Reply to Thoughts on the new build in Servo Stardock Forums

My 2 cents: I like the idea of Creep Rock City, seems like it would be a great PvP map, have only skirmished in it so far. Initial impression is that the penultimate creep is a bit cheap, I had 2-3 take down the dropship + 1 turret + 2-3 factories. AI and factories, it appears that the computer is spamming the factories but not building drones. Creep Rock, played 2 skirmishes that seems to indicate a loot crate drop but none was given. I ha

Reply to Had it Up to HERE with the Gay Rights Movement in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Many arguments are made in which discrimination based upon race color or creed is compared to that of homosexuality and the idea that while race color and creed are not chosen, homosexuality is (or is at least mutable). A more valid comparison would be to that of religion. What if Utah disallowed marriage between Catholic or Muslim individuals because Mormonism is the approved religion of the state? What if any other state disallowed marriage (or ot

Shortcuts in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I have a shortcut on a network drive that launces a program while setting the run directory to my network directory. The program resides on a local drive. The DX object "shortcut" can pick the shortcut but then just defines the shortcut to the program on the local drive (setting the run directory to the local drive). I need the DX shortcut to set the run drive to the network, can I do this in the arguements box somehow?

Reply to Parents & Non-Parents divide in Politics JoeUser Forums

I am going to fall back to the original point Brad was making. If the scenario played out a Brad described (as has the Scheivo's has), as parents, you should know beforehand what your child's wishes are. You should also know beforehand what your child's spouse's wishes are. That means talking to the pair either before or shortly after the wedding, as well as helping them set up the living wills and power of attorney papers. My w

Sun caves to Kodak patent lawsuit in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

Kodak sued Sun over a patent it holds for 'a method by which a program can "ask for help" from another application to carry out certain computer-oriented functions.' Now Sun has settled and will cross-license IP with Kodak. It seems a lot of developers are scratching their head over this one. Methods have existed for programs to communicate and share data t

"Just as head start and after school programs should be prioritized throughout our land, so, too, should our foreign policy, together with a western alliance, be geared to the infusion of education aid to the Muslim world for the development of secular education to counteract the Madrassas and other Islamic schools indifferent to enculturating its children into the modern world."
