It depends on the ToS of the forum... You might be able to make a freedom of speech case against them if the ToS either includes and/or omits certain language. I would think it to be a bit too expensive to hire a lawyer over a forum deletion or thread locking spree.

Just recently found out the Stronghold soundtrack is a free download... It isn't an orchestral ultra production like you get in most games, it's a simple yet pleasant style that I personally fell was done extremely well. Here it is. For some reason they zipped zips of MP3s... Don't ask me why. ftp://ftp.take2.de/extras/StrongholdMusic.zip

***DISCLAIMER*** These builds do not include the OS. These builds should be able to run any modern OS perfectly. These builds do not include keyboard or mouse, as you can use any you may have lying around, or you can purchase whatever you want/need. These are not gaming builds. Gaming performance is not taken into account for these. If you try to use them for gaming, you may find they don't work too well for it. If you want an 'also for gaming' system, get the Intel but include an add-on GPU. ($190 or more on top of the build price) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Now, before you start complaining about it being beyond the $700-800 range, bear in mind what the system is being designed to do. Modern $700-800 computers don't work properly for what is wanted without a massive amount of workarounds. (usually taking weeks of setup time to work out most of the serious bugs) Around $1400 is where you start to see nearly obsolete prebuilt systems that can do what is requested. (but only if you add in a GPU and sound card) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ An AMD build...

(apart from the GPU) It is also slightly less expensive initially. Recommended upgrades for the AMD: New Motherboard, CPU, RAM, and PSU (all at the same time, as quality budget AMD hardware is almost obsolete now - looking to be around $800-1200 for this) SSD and/or additional HDD Recommended upgrades for the Intel: Add-on GPU (I personally recommend this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125772 for $189.99) More and/or faster RAM (can go up to 32GB and 3000MHz on this motherboard) SSD and/or additional HDD More powerful PSU (I recommend any 80+ Gold or Platinum that do at least 750W) -

Star Trek Online. Once the lag abated, the new content and design was quite good. (though it really is too little extra content so far, and way too expensive for the new ships)

Yeah, I had to update my computer last night, so the servers were down until I got up... Servers are up again.

Wasted effort, unless you're recovering a corrupted disk. (corrupted FAT, file beginning and end corruption, etc) For a fully functional disk with uncorrupted data, there's really no reason to do it. I just realized why this game seemed familiar... I played it about 15 years ago... I made it to the "video" of the punching, and then it crashed and wouldn't run afterwards.

Virtually any desktop PC that you build yourself will handle all that. Audio recording and processing isn't that difficult for modern hardware, especially if you're using a USB interface. If you'd like, I can design a budget build for you... (I'd recommend at least 2 monitors though, as they do help a lot with audio work) -

Your definition of 'common' and mine vary massively. Also, since when does a game on a floppy have any form of copy protection based on the disk? (I recall no such thing ever existing, protection with requirements based in external documentation doesn't count)

Nice! Just as a tip, on the right side of the Imgur page, under the links, you can click "Huge Thumbnail" to get this size:

I like answer B combined with swerving into their lane... I guarantee they'll never blind people with their headlights ever again. OT: Heading to bed.

Hey, just use the number of days since your birth, and compare to the number of days in the intervening years, and then time it to the time zone in which you were born... (that's what I do)

There is no such thing as a disk image when it comes to floppies... Just grabbing all the files from the disk is all there is to it. (you obviously never dealt with them in person)

Update! I have expanded the Skybridge to have *Under Construction* 2 block wide walkways that lead outwards from the Hub a minimum of 1000 blocks. Enemies will not spawn on it, as it uses bottom-half only slabs. This makes for completely safe transport out to 1000 blocks from the Skybridge Hub. I have also added an accessway to get to the NPC Village via the Skybridge. The Skybridge Hub is also a workshop, storage, and sleeping location for anyone to use. There is a new Beacon Pyramid at 0/0/0 coords... This marks the new location where I plan to make my final residence. (though my residence will be a lot higher up) That means that apart from the wooden chest in the Starting Zone shelter, everything there is open for anyone to use. (I will be freeing up that wooden chest soon as well) I also added 16 Iron Golems to the defense of the NPC Village, 4 of which are outside the fence. I did this because 2 zombies managed somehow to spawn inside the fence, and started attacking me and the villagers. The Village is sitting at a population of around 16. Lastly, I need more people to get on while I'm on so I can get the achievement for throwing diamonds at someone!

Neither was I... I was hoping I could have someone tell people about it. :`( Remember when I didn't host servers on my laptops?

Actually, did that last month when the song was on the radio... It's a good song. Remember when the United States of America was about freedom instead of about just saying they are all about freedom?
