I wrote it into a corner a long time ago and couldn't figure out how to write it out.

How'd you get out of the closet? I thought I'd put you in particular in a straight jacket first...

heh well I have to say it's freaking annoying, and pretty much zip from Blizzard about it.. Edit: so been in que for close to 2 hours just to log into wow, and sitting at 948 in line.. Sigh.. Your PC is important to us. Please wait while we murder the PCs in front of you to allow you onto the altar...

Nah, he's talking World of Warcraft. Which apparently has/had locked servers due to a massive ddos.

Probably instigated by someone on the boards here because they wanted more Fel stories.

Welcome back. There's been some discussions here where you have been sorely missed What was missed? My wisdom? My wit? My general snarkiness? *snort* MD All three, plus there were several instances where spoon therapy should have been applied but you weren't there to apply it. I'd check the closet ...

Holy #@$!, she's back. WELCOME BACK!

Happy belated birthday Fel. (And myself! )

Honestly, this last chapter just answered for me what the Parri actually are. They are the seeds of the oye trees. Or the larval stage, however you want to put it. Interesting in terms that the trees lives aren't propagated by the final form of the lifeform, but the second stage. Likely only Shaman ...

This tactic was used in the first Consortium ambush. Kimdori towed asteroids behind them at very high speed then "bowled" them into the Consortium wave formations. Low tech does not mean ineffective. ;) I did remember that, but was too dang lazy to go back through the whole series to look...

Currently, no, the jack probably can't. However it wouldn't take much to make a few adjustments to the jack to where it could do so. The jack only cuts off senses in hyperspace if an interface is plugged into it. One good hack of an interface, and you could turn off senses ANYTIME an interface is pl...

The interface forces the merge, yes, but the jack is what is cutting off the physical sensations. The limiter is not to prevent the block of natural senses. The limiter is designed to mute the 'simsense' information to where it doesn't overwhelm the natural senses. What the sailor did was disable th...

Correct. The gestalt is communed with, while the jacks can physically stop the overloaded nerve signals from hitting the right parts of the brain.

Which is a big portion of why I think the jacks could become a control mechanism, even if they aren't now.

So when the Jack reads artificial sensory data it overrides the natural sensory data, so they added the limiter to prevent this. But now in hyperspace the artifical data completely overrides all other sensory data. This doesnt work for Generations because artifical sensory data for them is an exten...

You know, I nodded along with simsense because it was augmenting natural senses. However, I thought the jacks were supposed to not be able to control people? Being able to, nearly at will, strike someone blind, deaf, and insensate is a very good control mechanism for anyone without talent. The only ...

One major problem that the dragons haven't thought of is if the video conference connection gets hacked during a Draconic lesson. The Chinese could learn their draconic on the sly that way.
