I've said it before and I'll say it again, dont buy anything made by apple. But if you really have to, be smart and buy s/h.

A link for us US'ers. This is a huge problem and not just because Apple is in the spotlight. China is Communist lets not forget. Don't get me wrong, I've never had any aversion to Apple but technology as a whole is driving this entire machine.

 

This is definitely a problem though and corporations don't like any of the answers because it cuts in to their bottom line. Its a tough problem.

Prancing around about "premium products" is kinda terrible, considering Apple products are made in very much the same Chinese factories as any other consumer brand, HP for example. If people want to use them, then fine, I personally wouldn't recommend anyone I know to buy them, but don't bash other brands for being less superior, when all you're really paying for is the material of the housing and the brand name.

Nonsense, tomfoolery and abject stupidity, all of which can be found on my channel. (TDM stuff included)

...and the overall design philosophy that makes using your computer feel like a cohesive whole rather than a jumbled mess of programs.

You can call me Phi, Numbers, Digits, Ratio, 16, 1618, or whatever really, as long as it's not Phil.

Different ball game, now you're just referring to software. I'd be interested to know how OS X organizes programs better, other than the dock which becomes cluttered anyway, given that Finder is possibly one the worst directory systems in modern computing.

The first link takes me to a page with "EVGA announces new SuperNova 1600 T2 PSU" which is a marketing fluff piece for a 360€ power unit. It costs more than mosts PCs...

 

Apart from the "we try to load additional fonts and fail, displaying chinese characters instead" for symbols, which is the latest web-designer-plage), the second link says:

 

"BBC iPlayer TV programmes are available to play in the UK only. Find out why.

If you are in the UK and see this message please read this advice."

The internet has already been broken by greedy and incompetent people. :(

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
