No luck finding a new judge?

I like this list, but if you are going to list the SW game releases, you should either list only the Mac release dates or the Mac and Windows release dates. Listing only the Windows dates is confusing.Originally Posted By: Magic MasterMy scenario listing is updated. I am changed some dates and added new scenarios.

I would hardly classify myself as a scientist.

There is also the fact that the underlying reason many people are against abortion has little to do with the life of the conceptus itself and a lot to do with imposing their own view of morality on others.

The entire problem could be circumvented by requiring a federal ID card for every citizen. Ironically enough, a lot of the same people who are big proponents of requiring ID to vote are vehemently opposed to the idea of federal ID cards.

What people need to remember when they complain about Valve taking a cut is that no one is forcing a developer to use Steam. If a developer gets their game on Steam and signs the agreement, they clearly think it will pay of regardless off how much Valve takes.

I think you mean the Senate. By definition, the House gives more votes to states with higher populations.Originally Posted By: Nutrient Paste OchreDon't want low-population states ruled by high-population states? That's what state government is for. That's what the House of Representatives is for.

What are the applicationss between Skype and Preview and between Kindle and Photoshop?Originally Posted By: ActaeonMy wallpaper is always a season off.
I think I posted that picture in the photo thread, but I suppose you can all critique me on the applications in my dock or something. -
He was talking about Steam, but I imagine it applies to the Mac App Store as well.Originally Posted By: Master1I believe Jeff said that he doesn't get unlimited free keys from Steam*, so there is no way he could provide them for everyone that purchases directly from Spiderweb.
*He may have been talking about the MAS, or both. -
If the electoral college were to be abolished entirely and the presidents chosen simply based on the results of the popular vote, then a citizen in Vermont would have exactly as much say as a citizen in California.Originally Posted By: HarehunterI know there are a lot of opinions regarding the electoral college. This was another one of those great compromises during the writing of the Constitution. This feature of our system ensures that every state will have at three votes in the presidential race, regardless of population. While that may not seem much considering the 55 votes apportioned to California, but without this buffer, Vermont, Montana, both Dakotas, etc might have no representation at all.

I am definitely not a big fan of Newt Gingrich, but EMP attacks actually are a real threat. It would only take a few large payload nuclear devices detonated in the atmosphere over the US to completely wipe out al electronic devices. If you think we are even slightly prepared for that, you're wrong.Originally Posted By: Master1
I stopped listening to Gingrich after the first debate, when he warned against EMP attacks. -
Yes.Originally Posted By: ActaeonAgain, what does that accomplish? Transfer of vinyl to mp3?

My record player actually has a USB port on it and can be hooked up to my computer as an audio input device. If you have an older record player, you can certainly use adapters that would turn the output from RCA to standard minijack, which you can plug into most any computer.Originally Posted By: ActaeonHow do you go about hooking up a record player to a computer, and what does that accomplish? I usually go the opposite route, hooking my computer into my stereo system when I'm bored of my vinyl and the radio's less than stellar.

I wouldn't discount Hillary Clinton quite so quickly.Originally Posted By: Fringy MacGeeNow, the real question. Who's going to win in 2016? Chris Christie with a side of Tim Pawlenty?

It's much easier to go to the Wikipedia mobile site.Originally Posted By: ExcaliburI just read a Wikipedia page by taking a screenshot of it before before the blackout screen could come up. I am such a rebel.
Edit: Ironically, you can still view the article for SOPA. -
It needs to be plugged in for the automatic backup only. The manual backup can be done when it is unplugged.

They will automatically backup daily if you plug your iPad in to charge. If it is always plugged in, it will do it once every 24 hours, if it is not always plugged in, it will back up automatically if you plug it in more than 24 hours after the last backup. You can backup manually by pressing that backup now button.

You needed to have it set to backup from iCloud and to restore from an iCloud backup when you first set up your iPad 2.

I found that performance was very poor using the Skyrim wrapper. After trying it out, I went back to booting into Windows to play.Originally Posted By: Master1This is the second best use of Wineskin I've seen. The best is the wrapper I have for Skyrim, once I buy the game.

Avernum requires Quartz Extreme. Earlier versions of VMware Workstation do not support it either.Originally Posted By: KinsumeQuartz Extreme and Core Image graphics
I was just told over on the VMware forums that workstation 7 and 8 do not provide this feature. I'm not entirely sure what it is but does Avernum require it in order to run? Also do you know if other workstation's like 5 or 6 or something have it? -
In order for this game to work in a VM, you need very good GPU emulation. I'm really not sure that VMware, or any virtualization software has hardware accelerated GPU support for OS X virtual machines.

Thanks to the power of Wineskin, you can have MS Paint in OS X.Originally Posted By: ExcaliburI've tried Paintbrush but find it does not have the same functionality and ease of use as Paint, mostly because it's impossible to properly copy and paste things into a Paintbrush canvas (or crop them).
