That's been my impression as well. Other countries recovering from a conflict seem to have a lot of people still looking for others to blame for their problems but Iraqis seem more interested in just trying to make things a little better each day. I think if they can hold on to that hope their future will be bright.

Games got a lot more complicated and many use so many 3rd party add-ins that just sorting through what you have rights to release can be a pretty big task and not worth it if what you can release ends up unusable with all of them removed.

National Test Your Backups day. So much time and money lost because people either don't backup their data or assume they have when they have not. (Ok it's not a real holiday but it should be)

Exactly, just got to find that balance. Like slacking off and playing games at work.
Or my fav: playing complex games that are basically a second job!

I've developed a taste for Sparkling Ice lately, especially their Black Cherry. It's got a bit of real fruit juice in it and tastes way better than most other seltzer type drinks that usually rate somewhere from meh to vomit inducing.
They also have caffeinated versions but those have a bit too much for my liking.

I'm also confused, in the mod browser I see Mineclonia and Mineclone2 but no Mineclonia2. Which is better?

It does have full controller support and lots of on-screen directions for what buttons do what. How fun it is with controller I can't attest to, I'm sticking with M+KB.

I guess if you want to be paranoid you could get a new hard drive and install just what you want for the LAN and keep personal info off it. Then just swap back when you get home.

It's just a slightly more formal sounding title. This answer on stackexchange goes through some of the history on why alternatives aren't used.

I think it's pronounced "Madam President"

And the awesome part of DF is that each time you start over (on the same world) you just add more to its history and the story continues. Losing is definitely fun when keeping that in mind.

It's sounds snarky but the reality is not much will change from software and hardware developers until it reaches that level. Right now the direct support we get is from developers that just happen to like Linux. After around 10% most other developers can no longer afford to ignore that market even if they aren't adept or comfortable with it.
