nope

I have no interest in speculative info or stuff you already know.
Here is another clue:

' 11'

You're going to have to give a decent clue, it could be anything. StarCitizen is 11. "Squadron Forty Two" is a string 18 characters in length, the same length as your original group of numbers. If I can make anything fit, nothing fits, so why bother?

I dunno, man. For all the stupid crap that gets dropped in thread, the ongoing weekly research is pretty useful sometimes. Breaking down the revelations of AtV and RtV sometimes produces gold, and if not gold, some solid comedy. We need a dumping ground for things like coffee machine photos and wall murals and for good official soundbites and all the rest.

Imperfect as the thread is during a down cycle, it still serves that useful purpose.

For sure. It's hopeless. Chris I believe knows this (I edited by most above to include mention of that Bar Citizen thing he said).

We saw Foundry in a recent AtV say it was on hold officially, too. Like they need more stuff on their plate!

I just wish Chris would come out and admit the obvious. But as always, he assumes with enough money and time he can do all things, and will. And he'll keep thinking that right up until the money and time run out.

they only need to deliver Oculos Rift support for the hangar module

and I guess they will only do that nothing more lol

They always do.

This is why it was good to have Doob and Dayz in the GBS SC thread. When one went quiet another would gently caress up or sometimes they would all gently caress up at the same and it was glorious. :rip:

Pay attention:

Sending encrypted email has NOTHING to do with PGP as per my above comment.

You can send email that's encrypted - in transit. When it lands in the other person's inbox, it's in plaintext

And the point of my PGP comment is that BOTH you and the person, MUST be using PGP for it to be secure. And if the person doesn't use PGP, or know how to, then you have a problem. Hence the reason that I pointed out the other ways to send private comms without requiring the other person to know ANYTHING about HOW to do it.

You're pretty condescending for a guy that can't figure out how to connect a microphone to his computer.

Didn't they have Oculus support in the Hangar module for a while? They don't even need to do anything more if that's the case.

You're right, and honestly it looks like they probably knew that from the start. The irony is that VR Hangar's will just make it all worse. They'd give the backers a fleeting glimpse of the full scale VR majesty of their megawhale chariots. They'll be able to walk around them, inside them, but never fly them in VR. It will always come down to that moment where they have to take off the headset, un-immerse themselves in the universe, and realize they're back at their desks, looking at the game on their monitor.

What a perfectly dreadful compromise...

I'll maintain my composure. Though the difficulty in maintaining a running dialogue concerning the day to day absurdities is becoming grating in the face of repeated soapboxing.

Yes, pretty much. They can subpoena web forum postings. Not that it would do them any good, because it would be virtually impossible to connect user names to IP addresses.

The biggest flaw is that, anyone buying avatars here on SA, would need to use a credit card, PayPal etc. That can be tied to a web forum account and the original owner can be uncovered easily. A gift card makes it a bit harder, but unless you paid cash for the gift card, it can be traced to a person.

The other thing is that they can't issue a subpoena without an active lawsuit. So they'd have to sue someone (even a bunch of John Doe) in order to get that from a judge. They simply cannot issue a blanket subpoena without providing some info as to who/what they're searching for. Only the US govt. can do that when they issue such subpoenas for IP address info etc.

Which is precisely why I always tell sources, if you're going to post about anything online, use a browser proxy, Tor etc, don't buy anything etc. And use something like Lockbin.com, privnote.com or noteshred.com to pass along throw-away sensitive data.

And, no, you shouldn't be using email encrypted comms because as long as it is stored, it can be cracked. Plus, you can't rely on the other party to have an end-point (e.g. PGP) key.

In case it wasn't obvious, deleted text messages on every phone can be recovered by every digital forensics team on the planet. If the judge grants a subpoena, or you turn over your devices willingly (you'd be a loving idiot to do that, knowing how DIFFICULT it is for a judge to grant them such a subpoena without cause) - and you have incriminating stuff on it and which rises to the level of a breach of your work NDA; you're hosed.

Important note:

- saying your boss is a loving moron isn't an NDA breach. it's free speech opinion. you're in the clear.

- saying your boss is ripping off the company isn't an NDA breach. it's defamation. you're hosed if it's false.

- saying that the work being done on the game is hosed, is a breach of an NDA. you're hosed either way since it's related to work.

First rule of spycraft. Trust no-one. Not even the person you're giving stuff to; unless you really trust them, or you trust someone who vouches for, and trusts them.

e.g. I gave this Star Citizen story to various media (contrary to Spergs belief, The Escapist was not one of them) outlets, all but two opted to bury the story. Then they came calling when The Escapist story hit. I ignored them. And when this poo poo-show finally explodes, I'm going to be naming names, dates, details etc. I'm going to loving burn all of them to the ground for being complicit. I have it on good authority that at least one writer for a major gaming outlet, revealed one of my sources to RSI/CIG. Funny thing is, I found out from another source inside RSI/CIG.

I used Countermail back when I bought drugs for bitcoins

Their servers run on optical discs, all the dealers used it
