I thought this was a spirited argument about decoupage.....
now I gotta deal with the difference between u238 and u235 and how the half-life works.............

Not today.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what half life means?

It's a physics term. It's the length of time that a radioactive element takes to lose half of its radioactive output.

Since the process is a halving, an element may be dangerous for a number of half-lives

It's not just used in physics. It's used for any atomic item. It is quite popular in the world of medicine for instance, where it is very important to know what the half life is of a pharmaceutical once it enters the human body.

But yeah.

Very good.

You asked a question when you knew the answer?

And you say OTHER PEOPLE should get a life?

Great. I love learning new things. I was aware of LD50 (lethal dose 50%) but not that one

A later version for home computers was called Adventure. CC was played on a 110 baud teletype, display screens not having been advented yet. You gave directions to your character ("go north" "pick up key") and the computer responded.

Oh, I'm more dated than you realize my first computer was an Altair (eight switches and an "enter" button) and my first nipple clips were trilbites... live ones.

I had CC for a very very very old PC.

It rocked. Hard.

And I -always- got stuck after less than 10 minutes. Wish I could find a place to try it again ;)

You are in a maze of twisty turny passages all alike

I wish I could find a copy for you. For a while there was one at http://plugh.xyzzy.net/xyzzy.html but that's going. Even the domain is gone.

OMG ! I played lots of B&W and 4 colours games, including Ultima5 and SpaceInvaders, but you guys make me feel like I'm watching the BBC program about dinosaurs again !

edit : It's not even in http://www.abandonwarering.com/ . Did computers exist when you played this game ?

I _AM_ a dinosaur! Didn't we just have the discussion about people not wanting to play with [trying to remember "creepy, old farts" wasn't it].

Fortunately for me, a certain amount of skill makes up for the loss of a bit of hair in back in the eyes of some delightful people.

again... It's here.

BUT :
-You'll need a floppy disk drive
-You need a FAT32 file system.
-You might be disappointed. I played Ultima5 a few years ago (about 12 years after I finished it), I was disappointed. It's like fantasies, some things are best kept in your mind.

Sir, i agree with You about the spelling and grammar police, but You must admit Lam has contributed much to the boards...especially esoteric facts. It saddens me to see the two of You at each other. i respect both of You.

I liked playing Pitfall on the Apple II. I played that for hours. I was big into writing My own game for the Commodore Pet for a long time, but I never finished it. It impressed the hell out of our teacher though.
