Note that the retention is based on your news server (and program! some programs
can keep messages for as long as you want), not the newsgroup in general.
Generally speaking people who are very interested in getting reliable newsgroups
pay for a "real" news server and don't use the one their ISPs come with (I have
a buddy who subscribes; myself, I find I don't need it).

There are two ending movies for GDI in Tiberian Dawn. If you blow up the temple
using anything except the Ion Cannon, we see Kane walk away from the command
centre and be crushed by rubble. If you deliver the final blow using the Ion
Cannon (you will have to weaken the Temple using tanks first as the Ion Cannon
is not sufficient to take the temple down when it's at full health) then we see
Kane in the burnt-out rubble of the Temple, looking up into the sky and
stretching out his arms as the Ion Cannon blast comes down and blows everything
away. Also, the Hot News Chick at the end mentions that using the Ion Cannon
saved much time and many GDI soldier lives.

well, i dont know about the other day, but here is my answer from Feb 2000.:

 The movie at the end of GDI15, where Kane is in his Temple of NOD, his two
minions are reviewing the last vestiges of Kane's crumbling empire....one
thinks discretion is the better part of valor... and the other helps him
reach a higher plane of being (what are friends for, hehehe) ...then Kane
walks away....

from there there are two possible endings...depending on how you destroyed
the Temple of NOD in the game:

1)took out the Temple with conventional weapons, you get the Temple debris
falling on Kane

2)took out the Temple as the LAST unit of NOD left, and weakened it to
almost dead (the health line showed slim red line)...and then ION CANNON'ed
it to death....then you see Kane walk away, into another room, and welcome
the Angel of Death with open arms...WAY COOL

best to do: save the game towards the end, and then end it one way and go
back and end it the other way

I do have it saved, but in the DOS version, not Win95. sorry.
