 posts. Aw, but that would remove the fun of using extravagent means to blow the candles out. What was I thinking? To the wind tunnel, gentlemen!

That may be large enough for all of the candles, but there also needs to be enough cake for everyone attending the party.

Good point, we also want to feed the guests. If my figures are correct, there are ~4000 members on this board, so if we assume for the larger cake being cut into 4000 pieces, each piece will be ~9.8in^2, or 63cm^2. Not especially large, but not something to sneeze at either. I may be off in the number of pieces, but between some people not coming and some people wanting seconds, it should balance out to around 4000 pieces of cake. I'm confident that an 18foot cake could feed everyone who comes to the party.

The impenetrable wall of text looks almost like something I might write for the sole purpose of bullshitting. When was in 8th grade, I had a science teacher that made us write big long paragraphs for some the problems in the book, and then discovered that he didn't read our answers, just looked at it, and if it looked like it was long enough, went ahead and signed off on that. As a result, I would write a few lines of nonsense, although I usually felt the need to amuse myself in the process, so it was usually funny.

If you're planning to bake a cake, allow me to share a little bit of baking wisdom. If you're using pre-packaged cake mix, or making it from scratch, substitute about 1/3 of the water in the recipe for whiskey. The cake will come out a lot richer, but when it comes out of the oven, it will also come out FLAT. Great if you're planning to make a layer cake.

Anyone got some Whyren's Reserve? 'Cuz I'm making ryshcake!

[Ritterin Sophia]

Guys, can we make it Ice Cream Cake? I'm sure Wong loves Ice Cream Cake, it's scientifically impossible to combine Ice Cream and Cake and not get 'Win'.

If we were dealing with Admiral Kanos, the cake would need to be a world.

Of course for DW, I recomend a Star Destroyer Cake. Life size....well ok, 1/16th life size.

How about a replica Death Star cake with a working superlaser that shoots beer?
