[quote]Internally Stardock does have what we call template PCs which we demonstrate to OEMs th show what is possible with Windows.[/quote] If I recall, you got your start building computers in your dorm for faculty.

[quote] The interesting part is the fact that baltar says after six says god, "it doesn't like being called that." [/quote] I suspect he might have been making a joke about his penis. I need to watch that scene again, but I think "Six" is looking down when she says "god" causing "Baltar" to make a joke alluding to her thinking his male anaotomy is a god.

Yes, you definately want to buy sometime and make friends. Give them some small worlds maybe some money to buy peace. Then develop some fast lightly armed ships, it does not matter what weapon you use, but have at least one and a few engines. Use these to intercept unprotected transport fleets incase war breaks out again. If war does not break out, simply start building up your main assault fleet again.
What, did you get thrown off the Taleworlds.com boards for asking the same question? Geesh, they let you play the game as much as you want for free up to level 6. They are being very generous with the demo version and the fact that whatever you pay for the beta, you will get the full version at no additional cost. Don't be greedy, buy it and support the developers hard work. The game is only $18.00, if you can not afford that, you have no business playing games. I do not think S
