  1. I saw this maybe a week ago. Gary Johnson followed by Ron Paul. It certainly isn't the only source one should use when analyzing election options, but it did open my eyes a bit. I didn't know a number of these people existed.

     

    EDIT: I found the url for my results.

  2. My high school had really narrow full lockers, for the most part. Of course, you got a locker close to (or almost close to) your homeroom class in freshman year and kept it for all four years. I knew which hallway mine was in, but since I was only in that part of the building for my freshman homeroom class and never again, it was never useful. I carried everything with me. Only a few people I knew used lockers.

    Definitely a pie, whoever called it 'cake' must be mad, or I'm mad


    This is why we need the Oxford comma. It sounds to me like Harehunter was asking which one of the three is best: cheesecake, pie, or cake? You interpreted it as asking if cheesecake is a sub-type of pie or cake.

    While that is technically true, people are asked to reveal personal information in these polls. I think that having just one (or two) people dealing with the results will reduce people's hesitation to provide complete results.
  5. Christopher Paolini wrote four books in which dragons weren't necessarily mean. There were certainly wild ones, but they weren't seen as the scourges that they are in other fictions. At least not since the war between dragons and elves that took place long before the story.

    You are the first to complain about meagre system requirements. We have complaints that is doesn't run on 10 year old computers that other players still use.

    Many people who are used to Membrane Keyboards will press the keys down too far on a Mechanical Keyswitch, 'bottoming out' on every keystroke, resulting in a loud clack in addition to the light click of the keyswitch which is generated half-way through the key travel distance. Once a user learns to not press the keys completely down with every keystroke, the level of noise generated when typing on a mechanical keyswitch keyboard is substantially reduced.


    Maybe the clicky clicky isn't such a good thing...
  8. Lilith, that reminds me of the earthquake we had here nearly a year ago. Most of us had to check the internet/news to confirm that it wasn't just a big truck driving past. Shortly thereafter, we got the edge of a hurricane. Unlike the previous Maryland hurricane, the tides were going out (or something lunar) so there wasn't much flooding. Just enough wind to knock out power for as much as a week in some areas.

     

    More recently, we had our annual tornado already. Coming from the midwest, I can say that it was entirely underwhelming.

    Pretty much this. Except that "kids these days" is one of my most used phrases.
  10. Apportable, the team that ported for Android Humble Bundle, seems to be doing minor bug fixes, but I doubt they'll change any UI features.

     

    Buying through a third-party site does not guarantee service on other platforms. I think Jeff only gives codes out to third-party purchasers if the game doesn't work, but you can always email and check (support@spiderwebsoftware.com). Buying from Spiderweb's site, though, will get you access on all platforms sold through them.

    Why do you have so much power on your machine? My MBP has Intel i7 2.2GHz quad, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, and Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB built in, AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB discrete. I've never had issues with speed except when running enormous amounts of flash.
