Re: What internet programs do you use, and why?

Hmm, only allowed one choice in each group?

At home, I split between Safari and Firefox (primary computer is a Mac). I would use Firefox exclusively, but it has an annoying tendency to crash early...

Re: OT A question regarding a culture I\'m working

Actually, dogscoff does have a good point about a tightly integrated theocracy. Not sure how much that would be the case, since there technically are two religions. If there would be a huge reaction...

Re: OT A question regarding a culture I\'m working

Hmmm, I have the text of your story saved somewhere. I skimmed the first few parts and saved it because it seemed like it could be interesting, but I never did get around to it. Might have to dig it...

Re: SE\'s Best Quality, And How to Improve It

TDM for SEV, perhaps? I haven't been following the modding for SEV much, so I'm not sure if there's a big project for AI modding started... but I'm sure there will be one at some point.

Re: OT: Cyber Nation

Heh. Bombs away it is, I suppose...

Also, FYI: today I logged in to two new messages. At first I thought I was attacked, but it turns out that the Wombat Protectorate now has two merger offers,...

Re: OT: Computer upgrade advice

Well, if you're not sure what you're looking for, it can be a little difficult to see the connector types. The easiest is if you have IDE connectors open. With these you will see a plastic box with...

Re: OT: Building a new computer...

It would not actually be too much of a problem structure-wise to get most games multi-threaded. For example, SEV; instead of each AI processing its turn in order, just spawn a thread for each AI, and...

Re: OT: Building a new computer...

The other con is the amount of die space available for on-chip cache. Normally about 50-67% of the space on a modern microprocessor is taken up by cache; if you take a dual core and squeeze another...

Re: OT: Building a new computer...

The Core 2 Quad chip isn't worth it. In most benchmarks the Duos beat the pants off of it, and it doesn't really offer any better multitasking performance. I would bump it to a Duo E6750 instead, at...

Re: Anyone played Lost Empires?

Never heard of it until now... looks like it might be ok. Definitely seems like it would pale in comparison to any SE in terms of mod-ability. Graphics looks like a clunkier version of SEV plus...

DivX, maybe? It seems at least for the Mac version it's drag-and-drop. www.divx.com (http://www.divx.com)

Re: OT: Cyber Nation

No offense, but I would guess that most of the players in the Wombat Protectorate wouldn't care much if Wolfpack had begun attacking. It would make things interesting for a few days, and then game...

Re: Expanding Atmosphere Types

I don't quite see why noble gasses are necessarily ruled out. It doesn't quite fit into the current game mechanics, but it is conceivable to have lifeforms that depend on a non-reactive but...

Why would it be dissolved? If this guy is so worried about his e-peen that the rest of the alliance gets involved, I'm of mind to fight it out for a week or two until it gets boring and one side or...

Hah, it's funny what idiots will do sometimes.

You know, if I were building some kind of combat simulation where you only give x number of units A & B vs. y number of units C & D, I would give...

Re: SEIV

If I remember things correctly, the Pirates and Nomads mod (P&N) revolves around developing different economic models than other mods.

The "normal" races are just like every other race in stock....

Re: Space Empires on Facebook?

Depends on how it was written. If the code follows the object-oriented dogma of MVC to the letter, then yes; you're just writing a new 'V' part. But it's not often that a project of that size will...

Re: Space Empires on Facebook?

Re: OT: SEV music on Toyota website ???

Yep. And anyone with a Mac and a decent knowledge of music theory can make some pretty nice sounding stuff since it comes with GarageBand. One of my old roommates was a (very) amateur composer, and...

Re: Ship AIs that talk to each other

Yes, but that's still what I would call "macro-level". You're getting the speed boost because instead of calculating a value that doesn't change much n times, you store it in a higher scope and...

Re: Introducing the iPhone...

I'm pretty sure that's more of a legal liability thing from the carrier. If you look into your ISP agreement, it probably has similar language. Same with email providers, forums, etc. Basically it...
