The credits in the manuals and in the games.:) Oh, Colonization is also a Brian Reynolds design.
BTW, Civ 3 isn't a Sid Meier game either - his credits in the manual are... having designed the original Civ. The lead designers are Soren Johnson and Jeff Briggs.
Which games DID Sid Meier actually work in, recently? Gettysburg and SimGolf. Don't know about the new Pirates! yet.
Here's my supposition: Sid doesn't like sequels much. He just lends his name to them. Then again, he *did* design the originals...
"Unknown to many, both Sid Meier's Civilization II and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri were primarily his designs, not Sid_Meier's. Both games, however, borrow from Sid's original Civilization."
Hey, I wrote that paragraph! It's the first time someone on./ quotes from something *I* wrote!
Nope... if there's anyone on the comic related to Ayn Rand in some way, it's Rorschach - the "never compromise" attitude, for instance. In fact, he's based on The Question, a Charlton character who was created by Steve Ditko (co-creator of Spider-Man), who is well known as a follower of Objectivism - especially since he left Spider-Man.
Indeed, but if you read the rest of the article, you'll see that they, indeed, exaggerated. Banning the red cross in a med-kit because it could be seen as a religious symbol? Replacing "Bars" with "Cafes"? WW2 games couldn't have Nazis in them?
If said feature is "be really, really insecure no matter how much you improve the browser otherwise", then, yes, NOT having it makes Firefox (and everything else but IE) better...
Just a suggestion: your daughter would be a lot less confused if she used Firefox instead of IE. No more banner popups pretending to be Windows error messages, in which the user is tempted to just click "OK" or "Yes".
Right. Yet, Linux can be secure without imposing stupid artificial limits on TCP/IP.
What MS is doing is like: "to prevent you from getting killed in a traffic accident, we're not allowing you to leave your house. Now thank us for protecting you."

It is well known that AOL do that in exchange for an AOL icon in new Windows installations...

Wanna guess how long Mozilla, Firefox and such will take to fix this?
:)
And how long IE will take?
Didn't think so.
"To the people that say "Get a Game Boy" - I don't want a game boy. Game boys are for kids."
You've just shown that you know nothing whatsoever about Game Boys.
Or a bad enough dude to rescue the President? :)
Who plays ANY game wearing pants? :)
Infidel! Duke Nukem Forever came out FIRST!

I think he'll also be sued by Nintendo and MS... :)
You may not be aware, but there are 'developers', and then there are 'publishers'... :)
FreeBSD doesn't need Konstruct. It has... ports!

So, Windows is GNU/Chess and CP/M is Hydra and Shredder, right?
Repeat after me, we are all individuals
I'm not!!
:)
Ah, Stan Lee rules! :)
No it wouldn't! UT2005 will probably be even better, so... :)
"A previous SCO user."
Man, what have you done? Now they'll sue you!
There are no Groklaw soldiers in Utah! I triple-guarantee you!

... you buy it, and later SCO sues you!
Or... Planescape Fucking Torment, which has the best plot of any RPG ever.
... when someone mentions MOO3. Have you seen Galactic Civilizations? :)
