How does you even get morale that high? I mean he only get +4 from experience and he started with 15-20? Is his heroic ability heroic valor or heroic stupidity?

Re: The bravest man alive
 

It's valor. You can see a standard.

Which command line switches are the right ones for this?

What does it do exactly?

I am playing on a Linux box, but I also have to click the hearts.

Re: The bravest man alive
 

Well, I don't actually use a Linux box, so I'm not familiar with their eerie powers, but do you have up-to-date drivers for your telepathy hardware? It relies on a bluetooth connection to the receptor you should have had inserted behind your ear when you were visited by The Great Penguin, and the latest drivers are much more stable than previous versions.

PS - been to Ulm. Nice cathedral.

Re: The bravest man alive
 

Actually, I do use Telepathy (a communications framework), and it does (indirectly) work well with my Plantronics Bluetooth Headpiece already. It all makes sense to me, so I don't think this is a Linux driver issue. :penguin: I think the interface of Dom3 is to blame here, but this has been a long-standing issue - a well-known problem (don't get me started, there would be so many real simple tweaks to improve the GUI by a lot).

:doh: Ok, you were joking. Got it now; although I still don't get the original joke. :confused: Thanks for clarifying it anyway, for otherwise I would have kept wondering about it. :)

I've never been in Ulm, except for riding through it on a train once or twice. 200km is actually a fairly long distance, although I am travelling 400km twice a week. Incidentally, my travel both starts and ends within 200km of Ulm. Weird, isn't it?

Assuming you mean:

I think Starbelly was being ironic from the start :) Linux or not (despite its mysticism), you're gonna have to click...

I grew up on Unix. For those who know, Kernighan & Ritchie wre clearly divine beings. Never used Linux.

Do you all recall the greatest moment for Unix in cinema history? I keep thinking it's from WarGames, but I think I'm wrong. The person goes "OMG it's a UNIX machine" but they can still crack it, doubtless with typing a lot of "ls -l"s ? Anyone??

Re: The bravest man alive
 

There's a line in Jurassic Park where the little girl sits down at the Macintosh computer and says "It's a Unix system. I know this!" and proceeds to use the strangest GUI ever to interact with the security system.
At least the interfaces and games in Wargames vaguely resembled what they claimed to be.

Re: The bravest man alive
 

You're a hero, StarBelly, I'm sure you're right, will look it up in a mo'...! :)

Re: The bravest man alive
 

Yes indeedy :D:

And as I recall, the scene goes on to: she has to arcade-navigate the on-screen UNIX-file-system in order to get to a file... Eat your hearts out, Linux-ers, this was the era of real UNIX GUIs...
