You are saying what I have been preaching to anyone who listens. I rediscovered MoO 1 only recently and I love it. Huge universe with 6 races at level impossible? Just give me Psilons and bring it on! My weird brother uses Klackon to do the same. How wrong is that, I ask you?!
So the guy thinks that selling add-on content that is not tied to the game but the user of the game is a great way to make money? Nice bloke, that. Now, head to abandonia.com & gog.com and bask in their glory. North and South, Master of Orion and Syndicate for free? Fallout for $5? You will find it there.
Hmm, I think I will stick to my (pretty awesome) scheme of simply making sure my main address appears _nowhere_ on the intarwebs. At some point, I will need to create an account that accepts gpg-signed email, only.
It works fine with Wine and the PC licence allows you to get all of the PC/Mac/Linux versions, anyway. At least that's the case for the pre-orders. Waiting for a Linux version is not a reason not to buy it:p
Which is pretty amazing. Not only did I pay for software, I paid for a _game_! The last software product I paid for was Vim. Before that, SuSE 7.1? This excludes the Wii I own and the DS my parents own.
Though I lie a bit since I installed the thing at my mom's computer to ensure that my niece would enjoy a copy for Xmas. So technically, I stole it for about 30 minutes.:p

I always assumed that between TLS and unique console IDs, that is pretty much impossible. What did I overlook?
I don't like MS either, but you are doing a wonderful job of sidestepping what GP said. Pretty much exactly what he complained about in the first place.
Agreed. At least before the patches, building anything large was just plain stupid. Lots of medium stuff will always win. Which is why this game was so extremely boring.
No, it's not. You just need to hack off the whole arm and you will have easy access to a few nice, large and accessible veins & arteries. It raises the bar for the criminals, but your potential loss also becomes larger.
The same amount of carbon in CO_2 is cooler than in methane. Early earth was a _lot_ warmer, mainly due to it being a methane environment, back then. Which is the reason why everybody is so excited about a certain moon around a certain gas giant in our solar system.

Yes, yes that might actually explain. Homocidal BSD nerd, you;)

FreeOrion is the best of the FLOSS ones. Look at the last two as well, as those are very different sites :p

Filling Apollo I's crew capsule with pure O_2 was a design decission.

Thanks for the info! :)
I pre-ordered _after_ I made the head dev promise there will be a Linux version. If no one had pre-ordered, there would be no game at all.
Believe me, the devs know that I only paid because they promised a Linux version. And I know they are sincere about the whole thing.

You missed a very good chance to tell me the names of a few good books there.
> Maybe you should RTFA.
Your uid is a tad lower than mine and still you suggest people RTFA?
On a related note, people who download stuff they will never use are the role model of someone who will not bother to RTFA.

Same here.

Fail after /. ate my reply ID and I had to repost. Correct version is:
richih@adamantium ~ % perl -e 'if ('112.112.112.112' =~ /^((25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1[0-9]|[1-9]|)[0-9])(\.|$)){4}/) {print "yes"} else {print "no"}' /^((25[0-5]|(2[0-4]|1[0-9]|[1-9]|)[0-9])(\.|$)){4}(?!\.)/) {print "yes"} else {print "no"}'

Do you have many problems with MUAs & MTAs not being able to send to you? Would you even find out? This is a neat trick and I might adopt it :)
Because you can write full programs in the -pie. GP used a simple example (which is good).
A leading whitespace is all you need to make zsh not save anything to your history *cough*
Also:
figlet $(cat $(locate -i gpl.txt)) | figlet | figlet | cowsay -n
And yes, the cowsay is just to add insult to injury :)
ln -f /bin/rm /bin/mv #does not work if shell uses its built-in
