I can't believe it's taken then this long. Hell, even though the prices went up, it's still cheap as hell. Some of you are very bitter. Think about how much it used to cost to rent a movie from Blockbuster, or any other rental movie outlet. Netflix is still cheap! Not to mention the amount of bandwidth it requires to stream full length shows and movies. Do you have any idea how much that bandwidth costs?
[quote] Falling Skies: have not seen it yet, not sure about that one. Bit afraid its too much like Battle LA or Skyline, both rubbish movies of highest order IMHO. I like Dr. Carter though, at least i think he was OK on ER, so i think i will look at it. After all, there are not many current sci-fi shows left, are they?

At the other end of the spectrum, after my last Logitech keyboard started to go after years of abuse, I picked up a "comparable" MS replacement since the model had been discontinued in the time since I'd bought it. The MS board lasted about six months before keys started to fail.
[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="12" id="2965203"]I've read articles saying that microsoft makes more money on hardware peripherials like keyboards, mice and game controllers than on big console units nowadays. That's most likely the reason they still make them.[/quote] Thats pretty much the same for ANY business. The profit is almost always made from the addons.

Falling Skies is ok in a campy sort of way. I can never take Dr. Carter too seriously. And the aliens aren't very human like.
I don't believe AI engages in quests, In fact, I dont think quests even spawn for enemies, but I could be wrong on that.

[quote who="Phoon" reply="1" id="2956235"]what is assenine is that it took 4 years for the patent to be awarded in the first place. It could have saved a lot of court time had it been awarded in an effecient manner. On the other foot, Android should not have copied the interface like they did.[/quote] Copy the interface? This patent really talks about the finger gestures (mostly relating to how web pages are handled). Like how you move a web page
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="5" id="2949623"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 2I just straight up DO NOT GET the hit point reduction. It seems completely illogical. Tactical combat should last longer, not shorter, especially considering how easy it is to cheese the AI in tactical. What's the point in having 8 men with 45 health get taken down in a single turn by an enemy 8-man squad with 80 attack? And that's just using bloody boar spears. http://i.imgur.com/jo0fl.png and tha
With no longer needing a building to train groups of units, I would suggest removing the Squads_Amarian tech. It seems silly to have to research that, which does nothing, to get to company. (Change Forts_Amarian prereq to seiges). Also, the command post is supposed to decrease training time now. It doesn't. It only costs specialists, -4 gold/turn, and materials. Same tech thing for Trogs, although their tree is slightly different. You guys always seem to pay less att

I wonder how this will affect certain applications? For instance, real time audio recording. In a powerful audio production software, you will have dozens of processes going on (for plugins which apply effects, or generate instrument sounds). It ends up running many processes in the background. I can see this causing problems with real time recording, but I could be wrong.
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="2" id="2948633"] Quoting Onklifiziert, reply 1Well, If you want to spend some money for a gaming PC DO NOT buy a laptop. But to your question: Yes, this graphic card is good enough for playing those games. Ah, thanks for your answer WRT what I asked in the OP. Though, I must ask why you consider a laptop to be subpar for gaming? My preference is mostly in that I can easily pick up and go with it, especially as I'll be using it for more mundan
In case it wasn't obvious, this mod has been discontinued. I just don't have the time to work on it anymore. If anyone wants to continue what I've done here, feel free.
I'm sorry to say that I'm discontinuing this mod. I unfortunately don't have the time to work on it anymore, and with the changes coming in 1.3, there would be quite a bit to change. If anyone else would like to pick up the reigns on it, be my guest.
First, I think you have to overwrite the entire unit (not just the stuff you want to add, copy the whole unit's xml to your mod file, then add what you want). Second, I don't think charm monster will work because it will be dead at that point. But, you can have the same monster type join the army (although I havent tested it out) Third, you forgot the treasure tag (looking at the core XMLs arent very helpful sometimes) [Quote] <Treas

[quote who="Ynglaur" reply="19" id="2942264"]Just curious...how is Tiles different than ObjectDock in terms of functionality? I'm also struggling to see the difference in function between Tiles and the Windows 7 Taskbar. The only thing I can't use the Windows 7 Taskbar for right now is I can't put a folder on them. The only thing I can't do with ObjectDock is get the Windows 7 preview tiles (the icon-sized preview just doesn't quite do it for me). <b
