[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="7" id="3349474"]I don't think we have a picture of a female Vasari do we? I think your art team needs to get on those pics.[/quote] I distinctly recall a discussion about whether we had male images of Advent, and the confusion that ensued.... If we can't figure out which advent are male, how the hell are we supposed to tell which Vasari are female? For all we know, they are all female...

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="16" id="3349524"]They chose not to call an inspector urgently.[/quote] To be fair, I wouldn't assume calling a government inspector would amount to much....corruption is rampant in these countries and often "inspectors" or government officials turn blind eyes to such issues...the workers surely know this, and probably are aware of what happened to the "labor leader"... Additionally, I'm sure that any worker who didn't go would be relieved

Phoned-in orders and online orders are fundamentally different...when I phone in an order, an employee on the other end of the line is completing the transaction, not me... they , not I, are using my information (such as a credit card) to complete a purchase and will generate the "title" (or receipt) at their location... If I make an online purchase, however, my credit card information and my proof of purchase all come and go through the terminal I am using....bottom l

[quote who="psychoak" reply="41" id="3348523"]The slaughter house pays no sales tax when buying cattle, the breeder doesn't either. The scrapyard pays no sales tax when paying for scrap. I pay no sales tax if I go to a yard sale either. Sales tax is not collected for a myriad of cash transactions because they are not retail sales, not because people are cheating.[/quote] I am aware of this, as I imagine others are...if for simplicity we can just assume anytime someone uses the wor

Up until W8, windows didn't have open betas....
Seems for the most part to be features improving the mobile experience...not that desktop users won't benefit, but it doesn't seem like W8 is going to be getting any new desktop converts...
Yes that was with the original disks... I currently have 2 disks (sold my 3rd), one is just the game and one is like some edition that includes the patches on the disk (so basically, different autorun) and neither worked...even when I tried running the setup directly with every possible administrator/compatibility setting, it did not work.... It doesn't surprise me though if GoG copies (is that the right word?) work....

I couldn't install SMAC/X on W7 (64 bit) because apparently that game installs via a 16 bit installer (which W7 64x didn't have)...I was able to play the game by just copying the files to the hard drive, but there were issues with saving settings... I can however install it on W8 (64 bit) no problem...that might be because I

Assert @ C:\Projects\P4\SinsRebellion\main\CodeSource\GS/Entity/EntitySystemHelpers.cpp(735) thisBuff != 0 Can occur when a buff that does not exist is referenced (may have other causes). Likely due to a typo or omission in the entity manifest.

The only true statement in the above paragraph is that Auqia does indeed tend to lead with a Halcyon... The rest falls somewhere between "Zeus impregnated my mother" and "The Tooth Fairy was affected by budget cuts".....
Well, I think part of the reason that there are two "styles" is that W8 was intended to be a panacea of sorts for OSes, one that worked both for desktops and mobile devices... In theory , you can operate almost entirely in the "desktop" styled part of the OS or almost entirely in the "mobile" styled part of the OS...desktop users get their desktop (with the more conventional style that W7 has) and mobile users get their mobile stuff (with the tiles, metro loo

As it stands, SoaSE:R is the clear frontrunner of current 4X space games (GC2 is probably at a close 2nd)...but, the competition is also either very weak or not fully in the game yet...
