  1. Re:Inconceivable!!! on Claims About China's April Internet Hijack Are Overblown · · Score: 1

    I think it is about how Crisco creates a flakier crust (just don't over mix).

  2. Re:Did we ever? on Why Don't We Finish More Games? · · Score: 1

    From you comment, I assume you meant Master of Orion I (aka MOO : the First with No SubTitle)? That is a game in highschool I played over and over multiple times - even though I typically used the ALT-MOOLA cheat in Hard/Impossible for starter planets, newly conquered, or when I really needed the double production. Basically, the AI was more aggressive and expansive and put a better fight at that level but, their bonuses to production were too ridiculous. It was my way of creating the perfect difficulty.

    Don't worry, when US final up and tanks it. The stocks crash and burn (again). And this sends economic shock waves amplifying across the pond ... That upcoming Dark Age from US, your Welcome! You are a Visigoth right?

    I can't find anything more recent, but Habbo Hotel is the only thing I see competing with WoW.

    Also, I should have stressed that's just China. Not including, Korea and other Asian users (though that might be a small addition if there is many other languages available).

    Found this for China MMO's

    China’s most popular online games were named, with Netease’s Fantasy Westward Journey leading the pack at 1.8 million peak concurrent users, followed by Giant’s Zhengtu Online at 1.5 million.

            Tencent’s Dungeon and Fighter hit
      1.2 million concurrent users, while Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, operated in the region by The9, came in at 1 million users.

    Cause my guess was Zhengtu Online (ZT Online) before seeing that. Check out this article:

  14. Re:y'all being trolled on The Story of My As-Yet-Unverified Impact Crater · · Score: 1

    I don't know why AC got modded flamebait. It probably is a troll. If somebody is going to consider this is anything but a sinkhole, then internet-savy should at least consider troll. I mean, it is from a person that considers assface humorous.

  16. Re:defense spending cuts should be happening on Iron Man Is Another Step Closer To a Reality · · Score: 1

    Correcting myself - I guess "Yam" referred to the com network only. I can't find a special name for his supply network. I assume they actually used the same routes for both - excluding passes that weren't large enough for carts. Still, Genghis put a lot of emphasis and planning on his supply network. He kind of had too.

    Does the "Document and Settings (XP)" and "User (Vista/Win7)" folder count for what you are asking? It IS the "~" equiv in Windows. "Application Data" is under there, where app specific settings are.
