I run SMAC on my Mac (hah!) using Wineskin. I'm running the GOG.com version.

The only issue I have is with mouse support in the newer engines - try 1.3.12 or older to get around it.

Exactly! Games CAN be art, but they don't HAVE to be. They just need to be fun.

This would be the Data Breach Investigations Report.

Basic economics would dictate that with supply being signicantly lower in 2010 than in 2008 (less data available on the black market), the demand for said data has gone up.

What I'd do for a mod point... Unity's shift towards searching for applications rather than navigating menus for them is it's biggest draw for me.

I work a similar way in OSX, except it's the SUPER + Spacebar keys to bring up Spotlight.

Yes, I too think this one suspect and his accomplice... no, two guys and their-- three men will be promptly released. Wait, I'm going to come in again.

It doesn't have to be a race. We can put it off for a couple hundred years, maybe tool around here on Earth a while longer.

But then when we decide we want to go up and the Chinese say "no I don't think so" while pointing their space lasers at us, it might be a bit hard to get there.

Kennedy said it best at Rice - "Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. ... There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again."

If we're to have a space overlord, I'd rather it be of the United States/Europe/Japan variety than the China variety.

I'm no rocket scientist, but I'm pretty sure that while current rockets were based on Nazi rockets, they're not even comparable anymore. Original research based upon older research was done to come where we are today.

It'd be a bit like saying all antibiotics should be stamped with the Scottish flag.

I don't recall any solid rocket space launches in Chinese mythology/ancient history either. </smug>

Those who infringe on copyright (or what we call Intellectual Property these days) have been called pirates since the 1700's. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pirate

You missed out where he says the code is for that specific transaction and not for any other transactions.

For those into Games Workshop's universes, the Black Library's ebooks are DRM-free ePub format. The only restriction is the amount of times you can download them.

Because they're not designed for long-term stays... in spaaaaaaace! (fuel cells, leaky atmosphere etc.).

Forgive my ignorance when it comes to IE, but hasn't IE had a "Compatibility View" since IE7, to maintain backwards-compatibility with apps like these?

Anyone have experience with it? Does it work as advertised?

Thanks! I noticed Esperanto in there and couldn't resist a Red Dwarf translation.

"Via patrino elspezis plejparto de ia tempo supre kontra muroj kun maristoj."

IIRC, the local PR officer initially told the papers a flying disc had crashed and been recovered. Then a day or so later a higher-up said it wasn't a disc but a weather balloon. I would assume the consipracy theories would have started around then.

You have to open the /Applications folder in Finder (instead of from the dock), but you can drag it into the trash with an admin password. Same with the rest of the iLife apps.
