Will starship troopers game play on windows 7?
Im glad to say I have found out you can get this game to work on vista by edditing some setting files of the game. 1. Open the "global.settings" file found in My Documents\Empire Interactive\SST\Settings (assuming first you have the game installed) by copying and pasting 'Empire Interactive\SST\Settings' into the search tool that comes up when you click the windows start button on your tool bar. 2. scroll down to you see a section called other which looks like this :- Other:
{
InstalledLanguage: { "0" }
ShadowDependencies: { "1" }
ForcedFSAA: { "0" }
Glow: { "1" }
GlowTrail: { "1" }
GlobalGlow: { "0" }
ParticleGlow: { "0" }
Distort: { "1" }
Compile: { "0" }
DisplayTimer: { "0" }
HUD: { "1" } 3. change the Glow, Glow tral & Distort values to 0 (zero) and then save this new (edited) file. 4. Restart the game and it should now be playable although the display will still white out every time you take a hit (damage) in game for a brief moment.
In which countries do the super troopers operate for service?
The super troopers operate in the United States only. They are a group of Vermont State Troopers who actually do more joking around than controlling the law.

What are the major land groups in the land called?
The major land groups are mountains, plateaus, plains, and valleys. Each group has distinct characteristics and features that shape the landscape and influence activities such as agriculture, settlement patterns, and transportation.
Can Heinlein's concept of speedtalk be a real language?
If we picture a subset of super-geniuses who can memorize 800 sound/letter symbols like Heinlein thought, or more like 8,000 sound/letter symbols as others think, then maybe.
But I'd not bet on it.
The third thing Robert A. Heinlein mentioned is "the secret ingredient" which adds a unique twist or element to the story. This could be an innovative concept, a new technology, or a societal change that forms the core of the science fiction narrative.
Who is Carmen Ibanez in Starship Troopers?

What are all the clone troopers?
Clone Troopers are fictional characters from the movie, comics, and books of, or based on the Star Wars Science-fiction movie series created by George Lucas. They are all identical genetic clones of a selected specimen representative of the race institutionally raised, developed, and nurtured, for certain behavioral, physical traits, and to be subservient. As they are identical, this makes them easier to control. Yet, this may also be considered to be a design flaw, as they are also very predictable. In the Star Wars world they are considered expendable, little more than pawns and cannon-fodder. There is an underlying morale question as to whether these entities have souls.
In the Star Wars epics, the Clone Troopers assisted the Galactic Republic, in the battle against the Separatist droid army (CIS). But, later betrayed the Jedi council, when Order 66 was passed to all clone troops in the galaxy by the evil Sith Lord Chancellor Palpatine. The clone commanders or captains are the clones that lead the clone troops into battle on different planets. The colors displayed on their armor don't indicate their ranking, designate their assigned leader/commander/general, or yet may indicate the environment where they will be deployed for duty. Examples:
Green= 41st elite corps
blue=senate guard
Yellow=327th star corps
blue=501st legion
orange=212th battalion
purple=187th legion
bluish green=141st legion
Clone Trooper armor styles and shapes indicate their assigned specialty/function, but may also reflect environmental practicalities, such as camouflage Imperial pilots wear Black armor to blend in with the dark cockpit of a tie fighter and to honor there template that there batch came from. A distinctively different armor would be the standard White and Black armor with flexible joints of a Storm Trooper for better versatility in combat. Red, full-body, armor with lesser joint flexibility and capes are worn by the Imperial Guard. All Clone Trooper armor is constructed of laser reflective fibers to help deflect laser and blaster damage, and internally padded to provide some concussive damage protection. Yet, it is very ineffective from more primative projectile weaponry, crushing blow, and shraphnel-type damage. Most have their own built in communication devices, gas-masks and air filtration systems, and back mounted power-packs to operate these and other modifications/options such as heating or cooling systems.
Clone troopers came from Kamino(all clone troopers came from here first
to the clone wars). The first clones came from jango fett as there template, the later ones were picked from ace pilots that volunteered while the Clone wars was in motion.
On Kamino Lama Su was the main supervisor for clone exports at Kamino.
When the ice melted on Kamino they had to ajust to the climate by slective breading
and cloning. They have to trade there cloning skills for raw recourses
The source Jango Fett by the time of his death at the hand of Mace Windu
He was conceded the best bounty hunter in the galaxy He had a son Boba Fett which is actually a unmodified clone of his self.
Clone troopers come in alot of different units from deepsea trooper to the normal clone trooper(the one you see on the gound fighting all the time).
Most clone troopers go by their "manufacture code", an alpha-numerical two-letter batch number followed by a four-digit serial number. This is the tracking ID assigned to them upon creation on the planet Kamino, and is used in lieu of a name. Clone commanders and officers are assigned nicknames based on that same alpha-numerical combination. Examples; Cody, Gree, Bacara, Neyo, Bly, Appo, Deviss, Rex, Fox would be used for names from batch codes; CDI (or CDY), GRE, NEO, BLI (or BLY), APO ,Des, Rex, Fox.
One of the Storm Troopers whose serial number comes up in the first movie released; Star Wars IV: A New Hope was "THX-1138", which was the title of an early Orwellian style George Lucas movie released in 1971.
Some of the Clone Troopers mentioned by name in the series include; Commander Fox and Captain Rex.
In When a Stranger Calls who is the stranger to Jill?
Answer
They don't ever say who it is. At the end it says that the stranger's name is still a mystery.
Answer
That's only in the 2006 remake. The original When a Stranger Calls (1979) gives a very detailed portrait of the killer. We see his face, we learn his name, and we follow his character around for about half of the film. The viewer gets to know the killer very intimately.
In the original When a Stranger Calls, the killer is a total stranger to Jill.
Can you clone a Clone Trooper?
no there just cant jango fett was a guy and the clones are clones of him so they would be like him duh this was way back in the long long time ago era so no one cared about a fetus they just created clones but if there did happen to be a female clone they wouldn't use her because she would be structuarly imbalenced because she is supposed to be a guy. So there
Female Jango clone: (answer improvement / correction)
Sure there could be a female Jango clone. Male genome is XY. Female genome is XX. If you wanted to make a female clone of Jango Fett there are a couple of ways you could do it.
First of all - basic cloning 101 - You take a cell that has all it's organelles, remove the nucleus that has the DNA and replace it with the DNA of your clone. Than you incubate this cell into an organism. Dolly the sheep was incubated in the womb of another sheep. Wa-la, a clone. I don't know if they used stem cells, gamete cells, skin cells or some other bodily cell to create Dolly.
So if the Kaminoans wanted to create a female Jango clone; all they'd have to do is separate the X from the Y, double copy the X (so the clone was XX instead of XY), implant this DNA in a host cell and bam - you have a female Jango clone.
The other way they could do it is use gamete cells. Than they wouldn't have to segregate the DNA. It would be easier. Take a donor egg cell; replace the nucleus with the DNA from an X sperm cell and fertilize that egg with another X sperm. Wa-la - female Jango clone. The only difference would be the cell organelles would have the messenger RNA of the female donor. If a female relative of Jango Fett was used as a egg donor - there wouldn't be a problem since we all get our messenger RNA from our mothers anyways.
Now if there was some genetic defect in Jango's X chromosome; it would show up in the female clone too. But than again if there was a defect in the X, it would also be present in the male clones since they only have one X.
So there you go - yes - you could have a female Jango clone trooper.
You can make female clones out of male hosts; you just couldn't go the other way - saving an act of God that is!
