How about the Merriam-Webster dictionary, or is that a conspiracy too?

The first gen Core i7 runs considerably hotter than that. Mine goes into the low 90s Celsius when at load for an extended period, and I have a ridiculously good heatsink.Originally Posted By: Earth EmpiresCore2s (and most likely Core Is too) 65 celsius is safe and for hdds its around 40 celsius.

I'm not quite sure what your point is here. He says his CPU runs at 42º C when idle, which is lower than 110º F.Originally Posted By: The MysticSpeak for yourself on this one. My laptop idles at around 110°F, and used to do that even when it was brand new with no software installed and running other than Windows Vista.Originally Posted By: TyranicusTemperature rising when the CPU is at load is normal, even with good cooling.

All the Avernum games run quite well in Wine.Originally Posted By: IffySure, go ahead and confirm The Triple Valley. Even though that was years ago, it'd be nice to get some new feedback on it. Might just convince me to re-open my BoA, assuming it loads with WINE. >.>

Temperature rising when the CPU is at load is normal, even with good cooling. The temperatures mentioned aren't anything about which to be worried.Originally Posted By: Earth Empirestemp rising isn't good so your laptop's fan isn't doing its work properly.

Yes, I like my lists to be organized.Originally Posted By: ActaeonAlphabetical order, Tyran?

I personally feel that SGU got better as the series progressed, and the last half of the second season, which aired after the show had already been canceled was superb. It's very sad, really. I watch the following shows still in production: The Big Bang Theory, Boardwalk Empire, Bones, The Colbert Report, CSI, Californication, Castle, Community, The Daily Show, Doc Martin, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Eureka, Fringe, Futurama, Game of Thrones, Harry's Law, House, How I Met Your Mother, Hustle, Leverage, Mad Men, NCIS, Royal Pains, Sherlock, The Simpsons, Sons of Anarchy, Terra Nova, Top Gear, Treme, Venture Brothers, Warehouse 13, and The Walking Dead.Originally Posted By: B.J.EarlesI'm still sad Stargate Universe didn't live up to the standards of the first two series.

ErmarianOriginally Posted By: Rent-an-IhrnoI realize now that Sanctuary is the name of the mortal realm in the Diablo series. What the heck is the name for the world of Exile?

Also, this discussion hardly seems complete without this comic:

That Johnny Depp rumor is very old and almost certainly baseless.

If it's nothing like the Paul McGann TV movie, that will be a good start.

On 32-bit XP, the Exile games run natively if you put them in compatibility mode. Why were you even using DOSBox?Originally Posted By: HarehunterI don't know how it works on 64-bit, but I did get a very successful load of Windows 3.1 on DOSBox on a couple of 32-bit winxp's, and all three Exiles copied into into it and they run just fine. Actually, after installing it on one box, I copied the whole shebang onto a flash drive, plugged into another box, and ran directly off the flash.
The cursor has a bit of an annoying habit of disappearing when you move it, but settles in nicely when you stop. That is the only annoyance I have noticed.
I have yet to work up the time and ambition for a Win98 load. It might work better, but on the other hand, it might work worse. -
Flaming people for saying they prefer one game to another is not something that really happens around here.

DRM to help prevent piracy. Of course it doesn't work. Cracked copies of the game hit torrent sites before it had even been launched, but that's the biggest reason for a developer to require Steam.Originally Posted By: Master1Wait... Skyrim on PC requires you to install Steam? Well, I'm glad it's not available for Mac, or I'd be getting my money back. Nothing against Steam, but why would it be required by Bethesda?

If you're a big fan of world-building, it's a bit of a surprise that you aren't a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire.Originally Posted By: meekness leaving the bodyThat, I think, is what I like about WoT. I've always been a sucker for world-building.

I can set up that website for you, and I will judge if no one else steps forward.

Not without violating the license agreement and modifying the virtual machine software. This is a legal gray area if you have actually purchased OS X, but even so, you still have to modify the software to get it to work in the first place.Originally Posted By: Earth EmpiresIt seems possible to install OSX Lion to VM running on Win7, http://www.windows7hacker.com/index.php/2011/09/how-to-install-fully-functional-mac-os-x-lion-virtual-machine-inside-windows-7/

You can run the latest version of OS X (10.7) in a VM and the server versions of 10.5 and 10.6 in VMs. I think you can do this only from an OS X host OS though. I haven't tried doing it from another OS.Originally Posted By: Harehunter5? can you put MAC OS in a VM?

I do this quite frequently.Originally Posted By: 21st Century TerrorI'm reading several books at once, and am therefore counting that.

It was, on both counts.Originally Posted By: orphans of the american dreamI was going to, but I did research and apparently 2k was just ME for businesses. And I thought it was a whole different thing. And pre-ME.Originally Posted By: Skwish-EW2K

There is a mailing list, but there is often a delay between the release of the game and when the email is sent out. Personally, I just watch the forums. The first forum-goer to see the game will surely post about it here.
