   Curious, what "artificially-complex" games do you play with your friends?

   Have you tried any other strategic board games out there? There are a fair few relatively recent games that involve deep strategy that come to mind. Since board games require the players to enforce the rules of the game themselves, there&#x

   I agree that there are lots of reasons that someone would make a site like this, but I think people are curious as to the maker's specific reason. From the github: Why would you do such a thing? My full explanation was in the content

   In the trash can there's a strange zip file you can download. Unzipping it reveals a readme.txt, which says: Sorry, no album download for the moment, our server is under reddit hug... The album is also here : https://janken

   What hardware and software does the paperweight itself run? I understand it acts as just a thin client, but I'm curious to know what's inside.

   What's this "hard mode" you speak of? As far as I know, there are only 6 levels, the hardest being "hexagonest" in hyper mode, which is the "hardestestest" level. I'm playing it on PC via steam. I&#x2

   I use Linux Mint on my main computer, but have used Xubuntu with good results. It's particularly good for older hardware. You might want to use Kubuntu if you're a KDE fan.

    According to the homepage: Because Hello is built right into Firefox, you can rest easy knowing that your conversations and information will remain private and secure. I'm not sure exactly why this is though. Also, out of curiosity m

    Interesting. I must've switched on HTML5 streaming ages ago and forgotten about it because I wasn't able to tell it was using flash until I right-clicked the video. I was pretty surprised at how stable it had been.

    I think Diablo and Torchlight were inspired by early roguelikes, but I wouldn't say the current wave of roguelikes were inspired by these games except maybe in terms of style (e.g. Binding of Isaac). FTL and Diablo 2 for example are qu

    Also worth reading is the three-part article by Patrick Wyatt on the issues encountered whilst developing Starcraft[1], which were a huge factor in its delayed release. Of particular interest is the path-finding hack they used [2] [1] http

    I totally agree with you. For me, this is what programming is all about - creative problem solving :).

    The discussion is about Google Chrome not working on Linux Mint. I said that Google Chrome works for me on Linux Mint. How is that not relevant? I'm not saying there's no problem, I'm just offering my experience to demonstrat

    Senior Android Dev here, moved from Eclipse to AS when it was still in preview earlier in the year. It's loads more stable and much easier to use. Definitely recommend giving it a go if you were turned off by Eclipse + ADT earlier.

    Hearthstone is great. I think just about any turn-based game out there is well suited for one hand.
