Wonder how Yahoo shareholders are going to feel when the reality of a $20 stock heading to $15 hits them. I love this "undervalued" talk - you are worth what everyone agrees you're worth, and that's < $20.
I think WB is going to use the same 3D compositing system that Aero uses, so I'd expect similar power usage. On a side note, my over 2 1/2 years old P4 3.2GHz, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon X800 Pro runs Vista just fine. The X800 and the installation hard drive was added to the system after it was built, mind you.

I thought the EU was complaining about the server documentation at this point. I think the problem is they've been required to produce thousands of pages of technical documentation. It probably takes good peoplea and isn't easy or much fun - would those capable want to do this kind of job?
Windowblinds, Firefox, Rainmeter. Note on Firefox: icons for the various extensions is always a problem with skins - it would be nice if a skin provided a selection of skin-matching icons for various extensions, if that's possible.
I have a similar problem on my work machine, running XP Pro, although I'm not running Panda. I disabled most everything that I thought could be affecting things, including Sophos Anti-virus. There's junk, like the SafeDisc driver and various other protection schemes, that I don't want to mess with. But this machine is pretty clean, overall. When I enable WB by selecting a skin, the system metrics (eg. Taskbar size, fonts) change, but no s
A few people might run the hacked MacOS, but really, it isn't going to be an option for most of Apple's customers, is it? I would hope the reason for owning a Mac is that it works out of the box and stays working because of the tight control over hardware and because the user feels the OS is better than alternatives. If people only buy a Mac so that they can feel superior, then I guess there might be problems. But Mac users aren't that shallow, are

Salvador, I agree that Servant Salamander is fantastic (I think I found it after a post you made in an SD newsgroup - thanks), but it shows only generic directory icons for me, not the icons set by IconPackager. Any thoughts on how to get the IP icons (I'm using 2.5 B5a, but 2.0 does the same)?
I installed this program at home - no problems. I haven't installed it at work, but I did just look at the wallpapers under display properties and I noticed more than I expected there - apparently everything I have in My Pictures and its subdirectories is in the list. Furthermore, this path: "REG:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpaper\MRU" in the registry has entries with binary data, with what looks like Unicode text embedded containing the nam
Hmm, I think most of the Q&A is wrong. Here is an example, this from the SSA's history at http://www.ssa.gov/history/briefhistory3.html: The 1983 Amendments In the early 1980s the Social Security program faced a serious short-term financing crisis. President Reagan appointed a blue-ribbon panel, known as the Greenspan Commission, to study the financing issues and make recommendations for legislative changes. The final bill, signed i
I'd like to see a sample mockup.
I wanted to chime in to agree with some of the sentiments expressed, especially by Sirian (a couple of weeks ago now). MOO2 was a big disappointment to me because it replaced gameplay with the appearance of gameplay. Even more disappointing is the way many people seem to prefer that. As has been said, MOO1 abstracted a lot and features that IMHO have yet to be bettered: the tech system, ship design and space battles. The ship design and space battles complemented each other w
His point is that risk affects the decisions we make. When liability is limited, we choose riskier behavior than we would otherwise have. Corporations have limited liability, in that their owners and employees are usually not held fully liable for the actions of the corporation. For example, a manager decides to sell an unsafe product. Now consider what happens when this situation is discovered. With no limited liability, the manager goes
I have a Dell 18" at work, with a 128 MB GeForce Ti4200 using the DVI connector. Dell has their monitors manufactured by other people, so the different models are not necessarily comparable. Mine is made by LG (the former Lucky-Goldstar in S. Korea). It has 1280x1024 pixels. The 19" has the same number of pixels, as far as I know. The Dell 20" has a 1600x1200 screen. I've run GalCiv v1.1 full screen on the 18" (just for a few minutes - I haven't played it at work in a while). If t
New forms of business always add jobs - the great example is the auto industry (admin, design, manufacturing, sales, service, accessories, roads, gasoline, lubricants, steel, plastics, traffic cops and on). But what happens when the jobs that the industry creates require intellectual capabilities that are beyond half the population?
COZ: A) Yep, and I find it unlikely that we'll sail through every roadblock unabated. Some things DO have limits (like the speed of light, 100M sprint time etc.). B) I'm not sure we can create a new form of life, as such. AI doesn't necessarily equal life. Do you think a machine would "enjoy" time at the beach? What if we could do it (make machines like us) - all we should do is not do it (ie. limit them to what makes them useful to us). C) That assumes that democr
Thank you. Took care of that. Well, I'd heard of them back when I saw GalCiv on OS/2. I got Entrepreneur back when it came out and I recently got OD too. I love the way these guys interact with their customers. Just to put this kind of spending in perspective, though, the wooden lattice to stop our new dog (Cairn Terrier, next Saturday) from getting under the deck on the back of the house cost $91.
I've seen some talk of a $20 upgrade from retail GalCiv to Drengin.net. There's supposed to be a coupon, or something. I didn't get anything looking like a coupon in the box. Anyone know what the scoop is here?
1. Stop auto-pilot ships if an enemy appears in sensor range. 2. Remember other races starbases. If they're destroyed, remember them until one of our ships gets in sensor range and sees that it is gone. 3. Lockable sliders. 4. Drop down or list boxes for sorting planet list and other lists like that. 5. No wasted resources. They could at least roll over to the next project. 6. Auto-scouting. Allow us to find all our ships that have automatically se
Starbases: There should probably be some maintenance fee, although certain modules may be self-supporting (ie. no maintenance) and others could even return an amount to offset the maintenance. I don't like artificial limits, but natural limits would arise as long as stacking is limited to things that provide diminishing returns (see below). Production: How about this. Separate capacity and efficiency. Capacity would be in units, with a maintenance cost.

I don't think it's practical to have a system without money. Money is just a way to represent resources in an abstract way. Consider: the enlightened civ has a war department, an agriculture department, a mining department and 30 people. You could allocate people to departments, say 10 to each. But how do you manage the war and agriculture department's acquisition of raw materials from the mining department? Why, you give them money, so that the mining department doesn't have to be

I've been able to get MOO running on XP Pro, but MOO seems to truncate the CONFIG.MOO file to 0 bytes when exiting. I restore it from a copy, but I can't ever load any save games - perhaps because of the config file issue. I can continue, and I guess I could copy any of my save games to SAV7.GAM. Any ideas?
