  1. If we're talking about scripts, do you know how I can tell the script to read the screen (for example find a button with a specific word and click on it with the mouse)?

    An acquaintance once told me he made a script that played a scrabble word game for him, it read the letters off the screen, compared them to a dictionary and offered the highest score possibilities. But he didn't want to tell me how he did it.

  2. Welcome to spiderweb software forums, please leave your sanity at the door.

    If you're not looking for spoilers then the short answer is: yes there's a clue (a pretty big one at it) and it will be dead obvious the moment you find the entrance. Just reread your conversation with the chief and the shaman.

  3. The Howling depths Long!? Have you finished them yet? Either you should use haste more or a party of 2 really simplifies that entire rush (or the adrenalin was really pumping when I was going through them that I hadn't really noticed the length). smile

    tip: IIRC there's a secret tunnel midway that can be used as a choke point and a resting/regrouping spot if you're feeling overwhelmed.

    See ~15:00 that pretty much sums it up (both explanations) (oh and the cane is used to swat bees)
  5. I see this as the same problem as with cloud computing, what's the sense of scattering my entire information (HD) across four continents and having no physical HD if an ISP is mandatory to reach my data?! So now I won't be able to get my data not only when my house is in a blackout but also when my ISP is in a blackout or a server overload or the 1000 other problems that an ISP is prone to and my home desktop isn't!

    alt: "Smilodon fatalis" narrowly edged out "Tyrannosaurus rex" to win this year's Most Badass Latin Names competition, after edging out "Dracorex hogwartsia" and "Stygimoloch spinifer" (meaning "horned dragon from the river of death") in the semifinals.

     

    (both the strip and the alt are from the online comic XKCD)

  7. That jackass hasn't been posting since 2009 due to legal issues (someone threatened to sue him for copyright violations due to slander). There's no need to take him seriously at all. (Unless, Trenton, you are trying to get him posting again by giving him this free publicity, wink wink nudge nudge)

  8. SM's Alpha cetaury

     

    Heroes of might and magic 2-3

     

    Colonization

     

    Deadlock 2

     

    Fallout (I haven't played 2 yet, probably never will due to not having enough time and piece of mind)

     

    Exile 2 demo

     

    Castle of the winds 1+2

     

    Starcraft

     

    and a few more I can't think of at the moment

    Well, if you believe god trumps mathematics then obviously god created mathematics wrong.
    If, on the other hand, you believe mathematics trumps god, then whomever Homer met, s-h-it wasn't god but some kind of anthropomorphic personification of the christian god or otherwise an imposter.

    Oh, and thanks alorel.
  10. Homer Simpson is in fact a genius, he's just have a crayon shoved up his nose, touching his brain and interfering with its electrical signals rendering him into a blumbering idiot.

    In the Simpson universe it is in fact known that god doesn't exist because Homer gave mathematical irrefutable proof that s-h-it doesn't exist.

  11. I rather thought that s-he and hmrrr (him*her) would fit here.

    (and its not hrmmm because it sounds like someone trying to clear ones throat and hmrrr sounds like a cat purring)

    I also know that androgens are relatively rare, and I have maybe ever met one, and I didn't confirm it because I figured it wasn't any of my business and I should just treat hmrrr as a person.

    Another thing is that, (and please correct me if I'm wrong) genetically one is either male (XY chromosomes) or female (XX chromosomes) unless down syndrome is involved.

    But even with that, the gender we present to the world is not predetermined by our genes as the woman olympics taught us (if I remember correctly, a few women (in the full sense) which were suspected of taking steroids were disqualified because of it, shenanigans ensued, until it was shown that the reason for them looking so butch was in fact that they had an XY chromosome, which severely shocked the entire sports and medicine community).
