Hive! I summon thee! Come forth!

What exactly is this game of life thing, and whereabouts might I find it?

Hereabouts:

Oh, and I found a solution for my first personal computer "problem" there - A way to create the Game of Life which I learned about from a Piers Anthony (IIRC) book...

I also hate it when they do that. I remember the first time ST:TNG did that when the BORG with the Borg captured Picard. But then, that was before the writers of Star Trek decided that the Borg were to be used as "ratings grabbers."

Personally, I find what sucks even more are mid-season "finales" with cliff-hangers with a 6 month break between the two shows! Battlestar Galactica, I am looking at you!

I never tried it without the aid of a computer.

One doesn't get far without them, either.

expands incredibly fast and after maybe a dozen or so steps the paper gets a little to small.

What's with all this Dwelfish spam on these boards?

There's been a lot of Spam recently in the off-topic forum, I've noticed, for some weird reason. Seemed like it used to be mainly in the Meta, but apparently it's spreading...like a DISEASE!

I envy you. I couldn't fall asleep yesterday. It was way to warm, and if I opened the windows, I could hear the neighbors having their party.
Not really loud, but still loud enough to wake me from the few light sleep moments.
I left the window open and eventually used some ear plugs (that I still have from my time in my military! Eeek!), though I woke up again (when it was silent) and put them out...
I think I slept around 1:30 or 2 in the morning, and woke up again at 7:00...

You have a particle accelerator?

Nah. I don't need one...

And on to the next topic (or back to an old one): I realized I had to change the name of one culture in my homebrew. These people were called "She". When writing the stuff down in english it started sounding confusing. Luckily I hadn't even gotten to portion where I'd describe a female "She". She's a She . I decided to add another e to the name of the nation and the people. So now it's "Shee". Hopefully it's a little less confusing

A super collider then?
